Thanks to Vancouver’s 5 best furniture movers, we were able to settle in our new place right away!

We extensively test and research all services we review. Here's why you can trust us.
  • Services offered: We checked if the moving company can also help with packing and unpacking items, apart from the logistics itself. We also considered those that offer storage rentals.
  • Experience: We considered moving companies' expertise in handling furniture with care, especially in challenging corners such as tight and steep staircases.
  • Equipment: We assessed if the company has enough resources for the move such as packing boxes, trucks, and lifting tools.
  • Availability: We considered moving companies that are available on weekends or holidays. We also checked if they can accommodate moving requests on short notice, and are flexible for possible rescheduling.

When I was 15, my parents decided to relocate to Vancouver. It took us almost a month to pack up our personal stuff in our old pick-up truck.

Of course, we had to leave most of our furniture, as they’re too heavy to load at the back. Now that it’s my turn to move, I know that I can rely on Vancouver’s best movers so I can take my most precious belongings with me.

So if you’re moving to another place, you’re in for a treat! Keep reading so you can see which furniture moving company is the right fit for you.

How much do furniture movers cost in Vancouver?

Typically, furniture movers in Vancouver charge from $90 to $120 per hour for a two-person team. Meanwhile, additional costs will apply for those who need a larger crew.

Handles furniture with utmost care

“Jack, Musa and Saeed were my movers, they came right on time and did the job perfectly and quickly. The whole move took only 3 hours while I expected 5 to 6 hours. They were super careful about the furniture, walls and floors. Thanks guys.

Since 2008, Brothers Moving and Delivery Service has been moving furniture in both residential and commercial spaces in Vancouver and in nearby areas. 

We loved that you can conveniently request for a free quotation, allowing you to check if you’re comfortable with their terms before availing their services.

What sets this furniture company apart is that they were able to plan their route based on the area’s traffic, allowing them to maximize the trip on a daily basis.

We also appreciated how thoughtful these movers are as they proactively remove their shoes to protect our homes from dirt.

What’s great about this moving company is that they’ll wrap the furniture around you, giving you extra peace of mind that they’ll be safe during transit.

Another great thing about dealing with this company is that they offer temporary storage for your furniture. This makes them an ideal choice especially if your move is scheduled to a much later date.

We’re also quite impressed that they have a specific team assigned to cater to the moving needs of senior customers.

If you’re planning to arrange moving services for your senior parents, they have health protocols in place, ensuring the senior residents’ safety.

Pros

  • Arrives on time
  • Can accommodate bookings on short notice

Cons

  • A bit costly
  • No tracking system

Responsive team

“punctual, and efficient. They communicated very well and made sure everything was done to my liking at the end. They got rid of my old couch and then moved some furniture inside my home for me. Much appreciated. I highly recommend! Thanks guys! 😊”

Efficient work ethic

“I had a fantastic experience with Brothers Moving and their team of movers, Ben, Said, and Max. They were prompt, professional, and friendly throughout the entire process. They worked tirelessly without any complaints or excuses, taking great care of our furniture by wrapping and blanketing everything. Their attention to detail and efficient work ethic ensured that the move went smoothly. I highly recommend Brothers Moving and the exceptional service provided by Ben, Said, and Max.”

If you’re looking for an affordable furniture moving partner when you’re in Vancouver then you should consider You Move Me.

This company has been known for its expertise in handling oversized items, so if you have pretty large furniture to move then look no further!

It’s also great that booking for a furniture moving appointment is relatively easy and straightforward on their website or through their hotline.

During the move, we’re impressed that the movers still take their time to double check the padded furniture, ensuring that they didn’t miss any spot. Even better, while in transit, they’re willing to do a pitstop just to check if everything is still intact.

Aside from interstate moving, we loved that this company can handle long distance moving too. Additionally, we’re quite impressed that they have large vehicles and equipment to handle intricate items.

We even had fun watching the movers as they puzzle all the items inside the truck without having to worry about our furniture getting dents or scratches.

If you’re scheduled to move to a later date, we appreciate that You Move Me offers storage services, giving you peace of mind that your valuables are in a safe place.

Pros

  • Can handle oversized furniture
  • Offers long distance furniture moving services
  • Has storage facility

Cons

  • Long distance haul is pricier than its counterparts
  • Some reports of needing to improve communication

No hidden fees

“We are very happy with the service You Move Me provided this last weekend. It’s incredible how well they took care of our stuff. They wrapped everything with blankets and tape to keep the furniture and all the big/large stuff safe while they are moving it. Also they brought boxes with a bar where you can hang all your stuff which helps a lot if you have several shirts or jackets. We didn’t have too many things but still they sent 3 workers to do the movement which took around 5 hours including the driving from Richmond to Yaletown. They were at my place at the time they said they would be there (they called me before they arrive and they offered me if I wanted a coffee!!!). The guys were always kind and talking with them was very nice. At the end, they give you a pretty present (photo). The price was as they told us when we called couple of weeks back to do the appointment and there were no hidden fees. A friend of mine recommended You Move Me to us and I can do the same now. Next time I need to move out I definitely going to call them again!. Thank you very much to Jesse, Sahil and Brandon!!!”

Organized team

“I just did a big move to a newly purchased condo and was referred to YOU MOVE ME by a trusted interior designer colleague. Needless to say, everyone here was fantastic to work with. Alison was very responsive and helpful during the booking stage, and Aaron and his team were incredibly efficient, friendly, organized and careful with the move itself. In fact, they finished under the estimated time which was extremely appreciated. I would not hesitate to book them again and will in fact be doing just that at the end of the month with another move!”

If you’re looking for a furniture moving company that can arrange single-item deliveries then Sam’s Small Moves is the right fit for you. 

True to its name, you can tap them if you only need to deliver a single piece of furniture such as a bed, couch, or even an appliance.

During our move, we loved how they assessed all our furniture and other items, carrying out a plan before they even started the execution.

In case you need to move smaller items along with your furniture, we’re quite impressed that this moving company has blankets and dollies ready. Because of this, you don’t need to cram about placing everything in a box during the move.

Another thing that we appreciate with this furniture moving company is their swift response. We loved that they clarified all our queries, ensuring that both parties were aligned before the scheduled moving day.

We’re also pleased that this moving company can accommodate short notice requests. Yes, you can even tap them for urgent bookings such as same-day moving appointments, which is a plus in our books.

Most importantly, since they’re only dealing with a small quantity, we loved that it won’t cost you a lot to move your furniture from one place to another.

Pros

  • Clean and tidy movers
  • Has ready tools and boxes for smaller/loose items

Cons

  • Some reports of inconsistent quotation
  • Booking process could still be improved

Can accommodate last minute bookings

“Sam’s small moves provides excellent customer service and has always handled my furniture with great care. I have used them many times & will absolutely use them again. They are great with small moves, they respond instantly, and always do their best to accommodate my short notice requests on the same day.”

Keeps clients in the loop

“Really impressed with Sam from start to finish. And this was no ordinary job. I called on the Friday before Spring Break requesting furniture pickups in three different locations (Burnaby, Vancouver and North Van). The collection needed to be done that Friday and Saturday, with the delivery on the Sunday to Whistler. Sam took the challenge on. He kept me informed by text along the way, arrived when he said he would, and took all the necessary precautions to ensure our furniture arrived safely. Price was as quoted. He was polite and pleasant to work with. We will choose this service again.”

Aside from furniture moving, we love that you can tap Home Run Movers for vehicle transport too, making them a complete one-stop shop for all moving-related needs.

Additionally, they can also help you in packing your items so you can focus on your other errands. And if you’re scheduled to move on another date, you’ll love that you can take advantage of their warehouse storage services too.

What’s actually great with this company is that they will put a plan together, ensuring that the packing, pick-up, and delivery of items are on schedule. 

We also appreciated that their team arrived on time, allowing us to move according to schedule. 

We were also amazed as we watched the movers go from one furniture to the other. We loved that they were fast yet careful in disassembling furniture, covering them, and loading them inside the truck.

During the delivery of items, we loved that they helped us assemble everything back together. They even placed the furniture where they’re supposed to be—without any additional charge!

However, we noticed that it can get quite difficult to secure urgent bookings due to higher client demand. It might be best to call them a few weeks before the scheduled furniture move.

Pros

  • Wide range of moving services
  • Has a storage facility
  • Timely service

Cons

  • A few reports of needing to improve organizational skills
  • Multiple follow-ups when inquiring

Develops a game plan before the move

“These guys were great! Connected with Ty and we ran through a gameplan for the move. The guys who did the move were really professional, quick and made sure everything was properly protected and ready to go. Will definitely use for the future moves, would highly recommend!”

Michael, Google Review

Good communication skills

“Great customer service. Easy seamless move. I had Igor and Aaron doing the move and what a great team. So friendly. Very communicative about where everything was going. Moving is stressful and they made it a wonderful experience. Would highly recommend.”
