    Alert:

    On June 20, 2022, BBB reached out to Canada's Leading Van Lines (CLVL) to discuss concerns regarding recent inquiries, complaints, and customer reviews. BBB requested additional information on their start date, their locations, including any locations for storage. As well, BBB requested clarification on how quotes are provided, as well their policies regarding insurance and liability coverage, and how they are disclosed to customers. BBB did request information on CLVL's affiliation with other movers on long-distance moves and the associated liabilities using third party movers. Finally, BBB requested terms and conditions on a guarantee listed on their website, and confirmation of any licensing they may have in place.

    On June 23, 2022, CLVL provided a response addressing our concerns. They have confirmed that they incorporated in 2018, but started servicing customers prior to this date. CLVL only has a Calgary office that is open to clients, and is currently listed on this profile. They do not have any other locations, and storage is offered through their affiliates and public storage facilities across Canada. CLVL currently only offers quotes online and in writing, and do not offer in-home estimates at this time. 

    CLVL offers Standard (Basic) Liability coverage at 60 cents per pound, per article which is built into the quote (note, there is a deductible). Upgraded and additional coverage is available at request, but the coverage must be requested at least one day prior, and written confirmation must be provided. Customers can obtain their own third party coverage, and can check with their insurance provider. CLVL does not provide coverage for third party property damage, or coverage for owner packed items. BBB encourages consumers ensure that they are fully covered prior to their move. 

    CLVL confirmed that they have no direct affiliation with other movers, but may use any other long distance carrier to accomodate clients' needs (such as in the case of transporting vehicles). If another company is going to be used for part of the service, the customer would be contacted in advance if needed.

    CLVL has made amendments to their website regarding advertised guarantees, and they do not require any licensing.

    They changed the delivery date 5 times after picking up my stuff. They are supposed to charge based on weight but refused to provide the weight despite charging for scaling. Additionally they are refusing to provide me with a receipt. I'm trying to find the correct weight so that I know if I was charged appropriately and if I was overcharged, I'm seeking a refund on the overcharges.

    Unfortunately, this company overcharges; they apparently consider themselves a mono-moving company across ******** provinces. That being said, they disregard everything, be it "fragile" indication on carton boxes, handling properly porcelain vases, or even carrying accurately wooden items. If these charges (at least $5,000) could at least be reasonable enough; no, 85% of the items arrived damaged! A computer screen looked like some liquid poured over the whole surface! One had to buy a completely new one! Did they apologize and offer to compensate the extra spending cost? Of course not! All they do is "pretend" to understand a frustration caused by the fact that one overspends money, which does not grow on the trees, by the way! Suitcases were properly closed and locked prior to being given to couriers; it seems that one handled all suitcases by throwing them like ***** or balloons, because all the locks were cracked and all the bags were half-open! All the carton boxes looked like they were constantly under water, while being moved/shipped! The porcelain vases were broken in pieces! Actually (laughing out loud!), the vases were broken into halves! Can you imagine, how to feel, when you see a jigsaw puzzle, instead of a beautiful vase! One could go on and on and on, but the bottom line is: this company is ABSOLUTELY NO PROFESSIONAL, when it comes to transporting valuable goods/items! Frankly, I am not going to be surprised, if all the items are damaged, while being moved within the same city of the same province! You can be on the phone with them for hours, you can express your anger and frustration, you send the pictures of damaged items and what happens next? They demand a proof of the paid invoice, even though it is established that the services were already taken care of! They make you wait for at least 3 months and in the end - offer you $10! You cannot even afford a meal on this money! The company needs to provide a decent insurance to clients! Return 50%!!!
