Vancouver Movers - Auto Transport - Car Shipping - Vehicle Movers
Looking at relocating in the near future? Need some reliable and dependable, affordable, professional, polite top Vancouver movers? We have been serving the lower mainland of Vancouver Canada since 1994. Our track record with the BBB is immaculate and we pride ourselves in offering the best movers service possible at very reasonable rates and enjoy top moving reviews. Although we specialize in Vancouver moves we can serve most major Canadian cities through our vast affiliated network of local moving and storage companies Canada wide. 
We can execute apartment, condo and house moves in and around the Vancouver BC area locally and the lower mainland. Our trucks range from 1 ton to 5 ton. When booking your Vancouver movers make sure to give us a detailed list of items to be moved so that we can select the proper truck size needed for your Vancouver movers. Sometimes the truck can be too small but also too big in some circumstances. Getting the right truck size for the move is crucial and we can assist you in making the right decision. To help your Vancouver movers select the appropriate truck size please request to have an estimator show up at your moving location for a free no obligation quote. But generally, for a 1-2 bedroom condo/house/apartment move a 1 ton truck is appropriate for anything larger a 5 ton truck is recommended.
When booking your Vancouver movers please make sure to give us at least 2 weeks notice to make sure we have a slot available. Booking your movers early also gives you the best spots available. Moving rates can also vary depending on the time of the month and the season, relocating at month's end is more expensive and mid month more economical. It is recommended to move out as far away as possible from the end of the month where all moving companies are overtaxed and sometimes over booked. Try to move mid week and get the first spot in the morning. Make sure the elevators are booked at both locations to help you Vancouver movers execute the move with as little distractions as possible.

How is your
What is the condition of the moving trucks? In
Do they carry boxes and packing supplies or not? While this might not seem to be directly related to the move itself. It can be an indication as how much the moving company cares about their clients. Boxes and packing supplies should be available for pick up and if the moving company has an online ecommerce boxes and packing supplies solution that is even better. It shows that they are serious about doing business with you.
How long have they been in business? While they might not need to be in business for one hundred years like the major van lines and large moving companies...being less than a year old
What is their specialty or do they even have one? Sometimes a jack of all trade can be handy but at other times you might need a specialized moving company, depending on your needs before telling them what you need done. If you need a piano move ask them how many pianos they have moved before and the type of pianos. Do the same about office moves or heavy machinery.
If you follow all these guidelines and ask the proper questions you should be able to choose the best Vancouver Movers for your needs and have a smooth and pleasant move.
