Packing And Storage Services Vancouver

Everything between your old door and the storage door. We bring the cartons, paper, and wrap, pack the whole home room by room, seal and label every box, build a written inventory list, load, and place it all in storage. When you have keys, the same company delivers it back. One crew, one plan, one written breakdown.

Every carton gets a number and a room label before it’s sealed, and every number goes on your inventory list with a short contents line. Furniture goes on the same list. You get a copy before the truck leaves. Months later, you can ask for box 41 and we know exactly what it is.

In dish barrels: 18 x 18 x 28 inch double-wall cartons rated 51 ECT that hold up to 120 lbs, with cell-kit dividers that give each glass its own compartment. Plates go in on edge, never flat, because flat-stacked plates load onto each other and crack. Everything is wrapped in clean unprinted newsprint, since newspaper ink transfers onto ceramics.

It can if it’s stored wrong. Wood warps, cracks, or swells under swinging temperature and humidity, and mold can take hold on furniture when relative humidity runs past 60 percent. We prep for a stable environment and cover wood in breathable cotton, not plastic, so dust stays off without trapping moisture.

Yes, that’s the classic pack-and-store job. In a BC purchase, completion is when money and title change hands, and possession, when you get keys, is typically the next day or a few days later. We pack you out before completion, hold everything in storage, and deliver the day you have keys.

Usually a booked elevator, a damage deposit, and paperwork from us. Vancouver deposits typically run $200 to $500 refundable, sometimes with a $50 to $150 admin fee, but no provincial law standardizes this, so every strata sets its own rules. Most buildings want a certificate of insurance with the strata named as additionally insured. Without a COI, movers get turned away at the door. We file it ahead of time.

Yes, with a crew sized for it. Spinets run 200 to 400 lbs, uprights 500 to 1,000 lbs, baby grands 500 to 600 lbs, and concert grands 900 to 1,200 lbs. That weight needs the right equipment, the right padding, and a real plan into the storage bay, so tell us about the piano when you book.

Yes. Island deliveries ride BC Ferries, where anything over 7 feet tall counts as over-height and vehicles over 20 feet long pay per additional foot, $7.05 standard and $3.50 under the 2026 over-height promo on select Metro Vancouver to Island sailings. Truck length drives the ferry cost, so we quote the sailing into your written breakdown.

You get one quote, agreed up front and put in writing before we start. It covers the crew, the truck, and the equipment. Materials are listed per carton. Storage is a simple monthly line based on the space your inventory takes. Nothing lands on the invoice that wasn’t in the plan.
