Moving Tips

Moving can be a stressful experience. At Winnipeg moving service, we aim to alleviate that stress by providing you with expert tips and advice to ensure a smooth and successful move. From avoiding common mistakes to packing efficiently, we've got you covered.

Avoiding common moving mistakes

One of the most common mistakes people make when moving is not providing enough information for an accurate estimate. To save time and make faster decisions, provide detailed information and pictures of your items. This helps us give you the most accurate price and plan your move effectively.

Packing like a pro

Efficient and safe packing is crucial for a successful move. Here are our top three tips:

  1. Use quality packing materials: Invest in sturdy boxes, bubble wrap, packing paper, and strong tape to protect your belongings.
  2. Label everything clearly: Label each box with its contents and the room it belongs in. This will make unpacking much easier.
  3. Pack strategically: Place heavier items at the bottom of boxes and lighter items on top. Fill empty spaces with packing material to prevent items from shifting during transit.

To hire or not to hire: that is the question

Deciding whether to hire movers or do it yourself is a big decision. Hiring Winnipeg moving service is a great option because we save you time, prevent injuries, and handle your belongings safely and efficiently. Plus, we take responsibility for your items, giving you peace of mind.

Don't forget these crucial steps

Moving involves numerous steps, and it's easy to forget some essential tasks. Here are a few things people often overlook:

  • Before the move: Update your address with Canada Post, notify your bank and utility companies, and pack an essentials box with items you'll need immediately upon arrival.
  • During the move: Keep important documents and valuables with you, take photos of electronics before disconnecting them, and do a final walkthrough of your old home.
  • After the move: Check that all utilities are working at your new home, update your address on your driver's license, and explore your new neighbourhood.
