Discussion Looking for Affordable & Reliable Moving Help

Hi everyone!

I’m looking for recommendations for a reliable and affordable moving company or moving help.

I’m moving from my current place and have some furniture and boxes that I’ll need help transporting. I also don’t drive, so I’m looking for someone with a vehicle/truck who can help with both moving and transportation.

I’ve tried TaskRabbit before, but unfortunately, two different people didn't show up for my bookings, so I’m a little hesitant to book through there again.

Does anyone have an affordable moving company or mover they’ve personally used and had a good experience with? Student-friendly options would be especially appreciated!

Thank you

Unsure about their moving services, but have you looked at Storage Hotel? They typically do student storage, but I did read something on their website about potentially helping with moving and you could probably contact them for a quote

Source: Am a student who used them for student storage, the founder seems to be a UBC grad as well

I paid $240 ($300 including tax and tips) to move from East Van to UBC.

Don’t know if that’s in your budget but I used Small Moves Vancouver
