Affordable Moving Services for Students and Young Professionals in Vancouver

Moving to or around Vancouver can be exciting, but if you're a student or just starting your career, it can also feel expensive and overwhelming. Between tight budgets, small apartments, and busy schedules, you need a moving solution that’s simple, affordable, and stress-free.

At Tingsapp, we understand the unique challenges that come with early adult life. Whether you're moving into your first apartment in Kitsilano, relocating for a new job downtown, or switching student housing in East Van, we're here to help make the process easy.

Why affordable moving matters for students and young professionals

If you're studying or just starting out, chances are:

  • You don’t have a lot of extra time

  • You’re working with a limited budget

  • You don’t own a lot of furniture, but the pieces you do have matter

  • You value convenience and transparency

That’s where Tingsapp comes in.

What makes Tingsapp ideal for student and young adult moves

  1. Book in minutes, no phone calls needed
    You can schedule a move just like ordering a ride. No back-and-forth calls or emails. Just enter your move details in the app, choose a time that works, and you’re good to go.

  2. Pay only for what you need
    Tingsapp offers upfront pricing with no hidden fees or estimates. Whether you’re moving one room or a full bachelor suite, you’ll only pay for the actual job.

  3. Last-minute moves are no problem
    Need to move this weekend, tomorrow, or even today? Tingsapp lets you book last-minute moves with available local movers in Surrey, Burnaby, and across Metro Vancouver.

  4. Movers you can trust
    All Tingsapp movers are background-checked and rated by users. They come equipped with tools to move beds, desks, and boxes safely, even in tight stairwells or small elevators.

  5. You don’t need an account to book
    Just use your phone number. We’ll create a temporary account so you can track your move and chat with your mover directly in the app.

Moving scenarios we help with

Tingsapp is a go-to solution for:

  • UBC or SFU students moving into campus housing

Keep it affordable and simple

Here’s how to save even more:

  • Be packed and ready when the mover arrives

  • Use Tingsapp’s fixed pricing to avoid surprise fees
