I have used Highland Van and Storage twice and I would never use anyone else.

Could not have been happier with Highland from the professional estimating process completed by Arlene Kenny to the follow-up questions and details including the ease of picking up packing boxes at MY convenience from Christine and Anna in the Company's warehouse/offices. The women who aided in the packing were courteous, efficient, creative and skilled. The staff available during the unloading were likewise great to work with. One wine glass was broken and the base of a wall unit was slightly damaged but everything else survived the move from Richmond to Kelowna without a mark. The move was further
