Packing and Unpacking Help

Already booked your movers and need help packing before they arrive? Or have you moved in and still have a kitchen full of boxes? Vancouver Home Help offers in-home packing and unpacking in Kitsilano, Dunbar and West Point Grey. You can book us separately from your moving company, including for just one room.

You provide the boxes and packing materials. We work through the rooms or items you choose, starting with your highest priority.

Pricing and appointments

Price: $89 + tax for one worker for up to one hour. Additional workers are available at the same rate.

If you would like us to stay longer, each subsequent 15 minutes is billed at $22.25 per worker.

When we visit: Service hours are between 9AM – 1PM on weekdays. You decide when we should arrive.

Help packing before a move

We pack everyday household belongings such as books, clothing, linens, pots and pans, and ordinary dishes. We wrap items using the materials you provide, tape the boxes closed and label them by room and contents so you can find things at the other end.

If your movers arrive on Friday and you still need the kitchen packed, you can book us for that room alone. Show us what should stay out until moving day, such as your coffee maker, medications or a change of clothes, and we’ll leave those items where you ask.

Help unpacking after a move

We open boxes, unpack everyday belongings and put them where you direct. For example, we can unpack your kitchen, place dishes in the cupboards you choose and flatten the empty boxes in a designated spot. You can also book a visit for a parent or family member who wants help settling in.

On-Time Guarantee

We will show up on-time for the job. If we’re more than 10 minutes late, we will discount the bill by 10%. If we’re more than 30 minutes late, we will do the work for free.

Request packing or unpacking help

Tell us your neighbourhood, your preferred date, whether you need packing or unpacking, and the room you want us to tackle first. A description such as “pack the kitchen before our movers arrive on Friday” or “unpack six boxes of dishes and cookware in our new apartment” gives us a good starting point. If you’re unsure how much work is involved, include a few photos. We’ll review the scope and confirm availability before you book.
