            Based on higher reviews, affiliation with the *** and above average price (based on 7 quotes) GVCL seemed like a good choice. On loading day (May 31st) the paperwork I signed stated that the delivery window was June 5-13th which was great since we would arrive in ******** on the 5th and it would give us plenty of time to get settled in ahead of a new job starting. The set up was that the driver would call you 24 hours ahead of delivery. After not hearing from them on the 5th we decided to arrive in ******** on June 6th with a car full of necessities to get us through for the next week. After not hearing anything by the 12th, which meant the delivery would not arrive on the 13th I emailed to follow up. Our delivery window on the online portal had changed and now stated that the 27th was the end of the window, which was a full 2 weeks later than our original date and meant living without our belongings for a total of 27, rather than 13 days.

            Glad I chose Great Canadian Van Lines Ltd. to move me from Victoria, BC to Barrie, Ontario. Staff very friendly and helpful. Ron and his crew were the best. They took great care in protecting my items. They made amazing time across Canada and delivered all my items as promised, actually sooner than I expected. Just be aware that you will probably have to pay for a shuttle if moving from or into a townhouse or apartment. Their Vans are 76 feet long and cannot get into most areas. Would highly recommend this. company.
