   Kamloops to Toronto

   We had a great experience with the movers when leaving our home. Our furniture is currently in storage. However, no damage to the home during the first part of the move. They managed to take everything despite us being over the initial quote for lbs. They were professional, punctual and knowledgeable.

   Déménagement du Québec à Colombie Britannique Canada

   Nous avons eu affaire avec des gens très intentionnés. Le tout s'est fait dans les délais, avec le respect des nos critères et avec beaucoup de soins de nos meubles. Tout l'équipe était à l'écoute de nos besoins. Le chauffeur était très ponctuel et très habile pour conduire sa remorque. Tout c'est fait selon l'entente initiale.

   Our experience with Arsh and his team was excellent. They were prompt, efficient, and professional in packing, transporting, and unloading precious family heirlooms including a dining room set, buffet, china cabinet, china, and many boxes of books.

   I was genuinely impressed by how efficient and professional they were. Candace was fantastic at getting the whole process started and any questions I had were very quickly answered. All my items arrived safe and on time. The pickup and delivery team were super professional and quick. I would recommend this company to anyone. I don't have a single negative thing to say.

   Alberta to Ontario

   I usually ignore 5 star reviews when looking for services because they’re usually over exaggerated, but I promise this one is warranted. Firstly, a huge thank you to Candace for her patience and support while I got my moving details figured out. She was very responsive and helpful, and gave me a very reasonable quote. Upon pick up in Alberta, my driver and his team (Ruben I think?) were great! They came when they said they would, and even let me sit in my car while they loaded since it was a cold Feb. day. He was very thorough and explained exactly what they were doing and how the process worked. Got everything loaded in about 1.5hrs. Delivery in Ontario was much smoother than I expected. Arsh and his team took extra good care of my sofa (which I love very much), got the move done in about 1.5hrs and even helped reassemble my bed frame, sofa, and TV. GCVL also organized the transportation for my vehicle which arrived much sooner than I expected! It was easy and hassle free. Overall my move came just under $6000 which was absolutely worth it.

   Amazing!

   From the initial phone call with Candace to unloading our stuff at our new home, GCVL was professional, polite, friendly, and very clear on how everything would work regarding moving to another province. The estimate was accurate. Jas and Tim came over to load up our belongings. They were both punctual, polite, and very professional. They both didn't make a big fuss about our German Shepherd trying to constantly play with them, quite the opposite . Jas and Tim loaded everything with no issues. Everything was tagged and put into an inventory. Jas got all our stuff to destination safe, secure, with zero damage. We arrived later than the moving van due to highway conditions, but Jas was very accommodating and took care of everything for us. Thank you Candace, Jas, Tim, Jas's partner on the unloading side, and thank you GCVL. 100 % will use them again for any big moves and highly advide anyone who is doing a big move to give them a call. Thank you from Riko, Miki, Ham, and Apollo.

   My Move

   Eddie and his courteous team did an excellent and efficient job getting my move loaded in the lower mainland of BC. They carefully wrapped all my furniture and handled the boxes noting those that were marked as fragile. When they arrived Eddie and his London crew were just as friendly and efficient in bringing my goods into my new residence. They placed all of my furniture and belongings in the rooms as marked, assembled the furniture that was taken apart for the trip and left clearing up and materials that were needed for the move. I am very happy with the job they did. I found no damages to my goods that were handled in my move. I recommend Great Canadian Van Lines. As a note: this is the 1st time out of 4 cross country moves that my weight was less than the estimate! This speaks to the integrity of the company.

   Impeccable move

   Thank you Great Canadian Van Lines for a smooth and stress free moving experience from Quebec to Alberta. Both my coordinating agent and my truck driver were great to work with; communication was seamless with both being very responsive to all my questions. My personal effects were meticulously inventoried and the pickup, transport, and delivery was all handled with care by the same truck driver, Amar, with delivery two days ahead of schedule. I was very pleased with how the move went and recommend this moving company to anyone considering a cross country move.

   Moved part of an estate from Chilliwack and Winnipeg to Ontario

   My daughter selected the company and received the initial quote. She handed over the move to me at that point. Everything from my first contact with Candace, second pick-up in Winnipeg, final invoice, to the delivery to our home went very well. I was totally impressed with how well organized the company was. They provided so much helpful information by email, telephone and short well made videos. The online method for recording the items we were shipping was well organized and user friendly. Communication was always polite, cheerful and timely. Questions were answered quickly. Our items, many that were fragile, were very well protected and delivered without damage. Our driver, Harry, and his assistant were very efficient and friendly. They were patient and helpful when we requested that a few pieces of furniture be re-arranged. Overall, we were extremely happy with the entire process. And the final price was less than our initial quote! Honest and upstanding service!
