Movers | BC Moving Labor

Rob and Rich were great. Tall, strong and very charming, they did a terrific job and very quickly moved all of our possession into the pod in our driveway. I can see why they’re named Speed Movers. We’ll definitely be booking them to move us back into our house.

We hope they will be assigned to our next arranged job in a few more weeks.

AH Moving arrived on time and ready to work hard. Their team was comprised of 4 guys, Ken, Jeshua, Jimmy and Ken Jr. They wrapped each piece of furniture with moving blankets and then wrapped on top of that with cellophane wrap. They made sure each piece of furniture was carefully tended to so that it did not get damaged during transit. They were courteous and kind. We would use their services again. Thank you so much!

Andrew and his crew were excellent and very patient with our needs. They more than met expectations. Their packing of the the trailer was very efficient. They saved us at least 6 ft. In truck space which was a financial savings. They were about 30 minutes late due to very slow traffic and an accident they encountered on the freeway. I greatly recommend SD247 moving
