Tips for a smooth move
- Move Planning Tip: For Victoria moves, share ferry timing preferences, building access (stairs/elevators), and parking/loading notes early. Good move planning improves accuracy and reduces surprises on moving day.
- The Ferry Factor: Moving to/from the Mainland? The ferry cost (charged by length) is usually added to your quote. Ensure your mover books the reservation to avoid sailing waits and protect your timeline.
- The 'Malahat' Drive: If moving up-island (Duncan/Nanaimo), morning traffic on the Malahat can be brutal. Schedule mid-day to reduce delays and travel billing.
- Oak Bay & Downtown Access: Narrow driveways and strict truck parking rules are common. Mention 'street parking only' so movers can bring the right shuttle vehicle and keep the moving experience smooth.
- Packing and Unpacking Services: If you want expert packing (kitchens, fragile items, artwork, or offices), request packing and unpacking services early so supplies, labels, and time are included in the plan.
- Storage Options: If possession dates don’t line up, ask about short term storage or long term storage. Climate controlled storage is ideal for wood furniture, electronics, and sensitive items—extra peace of mind on the Island.
