Great Canadian Van Lines

We have used this company 3 times and they have always given us great service! Nice movers and all items have always arrived safely. I will always use Great Canadian Van Lines for all my moves! Very professional!

After storing my household possessions for almost 6 years I decided it was time to get everything into my new place. That meant moving boxes of personal belongings from Richmond to Kamloops and stored items from a warehouse in Toronto to Kamloops. It is a big job and it went smoothly with no damage or mess. What I really valued was I knew when things were arriving and was able to prepare to receive them. Movers were friendly, courteous, fast and efficient. I would have no hesitation in recommending them.

We have used Great Canadian Van Lines twice for our moves. Everyone involved in our moves have been professional and courteous. The drivers and their movers always made sure everything was covered with blankets and rolled our carpets on our stairs and wood floors. I would not hesitate to recommend GCVL to anyone wanting a fantastic moving company!

Booked our move with this company as a returning happy customer. Was told by Rick that our stuff would arrive around the 25th of the month, requestioned him about the dates after receiving the quote, was reassured of the dates, after our stuff left we were told it would not arrive until the end of the month. Rick denied having any of these conversations with me, and have yet to resolve the matter.

It’s been two months since my move from Mississauga to Calgary and Great Canadian Van Lines made it worry and stress-free. From my first contact with Veronica and Chris at Bronte Movers in Oakville (brokers for Great Cdn Van Lines) to Rod and Lana at the Vancouver dispatch, to the driver Dan and his helper Craig, the customer service was top notch. The team that picked up at my place in Mississauga did an amazing job. I was so impressed with how well everything was blanket wrapped, taped up and secure. Even my bicycle was wrapped. On the Calgary end the driver Dan was terrific. He called ahead and kept me up-to-date. On delivery, Dan and Craig were very courteous, friendly and professional. They worked hard and unbelievably got my piano up the flight of stairs! Thank you so much for making my move a smooth one! I highly recommend Great Cdn Van Lines for your move.

In November, 2013 I moved from Ontario to Nova Scotia. Earlier, I obtained a quote for my move of $6000. The actual cost was $18000, 3 times the quote. Great Canadian Van LInes comment was "it was just an estimate". The crew did not use runners and tracked mud all over the carpets I had installed 6 months earlier. The truck was not big enough, so an number of items, including my son's bed, did not come until nearly 2 months later. I had a plastic container with my late husband's original water colour paintings. They dumped them in a cardboard box, put a laundry basket on top of them, charged me for the box and left the plastic box behind. Many of them were damaged and are not replaceable. They did arrive on time, but other than that, everything was a disaster. I put in a complaint to Better Business Bureau but their only comment was that the man who did the estimate was not their employee.

We were very pleased with our move from Ottawa to Victoria. The Great Canadian Van Lines driver, Wade had excellent crews at both locations. Everything was well covered in moving pads and the furniture arrived with no damage. We just finished unpacking all of our boxes and nothing was broken. Thank Wade and his crews for providing excellent on-time service.

I had a great experience with GCVL. I moved my belongings form Calgary to Vancouver and from start to finish I was very impressed. The pricing was very competitive and the service was excellent. I will definitely use GCVL for any future moves and I will recommend them to all my friends and family who are relocating.
