The fine print, in plain words
- The minimum
- 3 hours for 2 or 3 movers, 4 hours for 4 movers. A small move that takes 2 hours is billed as 3. After the minimum we bill in 15-minute steps.
- Travel time
- The drive from our yard to your first address and from your last address back. Inside the city that is a flat 45 minutes at your crew rate, however far across town you are.
- When the clock runs
- From the moment the crew arrives to the moment the last piece is placed and reassembled. Breaks are off the clock.
- Extra stops
- Picking up from a second address or dropping a few things at storage is fine. It is just more time on the job.
- Paying
- At the end of the move by debit, credit card or e-transfer. No deposit for local moves booked more than 48 hours ahead.

An example worked from our posted rates, not a promise for your move. Your time depends on the things below.
What adds time, and what saves it
Time on the job is the one number you can shape. Most of it comes down to the doors at each end.
Adds time
- Each flight of stairs, at either end
- Parking more than 25 metres from the door
- An elevator that is not booked, or shared with other movers
- Boxes still being packed when the crew arrives
- Heavy pieces like treadmills, pool tables or solid wood armoires
- Furniture that will not fit through a door without coming apart
Saves time
- Book the elevator for a 4-hour window at both buildings
- Hold a parking spot by the door with cones or a car
- Pack, tape and label boxes by room the night before
- Empty fridges and take light bulbs out of lamps
- Tell us about big or awkward pieces when you call
- Have someone at the new place to say where things go
