What Our Clients Say
Read verified Google feedback from customers who trusted Relocation Engineers with their move.
Why the moving industry's "hourly rate" is a trap.
When movers bill by the hour, they profit from slowness, bad weather, gridlock on the Gardiner, and elevator delays. Here is how our engineering model eliminates that friction.
- Incentivized to move slowly: Slower crews, longer breaks, and traffic jams generate higher profits for the company.
- Surprise fees added on moving day: Hidden stair charges, heavy item fees, and fuel surcharges invoiced after loading.
- Untrained day-labour: Unvetted, temporary workers who lack professional packing skills and damage prevention techniques.
- Hostage situations: Demanding cash payments or inflated totals before releasing your belongings from the truck.
- 100% Binding Flat Price: Your quote is locked in beforehand based on inventory scope. If the move takes 8 hours instead of 5, your bill never changes.
- All-Inclusive Scope: Blankets, wardrobe boxes, mattress bags, floor runners, and elevator padding are built into the quote.
- In-House Moving Academy: Every technician is direct staff, background-checked, and certified on handling fragile and bulky goods.
- Audited Industry Standing: Certified Canadian Mover (CAM), verified WSIB workers comp, and active US interstate carrier authority.
