Packing Tips:

Make sure not to pack too much weight in boxes, keep the books to a minimum because they might injure the movers in addition to making the move take longer and possible damage items that are placed under the boxes.

Use dry pop corn to pack fragile items, it’s both cheap and safe, remember however that pop corn is only suitable from Ottawa to Ottawa moves or anything in Ontario Quebec where the transit time is less than 48 hours.

Close the boxes, open boxes cause damage and make them very difficult to stack for the movers.

Don’t pack clothes in plastic bags ( or any items for that matter) they are difficult to load and tend to rip and get dirty, they are also hard to carry for the movers. For moves from Ottawa to Toronto or further destinations it is recommended that you hire us to do the packing, please contact us for details.
