💰 Moving Rates & Binding Estimates

How are moving costs calculated for local vs long distance moves?

Local moves within Ontario (e.g., Norval, Brampton, Mississauga, Toronto, Oakville) are calculated based on clear hourly rates for the crew size (2, 3, or 4 movers) and truck capacity required. Long-distance moves cross-province or into the US feature binding flat-rate estimates calculated from total shipment weight or volume plus mileage.

Are there any hidden fees or stair surcharges?

No. Maple Freight System provides 100% transparent, itemized moving quotes. All furniture blankets, floor runners, shrink wrap, dollies, and fuel charges are explicitly detailed upfront with zero surprise surcharges on move day.

📦 Packing Services & Materials

What packing materials do your movers supply?

Our full packing service includes heavy-duty double-walled corrugated boxes, wardrobe boxes with metal hanging bars, newsprint wrapping paper, bubble cushioning, mattress plastic bags, and custom wooden crating built on-site for glass tops and artwork.

Do I need to empty my dresser drawers before moving?

Light non-fragile clothing (socks, t-shirts) can remain inside sturdy wooden dresser drawers. Heavy items, books, papers, or fragile items must be packed into moving boxes to prevent drawer damage during transit.

🛡️ Insurance, COI & Building Compliance

What moving insurance options do you provide?

As a fully licensed CAM-certified carrier, we provide standard Released Value Protection (included at no added cost) as well as optional Full-Value Protection insurance covering full replacement value of high-value furniture and electronics.

Can you issue a Certificate of Insurance (COI) for condo property management?

Yes! We issue official Certificates of Insurance (COI) naming your condo board or commercial building manager free of charge prior to your move date.

🌎 Cross-Border & Moving Vaults

How does climate-controlled vault moving work?

Your belongings are loaded directly into sealed wooden moving equipment at your home and transported to our 100,000+ sq ft Norval terminal. The facility is 100% temperature-controlled with 24/7 video monitoring and WMS inventory tracking.
