Common questions

Montreal → New York questions

Cross-border pricing depends on the weight or volume of your shipment, the distance between origin and destination, access at both addresses, and the services you add such as packing or storage. Because no two moves are the same, we don't publish a flat rate — we review your inventory and give you a written estimate for your specific move. Larger or more complex homes are usually quoted after a site visit so the numbers hold up on moving day.
