What Affects Your Moving Cost?
1. Home Size
The bigger your home, the more items to move — and the longer it takes.
2. Floors and Elevator Access
High-rise condos require elevator bookings. Ground floor moves are faster.
3. Distance
Local moves are hourly. Long-distance moves across BC are typically flat-rate.
4. Time of Year
Summer (May–September) is peak season. Month-end dates are busiest. Book early.
5. Extra Services
Packing, specialty items (pianos, safes), and storage will add to the cost.
