I've moved so many times, I can't even begin to count. Every time, I force some reluctant friends to help me lug my junk around. It takes me several days to move all of my crap in a combination of my car, my friends' cars, and rented UHaul trucks.??This year, I decided, would be different. I'm never at home, as I travel quite a bit for work. Spending my only free time lugging crap through the busy streets of Vancouver did not seem appealing. If you've ever tried to drive a truck through Down Town you know what I'm talking about.??I found Galaxy through the excellent reviews on Yelp and decided to give them a go. I booked an afternoon appointment on a Saturday and started boxing up my stuff. ??Galaxy gave me a call about 40 minutes before they were going to arrive and showed up in the afternoon. They took the passenger elevator and commandeered the cargo elevator, even though the desk staff was a bit unhappy. I, however, was quite happy. The last thing I wanted to do was stand around waiting for people to finish when I'm paying an hourly rate. Amazingly, the three guys emptied my entire 8th floor studio apartment in about 20 minutes. I know, I know, I can't believe it either.??After emptying my apartment, they drove the gigantic Galaxy truck (which could've fit my entire apartment 5 times over) down to Granville Island. Unfortunately, my new place was a 2nd floor walk-up. That didn't stop Galaxy. Multiple boxes which I could barely lift off of the ground were moved effortlessly. One guy even managed to strap my kegerator with CO2 bottle onto his back and bring it up the stairs. Amazing. One piece of furniture had to be disassembled, which was done in minutes.??All in all, they finished in about 2 hrs. I happily forked over the money, with a generous tip. They have a 2 hour minimum, but the rate is more than reasonable and they pro-rate anything above 2 hours.??If, no when, I move again, I will be giving Galaxy a call. Keep up the good work!
