  Excellent service! I had a tricky 1-bedroom move out situation where I wasn't able to be present during the packing process, but Limor and the team were still able to accommodate. Through facetime videos and consistently double-checking to ensure everything that needed to go was packed up safely, neatly, and securely it was all done in about 2 hours' time. Can't recommend their services enough and would happily use them again if the need arises.

  I recently enlisted the services of 'Vancouver in the Box' for packing and unpacking during our transition to a smaller apartment, and I am thoroughly impressed by their exceptional service.

Right from the start, the company demonstrated a high level of organization and efficiency by sending an adequate number of personnel, ensuring the job was done promptly and effectively. The move involved its fair share of challenges due to the size reduction of our living space. However, the team approached every hurdle with remarkable alacrity, politeness, and utmost professionalism, making the entire process seem effortless.

One of the aspects I greatly appreciated was their meticulous handling of our belongings. Even our most delicate items were treated with extraordinary care, arriving at our new home in pristine condition. But their service didn't just end with packing and unpacking; they went above and beyond. The team's thoughtful approach during the unpacking phase made all the difference. They worked with us closely, organizing our belongings in a way that prevented any semblance of disorder in our new space.

The icing on the cake was their final gesture of removing all boxes and wardrobes, leaving our new apartment clean, tidy, and ready for us to start our new chapter. Their attention to detail and customer-centric approach truly set them apart.

I can't recommend 'Vancouver in the Box' enough. If you're looking for a reliable, courteous, and professional packing and unpacking service in Vancouver, look no further. They have certainly earned a loyal customer in me.

  I’ve used Limor’s services a few times now, and I’m fully satisfied each and every time. Her team is courteous, professional, and so very efficient. (Packed a 2700-sq feet, 4-person house in 3-4 hours!)  For this most recent move, we also used their unpacking service, and man was I impressed!  The team was very thoughtful in where they put things and asked questions when they thought I may have a preference (since kitchen placement is so personal!). I especially appreciated how they removed all the boxes (from BBX moving), cardboard, and paper and put them in the carport, so the house felt ready to live in when they were done. So amazing!  (BBX Moving came and removed ALL the boxes and cardboard and trash the next day).

Limor herself is always responsive, patient, and extremely pleasant to deal with. In the few times that I’ve worked with her, I  always get a sense that she works very hard, takes pride in her work, and has a very strong work ethic.

All in all, I would not hesitate to recommend them. Worth every penny!!

  Vancouver in the Box exceeded all my expectations. They set up a video call right away to give me an initial quote and took the time to do a second video call after I got through decluttering. The Team that showed up at my house was professional, friendly and quick. They took time to walk me through what was done to make sure everything was done to my satisfaction and colour coded my boxes. Great job guys! I highly recommend this company.

  Had them come box up everything before a renovation.  They are very professional, very efficient and courteous; they packed everything perfectly even the oddly shaped items, that I was concerned with.  Fragile stickers where needed and all boxes labeled!

Very thankful to Limor and her staff!!

  Vancouver In The Box gave highly professional, exceptional work from start to finish. Limor and her team are amazing at what they do, and they provide courteous, caring service throughout. They come in with a plan, they hussle, and they get it done right! You won’t go wrong in hiring them.

We began with an on-site consultation where Limor walked through the house, took notes, asked questions about priorities, and provided suggestions on how to proceed. We decided to utilize her team for packing as well as some unpacking services. I am so very glad we did.

It was critically important for us that we minimize the chaos of the move for Dad. He has memory issues that make any change to his environment frustrating and confusing for him. Limor proposed that we split packing across two days and leave the key pieces like Dad’s bedroom and his tv room for the last moment. Also, they photographed Dad’s space and when unpacking they essentially recreated it in our new place so that he immediately felt at home. It was brilliant!

I wish I had taken photos of the boxes they packed so you could see the attention to detail in their work. We did not lose a single piece to breakage, and we had around 200 boxes of goods being moved. Everything was labelled and colour coded. And their art inventory service is such a great idea, I highly recommend taking advantage of that too.

I’m not going to tell you it was cheap because frankly it wasn’t. But let’s get real here: we hired trained professionals to provide a skilled service that supported our move and made our lives so much easier. I can tell you with absolute conviction that it was money very well spent, and we received excellent value for our investment.

How we charge

We believe that a planned move is a smooth move. That's why we offer a precise quote that covers all aspects of the packing process, ensuring a well-organized and hassle-free transition. Rather than an hourly rate, we have a per-box pricing structure in place. This transparent approach is measurable and allows you to know exactly what to expect in terms of costs, providing clarity and peace of mind throughout the packing process.

Boxes and supplies

We arrive fully prepared, bringing along all the necessary supplies: A variety of boxes designed for different purposes, ensuring you have the appropriate packaging for all your belongings. Wardrobes, art boxes, lamp boxes, and plastic bins are some of the boxes we use. All are industry-standard boxes. We never transfer cardboard boxes, packing paper, and mattress covers-we will always bring new supplies.

Unpacking

At your request, we offer the option to unpack all boxes and organize items in their designated spots within your new home.

You need a mover and storage?

Over the course of the last 15 years, we have fostered strong partnerships with various moving and storage companies, enabling us to efficiently coordinate the perfect movers for each individual client. Through these established relationships, we ensure that your specific moving needs are met with precision and professionalism. See our partners pages.

Where are you moving to?

Local move around metro vancouver?

Many of our clients move locally. Locally means within metro Vancouver, meaning no more than an hour drive between Squamish to white rock and Abbotsford to Delta. We often use plastic bins when moving locally and that depends on the client’s request.

Packing for a storage move or renovation?

Each year, approximately 20% of our clients opt to move their belongings to a storage locker. When it comes to packing for storage, special attention is required, and our experienced team excels at handling such items.

Splitting locations? Many clients choose to split their boxes, with some items going to a temporary location where they will reside for a few weeks or months, while the remainder is stored off-site. That can be when you renovate your home or simply because you didn’t find the next home yet.

To ensure efficient organization, our team utilizes color-coded labels on the boxes for different destinations. Moreover, we prioritize boxes that should be easily accessible near the locker door, making retrieval hassle-free. With our meticulous approach, you can trust that your belongings will be expertly packed, whether for temporary accommodation or long-term storage.
