Reviews

What customers say

Customers praise helpful crews and positive communication during moves, with one customer calling out careful wrapping of delicate items. One customer wanted clearer delivery-time updates on a shared-load trip from Victoria to Edmonton: a bookshelf could not fit down the new home's stairs and was left outside; after the customer called the office, the driver got in touch, and the belongings arrived in good condition.

Customer Reviews

Karlee Zammit

I recently moved from Victoria to Edmonton with Sweenie (shared load). It was a bit of an unusual situation since I couldn’t be there in person to receive the delivery due to last-minute schedule changes. Throughout the process, the Sweenie team was kind and responsive, even when challenges came up (the truck broke down and needed repairs (which they did very quickly, less than a day), and my bookshelf couldn’t fit down the stairs at the new place so it was left outside). I gave 4/5 stars because I wished there had been a little more communication about delivery times and updates, as I had to coordinate a friend to meet the movers in Edmonton. I also would have preferred if the movers had dismantled the bookshelf to bring it inside, though I’m not sure if that’s standard practice. On the positive side, they did call to let me know about the bookshelf issue, and when I phoned the office for updates, they quickly got the driver to contact me. When I finally arrived in Edmonton (~15 days after delivery), everything was there and in good condition. Overall, I’d recommend Sweenie for moving—just try to be there yourself to receive the load if possible!

Patrick and his crew did an amazing job offloading and placing all my furniture and effects. They went the extra mile to keep me informed at all times where they were on the traveling and final arrival. Highly recommended.

Jan Atwood

The staff at Sweenie moving are amazing!! They go out of their way to help, suggest and be sure their customers are taken care of. Very polite, wonderful attitudes and all around great people. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone. Cost of the move was less than estimated by $1,000.00. In my experience, this rarely happens, especially these days. No nickel and diming, no unnecessary charges. They are diverse, and that is key.
