Apex Moving YYC is a Calgary moving company that handles long distance moves across Alberta and to other provinces. Families heading to Edmonton, Red Deer or Lethbridge, households relocating to Kelowna or Vancouver, and people moving east to Regina, Toronto or Halifax all start in the same place: a plan built around their home, their timeline and what they are taking with them.
We take care of the planning, packing, loading, transport and unloading, so one company is responsible for your belongings from the day we load your home to the day we deliver them to your new address.
How We Plan a Long Distance Move
Every long distance move starts with a walkthrough of your home, either in person or over a video call. We look at what you are moving, how the crew will access each home and whether you need packing or storage along the way.
From there we build a moving plan with your loading date, your delivery window and a flat-rate quote. Because the price is based on your inventory, access and the services you choose, you know the full cost before moving day instead of watching an hourly bill grow over a trip that can take several days.
What Is Included in Your Long Distance Move
Your move includes careful loading by trained movers, furniture protection, transport in our trucks, and unloading at your new home with furniture and boxes placed in the rooms you choose. Every truck carries 40 moving blankets, 2 box dollies, 2 carpeted four-wheelers, plastic stretch wrap and 8 rubber floor runners, so furniture is wrapped before it leaves the house and floors are protected at both ends.
Every booking also includes $50,000 in cargo insurance and up to $2 million in property damage coverage. If your new home is not ready when you arrive, storage can bridge the gap, and full or partial packing can be added to your plan.
How to Prepare for a Move to Another City or Province
Start by deciding what is worth moving. On a long trip every item adds to the size of the load, so selling or donating furniture you no longer love can lower your quote. Book early if you are moving in summer, and confirm moving times with your building or condo board at both ends.
Keep important documents, medication, valuables and a few days of essentials with you rather than on the truck. Plan ahead for the paperwork that comes with a new province, such as switching your driver’s licence and health coverage, so your first weeks in your new home go smoothly.
Why Choose Apex for Your Long Distance Move
Flat-Rate Pricing
Long distance moves are quoted at a flat rate based on your inventory, access at both homes and any added services. You know the cost before the truck is loaded, with no hourly billing on the road.
Protected From Calgary to Your Door
Every booking includes $50,000 in cargo insurance and up to $2 million in property damage coverage, and furniture is wrapped in moving blankets and stretch wrap before it leaves your home.
Packing and Storage in One Plan
Need help packing, or a place to keep your things between homes? Packing and storage can be added to your long distance move, so the whole relocation is handled by one company.
Planned Around Your Dates
We work 7 days a week, including evenings and weekends, and offer free in-person or video quotes, so your move can be scheduled around your possession dates.
Our Long Distance Moving Process
1. Walkthrough and Flat-Rate Quote
We review your home in person or by video, list what is moving and check access at both addresses. You then receive a flat-rate quote and a moving plan with your loading date.
2. Packing and Loading Day
If you booked packing, we box up your home first. The crew wraps furniture, protects floors and doorways, and loads your belongings so they travel secure.
3. Delivery and Unloading
At your new home, the crew unloads the truck and places furniture and boxes in the rooms you choose, with floors protected again as we work.
I've used Apex twice now, and both times were fabulous! They are communicative, prompt, efficient, and the fellas they sent this last time were downright FUN to be around on moving day! Highly recommend.
If I could give 10 stars for this company I would , Sam Tristen Greg and Simon thank you so much for all help and professionalism . It was a really great experience for us . We were new to using Cubeit for moving and storage , we were told that you guys k ew how to pack these units and you did not disappoint!! We look forward to using your services in the fall to unload everything into our new house !
Brandon and Eddie were polite, prompt, very efficient at prepping items for moving and getting things done in a timely manner. They had to move a couple of heave and very awkward items and did so very professionally. Very glad we chose Apex for our moving needs, we would use them and recommend them any time.
My experience was absolutely amazing. Greg and Calem relieved my moving stress from the moment they arrived until the move was completed. I was treated great from the time James quoted me until the receipt was delivered. Absolutely recommend Apex Moving to anyone who wants a stress free move.
Eddie, Mo and Ala were fast, efficient, careful and friendly.
I would highly recommend them for your next move!
Thanks guys for making things much easier for me!!
On October 9/26 I had a move with Apex Moving. I was very very pleased.The guys were so nice and very thoughtful . I Am a senior with some mobility issues. They told me to sit down and relax and said WE GOT IT. They really did work so well together and quickly.
I have moved several times but never have I had a crew as great as these guys.My thanks and appreciation Carol Dean.
Tristan, Ben, Jesse and Greg (2nd day) were wonderful. We had a large move and they made it go smoothly packing the first day, getting an extra truck and people for the second main move day and finally a partial load and setting up furniture in the correct locations in the new house even with us changing our minds a few times. Wonderful service.
