WHEN SHOULD I CALL THE MOVING COMPANY?

When booking a move, earlier is always better, and 4-6 weeks is the ideal time to ensure you get the dates and times you desire. You will have the peace of mind of having your move day locked in so you can start packing early. Let’s Get Moving also requires an alternative move day to accommodate inclement weather or other unforeseen circumstances.

HOW SHOULD I PREPARE FOR MY MOVE?

Start creating a moving timeline before calling the movers and buying packing and moving materials. The moving experts at Let’s Get Moving recommend preparing for a move at least two months before your move-out date; however, the earlier you book your move and start packing, the better. Read our recommended timeline for a smooth move.

Absolutely! Our team of professional movers has years of experience in handling specialized items. From fragile sculptures to priceless paintings, we have the expertise to ensure your valuable possessions are treated with the care they deserve.

ARE THERE RESTRICTIONS ON THE TYPES OF ITEMS I CAN MOVE?

There are some things that your movers can’t move for you. Moving restricted items can have profound legal coincidences, so we always recommend checking which items are on the prohibited list and which ones you shouldn’t pack. In short, if it requires special handling when being disposed of (gasoline, paint and paint thinners, fireworks), moving companies cannot put the item in their truck. However, you or a professional who handles such materials can move them separately. Please refer to Canada’s Transportation of Dangerous Goods regulations for more information.
