VANCOUVER, BC, Canada – November 5, 2002 – Moving Blocks Inc., a first of its kind moving service in the Lower Mainland renting out “boxless” moving systems to residents and businesses, has opened its doors with the mission to make moving an easier and better experience while reducing waste. By renting out industrial-strength, weatherproof plastic moving containers and custom-fitted dollies at affordable daily rates and providing delivery and pickup service with each rental, Moving Blocks ensures the utmost in convenience, affordability, protection, and waste reduction.
Founded by two “regular” movers frustrated with the
headaches and costs of moving, Moving Blocks promises its customers a better and
more environmentally-friendly way to move. No more having to find, purchase,
and build cardboard boxes. No more worrying about whether the boxes are going
to tear or crush from excess weight or leak in the rain resulting in ruined
belongings. No more struggling to carry awkward-sized boxes or to fit them into
the moving truck without them falling over or out. No more cleaning up,
storing, or recycling the boxes when done. It’s just four easy steps: 1)
Customers place an order by phone or online. 2) Moving Blocks delivers the
ruggedized containers and dollies. 3) Customers pack and move. 4) Moving Blocks
picks up the items when done – all while being as affordable or more affordable
than purchasing boxes and supplies. And
“I just moved a 5 bedroom house and wish I had had Moving
Blocks for my move. Between the expense and hassle of hiring a moving company
and the $400 I had to spend to move a mountain of cardboard waste I had at the
end, Moving Blocks could have saved me a ton!” –
“This is such a smart idea! I can’t believe this hasn’t been done before.” – Scott Homenick, Vancouver
“Strong plastic containers allowed me to pack very
delicate items like my electronics and computer equipment and not worry about
it. I'd recommend this service to any of my friends and family."
–
“I recently moved my offices and being a small business, I
wanted to reduce my expenses. Moving Blocks was the perfect solution for
me since they have a very inexpensive solution… I also have a lot of confidential
files and documents which I am able to lock using Moving Blocks containers.”
-
“I'm a pretty lazy mover so Moving Blocks was perfect for
me. I'd say that the prices are comparable to cardboard boxes but the nice
thing about Moving Blocks is that they deliver and pick up.”
