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!

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.

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.

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'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!

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.

Naz and Hossein, long-time residents of North Vancouver, faced the familiar challenge of balancing the high costs of city living with their son’s academic future. Shervin, their 21-year-old son, had been accepted into Simon Fraser University (SFU), and the family decided it was time to move closer to the university while also seeking a more affordable and serene living environment.

After much consideration, they chose Port Coquitlam as their new home. The suburb’s reputation for good schools, parks, and community-oriented living made it an ideal place for their younger children to grow up, while its proximity to SFU was perfect for Shervin.

The Challenge: Navigating the Options

When it comes to moving, what you need the most is just a moving company that brings value for the money. Naz and Hossein started looking around for moving companies in Port Coquitlam and pretty soon realized that movers are just not the same. As such, their priorities were pretty straightforward: they needed a firm that was moderately priced, dependable, and highly recommended by other locals.

Why Anytime Moving Stood Out

After an extended search, the best candidate happened to be Anytime Moving. Its price transparency, the architecture of its superior customer reviews, and the variety of services offered left little to no room for debate in the decision. 

While movers had veiled their costs in loads of complicated-sounding terms and conditions, Anytime Moving was crystal clear about its quotation, which perfectly fit the budget. They also provided some great tips on the cheapest way to move stuff across Canada, offering valuable insights that were very helpful for this family in planning the logistics of their move.

Pre-Move Planning

Once Naz and Hossein chose their moving company, the customer service at the company went through every step with them, from packing tips down to the scheduling of the move. The team made certain that everything was well taken care of. This was a huge relief because the family was able to focus on the emotional issues of their move rather than the logistics.

Customizing Services for Unique Needs

The moving company had a range of services other than the basic ones. For example, the packing and moving service that the company provided in Port Coquitlam was really helpful to the family. Delicate items, such as Shervin’s gaming equipment or Hossein’s Persian rugs, were packed by the movers with due care and delivered to the new house without any breakage. 

All this speaks volumes about the customized moving spirit of their moving company. They also provided an overview of shipping belongings across Canada, which is really important for shipping items that weren’t part of the initial move with the family.

 Moving Day: A Seamless Transition


Professionalism in Action

Finally, the moving day arrived, overwhelming and full of nervousness. It wasn’t very long, however, before the family was put at ease by the professionalism of the moving crew. The movers proved prompt, efficient, and very caring with the family’s belongings. The level of service made them shine right from the first box to the last, showing why they were one of the most trusted moving companies in Port Coquitlam.

The Importance of Trust

Trust is essential in any service but especially critical during a move. Knowing that their possessions were in good hands allowed Naz and Hossein to focus on other aspects of the transition, such as helping their children adjust to the new neighbourhood. By the end of the day, the family felt confident they had made the right choice with Anytime Moving.

Trust is important for any kind of service, but during a move, it is crucial. Knowing their belongings were in good hands meant Naz and Hossein didn’t need to hassle themselves with the move but instead could put their energies elsewhere, such as helping their kids adjust to the new neighbourhood. By the end of the day, the family felt they had made the right choice with Anytime Moving.

Settling In: Port Coquitlam’s Community Appeal


Discovering the Neighborhood

Their move into the house was complete, and Naz and Hossein were free to begin exploring Port Coquitlam. The suburb was inviting and full of amenities. They were surprised by many parks and recreational facilities in their new neighbourhood, which were just apt for their active lifestyle.

Transportation and Accessibility

One of their primary concerns was the commute into SFU and downtown Vancouver. Fortunately, the City of Port Coquitlam offers a selection of transportation methods, such as park-and-ride stations and public transit routes, making the daily commute reasonably manageable. Well-kept roads in the area and a lighter volume of traffic made it even more accessible to those who would prefer driving.

Educational Opportunities

For families with children, education will always come first. Port Coquitlam had some of the good schools in town, which would mean the younger siblings got a good education. With a few big elementary and high schools around the area, Naz and Hossein felt a little more at ease.

Shopping and Amenities

While it may not boast the downtown Vancouver core in regards to shopping, everything you would need for a family is just a stone’s throw away in Port Coquitlam. Grocery stores, shopping centers, and dining options are lined up in close proximity, while there is ample opportunity for outdoor activities with an abundance of parks and green areas.
