In their own words
A team of three guys. Stuffed their pockets with profit and their 5ton to the gills because they did not bring the bigger truck like I said we needed and only stopped to listen to our needs when I threatened to stop the whole job and they went on doing what they though rather then listen and forget stuff. DO NOT call them and book your move. I am impressed only with one guy, Homon of the three. He was the only one who put any thought and effort into meeting our needs.
We chose Secure Moving Ltd for our in-city move because of the great google reviews, and because the receptionist was very informative when we were gathering quotes from companies. Unfortunately, our experience was not good. The movers went to the wrong pick up address, which caused them to be late on arrival (which caused further issues with elevator bookings). The movers did not use any padding on our furniture, even though the website says that furniture blankets are included.
Edit: They refunded me what they extra charged me. But now they are calling me every day and messaging me to my email and phone asking me to delete this review. So much so, that the CEO stalked me on LinkedIn and found out where I work and now they are threating in calling my workplace. If the HARRASMENT don't stop, I will bring the evidence of this to the police. ______________ They extra charged me and it's taking many days to get answers to my emails.
Move April 29th 2025 Have called the RCMP and Vancouver Police dept about your threat via phone to come to my new adress to visit me with the three guys who did the moving and who you yourself suggested to not be responsible of theft. I merely made you aware that multiple boxes and those with childrens toys also in the roughneck plastic canadian tire containers, never arrived. Precision Board Game, Bubble Soap Blower, VTech Zoo Jamz Xylophone.
Nice movers but you need to watch out for hidden costs. 1. They start the clock for travel time ie from the min they leave their office they are on the clock ( was charged an additional 1.5 hours) This is not standard in Vancouver. They never added “travel” time into the quote they provided even though they knew the locations. This was a very sneaky move. Ensure you ask them to put the travel time into the quote as it will DOUBLE your quote right off the bat. 2.
Would not recommend. Owner called me 15 times to pay - including through one of the movers' phone to ask me to pay. It had been 20 mins since the move was concluded and they hadn't yet sent an invoice. I insisted on the invoice because on the phone the rep had mentioned hidden fees not discussed prior. Invoice turned out to be incorrect (charged an extra hour over and above the additional travel hour), so that had to be corrected. Then he called more times asking me to pay while we waited for the new invoice.
I originally posted a 5 star review here because I felt pressured to do so. I also felt pressured to give the owner a tip because of how physically large he was and how I felt uncomfortable. This guy will move your stuff, but I suggest you look elsewhere.

In their own words
I had an excellent experience with Secure Moving. Lawen and Hemn were amazing. The team was professional, punctual, and extremely careful with all of my belongings. They handled everything with great attention to detail and made the entire moving process smooth and stress-free. What really stood out was their efficiency and positive attitude. They worked quickly without cutting corners, and everything arrived in perfect condition. Communication was clear from start to finish, and there were no surprises.
Had an amazing experience with secure moving on Friday. My mom has quite a bit of stuff, it was an all day job, 7 am to I think it was 3 or 4 pm. They did everything they could to make sure all her items were in the rooms they were designated to be in, even if something couldn't fit in a door way, they figure out a way to get it in. For example, they took off knobs to fit it in and put them back on. Furniture was wrapped in plastic to protect it, no damage that I have noticed on anything either.
Hi Alicia, Thanks so much for the lovely review! We’re so glad Cam, Addie, Aman, and the rest of the crew made the move smooth and even fun. It means a lot to hear how well they took care of everything. We truly appreciate the kind words and recommendation!
We moved from a condo to a house, and since it’s a corner unit with very large and complicated furniture, I was really worried at first. Even when we first brought the furniture into the condo, it barely fit through the entrance, so I wondered if we’d have to cut it or take it apart to move it out. But despite how difficult everything must have been, you handled the entire move without a single negative expression.
Hi there! We sincerely appreciate your generous thoughts on your move. 😊 It's heartwarming to hear our team could make your transition smooth and easy, even with the challenges. We're grateful for your trust and glad we could assist you. Wishing you comfort and joy in your new home! …
I’ve been collecting antiques since I was a teenager; delicate bone china tea sets, vintage mirrors, and more. My home is full of fragile pieces that have been passed down or found over the years. So naturally, I was absolutely dreading my recent move, fearing the possibility of breaking these precious, delicate items and losing not only their financial but also emotional value. Honestly, the Secure Moving team exceeded all expectations!
Hi Lawan, Thank you so much for sharing your experience in such detail—it truly means a lot to us. We know how precious and irreplaceable your antiques are, and we’re so glad our team could give you peace of mind and ensure every single piece arrived safely.
