How do I get a moving quote?

You can request a free, no-obligation quote online, by phone, or by email. To provide an accurate estimate, we'll ask for details about your move, including:

  • Pickup and delivery addresses
  • Moving date
  • Type of move
  • Estimated inventory
  • Access conditions (stairs, elevators, long carries, etc.)
  • Specialty items
  • Packing or storage requirements

The more information you provide, the more accurate your estimate will be.

Are your quotes free?

Yes. All estimates are provided free of charge with no obligation.

Is my quote guaranteed?

Unless specifically stated in writing as a fixed-price move, all quotations are estimates only.

Final charges are based on the actual services performed, including labour, time, inventory, travel, access conditions, waiting time, specialty handling, equipment used, and any additional services requested.

Customers are responsible for arranging elevator reservations, loading dock access, parking permits, and any approvals required by their building or property manager before moving day.

Do you move in bad weather?

Yes.

Our crews operate year-round. However, severe weather or unsafe road conditions may require scheduling adjustments for safety reasons.

Are you insured?

Yes.

Moving Champs Canada carries commercial insurance and exercises reasonable care while handling your belongings.

Our liability for loss or damage is governed by the valuation coverage selected by the customer and applicable law. Customers with high-value or irreplaceable belongings are encouraged to obtain additional insurance coverage through their own insurance provider if desired.

What if my move is completed by one of your partner carriers?

Moving Champs Canada works with a network of qualified moving companies, carriers, and owner-operators throughout Canada.

Where operationally necessary, all or part of your move may be performed by an approved third-party carrier.

When this occurs, the carrier performing the move is responsible for the transportation of your goods and for maintaining the insurance, licensing, and liability coverage applicable to the services they provide.

Any claims relating to loss or damage will be handled in accordance with that carrier's valuation coverage, insurance policy, applicable laws, and claims procedures.

Moving Champs Canada carefully selects its partners to meet our operational standards; however, insurance coverage, liability limits, and claims procedures are governed by the carrier performing the move.

What happens if something is damaged?

Customers should inspect their belongings before the moving crew leaves.

Visible damage or missing items should be reported immediately.

Written claims must be submitted within 5 Working days after completion of the move.

Moving Champs Canada or the carrier performing the move reserves the right to inspect, repair, replace, or otherwise resolve any valid claim before compensation is considered.

Do you offer storage?

Yes.

We can arrange short-term and long-term storage solutions, subject to availability.

Can I cancel or reschedule?

Yes.

We understand that plans can change.

Deposits may be partially or fully non-refundable depending on the amount of notice provided and the cancellation terms included with your booking.

Rescheduling requests are subject to availability and may be subject to additional charges.
