Tips for a move without surprises…
- Be sure to make all changes of address as soon as you receive any mail.
- Contact all doctors, dentists and any other specialists treating members of your family.
- Communicate with all your financial institutions.
- Inform your local utility services of your moving date (Hydro, Telephone, Gas) to coordinate with them for the installations at your new address.
- Make sure to inform your children’s school that you are moving.
- Determine which items you will pack yourself and those that will be packed by our movers.
- Prepare a list of telephone numbers you need to keep handy.
- Determine the number of boxes and all the necessary material to properly pack your items.
- Remember that you will have to move all your domestic animals and green plants yourself.
- Provide for means of transportation for your domestic animals and all items that the movers won’t move themselves (Gas and propane tanks).
- Dismantle all fragile furniture and remove breakable glass components and pack them separately from all other items.
- Collect and gather all your pre-identified boxes in a single room or location.
- Identify the items that you will need immediately upon arrival. They will be loaded last and unloaded first so that you can access them right away.

- Inspect the condition of your furniture before they are loaded into the truck and when they are unloaded.
- Be sure to verify the address on the contract to ensure that the movers know exactly where they are going. Provide a phone number to reach you in case of need.
