GENERAL TIME ESTIMATES

The following list represents estimated times required for standard moves. These estimates are for reference purposes only; actual move times may vary based on factors like building access, parking location, and number of flights of stairs.
These time estimates do not include flat travel time of one hour.
The hourly rate for our moving crew depends on the number of movers and trucks needed for each job. We strive to assign the optimal team size to ensure both cost efficiency and high productivity. For local moves starting in Ottawa, we charge a flat travel time of one hour, followed by hourly charges from when we begin unloading at your new location until the move is fully completed. If your move involves multiple pick-up or drop-off points, our clock starts when we leave our office in Ottawa and stops once everything is unloaded at your final destination.
A local move, by our standards, is any move that starts and ends within a 25-kilometer radius of Ottawa’s City Hall. This applies to moves within Ottawa and is based on the crew traveling by the fastest route. Local move fees include a standard one-hour charge for travel time at the contracted rate. This charge covers the cost of getting the crew to the job, refueling, and returning to the office after completion.
For example:
You hire a 2-man moving crew at $150/hour to move your belongings. Your move starts in Nepean at 9:00 AM. Your crew finishes unloading at your new home in Nepean 5 minute away from old address at 1:00 PM. The elapsed time for your move is 4 hours. The total time billed for would be 5 hours (the elapsed time for your move plus one hour for travel time to/from your location). Your bill totals to 5 hours x $150 = $750 + tax.

Binding Estimates

With a Written Binding Estimate for your move, the price we quote is the price you pay! A Written Binding Estimate is the correct legal term for a “flat” price, as opposed to an hourly estimate. An on-site moving estimate is required in order for Upmove to provide a Written Binding Estimate and is based on the inventory of goods to be moved and services to be provided. As we have an opportunity to physically evaluate the goods, we are able to offer a flat price. If inventory of items changes during the move, Upmove will recalculate and provide a revised estimate. A flat rate is usually 15% to 20% higher then an hourly rate.

Basic Disassembly/Reassembly

Basic disassembly of items such as simple bed frames (without drawers) and dining tables is included in the regular hourly moving rate. Movers will not disassemble any item with electrical connections, like treadmills or refrigerators with electrical parts. You are charged only the straight hourly rate for all labor services, with no additional surcharges for basic disassembly. However, there may be an extra fee for reassembly of these items; please contact our representative for more information.

Advanced Disassembly/Reassembly

Disassembly and reassembly of items such as wardrobes, built-in armoires and some wall units is completed by a furniture specialist. There is an extra charge for these services. Please speak to your project manager should you require such services, as Upmoves representative may need to view the items prior to the move to estimate the cost and work required.
Extra heavy items
Upmove may charge extra fee for items over 150 lbs (e.g. big treadmills, safes, over sized file cabinets, marble tables, double door fridges, front loaded washers) if those items need to be moved up or down stairs.
If no stairs are involved, addition fee is not applicable.
Items over 275 LB (pianos, pool tables, over size safes, machinery, commercial kitchen equipment) can only be moved from main level to main level and will be charged a flat fee of $250 due to high liability costs.
Please inform our representative if you have items that require special handling before your moving day. Additional movers or a truck with a lift gate may be necessary.

Frequently Asked
Question

How much will my move cost?

Please check our pricing page here

Where can I get moving boxes?

You can find moving boxes in several places. Here are some options:

1. First of all, our moving company Upmove offers a full range of services for packing and unpacking your belongings during the move.  We have a wide range of boxes of any size, shape and size.  Just call 343-988-08-97 and we will select the best and most suitable for you.

2. Online Retailers: Websites offer a wide range of moving boxes and supplies that can be conveniently delivered to your doorstep. You can browse through their selection, read reviews and choose the boxes that best fit your needs.

3. Grocery Stores: Local grocery stores often have an abundance of cardboard boxes available. These boxes may not be specifically designed for moving but they can still serve the purpose. Just make sure to choose sturdy boxes with intact flaps and avoid using boxes that have contained perishable items.

4. Liquor Stores: Liquor stores are known for their durable boxes due to the nature of their products. These boxes are typically smaller in size making them ideal for packing heavy items like books or kitchenware. You can ask the store staff if they have any extra boxes available.

5. Freecycle or Community Groups: Online platforms like Freecycle or community groups on social media often have people giving away moving boxes for free. These boxes may have been used before but they can still be useful for your move.

6. Office Supply Stores: Office supply stores often sell cardboard boxes mainly used for shipping and storing documents. While they may not be specifically designed for moving household items they can still work well for lighter belongings.

Remember to check the quality of the boxes before using them. Look for boxes that are clean sturdy and can withstand the weight of your belongings. Additionally consider obtaining packing supplies like bubble wrap packing tape and marker pens to ensure a smooth and organized moving process.

How accurate will my moving cost be?

The estimates provided by most moving companies are typically non-binding in nature. This implies that the final cost of your move can deviate to a certain degree or even significantly differ from the original estimate. To ensure that your move aligns closely with the estimated cost it is crucial to provide as much detailed information as possible during the estimation process. By doing so you enable the moving company to make an accurate projection based on an hourly rate.

It's important to note that if a significant aspect of your move is neglected or not mentioned during the estimation it doesn't imply that the cost will automatically be lower. Rather it means that the moving crew might not be adequately prepared to handle that particular aspect. They might arrive with fewer movers trucks or equipment than originally required which could potentially lead to increased costs. As you are billed based on the duration of the move if the actual moving process takes less time than initially estimated your final bill will reflect accordingly reduced charges.

As First Rate Movers we strive to provide responsible and conservative estimates to our customers. Moreover we often complete moves within a shorter timeframe than initially projected. This approach not only ensures transparency in our pricing but also delivers efficient and prompt service to our valued clients.
