When is the best
time to move?
If there is a choice, most companies suggest you to
avoid the summer, beginning or end of the month or winter holidays.
The heaviest demands are placed on trucks, equipment and personnel
during these periods.
However, you should move when it’s
most convenient for you. Factors involved in the decision may
include:
• Whether the move must be made
immediately.
• Transferring children during the school term.
• Separation of the family while the move is under way.
If the move can be scheduled for a time
when trucks and personnel are most readily available, we’ll
be better equipped to meet your preferred delivery schedule.
How long does it take to move?
It depends on many factors, including the time of the
year, weather conditions, time required to load and unload, and
the direction and distance your shipment is traveling. Pick-up
and delivery dates are usually scheduled according to your needs.
What
type of truck and equipment should I expect from Move4Less?
Move4Less provides quality transportation
on fully equipped, professional moving trucks. These trucks are
equipped with furniture blankets (to prevent scratches), dollies
(to transfer furniture and boxes), and loading ramps (to decrease the amount
of loading and unloading time).
How we determine travel time?
Travel time is ”the time it takes for crew to
travel to your origin from their dispatch, and return trip upon
completion”. Travel time is not the time it takes to travel
from your old apartment to your new apartment; that is part of
the work time. Move4Less determines total travel
time (1 hour flat for moves in Toronto). Some movers will charge
you the exact time it takes; the “start time” shown
on the contract will show the time the crew left the terminal
to go to your old address, and will charge for the return trip.
What is the minimum charge?
Most
companies have a minimum number of work hours. Move4Less
has three hours (2 hours of labour plus 1 hour traveling
time).
When should I call a moving company?
The earlier, the better. Depending on the time of the
year, we could possibly accommodate you within a week. Please
call our office and ask about availability if you need move on
short notice.
How much will my move cost?
Basic charges depend on the amount of space used in
the trailer, the distance your shipment travels and a 9% fuel
charge.
How and when should I pay?
Tariff provisions require that all charges be paid before
your shipment is unloaded at destination. Payment for your move
can be made by one of the following methods: cash, money order,
certified check, cashier’s check, credit card (note that 5% surcharge for credit card will apply). Personal or company
checks are not accepted.
Do I tip the movers?
Like all over service businesses, movers generally receive
a gratuity upon completion. You should never feel pressured into
giving at tip.

Move4Less provide services for
large household moves?

size move you may have. Big or Small We Move Them All!!!
