Small Moves

Small moves in Halifax

A couch from Kijiji, a bedroom set for your daughter's first apartment, a storage unit to empty. No move is too small. Two movers and a truck, and most are done inside the two-hour minimum.

How it works

Plenty of movers won't quote a job this size, or they bury it under a four-hour minimum. We like small moves. They fit between bigger jobs, which is why we can often do them on short notice. You get the same two movers, the same truck, blankets and straps as a full house move.

A small move is usually a single piece of furniture, a few big items, one room, a student's room, or a storage unit. If you already have a truck or a van and only need the lifting done, book helpers on their own and pay by the hour with no truck charge.

A few items or one room questions

One item. A couch, a fridge, a treadmill. The two-hour minimum applies, so it is $385 plus HST with the truck, and you can use the rest of the time for anything else that needs moving.
$385 plus HST covers two movers and the truck for the first two hours, which is enough for most small moves inside the city. After that it is $99 an hour. With your own vehicle, helpers are $99 an hour with a two-hour minimum.
Yes. Put the seller's address as the pickup. Tell us what it is and whether it needs taking apart, and make sure someone is there to hand it over.
Yes. Anywhere in Nova Scotia is priced from the distance, and the published routes have flat prices. For a single piece going a long way, ask us first; sometimes we can fit it on a trip that is already going.
Not as part of the move just now. Ask us when you book and we'll suggest the quickest local option.
