What should you do if you need to move but also need to do so really quickly? This scenario might jeopardize your ability to find a reputable Toronto, ON moving company that can fit you into their busy schedule. There are some options available, but option #1 is — by far — the best.
Option #1: Professional Moving Company
You can’t beat a professional moving company. One potential problem, however, is that some service providers might not be able to accommodate a rush move. There are some that can do so. But it’s important to know, firstly, that it might take you a while to find a mover who can help you on short notice and, secondly, that you will pay more if you need to move quickly. You might not have a lot of time to book a move if, say, you’re renting a home that the landlord suddenly wants to sell. But those types of situations tend to be the exception rather than the rule.
Option #2: A Few Dudes with a Pickup Truck or Minivan
If you’re desperate and need to find someone to move you, it might be tempting to book with virtually anyone who’ll help. But hiring non-professionals is like rolling dice. Sure, they might do an okay job. But there are a lot of risks you’ll be taking on. Finding some jack-of-all-trades types who have an old, beat-up pickup truck will be a big gamble. Do you really want to take such a gamble on something as important as moving day? Chances are that you don’t. You’re better off trying to work something out with a professional mover, even if you wind up having to pay a bit more.
Option #3: Family and Friends
Another option is to shoulder the job yourself – with the help of family and friends, of course. But it’ll be a lot more work than you might initially realize. You’ll have to book a moving van – and hope that it’s actually available when you need it. As well, you’ll need to hope and pray that people who promise to help don’t call at the last minute to tell you that something came up. It might be more trouble than it’s worth to have to round up enough people to help. Then there’s the possibility of well-meaning family and friends damaging your stuff. This is why it’s always best to stick with the professionals who can get your things from point A to point B in one piece.
