I am so happy with my experience with anytime moving !They were very careful,on time, professional and considerate.Moein was very helpful and I really appreciate the team’s support.Thanks ,
We are so thankful for Anytime Moving! They delivered our new living room set promptly and even with rain and did it so carefully and skillfully. Thank you!
arrived 30 min late, worked extra slow to increase the bill, didnt speak english. They made a big fuss to my building manager about needing to borrow their door stops. why would a moving company not have door stops? Moved from a single bedroom to another single bedroom with a 15 min drive to the new place. took them 7 HOURS. I've hired movers in the past and it took them little under half the time for the same amount of stuff. don't bother.
Have used these guys 2 times now, and both times they were great. Available on short notice and accommodating to what my moving needs were. I would recommend their services!
PLS READ BEFORE YOU HIRE!!!Anytime movers and I had an email exchange clearly laying out the terms and conditions/agreement of our move including that they would charge us 1 hour travel for all travel time going from Richmond to Chilliwack and back. They refused to honour what they had quoted us and they FORCED us to pay for the full travel time even though we have it in writing. They told us we had to pay the full amount before the move was over and when we refused they LOCKED THE TRUCK! They threatened not to give us our contents unless we paid them the full amount of what they said we owed them even though it was incorrect and the move hadn't been completed.They said this was their terms and conditions that the move had to be paid in full before the move was done. I was never informed of these terms in conditions nor did I ever agree to them.They also BROKE many of our items. Wall Art, Glassware Furniture, Plant Pots and the Glass top for our dresser went missing. A manager has been promising to call us back to reimburse us. We have called many times and no one has called back or sent us any reimbursement and they have stopped answering our calls and emails.The movers didn't want to stop moving and hold or contents on the truck but Anytime Movers who hired them threatened not to pay them if they didn't hold our contents until we paid what they were asking for.They also stated clearly in the email that they are fully insured and would take care of any damages that occurred during the move and that hasn't happened. They also damaged our new flooring and dinged our freshly painted walls and put a hole in the wall of the place we were moving out from.They told us they came fully equipped with a 5 ton truck and shoe covers, floor runners etc. They came with a 3 ton truck, and no shoe covers or floor runners. They did eventually send a another truck a couple hours later but charged us another $200 for the extra driver.We have moved multiple times and this was by far the worst moving company that we have ever dealt with. I don't like giving people bad reviews but I felt I should to WARN anyone who was thinking about hiring them to save them for going through what we went through.
Tameem and Sam were extraordinary! I had enormous, heavy, solid wood furniture, and they handled everything like true gentlemen! Up and down three flights of stairs, over 8 hours, and they were truly amazing! I would recommend them in a heartbeat. Thanks, guys... you were really great and my move was perfect.
Moving, Tameem, and Sam showed up on time with great attitudes and work ethic. They worked hard to get the move done in a timely manner and could not be more satisfied with Anytime Moving's service. This is the second time we have hired the company in a short period of time and would do so again. Highly recommend!
Super fast!!! They were so efficient and careful with our items! And helped with more items to move. So grateful!!

Really satisfied with the moving service. It was quick and reliable. The movers were also really nice and polite. Couldn’t recommend them more

I had an amazing experience with Anytime Moving Company. The team was super friendly, always had a smile on their face, and made sure to handle our belongings with extreme care. What stood out even more was how pet-friendly they were! They made sure our pet was comfortable during the move and were so kind to our kitty throughout the process. Their professionalism, along with their approachable and positive attitude, made the move much less stressful. Everything arrived in perfect condition, and I highly recommend them for a smooth, pleasant, and pet-friendly moving experience! Maraming salamat!
UNCLEAR QUOTING + SURPRISE FEESAnytime quoted me an hour to move a piece of furniture. Even though I provided my pickup and drop off addresses for the estimate, they did not factor their TWO HOURS OF travel into the quote.Anytime charges full hourly rate for travel (which is fine) but this should have been mentioned in the quote. The final bill ended up being over twice the estimate and 2/3 of it was travel. The agent also claimed they had experienced movers who know how to move marble, but they tried to lay the piece flat and would have broken it if the sender hadn’t been onsite to intervene. Stressful experience all around.
Moein and his team were so helpful and professional. My moving was so smooth and I had good experience with this company. Thanks Anytime Moving .
Sam and Prabh helped me out very quickly and were super kind! would use their services again
Very good service by company specially moien he was very fast and carefull with his work and very polight to talk to and price was reasonable i absolutely recommend their service and i will surely hire them if i needed help with moving in future

Hi! Could you please provide me with 119$ refund? i’m quite disappointed. i was told that there would be big carts where all my bags can fit and be taken down but that wasn’t sent, and the helper was purposely wasting so much time. moreover, when i questioned about this, i was asked to pay or else my bed wasn’t being taken down from the truck. i was also crying a lot. the time i was charged for was also the time when we spent arguing about this issue. i need a 119$ refund please. thank you. or else i will be escalating this matter.
His team was helpful and professional.My belongs were not damaged.Highly recommend.

I'm very satisfied whit this compnay. They deal very well and work quickly
I recently used Anytime Moving for my move. I am not satisfied with their service because they brought only one dolly to move my heavy items, which increased the moving time. The process was not professional at all. The team was not punctual. My equipment was damaged and my new drawer was damaged and they did not compensate for the damage. I would not recommend Anytime Moving to anyone. They don't really take any responsibility for your belongings
I want to say a huge thanks of anytime moving. Very fast and careful. Wonderful experience100% I will use them again.
Very happy with our move, they took great care of our belongings and were efficient and easy to work with. Highly recommend using for your next move!

I've moved homes on several occasions, but my recent move from West Vancouver to North Vancouver with Anytime Moving was a cut above the rest. My wife and I have a deep love for wooden home decor, and our collection is quite extensive (and valuable!). We were understandably nervous about entrusting our treasures to just anyone.From the moment they arrived, the Anytime Moving team put our minds at ease. Their professionalism and attention to detail were evident in every step of the process. They treated our delicate wooden carvings, antique furniture, and hand-crafted wall hangings with the utmost care.What impressed me most was their genuine passion for their work. They weren't just movers; they were artisans themselves, appreciating the craftsmanship and value of each piece.The move was seamless. Not a single scratch or dent! It's clear why they're considered Vancouver's top moving company. If you're looking for movers who understand the value of your belongings and treat them as their own, Anytime Moving is the way to go.
As a new immigrant adjusting to life in Canada, the thought of moving from Victoria to Burnaby filled me with excitement. But with limited belongings and unfamiliarity with the city, the logistics of moving seemed daunting. Thankfully, I found Anytime Moving Vancouver.From the first call, they were understanding and reassuring. They took care of everything, from packing my few belongings to navigating the unfamiliar streets of Burnaby. The movers were so respectful and efficient – I felt completely at ease.Best of all, there were no hidden fees or surprises. The price they quoted was exactly what I paid. And they were punctual – not a minute late!If you're looking for the best moving company in Vancouver, look no further. Anytime Moving made my transition smooth and stress-free, allowing me to focus on settling into our new life together. Highly recommend them!

I appreciate the company due to the convenient moving I had last week. The most reliable and professional in vancouver.

I received every thing in original condition without any damage.Thank you for your professional job.
Rob and Hemad did amazing job with moving our whole apartment. Everything was packed very well and moved and put in the place perfectly. The guys were very kind and they helped us move quickly. Highly recommend them.
I asked Anytimemoving for four people to move my home furniture. They arrived at my address in Squamish on time and completed their work without damage. They were all friendly. I thank them all and wish them good luck.
These guys were awesome! Very very helpful. They moved everything, even stuff I was going to move myself. They ended up at the wrong address and deducted 30 minutes off which they didn’t need to as the place I was moving too was quite a trek! They were super friendly and super fast. Very professional! I’d definitely recommend them and hire them again.Thank you guys very much!
I had very bad experience with anytime moving services because there workers were drunk and they had damaged many things of my furniture and home and after this they also refused to give me claim so i will recommend to all people to avoid this company

Moved with Anytime today. They were amazing. Fast & professional and took really good care of our stuff. The fellow on the right side of photo had a really positive attitude as well. Highly reccomend!
they tried to charge me extra fees on the spot, claiming it was for "unexpected circumstances," despite everything being clearly outlined in our agreement.Save yourself the stress and headache; do not use these movers
Moved from Abbotsford to Chilliwack with a week inquiry and same day confirmation! 10/10 would recommend. Well done!
My move was horrible today the movers damaged my tv and refused to accept that and i so much headache after hiring them. So think 1000 times before moving with anytime
My recent move was a complete nightmare thanks to Anytime Moving Services, whom I hired. First of all, I felt abandoned and irritated by their terrible customer service, which included being impolite and dismissive to my questions. The movers arrived late on the day of the move without warning, which resulted in needless delays and annoyance. Furthermore, they handled my goods carelessly, breaking several of them beyond repair. They tried to charge me more money for things that were ostensibly covered in the original price, which just made matters worse. All in all, I had a terrible experience with Anytime Moving Services.
Great efficiency at our pickup location and unloading at our storage unit! Amir and Moein made our move run smoothly and stress free! We needed a plan B and they went out of their way to make sure the move was complete by our move out date. I highly recommend this company; great value at a reasonable price.
Moein and Mohamad were great at helping me move. Great communication, punctual and fast!

They wrapped all my furniture securely, handled delicate items like art and mirrors with care, and loaded the truck with expertise. Nothing got damaged. When we arrived at my new home, they were polite and made sure everything went into the right rooms. I do appreciate their professionalism. I couldn't be happier with their service in such stressful time and highly recommend them.
I had a lovely experience working with Anytime Moving Services. They sent two really friendly and polite gentlemen to help me with my move. It was very smooth and quick. 100% recommended!
I had a really good time with Anytime Moving today. They were super nice and professional from start to finish. The guys were awesome: they knew what they were doing, worked fast, were patient, talked well, and were just really nice people. Thanks for making my move stress-free! I definitely recommend them.😊
Anytime Moving Vancouver exceeded my expectations with their junk removal service.

How to Create a Packing Plan for Moving in Vancouver, Canada
Contents
Luckily, plenty of tried-and-true moving tips are available to make the whole process more effortless. Following a packing plan and moving checklist can help keep everything in order during the process of the move.
While there are various moving tips and tricks, it’s essential to remember that things can always go wrong during a move. Therefore, it’s best to consider hiring a professional packing and unpacking service in Vancouver to handle your move with expertise and care. The following list is entirely worth considering; however, you might need trusted movers to assist you.
4 Critical Tips for Moving Preparation and Decluttering
1 Plan ahead and go room-by-room
go through all your stuff and decide what to keep and what to leave! It might take time, but it’s not a step to ignore. Also, consider finishing the first room before moving on to the second space.
2 Get a floor plan
Ask for a floor plan or measure the space before you move, and work with a move manager to determine what will fit in your new residence and what must be tossed, donated, or sold.
3 Get the whole family and friends involved
If you live in a family, decluttering before moving can be tackled together. Get everyone to declutter their particular areas; you can also encourage the children to help with their rooms. Just get them to visualize their new bedrooms; it will definitely work!
4 Don’t insist on sorting everything by yourself
It doesn’t seem reasonable to pressure yourself to sort every item individually. Indeed, it is wise to ask pros for help, check out real-case experiences, and choose a reliable moving company so you can enjoy the benefits of hiring professional movers.
