Positive:Responsiveness
I called to get some advice about moving a large bed frame that didn't fit in the elevator and David took the time to truly understand my situation and offer different solutions. His generosity and kindness were very refreshing in this era. Great service.

Vancity moving was a fantastic choice! We moved from Burnaby to Pender Island, and are so very grateful for the professional and speedy service by this company. David was great at organizing everything and Jason and the team really got 'er done with excellent work ethic and communication skills. A big thank you to them! And don't forget to tip your movers, they work hard for you!

This review is long overdue. We moved from the Lower Mainland to the Island last year and couldn't have been happier with the service. This is not our first long distance move/experience with movers so can confidently say that this company is miles above what we have experienced before - price was fair, service was exceptional and David's ability to estimate space/weight is remarkable (it's like he has a computer in his head). It was also evident that David was a good employer and valued the work his team did and was obviously respected in return (something not often seen these days). I wouldn

I saw the reviews for Van City Moving were stellar so I contacted David. He came by the next day for a quote and details. I had a half load so was accommodated a lower rate sharing with another potential move. On packing day 2 team members showed up on time and meticulously and carefully packaged up the items in drop cloths etc and loaded up quickly. On arrival to my new apartment two team members were professional in uncovering all items and placing them in the required rooms.
Jason, Derrick, and Sean were fantastic and timely. The price was very fair for the service David and Van City Moving

VanCity did a fantastic job of making our move to Powell River stress free. David, the owner, was there every step of the way, from providing an accurate quote, assisting with packing tips and assembling a team of movers who were courteous, professional, and reliable. We highly recommend using VanCity!
