Edmonton’s Cold

Jana D.

This move was tough due to loading in Edmonton’s cold winter but that was my decision. The savings was a huge help on my limited moving budget. I have not yet finished unpacking and the damage to goods so far seems related to our packing. There is a fair amount of black dirt smudges on anything that came in contact with the trailer walls...but I guess that could not be avoided unless we tarp-lined the whole space (I used 8 ft.)

Paul Pucylo at the Edmonton service center was fantastic. He advised me on how to fill out necessary forms as well as kept me in the loop in terms of delivery. Also, the driver was very friendly and patient with us as we madly raced to fill the last portion of the truck. Kudos!

Auburn Hills, MI to Edmonton, AB

They gave me a 4 hour window for drop off of the trailer. They kept providing excuses all day when I tried to get a more precise time. Trailer was dropped off an hour after my 4 hour window. I had to wait there for 5 hours. They were flexible and very good for the pick up however. Jason K., Auburn Hills, MI to Edmonton, AB
