Easy Moving: moving services in Toronto and the metropolitan area since 2001

Easy Moving is a family-owned moving company based in Toronto (Ontario, Canada) that has been operating since 2001. Founded by Yuri, it started with a single truck and one city neighbourhood, and over the years has grown into an operation covering Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), as well as long-distance moves within Canada and cross-border relocations to the United States. The company presents itself as a direct-management alternative: all movers are its own employees, with background checks and prior training, without resorting to temporary labour or rotating subcontractors.

Residential and commercial moving services

The company handles residential and office moves, both local and long-distance. The services it details include:

• House, condo and apartment moves.
• Office moves.
• Long-distance moves throughout Canada.
• International and cross-border moves between Canada and the United States.
• Packing and unpacking service, with materials included at discounted prices and on-site protection of fragile items.
• Furniture disassembly and reassembly: taken apart at pickup and rebuilt at delivery in the same condition.
• Loading and unloading with safety belts and moving equipment.
• Climate-controlled warehouse storage, free for up to 30 days between pickup and delivery.
• Moving equipment rental: boxes and bins, dollies, packing supplies and specialized equipment.
• Vehicle transportation (as part of the move or just the car).

Specialization in bulky and delicate items

Easy Moving offers specific services for items that require special handling. The website lists, among others, the moving of pianos, pool tables, couches, beds, appliances, gym equipment, hospital beds, mattresses, treadmills, vending machines, aquariums, safes, hot tubs and heavy machinery. It also offers a senior moving service.

Rates and booking options

The company offers two pricing options for local moves in Toronto: an hourly rate with crew and truck, and a flat rate calculated from the inventory and move details. The site's catalogue listed the following rates, expressed in Canadian dollars (CAD) before tax (HST):

• Standard service: 2 professionals + truck, 119 CAD/hour, recommended for 1- to 2-bedroom apartments, condos, townhouses and small homes. One-time fee of 159 CAD.
• Larger-volume move: 3 professionals + truck, 189 CAD/hour, for homes with 3 or more bedrooms, heavier inventory and large family moves. One-time fee of 199 CAD.
• Flat rate: price confirmed before pickup, calculated according to inventory, route and service requirements.

Hourly rates for local moves include truck, moving blankets, dollies, straps and basic equipment. For the flat rate, the list of items, pickup and delivery addresses and access details are requested. The company also has a moving calculator on its website.

Geographic coverage

Easy Moving serves Toronto and the GTA, with coverage in areas such as Downtown Toronto, North York, Scarborough and Etobicoke. The website also lists numerous localities in Ontario (Barrie, Belleville, Bolton, Cambridge, Chatham-Kent, Guelph, Haldimand County, Hamilton, Innisfil, Kawartha Lakes, Kitchener, London, New Tecumseth, Niagara Falls, Norfolk County, Orangeville, Orillia, Peterborough, Quinte West, Sarnia, Sault Ste. Marie, St. Catharines, St. Thomas, Stratford, Thunder Bay, Timmins, Waterloo, Welland, Windsor and Woodstock, among others) and in the metropolitan area (Ajax, Aurora, Bradford West Gwillimbury, Brampton, Burlington, Caledon, Clarington, Georgina, Halton Hills, Markham, Milton, Mississauga, Newmarket, Oakville, Oshawa, Pickering, Richmond Hill, Stouffville, Vaughan and Whitby). It also runs long-distance routes between Toronto and destinations in Alberta, British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, as well as international moves to and from the United States, with detailed routes to states such as New York, Florida, Illinois, Massachusetts, California, Texas and others.

Insurance and guarantees

The company states that every move includes no-deductible insurance coverage of up to 45,000 Canadian dollars for items and furniture, and up to 1,000,000 Canadian dollars of property protection at the pickup and delivery locations. Comprehensive transit insurance is built into the base quote and is not offered as an add-on. Easy Moving states that it provides a fixed quote before pickup, with no hidden charges, and that it logs time-in and time-out in front of the client; if the pre-move estimate covers the job, the company absorbs any overrun.

Equipment and operations

The company details the equipment each truck carries before leaving the depot: two heavy-duty appliance dollies, one utility dolly, more than 20 quilted moving blankets, tie-down straps and a full disassembly tool kit. Work crews consist of 2 or 3 trained movers, and the company emphasizes that it does not send a single person making solo trips.

Track record and reputation

Since its founding in 2001, Easy Moving has focused on continuous improvement, a principle the company sums up with the Japanese word kaizen. The firm presents itself as BBB (Better Business Bureau) accredited and has accumulated more than 339 Google reviews. Its management team consists of people who were directly involved in building the business, not outside managers.
