Why Choosing the Right Nanaimo Moving Company Matters
Moving is more than boxes and trucks — it’s trust.
Unfortunately, not every mover in Nanaimo operates by the book. Some advertise unbelievably low prices but hide important details like:
-
- What truck size they’re using
- How many movers will actually arrive
- Whether they have WorkSafeBC coverage
- If your belongings are insured during transport
At Take A Load Off Moving, we believe customers deserve full transparency. That’s why our estimates include every detail, from the truck size to the crew count, estimated hours, and clear terms.
We’re proud to be WorkSafeBC certified, CAM (Canadian Association of Movers) verified, and Google Guaranteed, ensuring your move is safe, insured, and professionally managed from start to finish.

1. Fully Licensed and Insured
Your belongings deserve the best protection possible. Every move we complete is backed by full liability and cargo insurance, ensuring that you’re covered against any possible damage. We’re a licensed and legitimate Nanaimo moving company, and we can prove it — any time.
2. WorkSafeBC Covered
Our crew is covered by WorkSafeBC, protecting you and our team during your move. This means you’re never liable for worker injuries — something that uninsured movers can’t offer.
3. Canadian Association of Movers Certified
We’re proud to be recognized by the Canadian Association of Movers, which represents the highest standard in the industry. Membership is earned — not claimed — and it proves that our operations meet verified safety, ethical, and professional standards.
4. Google Guaranteed

Common Mistakes People Make When Hiring Movers in Nanaimo
1. Falling for “Flat Rate” Scams
Some movers promise a “flat rate” that sounds too good to be true — and it usually is. These rates often exclude fuel, travel time, stairs, or packing time. At the end of the day, customers pay more than they expected.
2. Ignoring Credentials
Never take a mover’s word for it. Ask for proof of licensing, insurance, and WorkSafeBC coverage. If they can’t provide it, walk away.
3. Not Checking Reviews
Always check verified platforms like Google Reviews and Nanaimo Bulletin to see what real customers are saying.
4. Overlooking Local Expertise
Moving within Nanaimo requires local knowledge — narrow driveways, ferries, weather conditions, and island traffic. Choose a company that knows the area inside and out.
