Newfoundland Moving Company

It's never easy to move, but choosing a good moving company can help reduce the stress and give you peace of mind that your possessions are going to be handled carefully and arrive successfully and on time at your new home. Whether you're moving down the street or across Canada from Newfoundland, a good mover is essential.

How to select a moving company in Newfoundland

There are a lot of moving companies to choose from and it gets overwhelming trying to decide which one is best for you and your family. Fortunately, we have some tips to help you choose a mover that will work well for you.

1. Talk with multiple moving companies. You might be tempted to hire the first moving company you talk with, but that's not a good business move. It's wiser to get at least three estimates before making your final decision. Don't just negotiate over the phone. The mover needs to actually see your possessions to be able to give you an accurate estimate.
   
2. Don't make your decision solely based on price. While the cost of the move is undeniably important, it's just one of several factors to consider when choosing a moving company. You'll also want to look at the company's experience, their reputation, and what services they offer.
   
3. Ask about their professional credentials. Moving companies aren't required to be licensed by the government as they are in the United States. However, you can still get an idea about the company's reliability by asking about their BBB report or requesting names of satisfied customers in your area.

How much do movers typically cost in Newfoundland?

It's difficult to generalize when it comes to moving costs. There are just so many factors that help determine the price. For example, one person's one-bedroom apartment might have few possessions; another person might include their (heavy) book collection and lots of pottery.

The final price of your move will depend on whether you're moving locally or to another province; how many possessions you'll be moving; what additional services, such as packing and storage, you'll need; the total weight of your possessions; and whether you have items that require special handling, such as a piano.

Despite all of those factors, the average cost of a local move in Canada for someone who lives in a one-bedroom apartment is between $600 and $800. A person who lives in a three-bedroom house will pay an average of $1200 to $1600 for a local move.

Long-distance moves are even more difficult to estimate, since the mover will also factor time and distance into the quote.
