Before the actual moving from Vancouver to Calgary takes place, you have to be properly prepared for this journey. Some may think that a move can be just a piece of cake, and yes, it may... for those who have no experience, important skills, and equipped trucks. While you may do a do-it-yourself move, keep in mind that you may find yourself in very difficult situations that may ruin your whole moving plan.
Here at Real Estate Movers, we offer a full spectrum of moving services when it comes to moving from Vancouver to Calgary.
Back in 2012, Real Estate Movers company was established, and since that time, weโve been providing quality moving from Vancouver to Calgary. Donโt take our word for itโsimply check our customersโ reviews. Those 5-star reviews reflect our ability to handle any kind of move with good work ethic and a smile. In short, these are the facts why our customers choose us.
When you hire us as your movers from Vancouver to Calgary you get all services related to your relocation. Whether you want us to do a full packing service, load extremely heavy items or ship your vehicle or a motorcycle we can do that all. Here are the general services we provide:
Before all your furniture gets loaded onto the truck or trailer your items should be ready for the loading.
On packing day, our packers come to your home with a full set of packing materials. It may take only one day to pack all the small items into boxes and label them. Depending on the fragility of those items, our packers may use bubble wrap, packing paper, different-sized boxes, and Styrofoam.
On loading day, our Vancouver to Calgary movers will disassemble your furniture, typically beds and the dining table. The next stage is furniture wrappingโevery piece will be wrapped in our moving pads. The following step is loading. For a smooth and efficient process, the moving crew will use walk-up ramps set up at the truck and on the houseโs porch. The driver will oversee and prioritize the loading sequence for all items.
Right after the loading is done the driver receives directions on this moving to Calgary from Vancouver.
He knows where to stop to put fuel, rest. Not to mention he goes through 3 scales that are located in Hope, Kamploops and Golden. The driver makes sure the truck is not overloaded. Usually a moving from Vancouver to Calgary takes 11 -13 hours depending on the road conditions.
After the moving truck arrives at the destination, your Vancouver to Calgary movers will arrange the unloading. With the ramps out and floor protection runners unrolled, they will bring your belongings to the designated rooms. As the customer, you decide where you want your furniture and direct the moving team accordingly. Once the truck is unloaded, the furniture is set up, and the paperwork is signed.
If customers have ordered partial or full unpacking, the crew will perform this service, provided they are directed on where to place the contents of the boxes. Once the last box is unpacked, the customer does a final walkthrough to ensure everything is in place and doesnโt need further organizing. After unpacking is complete, the moving crew removes all used boxes and delivers them to the landfill.
Very often customers don't take possession right away, and they need a short or long term storage. In this case, they have to contact their moving representative to discuss the storage options. The storage cost will depend on the shipment size and the time the items are going to be stored .
Here at Real Estate Movers, we offer a short term storage in the trucks or trailers (conditions apply.)
Whether you are moving a home, office, warehouse or storage, give us a call to get a good deal!

The given quote is a flat fee quote regardless the weight. The quote may change if the customer adds or removes items from the shipment.
