Most efficient move we have ever done, with a great bunch of fun, trustworthy, hardworking fellas -- triple thumbs up to Mark and his crew, and bonus points all the way, if it will help convince the next person why these guys truly ROCK. Considering just a year and a half ago, we had encountered the worst movers (do NOT use Eurostar Moving and Storage!) who not only damaged our car in an accident in transit and tried to scam us on fees and such, we were skeptical about movers in general. But Left Coast Movers left us pleasantly surprised all the way! We were dreading having to move again, but our experience with Left Coast Movers was like a breath of fresh air we didn't expect. They have most certainly helped to redeem the "bad rep" movers in general have. Not only did Mark and his Left Coast Movers team show up as scheduled (with a few minutes to spare early), they came prepared to work hard, and hustled their butts (did not "take their sweet time" in order to stretch the hours). They made the move such a breeze, and it took a lot less time than expected too. We were charged fairly and squarely -- HONEST men, unlike a lot of crooked movers out there! We were moving to a condo with strict moving laws, and kudos to Mark and his two other guys for taking great care not to damage anything in the process that might cause us to get a fine from the strata. We could see they were careful in loading and unloading, and not simply "dumping stuff". All our boxes were neatly and carefully placed as we had instructed. Cannot say enough good things about these guys! Professional, punctual, efficient, hardworking, exercise a hearty dose of common sense, have a good sense of humor despite having to labor hard, and they charged decent fees too -- while their prices are good, what makes them the BEST DEAL out there is the whole EXCELLENT package. 5-stars all the way! Thanks so much for a job well done, Mark and your team at Left Coast Movers! read more

Awesome movers! Having used a number of movers in the past, with varying levels of success, we were pleasantly surprised by how great our experience was with Left Coast Movers. We moved from East Van to Victoria a couple of weeks ago, and after consulting with Mark at LCM, he recommended that we rent a truck ourselves, get their help on the Vancouver side and some other help on the Victoria side. He recommended various places to get a truck after Uhaul was not an option, and he helped with finding movers on the Victoria side. This all saved us money. The Left Coast Movers crew of three showed up to move our 3 bedroom place on time, and after a quick walk-through started in to moving boxes out to our truck. The place was not ready, and like normal we were frantically packing boxes and organizing... didn't phase the guys at all. They were friendly, professional, and calming during what is normally a stressful time. I think the "not phasing" these guys shows their professionalism very well... Once our house was packed into the truck, we got their help to load odd-and-ends from the workshop as well as some large planter boxes that were on our deck. They really went above and beyond, when they jumped in and helped shuttle buckets of soil from the planters to the back corner of the garden so that they could be lifted! All in, best movers we've had. I wish I could have said the same for the company we ended up hiring on the Victoria side... sigh read more

We were having trouble with the movers that we had originally hired and called Left Coast Movers about 5 days before our scheduled move and they were able to fit us in. I talked to Collin on the phone and he gave us an estimate ($100/hour + travel fees + tax) and after a verbal confirmation, he also sent me a confirmation email as well. The movers came exactly at 9AM the scheduled time and after coming in to assess our belongings, started working right away. Some highlights: 1. The area that we were moving to was still covered in snow and slush when we got there, and the walk to the apartment was not shoveled at all. I found a shovel in the laundry room and one of the movers shoveled the snow away so that they could safely unload all of our stuff 2. They used rubber carpet runners and were careful not to get all the snow and slush onto our carpets 3. After they were done bringing everything in, they were worried that some plates had broken in one of the boxes and asked us to open it so they could take a picture and compensate us if it was broken. We moved from a one bedroom apartment in Vancouver to one in Burnaby and the move took less than 3 hours with 2 men. Will definitely use them again in the future! read more

Had never used a moving company before, so I was somewhat worried about how the whole process would go. Mark intially said he thought the job would take 3-4 hours (1br, 740 sqft). Alan and David were there about 10 minutes before 9, and ready to go. Everything got packed in quite nicely and we were going at a good pace. My girlfriend and I had used BungoBoxes which made the initial loading a lot easier, I think. I helped with loading the truck as much as I could and we were finished loading at just after 11am. I was quite pleased/surprised at how well Alan and David had planned the initial loading of the van and packing everything in. Lots of blankets used to protect furniture and keep stuff steady. Got to the new place and started unloading. Couch didn't end up fitting in the elevator (too long), so they brought it up the stairs to the fourth floor without complaint. Got everything else unloaded and into the apartment just before 2pm. Whole process was 5 hours, but a some of the "extra" time was due to the couch. All told, it was a good experience. Mark/Alan/David were all really nice and professional. Would recommend. read more

These guys were great! After a friend get scammed by a moving company recently (ugh) and reading terrible reviews of several companies, I was really uncertain about booking *any* movers. I booked Left Coast Movers on a recommendation from a friend and was SO impressed. Although the move took quite a bit less than the 3 hour minimum (I was moving within the same building so it went fairly quickly but I needed help with many very heavy items...), it was worth every penny. The movers worked really quickly and efficiently - and, once they were finished moving the bigger items, they helped move smaller items like framed artwork, odds & ends (because I was moving within the same building, I left more items 'unpacked' than I would've otherwise in a move and they were great about helping to move all of it, offered to help break down extra boxes I hadn't ended up using, etc.!) The final price was also exactly what I was quoted. After all of the horror stories I've heard about moving companies, I can't recommend these guys highly enough! read more

Let's face it, moving just plain sucks. It's a hassle, it's hard, it seems to take forever. So why not take some of the difficulty out of the equation and hire some help with the heavy lifting?? I highly recommend Left Coast Movers. I have used their services twice now & have not been disappointed. You get two guys and they provide the moving truck (which is great if you're someone like me who never has the easiest time driving big vehicles into smaller spaces). Both the gentlemen I had worked hard, were polite, and it was all done quite quickly. We moved my one bedroom apartment from Langley to White Rock in approx 3 hours, including the travel time. And I heard no complaints upon discovering that the elevator wasn't reserved for us either! In terms of cost, I found the rates to be reasonable and fair, and I have never thunk twice about spending it. You can pay with your debit/credit on site in your new home! Worth every penny. Hire these guys! You won't regret it. Thanks again folks! read more

I had used Van City moving for my last 3 moves. I had chosen them because of bad experience with hourly movers in the past. Paying a bit extra for the peace of mind of not having to hurry up slow movers was worth it to me. But... this time David quoted me 1100 dollars to move my 1 bedroom apartment. That is insane!! I looked on Yelp and saw Left Coast was getting great reviews so I called them up. I spoke to George who came by my place and saw what stuff I had. I told him my budget was 600 and he said no problem. On the day, Colin and Travis showed up exactly on time. They were super cheerful and professional and got right to work. They finished the job in 4.5 hours Not a thing broken and even helped me arrange some furnishings in my bedroom. 4.5 hours plus 30 min travel time kept the total price under 500. I tipped the guys well and felt good about making a connection with a new company that I will definitely use again and I stuck to my budget. Use them!! These guys are great!! read more

I've used Left Coast Movers for my last 4 moves. Most notably for me, I find that Mark and his team put me at ease. I hate moving and tend to feel overwhelmed and overly stressed leading up to and including moving day. When Left Coast arrives, that tension goes away. They arrive on time and quickly get down to business. They work well together and the moving goes quickly. They go above and beyond throughout, helping with other little tasks that come up. They'll help you carry things to your car. They'll take extra steps to make sure that the new place is ready for unpacking. They're quick to grab a screwdriver if something requires a quick adjustment. I think it's these little extras that compel so many happy customers to give them great reviews on Yelp. I hope I don't have to move anytime soon, but when it inevitably happens, I'll use Left Coast again and again. read more

We just moved from Vancouver to Nanaimo and were VERY HAPPY with Mark and his staff. In order to meet the ferry schedule Mark brought 3 staff members to load In Vancouver and they wrapped many of our pieces of furniture before loading them. They arrived on time and would not have had to be lucky to catch the ferry they (and we) had booked if the elevator in our old building had worked properly. Eric and Jason did a great job of unloading in Nanaimo. Our load was slightly larger than they had planned for but Mark (the problem solver extraordinaire) produced a small trailer almost instantly to solve the problem. We were referred to Mark by Act together Moving (who did an excellent job of packing all of our belongings and treasurers) and their collaboration was excellent. We have moved numerous times over the last 50 years and this was BY FAR the best one! read more

Amazing Service- Showed up on time, extremely efficient and careful with our stuff. We booked them online and promptly received an email from them requesting a list of furniture to ensure they brought the right truck. 2 days before the move I received a call from Mark to confirm the move. They charge for one hour travel time and had 3 guys for $120/ hour. I think the minimum is 3 hours but can't remember. These guys work hard and they are cognizant of time, we offered lunch break and they said it wouldn't be "fair" to charge us for the time. They are professional and considerate. We have used plenty of different movers and left coast has been the best. They were well prepared with blankets, extra wardrobe boxes, plastic wrap and tape. Really great guys to work with. They made moving day way less stressful. read more

I write a some one who had previously been left stranded by a moving company on moving day on the last day of the month. I chose Left Coast movers on the basis of the positive reviews. The first mover I called was busy on the two days I could move, so I moved on. My experience with Left Coast Movers was about as stressless as moving can possibly be. Mark called two days before moving day to confirm the time and day. These guys were very efficient and careful. We had packed everything ourselves, so they just had to move the boxes and furniture into and out of the truck. Including their travel time, everything took 5 hours and 15 minutes, and Mark just charged for 5 hrs. We have since unpacked everything, and nothing was broken. I will have no hesitation in using Left Coast Movers again. read more

We recently completed a move from a 3 level townhouse to a house and i could not be more impressed with Left Coast Movers. On 6 days notice, Mark arranged a near perfect move for our family. The movers, Ken and Steve arrived on time and immediatley got started, and never stopped until the move was finished. Their "lunch break" consisted of eating half a sandwich while walking back to the truck for another load. The attention to detail was great and in a mere 4.5 hours, they shrink wrapped all of our furniture, lowered a sofa off a 3 story balcony, and completed the entire move. We are almost finished unpacking and we have not noticed one scratch, dent or even a broken glass. I highly reccomend Left Coast Movers! read more

Thank you Mark and his partner ( sorry I forgot to get his name!) for a smooth transition. It's been a chaotic week and our last movers cancelled on us twice so we were so stressed out but this company made everything so easy for us! I couldn't be happier with their service. I highly recommend them! Ps. If you ever consider hiring people who work as moving company as their side job, they don't work if it rains. Just to let you know... The price might be very reasonable but if they cancel on you one hour before they supposed to come, you will regret your poor decision (-_-) Esp. When you took a day off from work and paid& booked an elevator at your condo... You learn a lesson in hard way. read more

My partner and I moved to Vancouver from Edmonton last year and have used these guys a few times. Once, when we first moved to unload our massive uhaul into storage (yes, we are that lazy); then, to move into a new house; then, to another one. The fact that we've used them so often speaks to how amazing they are - punctual, reliable, super fast, efficient, well priced, and careful with our stuff. I know that sometimes stuff gets damaged during moves, but these guys managed to avoid that by bringing ample blankets and other material to protect our belongings. Mark and his crew are definitely the folks we'll continue going to whenever we move in the future! read more

We moved from our apartment to a townhouse approximately 2 kms. away. They called a half hour before they were to arrive to let me know that they would be 15 minutes late, which I totally didn't mind as I was running around trying to get all the last minute things done. These guys were professional, friendly and very good. the move, all in all, took about 5 hours and they busted their humps from beginning to end and never ceased to be cheerful and helpful. They even had another move to go to after ours, I don't know how these guys keep going! The cost was more than fair and we will definitely use them again and recommend them without hesitation. read more

I am so glad I can rave about these guys to others. Mark was completely professional, helpful, calm and efficient from the first moment we talked (my shipment was coming some distance and so we had to coordinate delivery times over several days), through all the subsequent conversations and right up until the day he showed up, on time and with an excellent and extremely careful partner. They couldn't have been more careful with my stuff, or more pleasant to work with. It was fantastic to finish a stressful move with them, as it redeemed the whole experience for me. I urge anyone considering a move to call these guys first. THANK YOU! read more

We just moved from Coquitlam to Kelowna and these guys were terrific. The movers worked so hard and got the job done really fast. They were very respectful of our furniture and both homes we left and moved into. Nothing was damage or lost. Mark was great at organizing us and Collin did a great job of leading on move day. The young movers who helped on the Kelowna end were lovely young men, very nice to talk with and were very gracious to our annoying dog. All in all this move went very smoothly and I'm beyond thankful and impressed. I was recommended these guys from my mom and I would recommend them to anyone. Thanks guys! read more

I had never used movers before, but being December and no one wants to give up Christmas parties to help you move, I hired these guys. They were fantastic! Ken and Ryan were friendly, humorous, hard-working, very courteous, and just all around great guys. They were so careful about not damaging furniture, or the paint on the walls and laminate flooring in my new place. Ken would hold up furniture so I could place feltac on the bottom, and helped me decide where to place my bed in the second bedroom and assembled the bed. They sure made moving a lot easier than it should be. A plus rating from me and my husband! read more

Left Coast was fantastic! All of their excellent reviews are well deserved. Colin had a lot of experience, and was very efficient and organized. Even a couple curveballs during the day were handled no problem. Everything went so smoothly my wife and I didn't know what to do, we just tried to help where we could and stay out of their way. They showed up right on time and were very quick, and were very careful with our belongings. Very nice and friendly people as well. All charges were exactly as explained beforehand; there were no surprise charges or fees. We were both very happy. read more
