I moved from Banff Alberta across the country to a small town in Nova Scotia. There were various companies I looked at before I decided on Mackie Moving to help me with my big move across the country.
Right from the beginning Mackie was very keen to help me get the best value for getting all of my belongings all the way from Alberta to Nova Scotia, and trust me, there were A LOT of outrageous prices and ways about doing so for the numerous companies I had looked at..
As soon as I mentioned a time that was convenient for me, Mackie sent someone to my home from their Calgary location for an in home consultation, I believe the gentleman that came was named Len.
He provided a very thorough look at what I was anticipating on moving; from large furniture to small itemized packaging. He then went through a very detailed idea of what I should be expecting overall. This included the actual moving process, pricing, wether I would be doing my own packing or needing movers to pack things for me, timeline, and contact details with the moving truck and management regarding any further questions or concerns.
After the consultation with Len I was genuinely left feeling confident that all of my personal belongings would be left in trustworthy hands to make it all the way to NS. It was so nerve wracking talking to other companies that didn't feel trustworthy, with multiple bad reviews that would just end up costing multiple thousands of dollars.
When the movers arrived to my location in Alberta they did have to bring a smaller truck and then transfer my things due to my inconvenient location - which they proved to be no issue.
The movers were very polite, professional and efficient in transferring all the items necessary into the truck, and before leaving made sure I recieved all the appropriate inventory lists and paperwork.
As discussed in the begining with Mackie, I was anticipated to arrive approximately 2 weeks before my things would, which worked for me as my things would be going into storage for a few months anyway. (Storage was also offered by Mackie but not needed as per my specific situation.)
Once I arrived in Nova Scotia and it came close to the arrival date, the Mackie movers kept in touch with me via text message and phone calls in regard to a specific day and time they were expecting to deliver my belongings. I really appreciated the communication as I could properly schedule the unloading and storage for my things.
Upon arrival the movers were meticulous, polite and professional. They made sure I was on the same page with them as far as ensuring that everything was accounted for and that nothing was damaged. Everything went very smoothly.
I would like to thank Leonard Hoyt in Halifax/Dartmouth for being my main point of contact and helping me with everything I needed and ensuring a smooth process for my big move.
I would absolutely recommend Mackie Moving to anyone, and would definitely make the same choice if I ever need another move in the future. All around a great experience! read more
