Moving can be a daunting experience. You have so many things to worry about, at the top of which would be, "Will my stuff get to my new place safely?". Sourcing your moving needs to a professional moving company should eliminate this concern. You trust that professional movers will be able to take care of all your stuff and have it delivered safely.
As professional movers, we are trained and skilled in the process of moving, but the one thing we cannot guarantee is that accidents won't happen. Whether it's a slip of the foot, passing through a bumpy road, or wiggling through tight corners, sometimes accidents do happen. We acknowledge this and have taken the necessary steps to ensure that you are covered regardless.
At Last Stop Moving, we're committed to making your move as worry-free as possible, even when bumps (literally) arise. That's why we've put together this handy guide to claiming damages for damaged or lost items, ensuring your peace of mind in the process.
All Professional Moving Companies in Edmonton have a process that facilitates how to file a claim. As the client, your first consideration would be to clearly understand what coverage your movers offer. For you to file a claim for damaged or lost items on a move, ensure that you use a Licensed and Insured Moving Company. So what kind of coverage do moving companies in Edmonton offer?
Full value protection – this type of coverage is offered by companies willing to cover the entire cost for damaged or lost items. This means that if it is a lost appliance, your movers will replace it with a similar model. If your item is damaged, then your movers will cover the entire repair costs associated. This type of protection is rare, and often companies that offer this type of coverage charge significantly higher rates.
Released value protection – most moving companies go for this type of coverage. This coverage limits the cost that your movers can incur when covering damages. At Last Stop Moving, like many other Edmonton Movers, we offer coverage of up to $0.60/pound/article. This translates to 60 cents per pound per item.
Third-Party Coverage – For some people, coverage offered by moving companies is just not enough. If you feel that you need additional coverage aside from what your movers offer, then you might consider using Third-Party Insurance Providers. Unfortunately, moving companies are not allowed to offer insurance services. So that means having your items insured by a provider separate from your movers. This will mean additional costs and therefore a higher moving budget.
Of course, not all damages are settled. Each claim has to be investigated and evaluated to ensure the validity of the claim. Different moving companies in Edmonton have different policies that govern the validation of a claim. Below are the main considerations for a claim at Last Stop Moving
Your damages will only be processed once it is confirmed and verified that said damages were caused by your movers. Note that this does not include items packed by the client.Your damages can only be processed if said damages were immediately reported to the crew foreman or directly calling us. You should also immediately record such damages, either by video or images. You must then fill out and submit the Damage Claim Form above. We will only process claims that are reported within a Two-Week Period of your move. Any claims beyond this timeline will be forfeited. We will not process claims for damages or losses incurred because of the client's contradiction to the movers’ instructions. This applies in instances where you as the client, neglect to follow your movers' advice on matters of moving such as packing or transportation.
No one likes the tedious process of filing a claim, we have taken measures to ensure that the entire process is as easy as possible. Just follow the steps outlined below.
All that would be left is to wait for us to process your claim and communicate on the compensation process. We value all our clients, at Last Stop Moving, we make every claim a priority. We will ensure that your claim is processed as fast as possible.
You can also call us directly at +1 587 602 4858, or email us at info@laststopmoving.com to check on the progress of your claim. Alternatively, you can also leave us a message through our website in the Contact Us section.
Remember, The sooner you report any damages and file your claim, the faster we can work to resolve your issue. We strive to ensure that all claims are processed within thirty working days of filing said claim.

Super prompt. Was given a 9-10am arrival window. Arrived at 9:06. Three men, one truck. Took exactly as long as I was quoted (5.5 hrs) so no surprises on the invoice. Everyone was polite and professional, took great care of my belongings. Would recommend these guys to anybody wanting to hire a great moving company at a reasonable rate. Good moving companies are tough to find! A real gem.
Fantastic service - exceptional response time. They provided help within 2 hours of me contacting them. Would highly recommend.
Guys were excellent, very professional and completed the job faster then anticipated. I have used Last Stop Moving twice and recommend them to anyone who are in need of movers.
I met with the movers and they got right to work did everything they were supposed to when we got to my new place they went right to work the guys where the best movers I have ever had
Nav and Kavinder were our movers. No complaints. Came in company labeled truck. Hard working and efficient. Does pretty much everything that was requested : wrapping furniture in blankets, disassemble/assembled furniture as needed. Though, I'm kinda surprised that the company did not provide them with a power drill.
We used Last Stop Moving for 2 moves this weekend. Both went very smooth. The movers arrived on time, well prepared and were very polite. This was the 3rd time we’ve used them…and will use them again in the future.
Everything about our experience with LSM was great! The only critique would be the difference between the initial estimate and the final bill was quite substantial. Aside from that, they were very professional, courteous, informative, and very careful with all of our items. We would recommend them and use them again for our next move!
Last Stop Moving… aptly named as this was the last stop for our shipment of goods fro southern USA. Communication was great, truck arrived on time, young men movers were polite, careful. Would certainly recommend this company. 😃
This was my first time ever using a moving company. It was very affordable. First, The quote I got was cheaper by almost 50% than some few other companies. They arrived early.
We had three gentlemen help with our move this weekend. We couldn’t have asked for a more efficient & professional crew. They did an amazing job! Would recommend anytime a moving company is required. We would certainly use their services again!
The young fellas that moved my belongings were punctual, polite and professional. They worked hard at loading my stuff safely quickly...and somehow even worked faster and harder at the unloading..
They accommodated our last minute schedule and the 3 people that came and helped over 2 days were absolutely fantastic and knew how to do their job well. They came with great energy and a positive attitude.
We had an excellent move. Movers were on time, worked quickly and were willing to move things not boxed. TV'S, pictures and mirror were well wrapped by the movers and there was no damage.
We had Last Stop Moving move us from Devon to Edmonton. The three young men were very polite, professional and did a great job for us.
Harry went above and beyond to set up a last minute move. The movers were on time! A rarity for movers in my experience and did a good job problem solving with a difficult piece of furniture.
They accommodated our last minute schedule and the 3 people that came and helped over 2 days were absolutely fantastic and knew how to do their job well. They came with great energy and a positive attitude. They were rewarded with pizza! Would definitely recommend without hesitation!!
