MR MAPLE MOVING
How long does a move last?
A one bedroom ground-level apartment takes an average of 45 minutes to an 1:15 hr to complete the move. The average time for a two bedroom is 2 hrs. Factors such as the amount of items to be moved, furniture size, elevator floor space, and stairs will affect the total time a move will take. Also,Are we insured and have WorkSafe BC coverage?
Absolutely, all the moving teams we work with are fully insured and covered with WorkSafe BC since day 1.
What size is our truck?
Which one? We have 4! Two 3-ton + two 6-ton trucks; 16 foot, 24 and 30 foot box truck. Not enough with 1, no problem we can take a 2nd one, there is no extra cost if it’s our 16 ft or 30 ft.Do you offer moving insurance?
Yes. A policy from a third-party insurance is recommended for valuable items, if you do not have coverage, we can offer several options. It’s a straight forward process; give us a call at (778) 652-8404 prior to your scheduled moving date. More moving F.A.Q’s below.Do your hourly rates change?
If a move is scheduled on the End Of Month period, 26th to 3rd of month, our rates increase for $10/hr due to high volume of booked jobs.
Do you offer boxing and packaging as a moving service?
Yes we do, we only pass on the cost of the materials to you. Give us a call to arrange the packaging survey visit. We suggest all glassware items to be wrapped before move day to have a speedy move.
How do you protect hardwood floors and carpets?
Our team will carry a rolled floor runner such as you see in the photos below, they are especially made for this areas. They also offer protection from boot soles and the wheels of our moving dollies.
When does my hourly time start?
This is a very common question, in short the time starts when you write the start time in our job form (which is the moment our Moving Team steps into your office or home). We do not pro-rate or do any rounding of the start time. It’s minute by minute.Why a 1hr Travel Time fee?
Yes, this fee covers the cost for the distance the truck & movers cover from our storage to the starting point, and after job is complete to come back to our storage. If its inside the Vancouver Metro area we it would be a 1 hr for Travel Time.
