WHAT IS IT'S YOUR MOVE?
At IT'S YOUR MOVE we provide a rental service of reusable plastic totes and crates for residential moves.
I DON'T GET IT. WHY BOTHER? IT'S JUST AN ADDED EXPENSE.
Our aim is to basically change how people handle their moves by providing an environmentally friendly alternative via the use of reusable plastic crates and totes. We ensure that by using our products and service for your next move it will be more efficient, convenient and more affordable than using traditional cardboard boxes.
BUT BOXES DO JUST FINE.
See our extensive reasearch by visiting our say no to boxes section. Especially considering that buying new boxes will cost you twice as much as renting our products and take twice the amount of your time.
WHO ARE YOUR CLIENTS?
IT'S YOUR MOVE has primarily serviced Downtown Vancouver, Yaletown and the West End. Our clients are usually 1-2 bedroom apartment moves. Most of our clients move themselves rather than use moving companies. Less than half rent trucks, rather, rely on friends. Most of our clients have moved more than twice in 5 years.
HOW COME I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS BEFORE?
So far, most of our business has been word of mouth and we've been run off our feet. It's not a new idea. The use of reusable containers has been the norm in Europe for decades. There are several companies which have similar services the US, albeit commercial moves.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
A hassle free move in 4 easy steps:
- Call us at 604-835-PACK(7225) and tell us how many crates and totes you require.
- We deliver them to your door.
- You Pack, You Move, You unpack.
- Call us when you are done and we come to pick them up.
WILL YOU MOVE ME?
No, we are not a moving company, in fact we hate to move.
HOW DO I KNOW HOW MANY CONTAINERS I NEED?
We have included an online estimation page. In addition, you may also view our
How Many Do I Need section, to assist in your assessment. Everyone's needs are different. We have found however, that many clients under estimate. You only realize how much stuff you have until the time comes for you to pack it all.
WILL YOU COME TO MY HOUSE TO ESTIMATE HOW MANY I NEED?
Unfortunately no, the estimation process is up to you. We do however have weekly drop off and pickups so if you find yourself short don't hesitate to call, we would be glad to drop off whatever you need.
DOES IT'S YOUR MOVE OFFER DIFFERENT SIZE CONTAINERS?
Yes, our primary line is an industrial grade 75 litre crate which works with an accompanying dolly. We also offer Rubbermaid storage bins and Rubbermaid jumbo tote products as well.
CAN YOU GUARANTEE THAT MY BELONGINGS WILL BE PROTECTED?
There's no guarantee but making use of these products in consistency with the
moving tips resource page and
user guide should help address this issue.
WHERE DOES IT'S YOUR MOVE DELIVER TO AND PICK UP FROM?
It's Your Move primarily services the Greater Vancouver area, Lower Mainland Municipalities, Tri-City Area, and the Fraser Valley. We are unable to acommodate long distance moves.

pickups to townhouses and detached homes be destined to a carport or garage
area. In cases of apartments we would request an open area within the suite
