Consider Our Useful Tips On Your Moving Day
Your moving day can be stress free and smooth if you plan ahead before moving to your new home or community. There are several ways to make your moving day free of frustrations. If you are wondering what to do on this stressful day, We-Haul Movers is here to help. Located in Montreal, Quebec Canada, we are considered one of the best moving companies in Quebec. Our professional services will ensure that your furniture and house items reach your new destination safe. The following are some of our moving tips that will give you and your family an exciting time when packing up for a new house:
- Draft a List
To avoid the frustration of finding important items from cardboard packages on arrival at your new home, it would be advisable to make a numbered list of all your items. Ensure that all your boxes are numbered and that you write the contents of each box on your list. Box numbers should correspond to the numbers on your list. Being specific on what is packed in the box is easy to remember than using general words like “miscellaneous”. In another instance, chronological order for naming files like “A-C Files” would be more specific rather than “Files”. Box numbering makes it easy to identify any losses or damages.
- Safeguard Your Valuables
Don’t be tempted to make it obvious where your valuables like jewelry or antiques are packed. Important papers like current bank records, passports, ownership papers, mover estimates, recent bills, birth certificates, phone lists and school records among other documents should not be left with the mover. Keep your valued possessions in your vehicle when moving.
- Organize
Staying organized is an important aspect we recommend to our clients. If you are using We-Haul Movers services, a clear direction on access to your new home would be very helpful. In addition to this, providing a floor plan to your moving firm is essential as it ensures that your furniture and boxes are places in the correct rooms. Choose different colored stickers for each room and label them on doors. The label’s color should correspond to the boxes that will be placed in the room. That way, movers will conveniently place boxes as guided.
- On Arrival Inspection
Arrival at your new home is quite relieving, however, before you call it a day, you should inspect if all your listed boxes, furniture and fixtures are present and in good order. Just incase one or several of your items are missing, now is the time to make sure everything has arrived.
Planning ahead of your moving day will make the process manageable and save you enough time to unwind and enjoy your new home! Read through our moving advice for great tips to prepare for your move.

I had a last minute move, same day, and I was lucky enough that Ericson fit me in. I only had a small apartment move so a truck was not needed and he sent over one of his movers, Rinor, to help me out with his personal vehicle. Rinor was friendly, efficient and pleasant and we got the move done in very little time.

Had to rush to find some movers and these guys were available and responsive so I booked with them. Two movers were able to get everything done in about 2 hours. They were very to-the-point, communicated clearly, and were super chill despite the stress of moving. They even disassembled my desk and reassembled it quickly and efficiently without losing any parts. Really satisfied with the service.

5 stars is not enough! I was dreading my move as I'd badly hurt my back shortly before my move day, but these guys handled EVERYTHING.They were speedy, on time, super-efficient, and delivered everything in great shape.On top of it all, Eric, Herman & Andrew were wonderful, polite, and extremely hard-working.I will be hiring them again for the rest of my life!

Avoid at all costs. Ericson is extremely unprofessional. After I had to cancel my move unexpectedly because the other tenants hadn't left yet, he wouldn't accept that I needed to cancel and wanted payment. He hadn't asked for a deposit and there was no cancellation fee discussed, so I wasn't going to pay him for nothing. Instead of accepting the cancellation and handling it professionally, he called us at 6am and argued relentlessly with me on the phone until we had no choice but to hang up on him and warn him not show up, because by that point my husband and I were seriously concerned he'd show up banging down our door. He sent a registered letter to our new address about a month later demanding payment or he'd take legal action. What a joke. The worst experience I've ever had with a business!Edited in response to the owner: Hi Ericson, I called you the night before and left you a voicemail. I had only just learned myself that I couldn't move the next day as scheduled. You called me at 6am when you got the message. There was no deposit or cancellation fee, so of course I wasn't going to pay you hundreds of dollars for not coming. We could have just rescheduled the move. But, you chose to make a stressful situation even worse.

We Haul Movers went above and beyond to provide excellent service. I had to make some complicated arrangements in order to move my belongings to a storage unit while I was out of town, but Eric was extremely helpful and understanding. He provided frequent updates so I could be sure my things were safe every step of the way even though I couldn't be there in person.

Erik and Olivier were friendly, efficient, professional, and clearly knew what they were doing. What was quoted as a 3 or 4 hour job by other companies was done in 2 with these guys. Would recommend their service strongly for anyone looking for a seamless and stressless move.

We Haul Movers were did my move so cheerfully and quickly. Everything I was carrying around my house crumpled over, they seemed to lift with ease and in multiples!! They were nice to my cats, provided supplies, and brought tools to deal with the difficult layouts of Montreal living. I had a super big commercial printer to move, that was maybe more heavy than what the paperwork cited, but they managed wonderfully and carefully. Thank you, Stretch, Papi, and ManX!

We Haul Movers did a great job getting our furniture and appliances moved from our apartment over to our new house. They worked hard, they moved quickly, and all of our things arrived at our house in great condition too. We will definitely be using We Haul Movers again, as well as recommending them to everybody else we know who needs help moving.

I had to start work on the 8th of April and ended up getting a small apartment. I didn’t realize until I arrived on Friday the 5th that there wasn’t an elevator and that I would have to go up 3 flights of stairs. I came from a 6+ hour drive from Waterloo, Ontario so, as you can imagine, I was incredibly sore and tired. On the 6th of April I called We Haul Movers and got the number of a man named Ian (aka Stretcho). He came on such short notice and not only carried the heaviest luggages, boxes, and bags and climbed 3 flights of stairs each time but did it with a smile. I tried to help but had a bad back that was made worse with the drive. I asked him if I could call him again if I had anything else to move up and he was so welcoming to the idea. Ian is indeed a strong man but what surprised me most was his humble childlike spirit. God bless him for all his help. I was able to set up my computer for work and I’m now all settled in. Without him I would have gone up and down the stairs that day one single item at a time (You see I booked the whole day for the move in, but Ian completed the job in less than 2 hours). Thank you kindly Ian, I think it’s time you are made employee of the year (you are indeed one of a kind).

Never did I think that moving could be FUN!!!Not only were our movers on time, efficient, and conscientious, they were also upbeat, friendly and FUN! Ian especially brightened the mood of everyone involved and had us all working together like a well-oiled machine (and laughing and exclaiming "Oohh Yeahh" the whole time!). The move was over in record time thanks to their hard work and professionalism. But we were having such a good time, we hated to see them go! Thank you so much for making our move a fun and stress-free experience!!

Honest, hardworking and were available in extremely short notice. `Very please (and relieved) at their prices and managed to work in difficult conditions. They were always pleasant and when they got stuck due to difficult road conditions, they did not charge me. What they quoted, is what I paid. Will definitely use them again.

Ericson and his moving team are not only professional, extremely careful and courteous with your possessions, but are genuinely good people to be around. Ericson seems to hire people who he deems to have good character, and he seems really good seeing those great traits in people. Not only that, but he manages moves like a maestro at the orchestra, with a touch of militaristic style. They arrive on time (or earlier), and get the job done like every single moment counts.Ericson is just the kind of guy you feel like you could have a drink and chat with sometime, too. Kudos to being a genuine, caring person to your clients. I really appreciate how somehow amongst the madness of moving stress, he manages to drop some completely tangential conversation into the mix, which lightens the mood (without wasting a moment's time, I might add). Honestly, these guys are great. It's our second move with them, and they are brilliant.Moving is always back-breaking work and these people make it look easy. Thank you (again) for the great move.
