Cant recommend Econo highly enough. Incredibly good, efficient and friendly. The guys who helped us out were super nice and just kept on going until everything was done. Really impressed by how quickly they got through everything. Given how high some of the other quotes we got for moving were, they also seem to be good value.

Friendly, always smiling & joking. they made the move hassle-free for me as I wasn't even able to be there in attendance so it was extremely nerve-wracking even though, yes, as I said I was absent.... apparently I was told that everything went off without a hitch and there were no problems at all to report. all my stuff is safe & sound ( & in Storage.!!! )

Just used the folks at Econo Moving in North Vancouver to move from a house to an apartment. The team looking after my move consisted of James, Chris and Enas. They were outstanding in all aspects. Their patience and attention was very much appreciated. They were respectful and while obviously they did their job, I found them to be extremely polite, caring and accommodating. Delicate furniture was wrapped in blankets, boxes were taped up and fragile items were handled with care. Truly professional execution!
