Frequently Asked Questions
Q. How long does the move take?
Most Burnaby to Victoria moves are completed in a single day. Depending on the size of your move, we typically load in the morning, catch an early ferry, and unload at your Victoria home by the afternoon.
Q. Do you handle the ferry booking?
Yes, we book and manage the BC Ferries reservation for our moving truck. Commercial vehicle reservations are required on this busy route. We reserve your spot as soon as you confirm your moving date.
Q. What if the ferry is cancelled due to weather?
Ferry cancellations are rare but can occur during severe winter storms. If this happens, we communicate immediately and reschedule for the next available sailing. We never take risks with your belongings in unsafe conditions.
