These guys are terrific. We used them for a major move a year ago and to just move a few big items recently. We gave them an incorrect home address (duh) but they responded like pro's and were still able to help us out at the time originally scheduled. We really appreciate how nimbly they adjusted. Can't recommend them enough!

Excellent service from my first on-line communication to telephone calls seeking advice to final moving from house to condo.
Casie and Angie handled the booking and gave me good advice on packing and how the moving process works. Len Wrays also sells packing products at very reasonable prices - they don't gouge the customer which makes the packing alot easier. The moving crew, Mike, Mark, Max were great fun guys. They were professional throughout the move but kept their sense of humor and teamwork while working very hard. The move to my new home was freshly painted and carpeted. The guys were

They may be very good at local moves, but they have no idea of what their on-going responsibilities are for the international component of the move that was booked through/by them. Shipment of my goods were held in Vancouver for several months because of COVID and BREXIT. Len Wray, however, did not advise me of the delay and (when pressed) stated that the shipment was being held until a container load could be assembled. Then they effectively washed their hands of the whole move. In addition, they sold me all-risk insurance that did not cover breakage for anything packed by me (i.e. the entire

Len Wray's provided excellent and courteous service for my move from the Lower Mainland to the Sunshine Coast. They communicated effectively, the cost was reasonable, and the actual move happened on time and was easy. I highly recommend them as a business and service provider.
