Choose BC Moving & Storage
When we arrive, we do a quick reconnaissance to ensure we have the best access to our moving truck. If your building has a dedicated loading zone then we are good to go. However, there are times where we have had to park the moving truck on the street to have the easiest access for loading your items. Our drivers can navigate our big moving trucks into and out of tight spots if necessary.
Next we prioritize your homes items to ensure a safe and efficient loading experience. We take extra care to wrap fragile items using our moving blankets to help prevent unnecessary damage during the residential move. We then move your belongings into the moving truck efficiently and safely, organizing the items as they are loaded and ensuring any and all fragile items are safely secured. We also take care to protect your carpet, floor and walls at all times while we are working.
At your new home, we will again ensure your carpets, floors and walls are protected during the move-in process. We will then unload your possessions from the truck and place them exactly where you have requested. If you decide to change things up during the move-in, our team will be more than happy to move furniture and boxes between rooms in your new home!
If we had to disassemble furniture during the move, we will reassemble it at your new home in the exact location you indicated. Any items that were wrapped in a blanked will be carefully unwrapped, and any garbage or unneeded boxes will be taken away with us to help keep your new home free of clutter and garbage.
It is always a good idea whenever possible to pack small items prior to us arriving. Any packing that you can do before our moving team arrives will reduce your moving costs in the end.
Because BC Moving & Storage is a full-service moving company, we can not only sell you the supplies and packing materials you will need, but we can even do the packing for you!

Moving long distance from Victoria means your belongings need to travel off Vancouver Island before the main journey begins, which adds a logistical step that not every moving company plans for properly. BC Moving & Storage coordinates that full routing through their Great Canadian Van Lines partnership, so the ferry crossing and the mainland leg are handled as part of one seamless move rather than two separate arrangements. You deal with one company from start to finish regardless of where in Canada you’re headed.
BC Moving & Storage handles long distance moves anywhere across Canada through their partnership with Great Canadian Van Lines. That covers moves within BC, province to province, and coast to coast. The local Victoria team coordinates the full journey no matter how far the destination is.
A long distance move includes a free estimate, a full inventory of your goods, wrapping and loading, transportation to your destination, and delivery into the rooms of your choice at the new address. Cargo protection and coverage is included as standard. Packing, furniture disassembly and reassembly, and short or long-term storage are available as additional services if your move requires them.
Full packing is available as part of the long distance service and doesn’t need to be arranged separately. The team wraps furniture in moving blankets and plastic wrapping and handles everything from fragile items to larger pieces that need disassembly before they go on the truck. If you prefer to pack some things yourself and leave the rest to the crew, partial packing is an option too.
Long distance moves are generally priced based on the distance travelled and the volume or weight of what’s being moved, with additional services like packing or storage affecting the total. The further the destination and the more there is to move, the more those two factors drive the cost. The best way to get an accurate figure for your specific move is through a detailed estimate, which BC Moving & Storage provides free of charge by phone or video.
Yes. BC Moving & Storage has an on-site storage facility in Victoria that covers exactly that situation, whether the gap is a few days or a few months. The warehouse is heated, secure, and monitored, and it means your belongings stay with the same company handling your move rather than being transferred to a separate storage provider. Short and long-term options are both available.
Transit time on a long distance move varies based on the destination, the route, and whether your shipment travels exclusively or as part of a consolidated load. Moves within BC are typically faster than cross-country relocations, which can take considerably longer depending on the distance involved. A delivery window is confirmed during the planning process so you know what to expect before anything is loaded.
For most long distance moves, booking six to eight weeks ahead gives enough time to plan the routing, coordinate the ferry crossing off the island, and lock in the services you need. Cross-country moves benefit from even more lead time, particularly during peak moving season between May and September when availability fills faster. If your timeline is tighter, calling the office directly is the fastest way to find out what can be arranged.
Great Canadian Van Lines is a national moving network that BC Moving & Storage partners with to coordinate long distance relocations across Canada. The partnership means a locally trusted Victoria company manages your move from the first call while the national network handles the logistics of getting your belongings there safely. It combines local accountability with the infrastructure a coast to coast move actually requires.
BC Moving & Storage has been handling moves across Victoria and BC since 1993, and that track record extends to the long distance work coordinated through Great Canadian Van Lines. Every move includes a full inventory of your goods so nothing is unaccounted for in transit, and cargo protection and coverage is included as standard. The BBB A+ rating the company has maintained reflects a consistent standard of care across more than 30 years of moves, not just local ones.
