Trusted Long Distance Movers
Whether you’re leaving the city or arriving in it, our crews handle the packing, the paperwork, and the miles, so you don’t have to think about any of it.
Planning to Move from Edmonton?
Leaving Edmonton for a new job, a new province, or a fresh start rarely comes down to distance alone. It’s the coordination that trips people up. Matching your moving date to a lease end, working around a closing date on a new home, or timing delivery so your belongings don’t sit in a warehouse for three weeks waiting for you to arrive.
As one of the more established long distance moving companies in Edmonton, we build our schedule around yours, not the other way around. Our crews are used to Alberta’s seasonal swings, prairie highway conditions, and the paperwork that comes with crossing provincial lines, so your move stays on track no matter where you’re headed.

Thinking of Moving to Edmonton?
If you’re on the receiving end of the move, Edmonton is worth the trip. The city offers a mix of established neighborhoods and newer developments, a lower cost of living than most major Canadian cities, and enough space to actually stretch out. Families relocating for work or a change of pace consistently land here for the affordability as much as the opportunity.
Coordinating a move into a city you don’t know yet is its own challenge. You’re relying on someone else to get your delivery timing right, communicate clearly, and show up when they say they will. That’s where having long distance movers who are actually based in Edmonton, not a call centre three provinces away, makes the difference. We know the neighborhoods, the building access rules, and the local logistics, because we work here every day.

The Best Choice for Long Distance Moves from Edmonton
Distance is the easy part. What separates a smooth long distance move from a stressful one is everything around it. This includes inventory tracking, delivery scheduling, and having one person who actually knows what’s happening with your shipment.
Here’s what sets us apart from other long distance moving companies working out of Edmonton:
- One coordinator, start to finish: You get a single point of contact for your entire move, not a rotating cast of dispatchers.
- Full chain-of-custody tracking: Every item is logged at pickup and checked again at delivery, so nothing goes missing between provinces.
- Licensed for the long haul: We’re certified for provincial and national moves, not just local jobs with a bigger truck.
- Your crew, the whole way: We don’t subcontract long distance jobs out to a third party. The people who load your truck in Edmonton are the same people who unload it at your destination.
- Delivery windows that work for you: Long distance timelines shift. We plan around your actual move-in date instead of forcing a fixed schedule on you.
Long Distance Moving Services for Homes & Businesses
For Homes
We pack, load, and secure your furniture and boxes for the road using padding and load stabilization designed for long-haul travel, not just a trip across town. Fragile and high-value pieces are individually wrapped, and everything is inventoried before it leaves Edmonton, whether you’re moving a one-bedroom apartment or a full house.
If your new home isn’t ready the day your truck arrives, we can hold your belongings in short- or long-term storage and deliver once you’re settled.
For Businesses
Relocating an office across a province shouldn’t mean shutting down for a week. We move workstations, server equipment, files, and furniture with the same level of care as a residential job, and we offer after-hours and weekend scheduling to keep disruption to a minimum. Our team coordinates directly with your new building’s management so the handoff happens without delays on either end.
Full packing and unpacking support is available on every long distance job, from a single fragile-items package to a complete pack-out of your entire home or office. Specialty items like pianos and larger furniture pieces get the same secured, padded handling as everything else on the truck, and our crews are equally experienced supporting seniors through a provincial move, with extra time built in for downsizing, sorting, and keeping family updated along the way.
Packing & Unpacking for Long Distance Moves
- High-grade packing materials selected specifically for long haul transport durability
- Every box labelled, categorized, and inventoried before leaving Edmonton
- Fragile and high-value items individually wrapped and secured
- Unpacking and placement service available at your destination, wherever that may be
Storage Solutions
- We offer flexible short- and long-term storage in Edmonton for your long distance move.
- You can store a few items or your entire home with us, giving you complete flexibility.
Piano Moving (Long Distance)
- Our long distance movers use specialist equipment to transport your piano safely.
- We ensure both grand and upright pianos are securely padded for long-distance travel.
- We verify your piano’s condition at pickup and confirm it again upon delivery.
Senior Long Distance Moving
- Our team offers a compassionate and patient senior moving service for those relocating to a new province.
- We can provide support with downsizing, sorting, and packing before the move.
- We keep family members and care coordinators updated every step of the way.
- We have extensive experience moving seniors between Edmonton, Calgary, and other major destinations in Alberta.
Popular Long Distance Routes from Edmonton
The Edmonton–Calgary corridor is our busiest route by volume, and it’s one we know inside and out. Three hours down the QE2, with crews familiar with both cities’ neighborhoods, parking restrictions, and building access rules. Flat-rate pricing is available in both directions, and same-day delivery is often possible depending on load size and scheduling.
But Alberta isn’t the only place our trucks go. Some of the other routes we handle regularly include:
- Edmonton to Vancouver: A common move for people chasing the coast or a job in the Lower Mainland. Mountain routes add planning time, and delivery windows typically run 5–10 business days depending on season and load consolidation.
- Edmonton to Kelowna: A shorter interior BC run popular with retirees and remote workers relocating to the Okanagan. Usually a faster turnaround than the coast, often within 3–6 business days.
- Edmonton to Saskatoon: A straightforward prairie route with minimal elevation or weather complications, generally the quickest of our interprovincial moves.
- Edmonton to Winnipeg: A longer prairie haul that we coordinate carefully around seasonal road conditions, particularly through winter months.
- Cross-Canada moves (Ontario, Quebec, and beyond): These take the most lead time to plan properly. Depending on your destination, delivery can run anywhere from 7–14 business days once your truck departs Edmonton, and we’ll give you a realistic window before you book rather than an optimistic one.
What Affects Long Distance Moving Costs in Edmonton?
Long distance moving costs come down to a handful of factors, and while every quote is customized, you shouldn’t have to guess at the range before you call.
As an example, a one-bedroom apartment moving from Edmonton to Calgary, self-packed with standard delivery, typically lands at the lower end of the pricing scale. Add a full-service pack-out, a larger three-bedroom home, and a longer route like Edmonton to Vancouver or Winnipeg, and the cost climbs accordingly. These figures move up or down based on the specifics above, which is exactly why we provide a detailed, no-obligation quote rather than a flat number that doesn’t reflect your actual move. Here’s what actually drives the price:
- Distance and route: A three-hour run to Calgary costs less than a multi-day haul to Vancouver or Toronto, simply because of fuel, crew time, and logistics involved.
- Volume and weight: A one-bedroom apartment moves for a fraction of what a four-bedroom house does. Movers typically price by the weight or cubic footage of your shipment.
- Packing services: Doing your own packing costs less than a full-service pack-out, but fragile or high-value items usually benefit from professional packing regardless.
- Access and logistics: Stairs, elevators, long carry distances, or tight parking at either end can add labour time.
- Season and timing: Spring and summer are peak moving seasons across Canada, and prices (along with availability) tend to run higher than fall or winter bookings.
- Storage needs: If your new place isn’t ready on delivery day, short-term storage adds a modest cost but saves you from a logistical headache.

Action Moving Edmonton Reviews
EXCELLENT Based on 859 reviews Posted on Google Kartini HanitioTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am super appreciating Daniel and his staff at Action Moving! I've been out of my own home for 23 months (due to fire in the townhome complex). I'm very frustrated with the storage guy (long story) who caused the delay to get all my contents back, but Daniel made sure that his crew could made it happen ASAP, despite of them being so busy with the flooding around the city. His moving crews are so friendly and efficient! Thank you SO much, Daniel and the whole staff! Also shout out to June, who's so friendly and compassionate over the phone. You guys are the best!Posted on Google David StadnickiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great team of guys, moved us both out of the old house and into our new one. Managed to handle a few very awkward and heavy pieces with ease. All of our stuff arrived at one time, nothing missing or damaged (as compared to our previous cross-country move). Recommend this company whole heartedley.Posted on Google Mark FachadaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Arrived on time completed by the estimated time … cost very close to the estimate and nothing broken… what more could you hope for!!!! Thank you Action Moving !!!Posted on Google Robert BibbyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Action Moving was an excellent company to deal with when we were moving!! Highly recommended!!Posted on Google PrincessTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Used Action Movers to move belongings to a storage facility The movers arrived on time and the 2 men who packed everything into the truck were both friendly, professional, and efficient. The move proceeded without any problems. I followed to the storage facility and was utterly amazed at how they managed to pack everything into the storage unit. I was not sure if everything would even fit. They managed to pack everything neatly and safely into the unit, from ceiling to floor and front to back. I could not have placed anything else as every space was completely filled. I was totally blown away. These men assessed what I was trying to place in storage and placed everything with that in mind. WOW! Talk about impressed. They were strategic with placement while also thinking of removal when the time came. Action Moving has amazing people who can take the stress out of any move! I would recommend them to anyone who is considering a move. Do check them out first, like I did.Posted on Google LynnTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Action Moving staff were very helpful with ensuring our belongings were safely wrapped and secured as not to damage our belongings. They moved furniture and my belongings into my home and storage. True ProfessionalsPosted on Google Deb EdmontonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Showed up on time and great move! No issues and the price I paid was within the quote. Would recommend and/or use again. Thank youPosted on Google Trisha HelmanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Delightful experience. The young men were friendly and hard working.Posted on Google Mary FossTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great staff from receiving initial quote, to move and after move support. Friendly professionals and staff who go above & beyond, I have twice used the service for a local move and highly recommend the company and service for your needs. I will happily use again for future moves.Posted on Google Lindsey WeidenhamerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Daniel and his team were tasked with picking up an 850lb three door commercial freezer, taking it to my store, removing the old one, and putting the new one in its place. It was no easy task, especially the tight spaces in my store, but they got it done and did a great job. They were so friendly, efficient, and took great care with the freezers and my retail space. They made what was a very stressful experience for me (with a freezer that was down) a little less stressful. Thank you, guys!

Long Distance Moving Services FAQs
Pricing depends on the size of your home, the total weight or volume of your belongings, and any extras like packing or storage. Timing matters too as moves booked during peak season generally cost more than off-peak bookings. Because these factors vary from one move to the next, the most accurate number comes from a free quote, where we build a plan around your specific home and timeline.
The lowest-cost option is almost always doing your own packing and choosing a shared or consolidated load rather than a dedicated truck for your move alone. Consolidation means your belongings share space with other shipments heading the same direction, which lowers the per-move cost but can extend delivery timing slightly.
Booking during off-peak months (fall and winter, rather than summer) also tends to bring rates down. If budget is the priority, tell us upfront and we’ll build your quote around the most cost-effective combination of packing, timing, and load type that still gets your belongings there safely.
We recommend 6–8 weeks of notice for moves during peak season (spring and summer), and 3–4 weeks for off-peak bookings. High-demand routes, especially Edmonton to Calgary, fill up fast in the summer months, so locking in your date early is the safest bet.
Yes. We offer full packing, partial packing for specific rooms or fragile items, and unpacking at your destination. All long distance packing materials are chosen specifically for road durability, not just short-trip protection.
Yes, we offer both short- and long-term storage in Edmonton. We can hold your items before departure or store them at the destination if there’s a delay accessing your new home.
Cost is based on distance, the total volume of your shipment, and any additional services like packing or storage. We provide a free, detailed quote so the number you get actually reflects your move — not a generic average.
