1. Book the Elevator Early
Most condos require service elevator reservations. Do this as soon as you know your date.
2. Know Your Building's Rules
Hours, damage deposits, required insurance — get the rules in writing and share with your movers.
3. Measure Everything
Doorways, hallways, elevator dimensions. Compare to your largest furniture before moving day.
4. Protect Common Areas
Most buildings require hallway and elevator protection. Confirm your movers bring blankets and runners.
5. Reserve Parking
Downtown Vancouver and Metrotown have limited spots. Reserve loading zone access.
6. Declutter First
Less stuff = faster move = lower cost. Go through everything before packing.
7. Disassemble Large Furniture
Bed frames, desks, bookcases — take apart before moving day. Keep hardware in labelled bags.
8. Pack an Essentials Bag
Toiletries, meds, charger, change of clothes, snacks. Keep this with you, not on the truck.
9. Time It Right
Avoid building rush hours. Early morning or midday on weekdays is best.
