Job ID: JAN2408302026 ( Residential Relocation ) - What This Move Involved
Get Movers Vancouver BC establishes itself as a reliable moving company in the region by executing precise logistics for this two-bedroom home relocation. This residential move from South Cambie to Strathcona focused on efficient handling during typical January conditions in Vancouver. Moving trucks parked near the parking lot off W 12th Ave were dispatched at 08:15 AM to ensure movers reached the South Cambie residence on W 18th Ave on time for the 08:30 AM start.
The move progressed smoothly, navigating the rain-slicked roads of South Cambie, utilizing Cambie St to connect northward, and entering the historic Strathcona community via the viaducts and E Pender St. All items were loaded in a logical order to prioritize efficient unloading, ensuring a clean and stress-free delivery at the new Strathcona home. Despite the ambient temperature of 3°C and high humidity, we activated our 'Moisture Control Protocol,' using heavy-duty thermal blankets and shrink wrap inside the heated home before exiting to prevent wood swelling or varnish damage due to the damp winter air.
Efficient Home Access
Planning for South Cambie's residential streets along W 18th Ave allowed for smooth loading and immediate protection of household goods against the persistent Vancouver winter rain.
Careful Furniture Protection
The wide wooden credenza was fully wrapped with robust protective padding inside the home before loading, utilizing a step-and-angle technique to navigate the narrow corner near the sliding glass door.
Logical Loading Order
Fragile items, specifically the crate containing the thin glass dessert plates, were loaded in a specific, safe zone within the truck to ensure stability during the drive to Strathcona.
GPS Route Track - Job ID: JAN2408302026
GPS Track: Utilizing Cambie St and the Viaducts to ensure safe heavy-truck transit on main arterials during winter rain conditions, avoiding congestion on Broadway.

Rain Protection Strategy
Get Movers Vancouver BC utilizes industry-grade shrink wrap and floor runners to protect the home, ensuring the wide wooden credenza remained dry while exiting the back hallway into the rain.
Strathcona Delivery
Get Movers Vancouver BC provides expert navigation of Strathcona's older, narrow streets, positioning the truck safely on E Pender St to allow for an efficient unloading process near the sidewalk.
Fragile Item Care
Get Movers Vancouver BC mandates the use of reinforced divider crates for delicate items, ensuring the client's thin glass dessert plates were transported without a single chip despite the truck movement.
How we handled it
Once the initial walkthrough of the South Cambie residence was complete and the two-bedroom plan confirmed, our movers followed a structured, step-by-step process designed to eliminate last-minute changes and ensure reliability.
Protection & packing
- Specialized Credenza Handling: The wide wooden credenza was positioned tightly near a glass door; we reinforced each edge and used a step-and-angle technique to guide it safely without touching the frame.
- Fragile Glassware Packing: Each thin glass dessert plate was wrapped individually in cushioned sleeves and placed upright inside reinforced divider crates to ensure maximum protection.
- Secure load stability: Items were packed tightly and securely within the truck to withstand the drive along Vancouver's roads, preventing shifting during transit to Strathcona.
Moving method
- Calm & steady pace: The team maintained a calm pace throughout the day, ensuring no rushed decisions were made, particularly when maneuvering the large credenza through the tight corner.
- Clear communication: Communication remained consistent from start to finish, keeping the client informed about the specific handling of the fragile plates and heavy furniture.
- Logical unloading: By loading items in a logical order at South Cambie, the unloading process at Strathcona was simplified, allowing for efficient room-by-room placement.
