The details you want
before moving day.
Access, storage, costs and timing: here are the questions to work through before booking your Parksville move.
Do you move within Parksville and nearby Oceanside communities?
Yes. We serve Parksville and nearby communities including French Creek, Qualicum Beach, Nanoose Bay, Errington and Coombs, as well as other Vancouver Island destinations. Share the pickup and delivery addresses so access, travel and availability can be included in your estimate.
What do I need for an accurate moving estimate?
Provide your preferred dates, both addresses, approximate furniture and box inventory, and the services you need. Include stairs, elevator bookings, long carries, narrow driveways and any bulky or delicate items. Photos of the inventory and access are helpful. Use our in-depth estimate form for the full move details.
Is your storage facility in Parksville?
Our two storage and warehousing facilities are in Nanaimo, with more than 8,000 sq. ft. combined. For Parksville customers, we can plan collection, storage and later delivery together. Storage is quoted for the goods, duration, handling and access arrangement you need.
Can you help with a senior move or downsizing?
Yes. Ask about moving, packing, storage and removal of the items that will not go to the new home. Confirm building access and possession dates, and let us know if a family member or other contact is coordinating the move. The estimate should identify which services are included.
What should I check for a condo or strata move?
Ask the building or strata contact about permitted moving hours, elevator reservations, loading areas and required floor or wall protection. Send the rules to us before scheduling. Each property can have different requirements; do not assume the arrangements at the old building also apply at the new one.
Can you move me between Parksville and Alberta or mainland BC?
Yes. We plan long-distance moves involving Parksville, mainland BC and Alberta, with applicable Canada-wide options through Great Canadian Van Lines. Pickup and delivery dates, volume, access, ferry travel and any storage requirements need to be confirmed in a route-specific estimate.
How do hourly rates, minimums and travel affect the total?
The hourly rate is one part of the total. Our published terms state a four-hour minimum, yard-to-yard billing and an equipment, supplies and fuel surcharge. Packing, storage and ferry arrangements can also affect the cost. Review your written estimate and booking documents for the charges that apply to your move. Read the billing terms.
Can I arrange packing, cleaning and junk removal with the move?
Yes. Tell us which services you want and when the old property needs to be ready for handover. We will confirm the scope, availability and charges for packing, moving supplies, move-out cleaning or junk removal alongside the move. Explore moving supplies.
What should I know about protection and coverage?
Tell us about fragile, valuable or unusual items before booking, and ask for the coverage information with your estimate. Coverage has conditions and exclusions, including restrictions for some item types and customer-packed goods. Review the published coverage policy and your booking documents before deciding which protection or packing services you need.
