Maninder Chahal

“We had a fantastic experience with Touchwood Movers. We had a couple large pieces of furniture on 3 different floor levels which was moved without a single scratch. It was also done on a fairly tight deadline with short notice, yet the whole process was very easy. Price very reasonable and the movers were nice!”

Key things to consider before relocating:

Eight Weeks Before Moving Day:

1. Start Looking for a Moving Company

Begin by researching various moving companies in your area. Look for companies with good reviews, reasonable rates, and strong reputations. Compare the services offered by different companies. Consider factors like insurance coverage, packing services, and the availability of storage solutions. Read online reviews and ask for references from each company to ensure they have a history of satisfied customers.

2. Plan Which Items to Donate or Sell

Take an inventory of all your possessions. Decide which items you want to keep, donate, or sell. Contact local charities and non-profit organizations to arrange for donation pickups or drop-offs. Organizations like Furniture Bank and Habitat for Humanity GTA are great options. List items you want to sell on platforms like Kijiji, Facebook Marketplace, or Craigslist. 

Four Weeks Before Moving Day:

1. Mail Forwarding

Visit the Canada Post website or your local post office to set up mail forwarding. This service will redirect your mail to your new address for a specified period.

2. Utility Providers

Contact your utility providers (electricity, water, gas, internet, and cable) to schedule the transfer of services to your new home.

3. Measure Spaces

Measure the rooms in your new home to ensure the furniture you plan to buy will fit. This is especially important for large items like sofas, beds, and dining tables.

One Week Before Moving Day:

 1. Finish Packing and Label Items

Pack essential items that you use daily, such as toiletries, kitchenware, and a few sets of clothes, in a separate box. Label this box clearly and keep it easily accessible. Label each box with its contents and the room it belongs to in your new home. Use color-coded labels or markers for easy identification. For example, use blue for the kitchen, red for the bedroom, etc.

2. Apply for a Change of Address

Visit your local post office or go online to the Canada Post website to submit an official change of address form. This will ensure that your mail is forwarded to your new address.

3. Transfer Utility Services

Contact your utility providers (electricity, water, gas, internet, cable, and waste management) to inform them of your move. Schedule disconnection at your current home and reconnection at your new address.

Moving Day:

1. Be Available for Our Movers

  • Be Ready Early: Ensure you're awake and prepared before the movers arrive.
  • Point of Contact: Designate someone to be available throughout the day to answer any questions from the movers.

2. Provide Special Instructions for Your Belongings

  • Communicate Fragility: Clearly indicate which items are fragile and require special handling.
  • Special Instructions: Provide specific instructions for delicate antiques, heavy furniture, valuable electronics, and any unique items needing extra attention or special transport methods.

3. Start Your New Life with Best Wishes from TouchWood Movers

  • Unpack Essentials First: Begin by setting up your bed, kitchen, and essential furniture to make your new house feel like home.
  • Share Your Experience: TouchWood Movers values your feedback. Please share your experience and leave a review to help us improve our services.
  • Stay in Touch: Keep in touch with us for any future moving needs or additional services you may require.

Frequently Asked Moving Questions

Why should I hire professional packers and movers and not do the move myself?

Moving is not an easy task. Depending on the types of your belongings, it can be a fairly technical task that makes trying to do it yourself a very unrecommended idea. Not only does it take significant time and physical effort, it also involves the risk of damage and loss if not done properly. Not to mention, the mental stress that you’d have to endure while planning and executing the whole move. The benefit of hiring a professional moving company like TouchWood Movers is we will do it in much less time than if you tried it with far lower or no risk of damage to your belongings. Like we’ve said once before, think of hiring us not as hiring movers, but hiring ‘peace of mind’

How far in advance should I reserve a move with professional movers?

Moving in the Greater Toronto Area and the surroundings is a very frantic industry. The best advice is to book your movers the day you confirmedly decide you are going to move. However, we realize life throws unexpected curveballs at us now and then. In general, it is more likely to find an available spot during weekdays than weekends, during the first 2-3 weekends of a month than the last weekend of the month and during winter than in summer.

How do you ensure my belongings are safe and protected during the move?

We carry complimentary thick padding to cushion your furniture and other items during loading, unloading and the move itself. We load the truck efficiently and then strap in the belongings so they don’t slip around during the drive. Most importantly, our crew is just very careful in navigating your belongings in and out of tight spaces with no incidents

What are some of the things TouchWood Movers does NOT move?

Pets, livestock, fish, perishable items, indoor plants, hazardous substances, guns and ammunition and other illegal items

How much does it cost to hire TouchWood Movers?

We aim to provide you with our lowest possible moving quote. Given the wide variety of moving services we offer and the relatively large geographical area we serve, our quotes are developed for you specifically. The most common fee structure is an hourly rate provided based on the truck and number of movers allocated to the moving job. For specialized moving, or large houses and commercial moving, we occasionally provide a flat fee quote. In every situation though, you receive honest and transparent pricing with no hidden fees and tricks
