Six Things That We Guarantee, To Make Your Move Great:
1. Quick and easy phone estimates. Our employees meet a high standard of customer service professionalism. We have well experienced staff to answer any questions you may have, and give you an estimate of your moving costs.
2. For some long distance moves, an in person estimate done by the actual professionals who will load your personal property. We are an owner operated company. We do the moving ourselves with our crew, and have a personal stake in getting the job done with 100% customer satisfaction. Owner and Operator Jake Polzin has been moving homes since 1997, and when it comes to moving your treasured items long distance, you will see Jake when you book your move, when he loads your move, and when he delivers to your new destination.
3. Guaranteed upfront rates, no hidden charges. Local moving is charged by the hour. It is the time it takes to complete your job, and is based on two, three, or four man crews. (See below for time savings tips.) Travel time covers the costs of fuel and insurance so you are not paying separate and difficult to calculate surcharges (that not all other companies disclose to you ahead of time). **Long distance moving is based on distance and size of truck used, or sometimes by weight. Please call our office for more information.
4. We shrink wrap anything with doors and drawers, wood furniture, etc. Don’t be fooled by other companies that advertise free shrink wrapping, because that way they don’t have to use very much of it, or not at all. We guarantee you get what you pay for with us, and we don’t scrimp on supplies. We have whatever materials you need to ensure the job is done with the utmost care and professionalism, to protect your items in our moving truck, if you are just moving down the street, across town, or across the country.
5. Fast and efficient. We don’t take breaks every half hour. Our long term employees are hard working and they are there to get the job done. But with over one hundred heavy duty moving blankets at our disposal, we make sure getting the job done fast still means carefully.
6. Storage. We have our own storage facility in Kelowna, BC. We do not out source to third parties for your storage needs. Temporary storage is in a locked security compound, your items are NOT left in a truck on the street overnight. We also have long term storage.

3. Have your items organized, for example: all your boxes in one place
4. Have the elevator service keys with pads up (if applicable)
5. Have items disassembled, for example bed frames and dressers with mirrors
6. Take doors off hinges
7. Have all vehicles cleared away from parking area
Save Money by Choosing the Right Mover!
When people shop for items the most common factor that they use to decide on the product or service is the price. The problem with using price as your main factor in choosing a Long Distance Moving Company is that the price you are quoted is not always the price that you pay because of many factors that affect the price.
Even when getting two quotes which seem to be based on the exact same parameters, i.e. same weight of the goods, you might in fact not be getting a better price. The reason being is that all professional reputable moving companies stand behind the service that they offer and if you choose a rogue mover your upfront costs might appear to be less but by the end of the move, you will most likely be paying much more.
If the company you choose is a rogue mover, there is a good chance that your goods might be lost, stolen and/or damaged. They might also increase your costs after they load your goods and hold your goods ransom until you pay them their demanded amount.
The chance of your goods being lost, stolen or damaged is much higher when dealing with rogue movers because they don’t have a reliable network of movers across North America that they use when loading and offloading your goods or if you require to warehouse the items. They will use casual non professional movers who they don’t know or have any control over. Your goods might be brokered off to anyone who gives them the cheapest price. Remember that if you ship 100 boxes and only 90 arrive there is cost to replace those 10 boxes that you need to factor in the overall price of your relocation expenses. Many of these companies might have insurance certificates that they will show you and advise you that they have coverage in case of this type of circumstance but having an insurance certificate does not mean that they will deal with your claim or even phone you back. You cannot file an insurance claim against a movers insurance policy. You can only file a claim with the moving company. They will promise you over the phone and in writing that they can handle your move and take care of any unforeseen circumstances but you can almost guarantee that this is not the case.
Before booking your move do a Google Search on the company and see what kind of reviews and feedback that you find on them.
Choosing a long distance moving company is very different than choosing any other service because of the intimate nature of the movers handling your most precious and personal belongings. For example it is not as easy choosing a roofing company in which you can choose the lowest price and pay at the end of the job. You are not entrusting roofers with your precious items that you cherish and dearly value. You hire them to work on your roof and when and if the job is done to your satisfaction you can see the results and pay for the services rendered. When hiring a long distance moving company, you have to pay the amount that the mover demands, prior to receiving your goods, or you do not get your goods. This is why it is so important to choose a reputable company that you can trust to handle your relocation.
