Budgeting for Your Move
Tips on how to budget effectively for your upcoming move.
We're different: our movers are company shareholders, not employees. They're better paid and care more about your move.
We had a tricky situation with a walk-up apartment and lots of stairs, but they handled a tough move with ease. Never complained, never paused, just kept going with smiles on their faces. I was exhausted just watching them. They even made a game plan for which pieces should go up first so the rest would be easier. That kind of thinking really impressed me.
At Owner Operator Movers, we believe Delta residents deserve better value when they move. Our rates are competitive with other local movers, but what truly sets us apart is who shows up. Our movers are shareholders in the company, take pride in their work, and treat your belongings with real care. Whether you’re moving from a family home in Ladner or downsizing in Tsawwassen, you’ll get more effort, more accountability, and more value for your money.
A local move in Delta might seem easy enough, but it can get tricky fast. If you’ve ever tried backing a moving truck into a tight driveway in Ladner during a rainstorm, or dealt with elevator bookings at a Tsawwassen condo, you know it’s not always as simple as it sounds. From farm roads with soft shoulders to strict strata rules and ferry traffic backups, there’s more to it than meets the eye.
That’s why local experience matters. Our Delta movers know the best ways around traffic near Highway 17, how to time moves around ferry departures, and where to park without running into trouble. That kind of street smarts saves time, keeps costs down, and makes your moving day a lot less stressful.
Moving a piano in Delta takes more than strength, it takes planning, precision, and a deep respect for the instrument. Whether it’s an upright tucked into a heritage home in Ladner or a baby grand on the top floor of a Tsawwassen condo, we handle each move with care and confidence. No damage, no stress, just experienced movers who know exactly what they’re doing.
Delta brings its own set of challenges; tight staircases, long driveways, unexpected weather, and the occasional ferry schedule to consider. That’s why we come prepared with the right dollies, heavy-duty padding, and the patience to do things properly. A piano isn’t just furniture. It’s personal, and we treat it that way every time.
Commercial moves in Delta can come with plenty of moving parts; tight deadlines, valuable equipment, and the need to stay up and running. Whether you're relocating an office in Ladner Village or moving operations from a Tsawwassen industrial unit, we know how to keep things organized and on track.
We coordinate with property managers, sort out parking logistics, and label every box so your team doesn’t miss a beat. Need to move outside business hours? We’re flexible. Have sensitive equipment? We’ve got the gear and experience to move it safely. When you're running a business, downtime is costly. We're here to keep your move smooth, quiet, and on schedule, so you can stay focused on the work that matters.
Packing is more than just filling boxes, it’s about keeping your belongings safe and your stress level low. Our Delta packing services are designed to make your move smoother from the very start. Whether you’re moving out of a condo in Tsawwassen or a family home in Ladner, we bring the experience and materials to get it done right.
We arrive with everything; strong boxes, bubble wrap, packing paper, and tape; and handle each item with care, right down to your most fragile keepsakes. Want us to pack the whole house? No problem. Just need help with the kitchen or a few delicate items? That works too. No pressure, no judgment, just skilled, reliable help that gives you peace of mind.
Our excellent storage partners have locations throughout the Lower Mainland.
We got our start in Vancouver’s West End, doing small moves with one truck and a lot of hustle. That was the beginning. But it wasn’t long before we were regularly crossing the river, helping families and businesses move in Delta, from the farm roads of Ladner to the condos rising around Tsawwassen.
Delta quickly became one of our busiest areas. We’ve moved everything from antique furniture out of heritage homes to full office setups near the ferry terminal. Our crews are used to long rural driveways, tight strata loading zones, and working around tunnel traffic and ferry schedules. We’ve learned the ins and outs of Delta the same way we learned the streets of East Van, by showing up, rain or shine, and doing the work right.
Today, we run lean and local. No storefronts, no overhead. Just experienced owner operators who live in the region and care about every job they take. Vancouver may be where we started, but Delta is very much part of who we are.
With branches across Canada we are able to offer frequent and economical moving service for all size moves between all points in BC, Alberta, and Toronto
