This was the second time I've used Jim's Moving, and I only have GREAT things to say about them. Meredith and his team are pure professionals. From the first phone call to set up the move through to the follow up afterward, their attention to detail was obvious. The team was efficient. They did an initial walk through, planned their approach, and then they HUSTLED! There was no wasted time or effort. They were exceptionally organized and coordinated in all aspects of the work. I was so impressed with how polite they were despite unpleasant circumstances with my now ex-landlord who yelled at them, told them to get off her property, threatened to call the police for trespassing. Most notable through all this was mover Sean who diplomatically took point in dealing with her to buffer the team and me from her angry attacks. This was a tough move for me. I was under doctor's orders not to lift anything heavier than ten pounds, so I couldn't do as much as I would have liked. The team stepped up to help with furniture disassembly / reassembly, they arranged boxes so I could easily unpack later, and they did some minor repairs for me too. There were no complaints with me changing my mind (repeatedly LOL) and saying "No, I think I actually want it over there, can you shift that around again." The movers were careful and there was no breakage despite some less-than-ideal packing that had been done prior to their arrival. My china cabinet, a precious family heirloom, arrived without a scratch. My heavy (and I do mean HEAVY) oak dresser made it up the narrow stairs to my bedroom with no damage to dresser, walls, or to the movers. I held my breath on that one, but like I said these guys are pros! I highly recommend Jim's Moving. You won't go wrong with them. read more

%100 satisfied with Jim's moving! I have moved so many times over the years both locally, into the US, even out of the continent. Some movers were "ok" while others were just terrible. In fact, the last time I hired movers I was pretty sure the guys were high. Tons of damage to both furniture and the walls trying to "squeeze" things around corners. I could have made a fuss but I just wanted the experience over with and them gone. This was a completely different experience. Meredith, who coordinated everything was in CONSTANT communication with me before and after the move, making sure I knew exactly what was going to happen, when, how, even advice on how to make things easier for myself. The movers Jaimie and Fernando were on time, friendly, very hard working, and actually quite funny. You know how well someone is going to take care of your belongings when you see how tidy and organized all of their rigging and truck equipment is. My furniture, artwork, mirrors, boxes etc... have never been so carefully packed and protected inside the truck. Everything was meticulously wrapped with blankets and secured as if fragile. I will also mention that they were happy to move multiple, insanely heavy and large, solid wood furniture pieces, including a massive ,extra deep, extra long (9.5 foot) solid frame, leather sofa. Jim's moving wasn't the cheapest or most expensive quote I got, but I can't imagine I would have been as happy with the service if it went with someone else. This company focusses on customer service and if you care about your home and it's belongings, please at the very least give them a call and see if they are right for you. Andrew read more

Really great moving experience that made a stressful time much easier. It was our first move in Vancouver and after getting quotes from a few companies chose Jim's based on their reasonable pricing and solid reviews online. Wasn't disappointed! Meredith was helpful with booking a mid-month move and always available for questions and confirmation. Crew of Tyler, Jake, and Pierre (hope I got that right!) showed up on time on the day, got cracking right away in an efficient and organized way and had our very large 2br apartment loaded in less than 2 hours. Hard workers who know what they're doing and took good care of our stuff, and nice guys on top of that. A short drive to our new place and they unloaded in an hour or so, making sure everything was placed in the right room and in the right area. Courteous, hard working team who communicated their plans, took our guidance, and busted their tails, all at a reasonable price that came in under the estimate. There was a small clerical mix-up with the math on our bill (a matter of just a few dollars overpaid), and when I realized it I contacted Meredith and he rectified the situation right away, explained the reason and then reimbursed the small balance immediately. I normally wouldn't add this kind of mix-up to a review unless it was to complain, but it's an example of how solid this company is that they took care of it in such a helpful and hassle-free way. Compared with my moves in other cities, I'd describe Jim's as a no nonsense, hard working operation at a comparatively reasonable price point as far as moves go. Will be using them if we need to move again in Vancouver and highly recommend. read more

If I could give more than 5*s I would because Meredith and Tyler deserves it! Let me start by apologizing to you both. I am so so SORRY!!! Why am I apologizing to them, you might be thinking, because a couple of nights ago while I was unpacking I noticed that my ring and anklet was missing, so I called Meredith up at night, almost in tears, asking him where these two missing items were (one ring was given to me from my grandmother, though it is not real, however the sentimental value is there). To get to the point, I basically accused them of my missing items. Meredith was so kind, that even though I accused him, he did not hang up, he told me he would strip the truck, look through the mats, even check his tool box to see if he could find it. He called me the next morning telling me the bad news, my heart sunk, and still thinking in my mind that since no one else was in my room, it must be either Meredith or Tyler. An hour ago I called Meredith up and apologized, to let him know that I found the missing items. The items fell into one of the opened bags. I feel so bad, because it was a top notch move, and Meredith even put my bed frame together, just because I asked if he could, and it isn't even part of his job! So once again, I am SUPER SORRY, Meredith and Tyler!!! I signed up to write this review as, this is the only way I can think of to show how sorry I am, and also to thank you both for a super job!!! I will definitely hire you again, when we move, and recommend you to my friends when they move!!!!! read more

My family and I recently relocated from Vancouver to the Sunshine Coast. We needed a company that could handle moving a five person household and two home offices. Meredith and his team were brilliant. Meredith is trustworthy, honest and straight forward and provided us with a very decent estimate. On moving day, his team handled all our belongings with care and did some crazy creative stacking in the trucks to make sure every piece would find a place. They were on time, worked hard and were very friendly. Our belongings were delivered the next day to the Sunshine Coast, and again Meredith and his team were awesome. No damage what so ever to any piece at all, rates are more than competitive, Meredith communicated with us promptly and the team works very efficiently. Thanks guys for all your hard work - we really appreciate it. I would highly recommend going with Meredith and his team!!! I had just posted this and started reading through all the other reviews. What struck me the most is that Meredith actually responds to all the posts. I think that in itself shows that he is totally customer oriented and cares about the people that hire him. read more

What drew me to Jim's Moving were the excellent reviews on Yelp, and I have another one to add to it. We'd lived in a 2+den condo for over 10 years and were moving to a 3BR townhouse, and suffice to say we had accumulated a lot of stuff. Our last move with another company was ridiculous--2 person team, a 5 tonne, 8+ hours, at the end of the day we felt so badly for our poor exhausted movers that we ended up doing some of the labour ourselves! We didn't want that experience again. After discussing my concerns with Meredith we opted for a 4 person team and 2 trucks to maximize volume and efficiency. All 4 of them--Mere, Jake, Tyler & Jeannie--were nothing short of AWESOME. From start to finish (including a 40 minute commute, dismantling a cabinet that wouldn't fit up the stairs, and reassembling it) the whole shebang took 5 hours. This team has a high level of professional integrity, good camaraderie, loads of energy, and a great attitude. I highly recommend them! read more

I've seriously meant to write this for a year, but I have a toddler so I can't be held responsible ;) It's literally a year, so happy anniversary! I went with this company because of the Yelp reviews and was not disappointed. It was a big move from Vancouver to the wilds of Lake Errock (don't come here, it's terrible and unpopulated, just the way we like it), so a good two hour drive with a big truck, and we needed to move on the 1st of the month. Meredith was totally awesome about all of it, gave us a quote with a range and ended up charging us on the cheaper side! Meredith was amazing. Him and his guy were speedy, but careful, chatty and friendly, but not irritating. They worked so so hard. Honestly, these guys were professional as hell. I've since recommended them to any friends that have moved, but here's the online one I promised myself I'd write. So yes, even a year later, I think of the work they did for our family and am impressed. read more

3rd time I've used these guys and once again they did an outstanding job! This time it was moving goods from a storage locker to a Uhaul to load into U-Boxes. They were on time and got to work immediately. Packing boxes for a cross-country haul is very different than loading a truck for a local move, but Meredith and Fernando took that in stride and did an excellent job. I feel very confident my belongings will reach the other side of the country just fine and not have shifted much, if at all. There are a lot of movers out there to choose from, but my personal recommendation is these guys. Professional, courteous and efficient! It will be worth every penny and you won't be disappointed!! I'm actually sad I'll not be able to use them again, but they are probably a little relieved to not have to move my stuff around anymore. LOL Thanks again for everything!! read more

Overall really happy I went with Jim's moving as they went above and beyond for such a reasonable price. The booking was really easy to make and their website had clear info about pricing-I like that they have a flat rate, as many other companies seem to have endless extra charges. When I spoke to Meredith (the guy running it) I felt like he really meant it when he said they would be there on moving day as promised-and they were! They arrived right on time, and worked fast and efficiently to get my stuff on the truck, and worked just as hard on the other end getting my stuff unpacked and in place even in the pouring rain. I also found it convenient that they take all forms of payment and emailed me a receipt after it was done. In the end my move cost me less than I budgeted thanks to Jim's moving-don't hesitate to use these guys for your next move! read more

Meredith helped us move about 8 months ago so this review is a little late but better late than never! Both he and Tyler were very easy to work with and exceptionally professional. Everything was packed and placed in the truck with care and with great efficiency. All fragile items were covered and padded which gave me the assurance that everything would be moved safely to their destination. They were. While moving things down a long corridor in our apartment building, Meredith pointed out previous scratches and dings in the walls and took photos of them for us, to make sure we weren't charged for them by building management. He also cut down time for us, by finding a quicker way to get our furniture in, and therefore reducing our fee. Also, he's just a nice guy. On top of great service, their business also has very reasonable rates. read more

This is an overdue THANK YOU to Meredith and Ty for an awesome job in helping my son and me with my move! I found Meredith to be incredibly helpful with imparting knowledge and to have awesome customer service. He works to not let anyone down and this touched me more than any words can describe. Meredith maintaining contact appropriately and (him and Ty) proved to be very reliable, thoughtful, fast, efficient and careful. I would recommend Jims Moving, with Meredith and Ty, to any in need of moving services. It was through the posted recommendations that I selected Jims Moving and I am pleased that I did and hope that others will benefit from a service that is rarely found in these parts. There is much more that I can say but the main point is that Meredith and Ty deserve every accolade available for service that was far reaching. read more

BEYOND amazing...! We were very nervous about our move from a big house to an even larger one. (We're picky and we treasure our "stuff".) Jim's Moving and the crew were absolutely exceptional. They worked super-hard and they were careful and meticulous. They took great care with everything and once we got to the new house, they put everything in its place. They were so polite, engaging and a pleasure to be with. They were funny too. Who ever thought a moving day could be fun? Thank you Cole, Jake, Tyler, Pierre, Fernando and sweet Max (adorable young man!). You totally rocked it and made our move enjoyable and fun. (Who does that?! YOU do that!) Our mother-in-law is moving in September and you can be sure we will be hiring you again - we wouldn't hesitate! If we could give you 10 stars instead of the maximum allowable 5, we would! read more

Jim's moving was absolutely amazing. Meredith was very knowledgeable and helped with organising dates and times. The guys showed up slightly earlier and immediately started putting things in the truck. They were extremely courteous and careful with everything. Once we got to the new place, we realised the sofa wouldn't fit up the stairs and so they finished unloading everything else. Meredith made sure that the very next day, they came by again with an extra guy and hoisted our sofa through the balcony in half an hour flat. These guys were quick, professional and very careful with everything. Not only that, but their price was very fair in comparison to some of the other larger moving companies who have no problem charging you an arm and a leg. A very pleasant experience with these movers. Would highly recommend them! read more

After seeing all the great reviews, we chose Jim's moving to help us move our things from our two bedroom condo into a storage unit after we sold our condo. It was the right decision! Meredith was great and took good care of our things. Even though it was raining, the movers easily got our things loaded using tarps to cover them. We were a little uncertain about how everything would fit into the storage unit, but Meredith really knew what he was doing and packed everything into the storage unit like putting together a 3D puzzle Everything went super smoothly and we were finished in exactly the amount of time Meredith had quoted to us. We were so happy with the service that we are going to use Jim's Moving again when we move our things from the storage unit into our new house. read more

Excellent company with great customer service and moving service. My wife told me that the person on the phone was very courteous and helpful with information and booking. The movers, who I cannot recall their names, were very helpful and professional. They were able to move everything from the apartment to the truck and vicerversa relatively quickly. They arrived 15 mins before to start helping right away. They delivered everything, and also they came prepared with tools to help protect the furniture that my wife and I forgot to protect. No furniture/electronics/etc was damaged at all, which shows how good they are. The price is average to what you find around. I will definitely contact them again, if needed, and I will recommend them to friends. read more

Debbie B I'm so glad I asked Freeway Storage if they knew any good movers because they recommended the best and believe me my move was not the easiest. Mere and Tyler had to pack everything up 50 stairs from the house to the truck. I was so happy with the service I booked them to move the articles from my locker a few days later instead of doing it in my car and a friends pickup. They arrived on time, worked non stop, and did the stairs with a smile but i'm sure that Tyler was happy to see the end of those stairs. It took the two of them 8 hours in total to move me and I had been quoted by another company 8 hours with 4 guys and a gas surcharge on top it. I will definately tell everyone I know that they need to call Jim's for all their moves! read more

These guys are incredible. I've moved a number of times and this was the first time that I decided to hire movers, based on a recommendation from a friend who had recently used Jim's Moving. I will never not hire movers again, and Jim's Moving would be my first call. If you are even thinking about renting a truck and calling your buddies to help you move, just don't. The 2 movers that we got were incredibly efficient and got all of our furniture and boxes loaded in to one truck, when I would have needed to do 2 or 3 trucks loads if I'd done it on my own. They knew all the tricks for moving big and heavy pieces of furniture, and protecting fragile pieces. Very impressive. Friendly, professional, efficient, cost effective... A+++ read more

We have used Jim's twice now and I was BEYOND impressed with their service. The staff was prompt, polite and professional. Meredith runs a tight ship and helped take something I absolutely hate (moving) and made it easy. This was the first company I have ever used that I was able to move without feeling stressed out. All of our items were cared for, lifted and never dragged. I hate moving, but look forward to calling on the team to help with our moves in the future. Not only is the service amazing, the prices are reasonable, the quotes are spot on and the staff are a bunch of chill people you would love to just hang out and have a beer with. If you need to move, Call Jims!!! read more

I moved from Burnaby to Langley last November. We kept thinking that maybe we could move the house ourselves and make several trips. After careful thinking I decided to call Jim's Moving - why make a move harder than it has to be? Jim's moving showed up at 845 moving day ready to work. They realized we had a lot of things and suggested that we rent a second truck and they would load it. What a great idea! There was 3 guys, all in very good shape and all worked very hard. We couldn't believe how well the move went. I would recommend this moving company to anyone. Very professional and personable working professionals. We would used Jim's Moving again. read more
