Excellent service
Smart movers showed professionalism from start to finish. They took special care of my furniture. I would give Smart Movers a ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ . I would recommend their professional service to anyone I know.
Terry-Jo (2024)
I called for pick up of my tax exempt furniture. Although they didn’t have the availability at first, Jeff called me back as soon as he heard he could make my delivery work within my tight schedule. I received my furniture the same day, no issues. Very communicative and accommodating! I’ll be calling again for future moves 🙂
Excellent service, polite, hard working, and met quote
This is my first time using a moving company and I am beyond impressed. They arrived on time, in good humour, with a good truck and packing blankets, and immediately started moving. We hit the quoted time perfectly. Everything arrived in great shape. I cannot recommend them enough.
Fantastic, Efficient Movers
I moved within the city and had a lot of big items left to be moved. The move took place right after Christmas and the two movers had everything loaded and ready to go by noon and unloaded in my new place by 2:30 – they were very efficient, protected my belongings well, and professional! I am very happy with the experience and the cost and would recommend/use them again! Thanks!
Great service
The Smart Movers team was wonderful to work with. Moving day went so smoothly with their energetic pace. They took great care of our belongings. They had to deal with difficult staircases in our old farmhouse. We were very satisfied and would use the again and recommend them highly.
Great Workers
We had 4 men to move us from our home and then to unload all our furniture and boxes into a storage unit. They worked so hard with no break at all. Very professional and handled our possessions with extreme care. We were very satisfied with Smart Movers.
The men who came were accommodating willing to work with my schedule. They will even be returning to pick up a small load!
They also were very careful not to scratch the walls
Thank you for great service! The pricing was fair.
Great local move within Sackville, NB
Jeff had great communication, was flexible (as I changed date last minute) and was true to his word on pricing. This being our daughter’s (a student) first move on her own, Jacob and his partner did a fabulous job of putting her mind at ease and taking great care of her things and providing a stress free move. I highly recommend Smart Moving and will use them again. Thanks to the Smart Team for the professional move and wonderful service!
Long distance then local move.
Second time using this company for my move. First time from Ontario to NB and then a local move within NB. Crew was professional, polite and handle our items with care. Weather wasn’t great for the local move but that didn’t slow them down.
Great moving company
Moved from Toronto to Moncton area. Movers did a fantastic job! Everything went well. All breakables and furniture wrapped nothing was broken or damaged. Guys were friendly, helpful , quick and efficient. Delivery to our new house was within a few days. Highly recommend.
Moving from Dieppe to Riverview
The gentlemen who moved my household furniture and goods were excellent. They were polite, efficient and good-humoured.
They truly helped make my move a positive experience. They very patiently accommodated all my requests about furniture placement as I changed my mind several times.
Professional and courteous.
Moving homes is very stressful, but these guys made the process easy. They were very responsive and clear communicators, they stuck to their estimate and promises, and moved our things quickly and efficiently.
Their team was really professional and personable, setting everyone at ease on moving day.
Highly recommended!
Long Haul Move.
I would like to thank Jeff Smith and Dean for all their help in the move of our life from Ontario to the maritimes.
They were accurate with their quote, on time and the crew Jacob & Josh were professional, polite and careful with all our belongings.
I want to thank them again for all the help.
Interprovincial, short distance move.
My move was from a large house to an apartment in a different province, some two hours driving distance. Smart Movers quoted an excellent price, showed up on time and the two packers/movers did a remarkable job, completing the packing and loading quickly, while ensuring that no damage occurred and nothing was overlooked – difficult when most of the house contents were remaining behind.
I can’t say enough about the professional approach and skill demonstrated by both. Delivery the next day was again accomplished in a very short period, and they could not have been more helpful, courteous or careful. I would not hesitate to recommend Smart Movers to anyone who is looking for an affordable, professional move.
Moving from Ontario to New Brunswick.
After researching about seven companies, I chose Smart Movers and was incredibly happy I did.
Jeff was a great communicator and managed to get us scheduled with last minute changes. Josh and his partner were on time and extremely easy to work with, an amazing group to have moved you I give them 100% recommendation. I am impressed not one item was broken or damaged in any way.
Thank you for a job well done and appreciated. I will use them again if I must move. The price was fair and reasonable. They were on time and delivered as promised.
Move from Fredericton to Miramichi area.
I moved Friday the 7th after having my things in storage since last June with this company. The movers were clear on when they’d arrive and they assembled everything and put everything where I wanted. My items came in the same way they were stored. Would recommend them, had no issues at all.
Family move.
Your team moved my mother to her apartment and moved me to her home that I purchased all in one weekend. Josh and his team were so patient, professional, kind and calm making both moves less stressful. They worked long hours to get both moves done by Sunday evening.
They were all committed to keeping the pets safe inside throughout the move making sure they were behind closed doors inside before opening the door to outside. We could not have asked for a better team to move us!
Seamless long distance move.
We submitted a request for quotes for our move from Ottawa Area to Prince Edward Island and received many that were low and based on a three bedroom apartment not a three bedroom house. Smart Movers Atlantic emailed and took the time in the initial email to explain pricing and how it works and even offered a fillable cube sheet to give a more accurate quote. We were impressed with the upfront response to our request so went ahead a booked.
Jeff was always quick to respond to any emails I sent and was able to accommodate my pick up and delivery dates without hesitation or having to worry about storage or being without my things for extended periods of time.
The movers called a day ahead of arrival to confirm pick up time and came as a team of three and did a walk through of the house and made sure they knew exactly what was to come and what was to stay.
They worked tirelessly only breaking for lunch. After a full days work (12 hours almost) they had everything packed. They originally booked a big truck only to accommodate but ended up needing to use a smaller truck as well and did so without thinking twice even though it was my own fault for miscalculating how much stuff and space was needed. They didn’t blame me or get frustrated or mad they just went along with it no problem. Having that day go so smoothly relieved a lot of stress from me and I am truly grateful.
Delivery was just as smooth. There was legal delays of a day with regards to closing and Jeff rescheduled my delivery date no problem. All my stuff arrived in the exact condition it was packed in with zero broken pieces or boxes….and that is saying alot because we had a TON of stuff!! We also had a few big pieces like a riding lawn mower and a hot tub and such care was taken to ensure safe delivery. The team of three again was efficient in working and placed everything exactly where I needed it which made unpacking so much easier! All furniture that was disassembled was reassembled and they had such respect for my house and belongings.
I can’t say enough good things about everyone involved with my move (Jeff, Louis, Chris…and other two gentleman whose names escape me at the moment). Everyone was kind and had a positive attitude the whole way through which made things so much nicer and stress free for me which after a long, hard process of moving across the country was appreciated again more than words can say.
Highly recommend.
Shediac to Cocagne
Jeff was great! Honest, kept to his word throughout the entire process. Fair price, moving crew was excellent, efficient and respectful of our merchandise.
Will definitely use them again.
Good job ……
Great experience – small item move
We used smart movers several times over the years. The most recent is with a small item which was too heavy for us. The boys were prompt, polite and got the job done quickly.
Also reasonably priced.
No worries with Smart Movers!
Gold Star Service
We moved from Ontario to Nova Scotia and then returned back to Ontario a year later and I don’t know how we would have managed if it hadn’t been for Smart Movers Atlantic. During several of those months the contents of our whole house had to go into storage which Smart Movers were able to supply.
Our initial call with Jeff was very positive, he was informative and patient. He answered numerous questions and followed up in a timely manner. We were given dates and times which were always kept. On the day of the moves the crew would call us to let us know the approximate hour they would arrive.
We had never had to use storage facilities and were concerned what to expect after several months but our boxes and furniture were all wrapped and tagged and were delivered in the same condition as we gave them. I had created a manifest of all our items and everything arrived in mint condition.
We were amazed as to how respectful all the movers were, they handled our contents as if they were their own items. They were friendly, courteous and went beyond what we expected. They placed boxes and furniture where I requested and always asked where something should go if they weren’t sure. We have a collection of vinyl albums and the one mover noticed and said he would make sure they were stored in a safe location; they arrived in the same pristine condition not one album warped! You always expect there may be a few mishaps but were extremely surprised that throughout this whole ordeal not one item was damaged, not a scratch, not a dent!
We were so fortunate to find Smart Movers Atlantic, we had heard horror stories about other moving companies but this company gets the Gold Star for customer service and we highly recommend them!
Great movers!
We moved a house lot of 17 years about 15 minutes away. The two movers, Ben and Josh were fantastic. They wrapped and moved items with care, attention and were a pleasure to have around. Company rates were great, would use them again in a heartbeat!
Great workers. Fast & friendly.
We had some final bits and pieces to be moved within Fredericton, and the men that came were great. They were on time, fast, clean, and very friendly.
I wish we’d used them for our entire move from out of province — much better than the company we used to get here.
Thanks!
Move to Belleville.
Was very pleased with the efficiency and courteous nature of the movers. Also the plastic wrapping of furniture. Plus the time taken to load and particularly the unloading. Would definitely recommend this company.
Unloading help in Fredericton
We moved from Toronto to Fredericton and drove the truck ourselves but needed help moving everything in to the top floor of a four storey building. Plenty of moving companies don’t offer that service, but Smart Movers absolutely does for a very reasonable price. There were 3 guys and they were all very professional, courteous, polite, careful, and very efficient. It was a super smooth process and worth every penny. I would highly recommend them. Thanks Jeff and the team!

Smart Movers quoted an excellent price, showed up on time and the two packers/movers did a remarkable job, completing the packing and loading quickly, while ensuring that no damage occurred and nothing was overlooked – difficult when most of the house contents were remaining behind.

Easiest move ever!!
Jeff Smith and his young crew of polite and efficient movers moved my mother from her 1 bed apartment to her retirement home room and they were very professional and took great care of her paintings and belongings. They are good people, very trustworthy. I will use Smart movers Atlantic whenever a need arises again. I highly recommend you give them a call first and get a quote. You won’t be disappointed! They take the stress out off your moving day !! God bless you Jeff and your crew.
Moving a piano
Thank you for helping move a piano in Fredericton. Everything was smooth, and the team was super careful and friendly. Professional service. I would highly recommend them to others who need moving service.
Move from ON to NS
I would like to thank Jeff Smith and his team at Smart Movers Atlantic for an excellent move from ON to NS. You were all very responsive, timely and professional. The move went smoothly, and all items arrived safely without any damage. I will be sure to recommend your company and will hire you again in the future. Thank you for making the move so easy.
We used Smart Movers to move from one apartment to another in Fredericton, NB. The two guys who showed up for the move were very efficient and very careful with all our furniture. They barely stopped for lunch. The company answered every e-mail promptly. I would never hesitate to use this company again. I give this company a 5 star review.
Fredericton to Halifax
You do not need to worry about anything. Tell them what you need and consider it done—so flexible, responsible, and respectful people. No hidden fee. They were so responsive and handled the furniture very carefully. Thanks, Smart Movers.
Great job
Moved from Fredericton to Halifax, and couldn’t be happier with the service. On time, efficient, and everything was handled with care.
Great price and customer service too. Would highly recommend using them for your move.
Great experience with Smart Movers Fredericton! They were quick to provide me a quote for various options to suit my move. I had a lot of different questions about the options, but they were extremely responsive and helpful. I ended up having them come to load a U-haul – and the team was great. The guys were extremely professional, organized, and efficient. No damage to any of my items, and the truck was packed perfectly. Thanks again!
After we posted the news about getting our biggggger laser at Rock Paper Scissors Craft Studios, we opened it up and … wrong machine!!
It has taken 3.5 weeks and with no thanks to the big trucking companies, we were so relieved to be rescued by Smart Moving and Storage!!!
Never underestimate the ‘little guys’ and their amazing work ethic – these guys were up for the challenge and it was only ***AN HOUR*** between our initial call and waving goodbye to this crate!! All of the logistics and fancy equipment don’t compare to someone genuinely wanting to serve a customer in need
I contracted Smart Movers to move some very heavy large furniture(china cabinets; reclining sofas,…) last Friday afternoon including moving some large items down very steep narrow stairs in a 1960’s bungalow. I was amazed at how professional and strong the two young men were. They made sure everything was where we wanted and put back together. They asked us to make sure everything was as we wanted. I though they would be 3-4 hours but they had it done in under 2. I would definitely get them again and ask for Chris and Isaak too
The two guys who moved my fridge from my place to another did a fantastic job. They were there right on time. They were professional, worked quickly and efficiently and put everything back in place before leaving. It was well worth the money to watch them move the fridge so carefully and then checking with me to see that I was happy with everything before leaving. Money well spent!
I was in a bind as I was moving with all my belongings from Toronto ON, to Fredericton NB without very much notice at all, Smart Movers saved the day. They came and picked up all my belongings, which arrived to my new place all in perfect shape. The workers were polite and professional, and I didn’t have to lift a finger. The quote was accurate to what I was charged. Big thanks to the team at Smart Movers!!! They are a dependable and experienced service provider.
Wow! That’s all I can say. Very professional careful moving. Staff extremely polite and take care of your items. They worked until the job was done. Very reasonable rates! Used mats on our floors .. wrapped dressers and fragile items with plastic. Goes way above and beyond. You will not be disappointed with the service. Had 2 large cube vans! Clean. Highly recommended!
Moving Tips Best Moving Companies
Moving can be an exciting time. Smart Movers is one of the best moving companies because we believe the less you have to think about your move, the better. Read our blog to learn how to prepare your move to save you time, money, and keep your mind on the fun parts of moving.
Frequently Asked Questions
Smart Movers uses two methods: per hour and by cubic feet (length by width by height).
1) For most in-city or local moves, we charge a per hour rate based on labour requirements (two- or three-person crews) and the amount of time it will take to pack, load and deliver your shipment. Unless you request a two-person rate, Smart Movers may send additional workers at the commensurate rate, depending on the size and complexity of your move.
2) For interprovicnial moves, we use a cubic footage rate. Your final cost is determined based on the length by width by height of your property once loaded onto the truck. It is for this reason that you should provide more detail than you may consider necessary as to ensure the most accurate estimate.
Smart Movers accepts cash, certified bank draft, or e-transfer. We also accept crypto and officially minted gold bullion or silver in the form of bars or coins as well (accepted as currency at daily spot price) – for the more exciting among you!
Payment is made upon Invoice, which will occur after your shipment is loaded onto the truck and the size/hours of the move can be finalized. Payment is then due prior to offloading your move at its final destination.
Yes. Not every move is the same, and some offer unique challenges. Smart Movers applies additional fees for such things as apartment moves that require the use of stairs more than two stories high. These fees will be communicated to you with your estimate.
Yes, Smart Movers requires a reservation deposit to hold your date. This deposit will be subtracted from your final total once it has been determined on the day of the move.
Smart Movers will take apart and reassemble any items, upon request. If items are already disassembled upon our arrival to load, we will not reassemble. Any items our crew have to disassemble to move out of your home, we will reassemble at your home.
Yes, for public safety, Smart Movers cannot move dangerous goods, such as gasoline, propane tanks, oxygen tanks, fire extinguishers, ammunition, and some cleaning supplies.
Your plants can be moved. However, we do not accept liability for plants damaged by frost, poor packing or adverse conditions. Plants are shipped at your own risk.
If a piece of property cannot be placed at your desired location, Smart Movers will place it in an alternative location in your new home. If the property cannot fit into your new home, for instance in a smaller-sized apartment, our crew and management can advise you on appropriate steps. However, placing it back on the truck and removing it will cost an additional fee.
