Moving companies - recommendations? We're moving in December and need to hire some movers. What's the best bang for the buck in the Burnaby area? Thanks |
Don't use Ferguson moving, big company expensive you think u get good service. Nope u don't. Stay away from them. Sorry it's not recommendation but rather the opposite. |
check CL. There are some ppl that will do it for cheaper. |

I used to work for Heritage Office, they do lots of commercial moves and a few VIP residential moves. One of their top drivers (Greg) is now a contractor that does residential moves and he may be worth a call. If interested let me know, I'm not sure of his rates though. I also know of another company that can be good depending on the crew they send. |
We used Alert, they were amazing. Loaded and unloaded their own truck, then stuck around to unload our Big Steel Box as well. Tipped them really well. Alert Moving & Storage | fraser valley movers with storage in aldergrove mission langley abbotsford chilliwack |

if you need storage or plastic box rental. Try www.cube2go.com |
Being green sounds nice but it's expensive. $5.59/month a month for a tote that costs around $17 to buy seems like a nice mark up. I'd suggest using cardboard boxes as they are a lot cheaper. You can either start saving up banana boxes from a grocery store or get in touch with a company like great little box and get 1 - 2 bundles of 2 cube boxes. The added benefit to boxes is that if you are just transferring some of the items into storage you don't have to worry about unpacking and you have boxes if you ever move again. |

We rent the plastic boxes for moving at a $3.00 per box with 2 weeks rental starting at 15 boxes. That includes a drop off and pick up as well. *Disclaimer: I am a co-founder. |

My opinion on totes is a bit biased as the company i worked for used to buy thousands of totes every year to replace broken/stolen totes. But from a cost perspective boxes are always cheaper. And as long as all the boxes/totes are the same size it makes no difference to a mover. I think I paid 1.20 - 1.30 for a 2 cube box with a logo on it, but that was ordering thousands every month. Also when it comes to movers make sure you look into them, I've run into lots that i would never want to step in to my house. For the most part it's a job that anyone can do although most aren't that good at it. |

reviving this thread... just wondering if there are any movers within the lower mainland that pads walls during moves.. much like how they do it in the video |
none, some protect the corners of doors but for the most part you'd have to be horrible at moving to need that much protection. |
