Did you know that Ferguson Moving and Storage has Vancouver’s only in house training facility for movers? We don’t just put ads out for experienced movers. We’ve found that most of the time that means we hire bad habits and we want great service for our customers. All of our staff at Ferguson’s care about making sure our customers experience a higher level of care.
Our warehouse has a mock 1 bedroom apartment that we train our staff with. Training includes packing china, artwork, clothes, books, bedding and more. We also train for in house blanket wrap service, lifting techniques, loading techniques and most importantly, customer care. Over the years we’ve found that anyone can lift a sofa and put it in a truck. However, it takes a special work ethic to show a customer you care. That’s the Ferguson difference and we guarantee it!

Call now 604-922-2212 Moving in the heat requires water

Saturday, July 10th, 2010

When our staff move in Vancouver, they are used to moving in almost every kind of weather. Rain, snow, wind, sleet, hail and heat! When it’s cold, movers can dress warm and when it’s raining they can shrink wrap all of the furniture to keep it dry.

Lately, there has been a heat wave for the movers to work in. Incredibly hot weather can leave a person dehydrated in minutes. Especially when they are working so hard like our movers do. Carrying sofas, beds, dresssers, appliances and pianos up and down flights of stairs all day.

We have many water cooler bottles in our warehouse and when a heat wave comes in, staff are encouraged to fill up their water bottles as much as possible. During the moves in the range of only 6 hours movers will generally need to consume 2 – 4 litres of water just to stay hydrated.

When you’re moving in the heat this summer, please keep as much water around as possible and don’t forget to water your movers. =-)

Vancouver Moving Experts Call now 604-922-2212

Wednesday, July 7th, 2010

Since 1916 Ferguson Moving & Storage have been relocating Vancouver residents. Over the last 9 decades, Ferguson Moving & Storage has seen many changes to not only Vancouver’s landscape, but also to the people and what they move. In the earlier years, everyone had custom made furniture. There were no machines to make things back in the day so everything was hand made. None of it came from China. It was mostly European or domestically produced.

People back then really loved their furniture and choosing a moving company was one of the most important decisions to make when moving. People talked to others to find out who they used and how was the movers service? They really wanted the Vancouver moving experts.

Today, things are much different yet very similar too. People still care about their furniture, but they also care about their time. Today, customers just don’t have the same amount of time to ask around like they used to. Checking out reputations online saves time but not always are people getting the best information. Companies can adn do write their own reviews.

At Ferguson Moving & Storage, we still rely on word of mouth advertising. Things like advertising online and on radio and TV are important. But our staff are trained to understand that our reputation is only as good as our last move.

If you’re moving locally, long distance or overseas, contact Ferguson Moving & Storage for a free in home consultation today. We want to show you why 75% of our business is repeat and referral based.

We guarantee a great move.

Review from this weekend

Monday, July 5th, 2010

Hi Juville:

I just wanted to thank you for organizing my move.  I had Barry and I think the second fellow was Martin  package and move my belongings to storage last Friday and they did a great job.  They were very personable, very organized and efficient and made moving day ‘almost’ enjoyable.

So please be sure to pass along a ‘big thank you’ to the guys for a job well done.  I now need to figure out when we will be able to move things out of storage and in to our new home.  I will advise of dates as soon as possible.  

I appreciate all you help.

Best regards,

Barb
