2-star Google reviewMarion4 years ago
The three young men that showed up were very nice and professional. Ryan the lead made sure that everything made it on the truck. I thank them for their efforts. I was originally quoted $1500 for my move from East Sooke to Metchosin but ended up paying $1950. It took one hour longer than planned and then there was a charge for having a gravel driveway. The unfortunate part was when they tried to move my king size mattress up the stairs.

Hi Marion, We are sorry to hear you weren't happy with the options presented. As per our original estimate notes our goal is to seek repair of a damaged item wherever possible. During, and after the repair when reviewing, we explained that the fabric used to make the mattress bottom was too thin…

UPDATE: The owner reached out and attempted to resolve the issue as best he could. Obviously cares about fulfilling their promises to customers. The gesture was appreciated, though it doesn't change my original review. *** Not sure what the coffee and housewarming gift are they speak of... They drove my belongings to the wrong address and couldn't figure that out until I literally walked over and found their truck. They were unprofessional, never smiled, rarely made eye contact...

INSULT onto INJURY *Not a day goes by that am not haunted by the Losses caused by this company. some years ago, I hired this company. The 2 young men, at some point, speaking of wanting lunch and pushing that if they didn't go-it wouldn't be within the quote (-and as if there wasn't an alternative or offer to extend it,pushed to get going). They deposited the locks from my multiple lockers in the basement of my building -and we left.

1-star Google reviewMaytai V.5 years ago
Here are the issues we had with You Move Me: - Arrived 2 hours late - Half way into moving us, 1 of their movers were called away to do another move. This left only 2 movers to do the job of 3 so it took almost 8 hours to complete a move where the properties were 10 minutes driving distance. - Expensive leather furniture was scratched and and damaged - Front door was damaged when furniture was forced through This was a terrible experience.

The guys worked hard but broke two items that are difficult to replace. I reported this to the company a month ago, but I’ve had no response. I’ve moved many times in the last few years and never has anything been broken before. Very disappointing.

Hi Sheila, we appreciate you bringing this to our attention, we resolved this with you directly and to our understanding were satisfied with the resolution.

I wasn’t impressed with Jorge at all. The other guy was good, however Jorge complained right from the get go, about having to wait 10 minutes because of my busy work schedule. It took me 10 extra minutes to arrive at the house to greet the movers, he couldn’t set up the gym equipment that was a problem when we paid to have it set up and whoever we spoke to on the phone said your company could set it up as they took it apart, he did everything half ass at best. And made the other guy do the hard work.

Hi Joey, We're sorry to hear that you had such a specific issue with one of our employees. In regards to your concerns about the reassembly of the gym equipment, it was mistakenly assumed by our office staff that we had disassembled the equipment on the 1st portion of the move which was not…

1-star Google reviewCatherine O.11 years ago
An older non-computer literate couple that I work with used this company and hated it! They felt judged (they were told their stuff was junk which, in my opinion, is not professional, no matter the state of their possessions. If it's stuff they care about, then treat it nicely.) On the day, they were told they had to remove everything from a filing cabinet so You Move Me could move it by hand instead of just using a dolly (they apparently didn't have one) and some tape to move it and its contents as a unit.

Hi Catherine, we worked hard to resolve this offline and appreciate you brining this concern forward. Please do not hesitate to contact us directly if you have any questions.

1-star Google reviewOrange C.Edited 4 years ago
The quote I was given by the call center booking representative was off quite a bit for our 2 bedroom condo move( $400.00 ) . They sent 2 workers of which one of them seemed quite new . A third worker came about 4 hours later to help out . They were all friendly , courteous and I liked the red carpet roll out and plant gestures at the end of the move . However, $400.00 over the quoted price and I still had to move smaller items at the end by myself .

I had an excellent experience with You move me. The team was punctual, professional, and handled all items with great care. Communication was clear from start to finish, and the entire process was efficient and stress-free. Nothing was damaged, and everything arrived exactly as expected. Pricing was competitive, which is impressive since every moving company here in the island is asking for way more. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy moving service.

5-star Google reviewMichael S.a year ago
What an awesome experience. We were a bit of a last minute move and were cared for from the moment we got a quote from Liz. She answered all of our questions and made sure we had all the information needed to make moving day go smoothly. On moving day, Alkria, Hayden, Ryan & Ray showed up with a perk in their step and hustled to move our belongings carefully and quickly. If you're in need of a moving company with fair pricing and good workers- consider these fine folks at You Move Me Vancouver Island.

Hello Michael, it’s such a treat to hear about the impact that our amazing team had on your move! Thanks so much for taking the time to share this excellent review.

5-star Google reviewDawson O.8 months ago
We moved with You Move Me on November 27th, 2025. Our movers Bruno and Colin were awesome. They were personable and professional, they were very careful with all of our stuff as well as very careful with both our old apartment and our new suite. The interactions leading up to the move were smooth and efficient. They confirmed the amount of stuff we were moving and confirmed our 3 hour quote. On the day of the move, we were informed that our movers would arrive closer to the back end of our arrival estimate.

4-star Google reviewKaren J.4 months ago
I recently completed a move with You Move Me and overall had a positive experience. They contacted me quickly after my inquiry to complete a pre-move assessment and scheduled three movers and a truck for moving day. The team arrived on time and were very friendly and professional. They used runners to keep the space clean and handled our items with care. There were a few issues, however. One of our closet doors was damaged during the move, which my husband ultimately repaired himself.
