MovingWaldo's review of Foster's Moving & Storage in Victoria

I was very disappointed by my experience with Foster's Moving and Storage. I had done a lot of research and they were highly recommended off of Reddit but my experience did not align with all the positive reviews. I was quoted $800 for a 4 hour move for a 600 sqft apartment to a 419 sqft apartment with a $95 dollar charge for a parking permit. The move was 2 blocks away from the original apartment. They took 6.5 hours and charged me $1515 (which is an absurd price for the size of move and nearly double the quoted amount). I specifically picked Foster's because the quote was a reasonable price and was much better than their competitors. The movers were going at an extremely slow pace and blamed for my packing even though they had multiple styles of dollies for moving and they also blamed the distance to the elevator, even though the distance was not far to the elevator and they tried to ask for 3 key fobs for building access, even though they already had 2 key fobs which is the standard amount of fobs given for a unit. I was frustrated because I spent a long time labelling all of my boxes carefully and they were just plopping boxes down randomly in whatever spot in my new smaller apartment with no care for the labels that I had carefully crafted to let the movers know where to put the boxes. When I called to let the company know that I was upset, I was brushed off and wasn't allowed to finish my complaint and just told to send an email to an address, which I found to be very demeaning. My experience left me very frustrated and it made the whole move day a very stressful day overall. I will not be using Foster's Moving and Storage again and will be advising others not to use their services as well.

Fosters supported a move for one of my clients and they did a fantastic job. Wonderful communication both through phone call and email. My client reported things went great. Price point beat out several competitors. Thanks so much to your crew!

Excellent value for what I needed during a moderate move from Victoria to Calgary. Communication was outstanding from the initial pickup through to delivery, and the team kept me informed throughout the process. The movers arrived well prepared, professional, and adapted quickly when the building's moving elevator was unavailable. Everything was handled efficiently and with care. I highly recommend this company to anyone looking for reliable, professional moving services.

Fosters Moving in Victoria was absolutely amazing from start to finish. I received a quote only about two hours after reaching out, which was so helpful and made the process feel easy right away. I was moving across provinces, and they made everything smooth, organized, and way less stressful than I expected. They were professional, friendly, efficient, and handled everything with care. The price was also super affordable, especially for such a big move. I’m so grateful for how easy they made the whole experience, and I would absolutely recommend Fosters Moving to anyone looking for a reliable moving company.

My wife and I hired Foster’s to do our move last week after looking into a number of moving companies, and we’re glad we made that decision. Jacob came to our apartment the same day I called to give us a free, accurate estimate and was prompt to respond to any of our questions. On the day of the move, his team (Brendan, Alejandro, Ryan) showed up on time and were very professional, accommodating, and efficient. Would definitely use them for our next move and recommend to anyone.
