Moving companies in Canada make it easier for
you to move from one home or office to another
with considerable ease and expertise.
Moving companies in Canada serve the purpose of
lessening the effort and stress involved in moving
furniture and articles of value from one destination
to another. Reputable moving companies in Canada
base their services on the "Good Practice
Guidelines for Canadian Movers" developed
under the leadership of Canada's Office of Consumer
Affairs with input from a group of stakeholders
in the moving industry sector. Besides the Guidelines
there also is a Consumer Checklist that was developed
so that individuals can select the right moving
company.
Important aspects of the Good Practice Guidelines
for Canadian movers are:
- Moving companies in Canada must have detailed
pamphlets or handouts that indicate the geographic
areas they operate in, the kind of moving services
they offer and rates for different services.
- Moving companies must clearly indicate in
writing their shipping costs and other incidental
expenses.
- Moving companies in Canada must pack all
items and tag them, especially items that have
to be moved over a long distance.
- Moving companies that charge freight costs
on the basis of the weight of the packages must
ensure that these are weighed according to certified
weight scales.
- Once the moving process is over, moving companies
are required to provide the consumer with a
detailed invoice and bill of the objects transferred
to the consumer.
