With a low barrier to entry and little regulation for its workers, many Vancouver moving companies have come under fire for less than stellar performance. But that doesn’t have to be the case with your move. Doing your research when comparing Vancouver moving companies and collecting Vancouver moving quotes allows you to fill confident in your selection and hire a moving company in Vancouver that cares about your needs and guarantees professional experience. So if you research what the market offers, you might get exactly what you need from your Vancouver moving company and possibly end up with considerable savings.

Here a few tips on how to compare Vancouver moving quotes effectively.

1. Free vs. Obligation

   Some Vancouver moving companies will offer you a moving quote based on the pre-estimated weight (or volume: see #2) of your belongings. In other words: a good moving company in Vancouver will give you a non-obligation (free) quote for moving services.

   And then there are those Vancouver moving companies which offer binding estimates – this means the price you pay is fixed. However, this type of moving quote is different than the ‘not-to-exceed’ alternative. So, when you contact a moving company in Vancouver, ask them about the type of moving quote you will be receiving and take notes so you won’t forget important details.

   All that raises a question: what are those moving quotes based on?

2. Weight and Volume

   The more space your belongings occupy (or for other moving companies, the more they weight), the higher your final price for the move will be. So volume plays a big role in your moving quote. Most Canadian moving companies, including us, charge per hour and per mover.

   For a large amount of items to be moved, your Vancouver moving company can send more movers and a bigger truck or even a few trucks. Sometimes, hiring more Vancouver movers can save you a lot of time, so it’s worth considering that. In any case, it’s best if you get rid of some items you don’t need anymore before you start your move.

3. Additional Services

   For a regular move there is usually no need for you to consider hiring additional Vancouver moving services, as you won’t have any fragile items that usually require special handling, such as artwork or musical instruments. And if you need to move items like a piano – you might want to hire an additional moving service in Vancouver, BC.
