Is there a delivery charge?
Yes, we do charge for delivery based on three zones in the Vancouver
Lower Mainland. Please view the Delivery & Pickup Zone Map for delivery pricing to your location.
The pricing includes both delivery and pickup of the rental equipment
and is priced by Moving Blocks to cover ONLY the costs associated with the
transportation and labor involved in delivering the service. Although we
could build the delivery cost into the price of the rental, we have decided
that a customer down town shouldn't pay the same price for someone who lives far away.
The delivery charge is automatically calculated
based on the pickup and delivery locations you enter in the online ordering system.
