Long Distance Moving, Interstate Moving, and Cross Border Moving in the USA and Canada | 5 Movers Quotes

Moving all the way across the country might be one of the most stressful experiences in someone’s life. And if you are searching for available movers in Toronto who could help you out with this, you should know you have about a few hundred options available. However, the success of a cross-country move depends a lot on the professionalism and efficiency of the movers you choose. There are other small aspects that make the difference between a stressful and a hassle-free move, and we are here to tell you all about them.

Make an inventory and a checklist

First of all, make a checklist of everything you will need to take care of in the next weeks or months. From checking to see which available movers in Toronto are the most affordable to booking the elevator, everything is important and should be taken care of in due time. Second, write a list of everything you own. Not down to the smallest earring, but make some estimations: a medium-sized box of jewelry and accessories, four large boxes of clothes, ten large boxes of bedsheets, etc. This will make things easy not only for you, but also for your family and for everyone else involved in the process.

Get rid of things you no longer use

And by this, we don’t mean you should throw them away. But you have so many options and it is important to choose the most suitable ones for each item that you want to get rid of. Make a batch of things you want to sell or donate, a batch of objects that can be upcycled, and a batch of objects that will be thrown away or recycled. It is important that you don’t keep useless stuff around the house, because it does nothing but to clutter the space. Make sure you take care of this aspect in advance, before packing.

Find available movers in Toronto

Moreover, find the best movers in Toronto by reviews. Go online, go to your friend Google, and search for movers in Toronto. After the websites and the reviews gave you a general idea on which are the best available movers in Toronto, get in touch with them and request a free quote. Compare the quotes and see which are affordable to you. At the same time, don’t forget to ask about what exactly is covered by that amount. Movers such as Let’s Get Moving practice a fullyinclusive hourly rate that covers everything, from the truck to the insurance, but not all companies have this policy. Therefore, better safe than paying hidden costs at the end: ask for details about the services and the prices. Since we are talking about a long-distance move, make sure you are realistic when it comes to the costs of your move. Yes, maybe three years ago your Toronto relocation costed $500, but now you are moving to Quebec and everything is changed, including the amount of items you have. Keep these aspects in mind while hearing about the costs associated with the relocation.

Pack properly

Packing your entire life in a few boxes and bags is never a fun thing to do. There is a lot to pay attention to in order to protect your objects throughout the entire move. Arm yourself with enough moving boxes, packing paper, bubble wrap, tape, and markers. The bigger the house, the longer the packing, so make sure you are mentally prepared for this. Now, the quickest and – if you ask us – the smartest solution is to search for available movers in Toronto who are also professional packers. This way, they will take care of the entire packing process and therefore save you precious time and energy. This service is not as expensive as people often think, so maybe you can consider it!

Check your car

If you hire movers to take care of relocating your belongings, you will have to drive yourself to the destination. Whether or not you will travel together with the movers, there is still a long road ahead of you, so buckle up and get ready. One aspect people tend to forget about is checking their car prior to this trip. Take it to a service and make sure it is ready to hit the road. You really wouldn’t want it to crash somewhere in the middle of nowhere, between Toronto and Quebec. Let there be other stressful aspects, if needed, and avoid this one. You can also consider relocating the car with the help of professional movers. Companies such as Let’s Get Moving provide this service, as well. Find out more and decide for yourself whether this is an option!
