Who loads the container decides what arrives in one piece. Freight yards move boxes; they don't wrap furniture. Our crews are movers first, so your container is packed, braced, and secured at your door in Metro Vancouver by people who've wrapped furniture since 1999. From Vancouver, BC, Canada, we ship 20 and 40 foot containers door to door or door to port.
Household, partial load, or business goods, you get one fixed quote covering the container, the loading, and the paperwork we prepare with you before sealing. Call (604) 721-4555 with your destination and we'll tell you which container fits.

20 foot or 40 foot: which container do you need?
A 20 foot container holds a typical two-bedroom home. A 40 foot holds a large four or five bedroom house, or a household plus a vehicle. Most people guess too big, and the free survey tells us the truth before you pay for space you don't need.
- 20 ft: roughly a two-bedroom home's contents
- 40 ft: a large family house, or a house plus a car
- Shared container space for smaller loads
- Loaded, braced, and sealed at your door
How container shipping from Vancouver works
We book the container, load it at your home, and truck it to the Port of Vancouver. It sails, clears customs on the paperwork we prepared with you, and delivers to your new door if you booked door to door.
Full households moving abroad usually start with our overseas moving service, which adds export packing. Just need the sea leg? See ocean freight. Shipping to the States by road instead? Canada to USA moving is often faster and cheaper than a container.

What fits in a 20-foot shipping container when moving?
A typical two-bedroom home's furniture and boxes, loaded by people who know how to stack. That's the honest rule of thumb. Bulky items like pianos, workshop tools, or big sectionals eat space fast, which is why we survey before we book the box. If you're borderline, careful loading beats paying for a 40.
Who loads the container in a door-to-port move?
Our movers do, at your home, and that matters more than any other part of the job. Freight handlers stack boxes; movers wrap furniture, brace the load, and tie off each section so nothing shifts at sea. The container is sealed in your driveway and stays sealed to the port.
How much is a container from Vancouver to Europe?
There's no honest flat number, because the price moves with container size, season, and destination port. Anyone quoting firm without asking questions is guessing. Give us the destination and a quick video survey, and you'll get a fixed written quote with the loading and paperwork included. No hidden fees.
Can I ship a partial load instead of a whole container?
Yes. Smaller loads share container space, and you pay for the space you use. Your goods are still wrapped and loaded by our crew, and they still travel on a numbered inventory. It's the cheapest way to ship a few rooms overseas.
