For a 19 year old college student, a 32 year old moving to a new city or an empty-nester downsizing to a condo, moving can be a heavy task at hand. But age is just a number when you have a plan and book safely a white-glove furniture delivery service in Toronto.

   

Excitement, sadness, anxiety, anticipation or other mixed feelings can show up when moving to a new place as much as they vary for a college student, new resident in Toronto or a senior moving to a  community out of the Greater Toronto area.

For a college or University student in studies, some students graduate in December and must prepare to join the working class or move back to their parents' home. Finding a home to rent can be a daunting task with the type of vacancy rate and cost of rent in Toronto and surrounding cities. The affordable budget can also determine whether you'll move alone or seek a roommate, another heavy task at hand when  moving to a new home.

The new grad also thinks about employment, whether it is a job, freelancing or starting a business. With interim lock downs, remote work, downsizing of companies and many small and large businesses anticipated to close, potential roll out of Universal basic income, there are a lot of things to consider. Booking a furniture delivery service can take away some of the heavy task and planning for a move.

To think about picking the favorable furniture at the best deal whether on Amazon, Ikea or Kijiji, furniture delivery, assembling furniture and finding the right accessories is another world of decision making process in moving to a new home.

With all this in mind and varied circumstances for individuals, couples or families, here are 7 basic steps that make your move and furniture delivery easier:

- A financial budget for moving expenses, items and other living expenses once settled

- A moving checklist to stay on top of your plan

- Safe lifting in heavy tasks like furniture, large loads or boxes to avoid back, shoulder or neck injuries

- Safe packing and moving of fragile items and pieces

- Condos and apartment buildings - book your elevator for moving day in advance to avoid delay in enjoying your new home

- For pets or children, planning ahead of time to have a pet sitter or child care and have an easier moving day experience

What if you don't want a full moving service and just a moving helper? Can you hire someone to help you load and unload your furniture and boxes?

When hiring professional movers in Toronto, the average cost of moving within local boundaries can cost between $300 to $1,500  depending on the size of the move. 

The best moving services in Toronto may cost a bit more, though they will handle your furniture and items with care, with the peace of mind knowing your contents are transported with safety.
