Citymove

No doubt one of the best moving experiences I’ve had, thanks to Citymove. Warren and his colleague Stefan were great. They showed up before time, Got stuff loaded in the truck ASAP and we were done with the move in 3 hours. Both were very friendly and made sure everything was moved with zero damage. Its great to do business with people who know their shit. Definitely recommended.

Amazing! When my scheduled move was at 9am, Warren and his associate came 20 minutes early. Things were moved extremely fast and efficiently. My apartment was in Coal Harbour and I was moving back to Surrey. Warren and his associate were super friendly and professional. I highly recommend their moving services!

We used Warren and his crew at City Move for another move and I’m inspired to write another review — they really are that good. They last moved us during a snowstorm in January; since that time we’ve gained another child: P I’m so impressed. They show up on time (or early), work like dogs, remain calm when I’m losing my mind, are careful with my stuff, and at the end the quote matches the end price. You really can’t ask for more in a moving company. Another successful City Move.

We used Warren and his crew of Roger and Bart to move from our condo in Vancouver to Steveston. We have an 18 month old toddler, so timing was more important than ever to us. They showed up 10 minutes before the allocated time to set up, and were ready to go at exactly the specified time, which was a great sign. For the rest of the time they were very professional, and the quote Warren specified was absolutely spot on. The finished loading very quickly, and met us at our destination taking into account our schedule as well. In fact Warren went out of his way to juggle some schedules to make sure our move went smoothly. At our destination, we have a three level townhouse, and they moved every item to the correct room without any hesitation, and asked us where to put items that were not labelled (and there were quite a few of those)!
All in all, could not have asked for a better move: on time, on budget and friendly and accommodating.

Warren and the crew did an excellent job for me earlier this week. They were to-​the-​minute on time for the appointment and didn’t stop moving the entire move.
Being up front and clear was a big deal for me and Warren was impeccable. Everything was clearly explained using small words as it happened.
Can’t recommend Citymove enough. They made it an amazingly easy experience for me.

Ok I’m fussy and like having people being up front and honest with me. So dealing with Warren and Roger was great. Warren was straight with me on how things were going to be and it was great that my 2 floor walk up didn’t cause any gripes or complaints. They took their time to do it right the first time which is what is best. They were very organized and efficient. Finishing on time! Thanks so much and so happy.

Warren and his team are an amazing combination of calm (which is important when I am totallly stressed), efficiency, and competency. Warren kindly held a prime moving time for me as I frantically tried to organize all the little pieces to confirm my move-​in/​move-​out coordination. Today, moving day, they worked quickly and skillfully (and with a smile, no less!) despite tricky parking conditions and an out-​of-​service elevator. Citymove moved me first 5 or 6 years ago and it was a great experience. Then when I moved again I used a different mover and regretted every minute. Moving is stressful and Citymove makes it a far more smooth and enjoyable process.

I booked CityMove after I heard great things from a friend on facebook. They arrived early which was fantastic and were very professional and friendly. I booked for 2 and Warren showed up as well to help supervise and organize which was fantastic and we had some really great chats too.
Can’t say enough positive things about them. Got the job done quickly and took a lot of the stress of moving out of the equation… exactly what I was looking for!
Thanks so much!

Would love to give these guys a glowing review as they came highly recommended. But that would be dependent upon them actually contacting us back to arrange for a quote. We tried their online form twice and called twice. Once we even talked to them & were promised a call back (that, sadly, never came). I’m sure they’re busy and all but it’s too bad they never got back — we would have liked to have used them!

Have used CityMove for two moves within Vancouver. Can’t say enough about the fantastic service received from Warren and his crew. Friendly, efficient, professional. Thank you gentlemen for a stress move.

I chose CityMove after reading all the positive Unilocal reviews and visiting their very well done web site. The web site has a video allowing you to see in advance the truck and all the very organized moving tools. The owner Warren is extremely professional. He takes pride in his work and has many useful moving tips. I ordered a 2 man crew and Warren offered a third if I would like on the day of the move, He was the third and I am very glad I had him working too. The other two young men were from France and were very professional and courteous. They had professional uniforms on. They worked hard and at a steady pace and were very careful handling my goods. The move was fast and easy. They work by the hour and the final cost was right on the money for the estimate I was given over the phone after describing how much stuff I had. I had to coordinate the move on my own and as a female I felt very safe and comfortable with them. I would highly recommend them.

We were late in getting a move-​in date from our new landlord, and so we’d missed out on hiring our usual movers. In the end, I’m glad we did, because Warren and his crew far exceeded our expectations and we’ll be calling them next time we’re in need of movers.
Given a tight timeline to work within, Warren was there right on time for an 8:00 am Canada Day move (actually probably 15 minutes early). His team had us out of our old apartment faster than estimated, and their rolling bin system made it easy to transport all the randomly shaped items like skis and camping gear that was difficult to pack in boxes. They worked efficiently to get us out of there fast, and when all was said and done, we were into our new place in less than the 3 hour minimum. Although we were happy to pay the quoted rate to ensure our move was done fast instead of cheap, Warren offered helpful advice on how many guys we should ask for next time if our possessions stayed the same or only increased by another 30%.
The thing that really stood out for me was that I’d asked them to be especially careful of the long freshly painted hallway, and after moving an awkward couch and armchair set, skis, bikes, and piles of boxes, there wasn’t a single scuff or mark in the hall. Every one of our items arrived perfectly intact.
The two guys working with Warren that day (Mark and Quinn, I think?) were funny and personable, and I spent time chatting with all three of them without really interrupting the flow of the move. As I mentioned before, the move was completed with such efficiency that I was shocked at how low our final total was considering we’d opted for the three man crew.
Although Citymove may seem a touch more expensive than some other popular companies, we found their service to be excellent value, and they were hugely responsible for turning what might have been a stressful day into an effortless one. I can’t say enough good things about this company, and I’ll be recommending them to anyone who asks me about hiring movers.

The job was to move various pieces of furniture and household items from two different locations to a 1-​bedroom apartment. The entire process was very efficient and professional, quick and painless. They had all the necessary tools — trolleys, mattress covers, door stops, everything! They took great care to make sure everything was packed and moved the best way possible, and everything was tied down securely in their truck to make sure things didn’t fly around when they were driving from A to B.
I’ve used other moving companies in the past and none of them have the same level of attention to detail as Citymove! Items were damaged, things flew around in the truck because it wasn’t tied down securely… but with Citymove you definitely get what you pay for… peace of mind.
Very detail oriented in finding out all the necessary information about my move beforehand. Confirmation emails were sent to confirm time and location; and they even called me well in advance to ask if it was OK if they could come earlier since they expected to finish a prior job early… which was fine by me!
Felt like no matter if the job was big or small, they treat each job with the highest level of professionalism and courtesy. Would definitely recommend them for any moving job, and I’ll be using them again in the future if I have other jobs.

We’ve used Warren and Citymove twice within the past six months. First he moved the contents of our one bedroom condo from one location to another in Yaletown in late October 2013 and more recently he did an office furniture move for me in the Mt. Pleasant area in late January.
Warren takes his job VERY seriously. He communicates well, comes prepared with an incredible set of moving equipment and is very conscientious of your belongings and the buildings you are moving from and in to. When the move is completed he emails you a copy of the invoice immediately.
His rates are right in line with other quotes I obtained. If you are moving a lot of stuff I recommend you use a three man crew rather than two as the extra body really speeds up the process.

Used Citymove yesterday for a short distance move.
From start to finish, they were fantastic. Smooth and efficient, they definitely knew what they were doing — from loading to unloading and carrying boxes in special large bins. Everything was handled with care — especially the furniture.
They arrived 30 minutes early and got to work right away.
Not the cheapest moving company, but certainly worth the extra money for a job done right.

I hired Citymove for a local move within Vancouver and I would hire them again in a heartbeat. They were professional, fast and efficient. They came prepared with helpful moving supplies like door wedges, plastic wrap for the furniture and large bins with wheels to move several boxes and small items all at once. This was the least stressful move I’ve done to date.
Like many moving companies I contacted, they do have a minimum number of hours required for booking and charge for travel time. So if you don’t have a lot of belongings, it might not be worth the expense. However, I have a lot of larger furniture pieces so it was well worth the cost to have movers do the heavy lifting.

Just used Citymove for the first time and I have to say that it was one the best experience I’ve had with movers. A little more expensive than other companies we’ve used in the past but I guess you get what you pay for.
I’d definitely recommend them

I moved last month from East Vancouver to Gastown with the help of Citymove and I would absolutely recommend their services. They were upfront about the costs, right on time on the day of the move, and very professional and polite. Their prices were absolutely reasonable as well. They had a bag for my mattress, as well as large bins to secure odd-​shaped items, and everything went off without a hitch.
The only comments I have regarding areas for improvement are (and these are very minor things) was a little bit of a lack of urgency (I think one of the movers may have been new and still being trained, which is noticeable when they’re on the clock), as well as white lampshades that they offered to move got dirty and will need to be replaced (should have gone with my gut and moved them myself!).
Other than that, great company, really nice guys, and exactly what you want out of movers: on time and professional. I have already recommended them to a girlfriend and would recommend them to anyone else looking to move. A really positive experience overall, and the next time I move they will be my first choice.

The short version: These guys are absolute rock stars and I will not consider using anyone else as long as they’re still around and doing as well as they’ve done for us.
The long version: In 2011 my husband and I moved to Vancouver from Toronto. The movers we hired in Toronto (NOT Citymove, who don’t do long-​distance moves and as far as I know don’t have an office in Toronto) apparently took delight in destroying our belongings; you’ll find my review of them if you look back through my history on here.
Once that outfit dropped (literally, like, from a height) our stuff off short of where it needed to be, on short notice I picked Citymove to finish the job. Warren and his team stepped up and did a fast, efficient, cost-​effective and CAREFUL job.
This past summer, we were all set to move from the West End to Strathcona. I booked Citymove, and then just days before we were to move, our new place got badly flooded and our move-​in date was pushed back by «around» two months. Citymove moved our stuff to an interim location – again, they arrived when they said they would, their equipment and truck were clean, they were careful, efficient, and fast, and the job cost what they’d said it would. Once the flood damage had all been repaired, I hired Citymove for a third time for the move-​in. This went the same as the first two times.
Warren also had advice on which boxes to get from where (the small heavy duty ones from Home Depot) for safest and most efficient moving — I followed and I think he’s right. These guys know what they’re doing and they do it well. I don’t want to move again any time soon, but if and when I do: Gladly again with Citymove.

I hired CityMove to help my husband & I unload a UHaul truck of ours into a storage facility. These guys were wonderful– showed up early, were friendly, professional & personable, and FAST. We got our 14′ truck (that was packed FULL) unloaded and into storage in just over an hour.
It was such a stress-​free, smooth experience. These guys are what we wish every mover was! We will absolutely be using them again and recommending them to all our friends.
