Emergency Moving FAQs
Questions About Your Emergency Move
Can you move me the same day I call?
Often yes. Call 604-987-8655 immediately and tell us your situation and timeline. We check crew availability and either confirm same-day moving or give you next-day options. Most emergency moves happen within 24 hours of the call.
How much does emergency moving cost?
Cost depends on what you're moving, where you're going, and how quickly you need it done. We give you a quick phone quote so you know exactly what it costs. No surprise bills. Call 604-987-8655 for immediate pricing.
What if I don't have packing supplies or time to pack?
We provide basic boxes and materials. You can pack as we load or we can pack for you if you need full-service packing. We work with what you have. No time to wrap furniture? We have blankets. Need boxes? We have them.
Do you offer storage for emergency situations?
Yes. If you need temporary storage while you figure out your next place, climate-controlled storage is available short-term. Day-to-day or week-to-week options work for emergency situations.
What if I'm not sure exactly what's moving?
Tell us approximately what you have -- "a studio apartment" or "two-bedroom house." We size the truck appropriately. If you end up with less, that's great. If you have more, we make it work. We're flexible on emergency moves.
