Great Canadian Van Lines

Every single thing they have done was perfect! On time and very cautious. Moved many places and used many many companies. This one was exceptional! I didn't have to worry about anything. They were very polite and very good.

I had this company deliver some of the stuff another moving company forgot to deliver. The driver was awesome, he was nice and smoothed over the experience of the last moving company. He moved our furniture quickly and efficiently!

They arrived on time, gave us a lot of heads up before they arrived. The driver was very courteous and very communicative. Very helpful. I felt we had good communication with them throughout the move. A little damage on the furniture, but otherwise small enough not to be bothered with. I really liked the guy who was a mover, very friendly and easy to talk to.

They came on time, phone in advance. I never used a mover so didn't know what to expect. They kept us informed all the way across 3 provinces. Told us how they would load fragile items such as a piano. Everything arrived very well it was all a good experience for us.

Great Canadian kept me very well informed throughout the move with lots of notice. They followed through with that by doing what they said they would do when they would do it. Their personnel were always courteous, industrious and careful with our belongings.

It was a new experience for me. The crew arrived on time, everything proceeded smoothly. In terms of getting the goods we both met here in Vancouver. This move was to a condo building so they had very specific rules to adhere to but we worked together to adhere to them. I personally had to help with the move because of time constraints but I'm still happy with the time it took as it was very reasonable.

It was a good move. Perfect move. The move from Vancouver to Calgary only took 4-5 days, very fast. I definitely recommend this moving company to anyone looking for a prompt move.

NB: this is in relation to the cross-country part of a long-distance move. A local moving company was used as Agents of GCVL on each end so the actual packing and unpacking aspects have been reviewed elsewhere. Unfortunately mentioning another company, even when they have worked as a team on a service, is technically against the reviewing rules of this site so I cannot say who.

The driver (and 'crew chief' for the local guys on each end) was superb. Answered my questions, did the job thoroughly, ensured I understood all the forms I was signing etc. No hesitation recommending the quality of the 'on-site' staff for GCVL. The admin side however was less ideal - we ran into issues with accuracy of the quotes and lack of communication, plus the company decided to reroute our driver to Montreal (not exactly en route to Vancouver from the GTA!) for a pickup which delayed our delivery by 3 days past the deadline. That caused us some hassles with booking our building elevator at the new place, but to be fair we were compensated for the delay.

If we have to move a long distance again, I would be quite willing to use GCVL again - but those less tolerant of imperfect service should think carefully how stressed they would get if their stuff was late...

They were courteous and came on time. They were very professional. Clean and polite, they handled everything well. They were very gentle and didn't drop or smash anything. I thought that the inventory system was very good (had a checklist for every single item which I checked as they worked). They were good people. I regret not tipping them so they could go buy lunch. Don't know what I was thinking.

Arrived in Fort Mc Murray a day early, good thing we were ready for them. They were very efficient during their job and quite cheerful when doing it. Job well done and the driver of the truck was awesome.
