Frequently Asked Questions about Take a Load Off Moving Services

Can your movers accommodate large items like pianos, hot tubs, and gyms?

       Yes, our dedicated team of movers can move your entire home or business, no matter what your furniture is (as long as it’s not nailed down, of course). Please ask about large items like pool tables or pianos so we can provide an appropriate estimate.

What is the difference between long-distance and short-distance moving?

       Short-haul (or short-distance) moving can be as localized as moving across town, across Vancouver Island or to the mainland (Vancouver, BC), and long-haul or cross-country moving can be as far as anywhere in Canada. Long-distance moves are typically more than 150 km, so make sure you have a first-class team from Take a Load Off Moving to help you prepare for a move.

Do you offer long-distance container moving?

     TALO can load or unload shipping containers, although we do not ship the container directly. If you need a shipping container moved, our logistics expert is happy to discuss local freight services.

Do you have storage companies at my destination?

     Our storage facility resides in Nanaimo, BC, so an ideal storage option for short-distance moves or long-term storage if you’re moving locally or moving to Vancouver Island and need temporary storage. Outside of Vancouver Island, we coordinate with many reputable, carefully vetted storage companies across Canada so we can always provide a solution!

What are your rates?

     Our rates are calculated based on your needs. For example, if you have a small one-bedroom home, you may only require a 17-foot truck and one moving person to assist, but you may also need moving supplies such as boxes, tape, and shrink wrap.
You may also require a travelling companion to help unload and organize your possessions at your destination. Your needs are as unique as you are, and we take your specific requirements into account.
