What are the most important qualities to look for in a moving company?
The number of years a mover has been in business is usually a very good indicator of how good they are at keeping their promises. It’s been 10+ years for us! And like any reputable moving company, we provide you with a free in-home estimate and will offer a variety of services, including pick up, delivery, packing and unpacking, crating, appliance servicing and special handling.
How far in advance should I schedule my move?
You should schedule your move as soon as you have determined a firm date.
What day/date is best to move?
Moves are performed during any day of the week. However, moving during the last week/weekend of the summer months are typically the busiest.
Do you have storage facilities?
Yes we do!
How much will my move cost?
The cost of your long distance move (a move greater than 241 kilometres or 150 miles) is based on the weight of the items being moved and the distance they will be travelling. Your estimate will outline all services your move will include with their associated cost.
A local move (a move equal to or less than 241 kilometres or 150 miles) is priced on an hourly basis. The cost of your move is calculated by the amount of time it will take to pack, load and deliver your shipment and the amount of labour required. Travel time to and from your residence is also included.
Do you bring pads to protect the furniture?
Any items that are not packed into cartons will be wrapped in quilted furniture pads to ensure that they are protected.
When will the movers arrive on moving day?
A: Time should be confirmed one day before load date by a Marla team member.
What can I expect on delivery?
Upon arrival at destination, the Driver will provide you with an Inventory Listing called a Bingo Sheet. The crew will call out the item number as they bring an item into the house. It is your responsibility to check off the item on the Bingo Sheet to ensure everything is accounted for. Any loss or damage should be noted on the Driver’s copy of the Inventory Listing in the section called Exceptions on Delivery.
