They were customer focused, accommodated our date change, were very courteous and friendly. The movers worked quickly and were very careful with our furniture - using special wrap to keep things safe. I dislike moving, but Metro Van Movers made the day easy and actually fun. My husband and I both highly recommend this service.

This is an excellent way to reduce waste and ensure your items arrive at your new home safely. You will need to pay a cash deposit up front of $15 per box, to be returned once they collect the boxes. This was great and I wish more companies offered it. We had three packers for three hours the first day which was speedy and efficient. Both days they arrived early which I really appreciated. The second day we had three movers, however they moved a bit slower than I would have liked. One of three of the workers stayed in the truck the entire time and did not rotate with the other workers, who started showing signs of fatigue after several hours (understandable). I understand getting tired, but towards the end of their work my instructions were not followed and boxes were placed haphazardly on our first and second floor rather than where I asked them to be. It took them almost two hours to get from our old to our new place, during which time they mentioned stopping for food and water (but I was charged the full time). I want these guys to get a break and asked if they would get one, but never got a clear answer, and I think I paid for all the time anyways. All and all, we enjoyed using this service and would recommend it for anyone tackling a big move in Vancouver. They could work a little faster, but all of my items arrived safely which was my primary concern.

I hired these company based on a personal recommendation. One of the movers was great, and of the…read moremovers was unusually careless all day and dragged the upholstered side of my couch through some grass and forcefully threw boxes around, breaking some of my belongings. This resulted in, among other things, breaking a full-frame Sony camera body (approximately $1000 replacement cost). The other mover seemed a bit apologetic for the guy, but that doesn't fix my broken camera or any other damage that was done by the careless mover. I had everything fragile wrapped in padding, but a violent enough blow will damage anything, and one of the movers was throwing stuff around pretty violently. I've moved around a lot and have occasionally had things broken on international or cross-country moves where your possessions are handled by a lot of people and tossed onto some truck and you'll find that there's a foot deep puncture in one of the boxes, but I've never had this kind of damage from a local move. I would've been surprised to see this kind of damage from such a short move if I hadn't seen how one of the movers was treating my items. Dragging the cloth side of the couch across the grass was the most egregious looking thing, but in terms of replacement cost, throwing boxes around turned out to be the worse problem. Their advertising copy reads "Our experience with moving unique, costly and fragile furniture mreans that you can trust us with your belongings. Expensive and heavy items will be handled with special care". If that's special care, I'd hate to see what it looks like when they don't take special care.

I requested an available time 3 weeks prior to my new property acquired, an available time slot was given, dispatch called me 24 hours prior to my move. On moving day, the crew had contacted me 30 minutes prior to arrival; they arrived and I had requested some wrapping for my goods, they had let me know we offer blanket wrapping for free and protection wrapping for any items needed. The crew are hard workers, a grand piano they made it look easy to move. After our pickup they had let me know that my goods will be heading to Toronto and when it would arrive, I appreciate the easy communication with dispatch. Dispatch notified me for the delivery date, crew had showed up and delivered my goods. Thank you for amazing service and professionalism. If we decide to move again you will hear back from us.

Booked with Homeland after a video call estimate with Fahim. Seemed professional, price was agreed,…read morewe moved forward. Then on moving day the price magically went up. Classic bait and switch. The video estimate was completely useless -- either Fahim has no idea what he's doing or it's a deliberate tactic to lowball you, get you committed, then squeeze you when you're most vulnerable (moving day, when you can't exactly say no). Do yourself a favour and use literally any other company for your cross-border move. There are plenty of legitimate movers on this route who give honest estimates and stick to them. Homeland isn't one of them.

I had provided an address of the…read moredestination of the move however a week before I had chosen another address and informed the general manager of this. On the day of the move an emergency had arose and one of their regular guy couldn't make it so we had to with another guy. Between having the regular mover explaining how to move things and his lazy pace the entire move for a single condo cost me more than $700 when it should have costed me about $500. Max. On top of that he charge me another 1.5% due to that they didn't know of the new location until the day of the move! The general manager obviously didn't update them and I had to pay as a result. I was upset for the service and lack of professionalism. The temp guy should have known that he was paid by hour and shouldn't be on his mobile while he was walking back and forth to the truck, very slowly. I moved before and used 2 younger guys in their 20's and the entire move was twice the distance and took less than 2 Hrs. These guys are close to 50s. You be the judge. I emailed the general manager and explained to him that I was disappointed because service was great from the beginning. Charging that amount for a small move and within about 20 blocks is ridiculous. Well I never received an apology nor a response. I guess they could careless after they walked of off with the cash. I wouldn't recommend them to anyone.

I tried Left Coast Movers on the recommendation of my sister who had recently used them and had a…read moregreat experience. I'm an easy customer - very willing to see the best in any service provider - however there were a couple of things that really bothered me about the service we experienced. First things first, the two guys who showed up were perfectly nice. They showed up on time and didn't bat an eye when our flat was still rather chaotic on the morning of the move. So that was good. However, I was slightly horrified that they didn't bother to wrap our furniture in moving blankets before loading the pieces onto handcarts. I watched as piece after piece of fragile, expensive furniture was carted away unwrapped including a coffee table we had shipped from the UK and a teak sideboard that was our wedding gift. Both my husband and I were too nice to say anything to the movers but in retrospect, we should have especially since it was raining outside and pieces got wet. We would have wrapped key pieces ourselves had we known they wouldn't be wrapped by the movers. We underestimated the time needed for the move - our fault - and asked if the movers could stick around another hour. They agreed. However, it turned out that they had been promised a last-minute job if they could get across town by a certain (unrealistic) time. As a result, they were rushing so quickly that they broke several plastic boxes that they stacked together. Since they were in such a rush to leave, we paid them with a pretty generous tip and said our good-byes. Unfortunately, it was after they left that we realized these boxes had been broken. I know that they use different teams to move so this review really is only for the team we had. That said, as a small business owner myself, I wouldn't be very happy if customers were experiencing subpar service under my branding.

They also strove hard to gain our business even giving us an awesome rate. In the end the move took longer than thought and they had more people come out, but maybe we moved more stuff too. Everything was handled very smoothly, and they take credit debit and e-transfer which is awesome. They also packed for us the day before which helped tremendously.

These two guys had my stuff strewn between my door and the elevator - 50 feet away. I expressed my concern and their excuse was "We haven't had anything stolen before". Unbelievably amateur. I should have known how much these guys were clowns by them parking right in front of the hydrant to start. If I wasn't stuck for time, I would have canned them both within half an hour. I gave them the address and told them "End of the Block" three times and these numbskulls park in the middle of the block after disappearing for 45 minutes...with no good reason. So maybe they were smoking something else. I don't know who is giving all these 5 star reviews but the people I got were 4 star screwups.
