Great Canadian Van Lines

Just moved from Bracebridge Ontario to Vancouver BC and Great Canadian Van Lines was truly great.
They use full-time staff like Daniel with many years of experience, rather than part-time contractors. Daniel was attentive to detail and made sure that all my furniture was properly wrapped and carefully handled.
This was the most professional long distance move that I have ever experienced and would highly recommend this company.

I hired GCVL for a long distance move from Vancouver to Toronto and they were fantastic from start to finish. There are so many shady moving companies out there that it was frustrating to get quotes with so many places but GCVL provided me with a detailed, accurate quote from the start and what I paid was exactly as outlined. The day of the move the movers were on time, professional and very thorough. They dealt with a potential catastrophe (freight elevator not working, all my furniture having to go either down a very very narrow flight of stairs or in passenger elevator) with confidence and put me and my building manager at ease. All of my goods arrived when expected and were treated with absolute care. No surprises and nothing missing or damaged in any way. Everyone I dealt with at this company was professional, honest and helpful. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone for a long distance move. Anyone with a van can call themselves a mover but it is worth it to pay for professionals and GCVL was absolutely professional.

I had nothing but great things to say about this company. Great customer service and quality movers. Although, our move was only a few KMS from our old home everything went very smoothly. We had some large appliances that are used in home based business and they moved them very professionally and with upmost care. Great experience with this company and would use them again and have already recommended them to friends.

Communication with customers is definitely not this company's strong point. This company was very responsive and competitive when I was investigating quotes for shipping 1000 lbs from Toronto to Edmonton. As soon as they took the deposit, the communication ceased and I had to track everything down. I wasn't informed of the shipment pick up until I emailed them. It was very challenging to get them to even estimate a three day delivery time, which wasn't met. On the final day of my estimated time, I was told the shipment would be at least another week. Once I tracked down the apparent driver he was not helpful although finally did manage to perhaps commit to a scheduled time. I will know more when it arrives. I have emailed my contact a number of times, and the response rate is dismal.

Bill (a subcontractor) and his crew in Toronto took extreme care in wrapping all of our furniture and took the same care in moving our boxes (which I had packed) onto the truck. They were friendly and helpful. Everything was treated with respect. Our goods arrived in Victoria in a very timely manner and it was the same at this end - the two men unloading and unwrapping treated our belongings like they were their own. I think it depends on the driver/owner of the truck but we certainly were impressed with Bill and both of his crews. Thank you!!

We moved with Great Canadian Van Lines this summer and the move was amazing! I'm not one to go on these type of sites to write a review (it usually is the people who complain) but with the exceptional service we received we had to thank Great Canadian. Thank you to everyone involved in our move from our driver Bill to the office staff at Great Canadian that kept us informed. We will recommend Great Canadian Van Lines to all our friends and family. Thanks again!

We had household goods moved by GCVL from a storage locker in Waterloo Ontario to a storage locker in Vernon B.C. We were highly satisfied with the service from start to finish. GCVL staff person, Rick was always prompt and professional in his communications with me. He worked diligently to get us a date for moving our goods as August was peak period. Actual cost of moving was even lower than the estimate. Very reasonable, did not break the budget. Easy to understand quote and pricing, straightforward. Our driver, Amar was excellent. Very competent guy who inspired a sense of confidence and trust that he would get the job done right. We were fortunate that he picked up our goods in Ontario and off loaded them in B.C. too. He kept in contact so we knew when he was scheduled to arrive and gave us weight and cost of shipping within hours of loading. Amar managed to make it all work in the end from not initially being able to get in touch with us when we were out of cell range to getting the truck into a tight storage driveway and getting the goods into the storage unit. We would highly recommend GCVL and would use them again in future.
