There was a great in person response to my request for an estimate. On moving day, the three person Alert team arrived 5 minutes early and were promptly working at the time promised. The team worked extremely hard throughout the day and were polite and courteous. They made every effort to ensure that damage didn't occur to the items being moved or to the properties at either end of the move. This was a positive experience and I strongly recommend this company.

Alert moving helped me recently with a difficult situation. They were professional, responsive and helpful. The guys were fun and they made the experience less stressful than it would have been otherwise, and the final bill was much lower than expected. Thank you!

We unfortunately moved right in the middle of the flooding in the lower mainland, however Alert moving made this truly stressful time easier. They made their best effort to get our belongings to us at our new home as quickly as they could, and really did whatever they could to make the move as seamless as possible. Very highly recommended, plus their staff happened to be some of the nicest friendliest people we've met. Thank you for getting us to our forever home!!!!!! Would 100% use them if we ever move again!
