Moving terms of service.
Quoting work
All jobs need to be quoted prior to booking, this will be done by a member of ownership or management after an in person and video walk through has been reviewed.
Pricing
All work will be quoted transparently based on all relevant factors.
Travel,
Weight of move,
Time,
Stairs,
And other miscellaneous components all contribute to the quote.
Estimating a quote
A 2 bedroom move from Barrie to Wasaga beach for example could run as little as $850, we won’t know for sure until we have done our quote. If all furniture is light and boxes are in modest quantity, maybe we could do better, contact us to find out!
Trucks
Trucks are currently being rented for all medium and large moves; Uhual has a 48 hour cancellation opportunity. They have assured us this is an extremely rare and irregular occurrence. But this is something to be aware of when utilsing our service. We do work with other rental companies and back up plans are always within the planning and consideration of our work and clients.
Insurance
We always have insurance on our trucks, and individual cars, but we do not insure the move or movers unless otherwise agreed upon. Any liability remains with the individual parties. Each mover is responsible for themselves as independent contractors unless otherwise noted. Items packed without weight considerations will be left within the liability of the client. Additional protection moves are available as discussed and agreed upon before the start of a move.
Before you look into moving insurance, it’s important to call your home insurer and ask if items in transit are covered. This could be additional protection for you that you have already paid for.
Additional services we can add into our agreements designed to make your move a little easier.
