Recently, we had the pleasure of helping a customer move from a 2 bedroom apartment in Parkland to a similar-sized location in Beddington Heights. The distance for the move wasn’t that great and there was a limited amount of belongings. Therefore, we would consider this a small move operation. It took 4 hours with 2 movers and 1 truck.
The customer had a 2 bedroom apartment in Calgary. We moved the following furniture and items:
During a consultation with the company, the customer discusses their specific needs and requirements for the move, including the items they need to have transported: a bed, dresser, two bookshelves, two end tables, an office table and chair, a sofa, a love seat, two coffee tables, and around 30 boxes.
Based on this assessment, Cactus Moving provides the customer with an accurate quote for the cost of the move. The customer decides to book the move with the company, and the team at Cactus Moving begins the packing process. They carefully wrap and pack all of the customer’s belongings, using high-quality materials to ensure their safe transport.
On a moving day, the Cactus Moving team arrives at the customer’s home at the agreed-upon time and begins loading all of their belongings onto the moving truck. They transport everything to the customer’s new home in Calgary SW, where they unload and unpack all of the items, placing them in the designated rooms as requested. Throughout the entire process, the team at Cactus Moving works hard to make the move as smooth and stress-free as possible for the customer, ensuring their complete satisfaction.
