Top Moving Tips in Vancouver from Professional Long-Distance Movers
Moving in Vancouver is not the same as moving in other cities. Between dense traffic, strict strata rules, limited parking, elevator bookings, narrow streets, and tight time windows, even a local move can become stressful. When that move also includes a long-distance relocation anywhere in British Columbia, experience becomes everything.
At Always Best Moving, we specialize in local and long-distance moving from Vancouver and the Lower Mainland to anywhere in BC. From downtown condos and apartments to full houses and large family relocations, we’ve handled moves ranging from short local transfers to 7, 10, and 13+ hour long-distance moves across the province.
This guide is built from real-world experience—not theory—to help you avoid costly mistakes and move with confidence.
1. Choose a Moving Company That Actually Does Long-Distance Moves
Not every Vancouver mover is equipped for long-distance relocations. Many companies focus only on short local moves and subcontract or rush longer jobs—leading to delays, damage, and hidden costs.
Always Best Moving operates our own trucks, trained crews, and logistics for long-distance moves anywhere in British Columbia, including:
Vancouver to Kelowna
Vancouver to Campbell River
Vancouver to Kamloops
Vancouver to Prince George
Vancouver Island and Interior BC
Any destination, near or far
If your mover can’t clearly explain how they handle distance, timing, loading strategy, and protection, that’s a red flag.
2. Plan for Vancouver-Specific Challenges Before Moving Day
Vancouver moves require advance planning. Elevators must be booked, parking permits may be required, and strata rules can limit move-in and move-out hours.
Our team handles these challenges daily, helping clients:
Coordinate elevator and loading access
Plan efficient routes around congestion
Avoid last-minute delays and fines
Protect common areas and building property
Professional planning saves time, money, and stress—especially for condos and high-rise apartments.
3. Proper Packing Is the Difference Between a Smooth Move and Damage
Packing is not just about boxes—it’s about protection during transport, especially on long-distance moves.
We provide:
Professional packing for fragile, high-value, and oversized items
Secure wrapping for furniture, appliances, and electronics
Organized labeling for faster unloading and setup
Optional unpacking services at your destination
Clients who choose professional packing experience less damage, faster delivery, and better organization—particularly on long-haul moves across BC.
4. Understand What Actually Affects Moving Costs
High-quality moving is not about being cheap—it’s about being efficient and transparent.
Your final cost depends on:
Size of your home or apartment
Distance traveled within BC
Packing and unpacking needs
Access challenges (stairs, elevators, parking)
Junk removal or disposal requirements
At Always Best Moving, we provide clear pricing, realistic timelines, and no surprise charges—so you can plan confidently.
5. Use Junk Removal to Save Time, Space, and Money
Moving is the perfect opportunity to get rid of unwanted items. Transporting junk long-distance costs more than removing it properly beforehand.
We offer professional junk removal services for:
Homes being sold
Downsizing or relocating
Clearing garages, storage units, or condos
Post-move cleanouts
Combining moving and junk removal saves time and reduces overall moving costs.
6. Trust the Team That Handles the Move From Start to Finish
The biggest difference between average movers and top-tier movers is accountability.
At Always Best Moving, your move is handled by:
Trained, professional crews
Experienced long-distance drivers
Properly equipped trucks
A team that treats your belongings like their own
We don’t cut corners. We don’t rush long-distance jobs. We do it right—the first time.
