We found out we were moving and neighbours recommended Small Moves Vancouver. As this was the first time we were hiring movers, we were nervous but from our inquiry, to the quote and moving day, it was amazing! Above and beyond excellent communication, precise advice/tips, exceptional movers who are professional, efficient, motivated and reliable. I would recommend Small Moves Vancouver 101%😊

Don't know if it was new employees or what but we just moved this past weekend and the guys literally dragged every piece of furniture down 3 flights of stairs hitting every one on the way down and breaking my dressers. They didn't even have carrying straps. I watched them drag my custom made mattress worth over 2grand over 10ft on the concrete in my back alley ripping the plastic protector, the sheet AND the protector beneath that. Then had to help them move it from the truck and into my new place up two flights of stairs for fear of them damaging it further. The guys even had the audacity to

Two guys. Extremely slow. Suddenly they speed up, probably more than twice, once I started going with them to the truck and back. Also very clumsy. They made a scratch on almost every furniture I have. They even broke some legs on some furniture. They were constantly bumping into a glass wall next to my building entrance. Luckily they didn't break the glass. Also, I asked some duck tape and some plastic wrap, they didn't have any of that. Moving company doesn't have those stuff?! Very unprofessional. On top of everything, very expensive. 8 hours for two bedroom apartment, and they didn't need to

I sent an inquiry email and received a response very quickly. In no time, we had booked a schedule for our move. The guys were super professional. They were also very friendly and even though we ran into some problems of our own (no fault of theirs), they were super helpful in assisting us find some resolution even though they did not have to. Super great guys! Would recommend 100%.

From the website inquiry to phone booking and moving day, everything was great. They gave clear details upon reservation and initiated follow up before moving which put my mind at ease. Both reception & the movers were professional & easy to work with. Since it was pouring the guys even wrapped everything up to protect it. Thanks for making this the least stressful & most efficient move.

This was our second move with Small Moves (the first being about three years ago).
Anass and Nas moved us this time. They were everything we could have asked for: punctual (literally on the doorstep to the minute), effective, kind, good-natured and hardworking. They wrapped up all our stuff with plastic to keep it safe. They managed to get our too-big couch through our too-small door problem with a door and had all the necessary tools on-hand. On the arrival end, they put everything exactly where I'd labelled it to go and checked in with the ones I failed to label. Really cannot say enough nice
