In any industry you will find different levels of quality. The moving industry was deregulated (sadly) over 30 years ago, and since then there have been many horror stories about movers. By choosing a mover who is affiliated with a major vanlines company you will avoid many problems associated with using independent movers. Some are good, but many are unreliable or worse, unprofessional. They may offer slightly cheaper rates, but to do that they cut back on important things like professional help, truck maintenance, equipment, taxes, insurance, and service during and after your move.

Pricing is only part of the story when you choose your mover. Just like anything else, quality movers aren't expensive, they are priceless. That said, pricing for different types of moves is calculated as follows:

Local Moves (household and/or office moves) within 200 miles of Toronto:

Local moves are basically charged by the hour. Rates are higher at the end of the month, and at the beginning of the month, when movers are busiest, just like an airline or a travel agency. Speak with your consultant to determine the best rated dates before you choose your moving date. Keep in mind that booking early will lock in the best rates. A fuel surcharge is added to cover the cost of fuel and maintenance for the truck. GST applies but not PST.

National moves (across Canada) and cross-border moving (between Canada and US) :

Costs relating to this type of move are rated based on the weight and the distance using a tariff. Your consultant will offer you the best price possible without sacrificing quality of service. All your furniture will be blanket-wrapped for protection when it is loaded in the truck. Small shipments are consolidated on a large 53 ft tractor-trailer, driven by a northAmerican vanlines driver, who delivers household shipments to various points across Canada and the US. Speak with your consultant about the benefits of using our professional packing services, and our packing materials if you choose to pack yourself.

International Moves:

Charges relating to your international move are calculated using the volume and/or weight. You can choose to ship your things door to door, or door to port, but the only recommended way is door to door service.
