Successful moves in British Columbia require planning around local conditions, regulations, and seasonal factors. Follow these tips from our experienced British Columbia moving teams:

Timing and seasonal considerations:

Coastal rainforest climate—plan moves during optimal weather windows when possible. In British Columbia, this typically means avoiding the wettest months (November-February) when possible, though our teams handle rain with proper protection.

Peak moving season runs May through September across British Columbia—book 3-4 weeks ahead during summer months, or 1-2 weeks for fall/winter/spring moves.

Building and access preparation:

• High-rise buildings: Reserve elevator time 2-3 weeks in advance; provide condo board insurance certificates and move-in forms to your building manager
• Parking permits: Many British Columbia cities require loading zone permits for street parking—check with your municipality 1-2 weeks before moving
• Rainy season considerations: Plan for steep driveways and hillside access common in Vancouver and Victoria

Packing and protection:

• Start packing 2-3 weeks before your move date, focusing on non-essentials first
• Use sturdy boxes (purchase or request from Boxly) and label each with room destination
• Wrap fragile items individually; avoid mixing fragile and non-fragile in the same box
• Mountain access challenges means taking extra care with temperature-sensitive items
• Keep essentials (documents, medications, valuables) with you, not on the truck

Day-of-move checklist:

• Clear pathways from rooms to truck for efficient loading
• Protect floors and walls with padding (our teams provide this)
• Have parking arranged and permits visible for Vancouver downtown or urban areas
• Be available for questions about placement, disassembly, and special handling
• Do a final walkthrough before leaving to ensure nothing is forgotten
