CHEAP MOVERS TORONTO: AN A-Z OF MOVING


As the mover of choice in the region, we have come up with an A-Z list of what you need to consider when moving.
ü  MOVING BOXES
Selecting the appropriate moving boxes is a crucial aspect to consider when you have to move. The reason is that different items in your house will require different storage boxes, and knowing the right type is always crucial to ensuring a smooth moving process. Moving boxes come with different weight limits. For instance, such items as clothing, furniture or art all require boxes of different dimensions and weight limits. Mattress boxes are used for mattresses, mirror/picture boxes are ideal for mirrors, framed pictures and pieces of art while dish packs are the best for packing glasses and cups. There are boxes for most items in the house; you just have to identify the item and get the appropriate box.
The main thing to consider about moving boxes is to ensure that they do not exceed a weight limit of 50 pounds. Try as possible to keep the number that exceed 50 lbs to a minimum. Also, do not over pack items in one box because this may result in damages such as broken cups and glasses.
If you insist on packing the items yourself, ask for guidance from the moving company. We guide our clients on the best method to pack the items, step by step. We do this because our customers are our partners.
ü  CHARGES
Moving charges vary with different companies. It is important to be aware of all the various charges that will be levied on you before the actual moving. The price of moving will have to consider such things as the distance, the weight and size of the items and the number of rooms of the house that you are moving to. It is therefore best to agree on all the charges before moving.
ü  ASK FOR APPROPRIATE DUNNAGE
Dunnage refers to the material that is used to prevent any damage to the goods being transported. It is advisable to ask the moving company to provide extra dunnage if you have very fragile and delicate items. In the event these items get damaged, you can have grounds to ask for compensation. Our staff at Local Movers Toronto are trained exceptionally well to ensure the greatest care of your delicate items.
ü  ESTIMATES
An estimate from a moving company is an approximate calculation of the size, weight, value and cost of transporting your items to the new location. Estimates are different depending on the company. Visit Local Movers Toronto at any time to get your estimates in less than an hour. We have a dedicated section to cater for all your estimate needs.
ü  FLIGHT CHARGES
Flight charges will sometimes be added if the movers are carrying the items down or up a flight of stairs. It is important that you include this while estimating the costs to avoid any new costs billed to you later.
ü  HIGH-VALUE ITEMS
If you have several very valuable items, then you will be required to fill an inventory that lists the high-value items. Such items include expensive art and computer. The inventory ensures the protection of these expensive items.
ü  INVENTORY
All the items and their condition are listed in inventory. Ensure that all your items are correctly matched with the condition. The inventory acts as proof in case of any damage to your items.
ü  LOADING
The moving company should take care of this. Local Movers Toronto staff are skilled in the art of loading boxes in our trucks for transportation. We undertake this task with excellent skill and utmost care.
ü  PACKING
When the owner packs the items, then these are referred to as packed by owner (PBO). In the event of any damage during transportation, these may not be compensated. However, carrier packed (CP) items are packed by the mover and may be compensated by the mover in the case of any damage.
ü  WEIGHT
Minimum weight means fewer charges. Wight is one of the considerations for the moving cost. Pack as little weight as possible.
