Sorting through various moving services in Vancouver can feel daunting. However, if you go into the process armed with some general knowledge, it can help you make an informed final decision. When searching for professional moving services in Vancouver, consider:
Local Moves
This is potentially the most common moving service in Vancouver. Most professional moving companies consider a local move to be in the same province and/or must at least fall within a specific range of kilometers. As a general rule of thumb, many movers consider a local move anything under 80 or 150 kilometers at most and are charged according to the total number of man-hours.
Long-Distance Moves
Long-distance moves are anything over 80 to 150 kilometers (to be determined by your specific mover). When sourcing long-distance moving services in Vancouver, you will have to consider if you’d like a full-service mover (the mover manages all of the details for you) or a self-service move (get ready to do all the packing yourself, but your moving provider will assist with the loading and unloading of the truck). Your vendor will price your relocation accordingly based on the service model you select as well as the approximate time and man-hours it will take to completion.
International Moves
As the name implies, this type of move means relocating from one country to another; any relocation that required crossing a national border, no matter how close the two countries are located to each other, is considered an international move. Due to different customs requirements, policies, and regulation of the destination country, an international move is the most complex service model and will be priced accordingly. Generally, a provider will estimate the cost based on the total volume of what you’re moving.
