This company lives up to its name. Robin and Nick were very efficient and extremely careful and caring when it comes to moving. Came in under quote and only charged us for the time it took! Highly recommend this company.

I can't begin to express how amazing Robin and his team were. 5 stars truly isn't enough. I am from the mainland and my mom was living in Qualicum Beach. They helped with boxes, organizing dump runs and moving. James and Nick came and packed us up with speed and precision. My mom is a picky person and she was impressed with their care of her precious furniture and items. Both Nick and James were friendly, kind and hard workers. This company has the kind of employees you would hope every moving company would have. They truly are the 'best move' to make when you're looking to make your next move!!

Robin and the team at Best Moves were incredible. They did a great job moving my wife and I and helped get everything set in the right places. Everyone on the team was extremely professional and positive, which helped make the chaos and stress of moving so much easier. They took exceptional care of all of our items, and easily transported all our items without issue, even the breakables and glass. This was by far the best team of movers we’ve ever worked with, and we have already recommended Robin and Best Moves to others we know are moving in a few months.

Just wrapped up a move in Parksville with Best Moves and couldn’t be happier. Robin was great to deal with - super clear, honest, and quick to provide a straightforward quote. The crew showed up right on time in a clean, professional-looking truck that definitely stood out, you can tell these folks take pride in their gear. They were friendly, careful with all my stuff, and worked efficiently from start to finish. No surprise charges, no stress. If you’re moving on the Island and want it done right, give these folks a call. Highly recommend!

Second move with Robin and crew from Best Moves, Parksville! Great crew, took great care with our antique pieces and the move was so easy! They were punctual, courteous, on budget and went the extra mile to make sure this move went well! Thanks to Ethan, Matt and Robin for all their help!
