Long Distance Moving Companies- How to choose?

There’s quite few full service long distance moving companies in Canada and there is always a difficulty to choose which one is right for you.

Moving to a new home or an office in another city or province is always an important task in everybody’s life. To make a long distance moving a stress free and, moreover, a pleasant one, it is critically important to select the right long distance moving company, which may become a truly scrupulous task. It is important that you give yourself plenty of time, and put in the work to make sure that the moving company you are researching meets all of the criteria outlined below. The moving company you hire will be responsible for the safe and careful relocation of every item from your home or office. As a result it is crucial that you thoroughly check their reputation before hiring them. Listed here are a few tips which will help you narrow down the best long distance moving company to handle your move.

Read Reviews of Long Distance Moving Companies

With the prevalence of social media, online blogs, and ratings websites across the web, it’s difficult not to come across critical information about all businesses, and particularly moving companies. When choosing a long distance moving company be sure to only choose from companies that have accumulated a considerable amount of online reviews and ratings from previous clients. Some reputable sites and sources for reviews include Google, CAM, Facebook, HomeStars, and the Better Business Bureau (BBB). Be wary of long distance moving companies that have little to no reviews on any of these sites, and little online presence in general. You can also ask for referrals from friends, family, and real estate agents. Whichever route you chose to go, make sure you put some time into doing thorough research when picking a company for your long distance move.

Make Sure Your Long Distance Movers Are Insured

Insurance of your home, belongings, and the company’s employees is another important aspect that you need to concern yourself with when picking a moving company for your long distance move. When asking a moving company about insurance, make sure to ask specific questions such as how much they are insured for, how much is the deductible, and if they have had any claims filed against them in the past year. Hiring a fully insured and bonded company will also guarantee that the employees are professional movers, and not simply day labourers.

Hire Long Distance Movers with Experience

This one may sound like common sense, but make sure to choose a long distance moving company with plenty of experience. Experienced movers know how to handle your belongings with the appropriate care and attention, which is especially important during a long distance move. A long history of company's activity is also an indicator of staying power, which means that the moving company delivers a quality service that has been in high demand for many years. Experience counts for a lot when hiring a long distance moving company, so be sure to do your research before settling on any one company. Hercules Moving Company has been in the long distance relocation market for a long time. That is why we are highly experienced and know each detail of high-quality long distance relocation.

How much do movers charge for a long distance move?

When choosing a long distance moving company, make sure ask the right questions about additional charges such as:

  • Storage
  • Fuel Surcharges
  • Stairs, Scale Fee,
  • Packing and Unpacking, Moving Supplies
  • Special Items, Kayaks, ATVs and Vehicles

A reputable long distance moving company will inform you upfront about all of the costs, so stay away from moving companies that try to hide anything.

The price of long distance moving or moving in general also fluctuates throughout the year. It is cheaper during the off season in winter and gets pricier in the spring, so be conscientious about your budget, and all the tariffs involved. However, lower tariffs don’t always imply a lower bill.

Companies with low prices are less likely to be professional movers and may try to stretch out time, or inflate the rate halfway through the move. To avoid paying more for long distance movers than you expect, make sure to get the tariffs you are quoted in writing, and get a contract with all of the pricing written in.

Pay Attention to Details

Before you settle on your long distance moving company of choice, make sure to ask questions about the quality of the work itself.

  • Will the movers be wrapping and padding all of the furniture with blankets, and covering it with shrink-wrap?
  • Will they be using floor runners to protect the floor from dirt and scratches?
  • What size of truck will they bring?
  • What will they use to protect your more fragile belongings?
  • And when will your belongings arrive after leaving the loading location?
  • There are likely other questions you can come up with on your own, but be sure to ask them prior to hiring the moving company to prevent any last minute problems, or conflicts.

  1. It makes for a stress free move.

JOSH B.

These guys did a great job. Very professional, quick and also careful. They clearly knew what they were doing as I imagine moving a grand piano isn't the same as moving a couch.

David

I want to express my sincere gratitude for the organization of the relocation of our office in Ottawa. Hercules office movers were very polite, neat and responsible. Packing, loading and unloading were logically adjusted, so I could relax and completely trust the process. Special thanks for the ease of communication: I was nervous, and there were problems with the concierge and the use of freight elevators, but these guys saved my day and behaved tactfully as real professionals. I can recommend this company to anyone who cares about quality of office relocation.

Hercules assisted me in moving antique furniture. Igor who arranged the move for me was prompt in returning calls and updating me on timing for pickup and delivery. The drivers both in picking up and delivering were punctual despite bad weather conditions. The employees were very courteous and helpful. All furniture was carefully wrapped and reassembled on delivery. I would not hesitate to recommend Hercules to anyone for a complete move or for speciality moving.

Hercules rescued my move when another Toronto movers cancelled on me days before the big day. They were professional and knew exactly how to protect all of my belongings during the move in terrible rain.

Esther Katz

The Barrie movers arrived on time and impressed me with their friendly and polite demeanour. They completed the move professionally, taking care to pack and protect each of the items to be moved. I was very pleased with the job that was done. I would heartily recommend them for everyone in Ontario.
