Packing & Unpacking

Toronto’s Top Movers: 11-Time HomeStars Award Winner
Packing and moving go hand in hand! Rent-a-Son provides professional packing services in addition to our award-winning moving service – whether it be a full packaging of all of your items, a selected package of fragile or breakable items or a single box.

Nice Guys, Pro Movers

We can accurately estimate the amount of time and labour you will need as well as make recommendations for supplies and materials to properly package your possessions. With a large assortment of packing materials and supplies, our packers can pack any item for you. Our estimators will work with you to collect the necessary information and determine the best way to proceed that works for your busy schedule and needs. We also offer personalized crating services for your speciality items where we will build a custom wooden storage box specifically for the piece.

Packing Service

As Toronto’s best moving company, we understand that you have a busy schedule and may not have the time to complete the tedious task of packing and boxing all of your possessions.

Our Toronto packers will show up on time and bring all of the supplies and equipment necessary to complete the work as a standard part of our commitment to great customer service. Our packing teams undergo rigorous training and have the know-how to expertly pack any item with ease, no matter the size or shape.

What’s more, Rent-a-Son will be responsible for any damage to your items that is caused by the packing process. These additional packing services work to provide you with the best possible moving experience and are just one of the reasons why we come so highly recommended by our previous customers. We offer this packing service for local and long-distance moving in Toronto through our expert Pro Movers.

Unpacking Service

As part of our local packing service, we also offer an unpacking service for our customers. You can opt for a countertop unpack, where our skilled unpackers will unbox your items and place them on the nearest surface in the room of your choice. This option allows you to decide exactly where you want your items in your new home. We also offer a put-away service where the crew will unpack your boxes and arrange the items accordingly with instructions you provide.

In either case, we will be sure to remove the used supplies and materials from your home so you can set up your new home with as little disruption as possible. Unpacking can be arranged for your moving day or can be scheduled for a different date, depending on what works best for you. Our Pro Movers offer this unpacking service for both local and long-distance moving in Toronto.

Supplies

As part of our packing services in Toronto, we will bring everything you need to pack up your prized possessions, upon request. If you choose for us to bring the supplies, you will only be billed for what is actually used on the day of packing and all unused materials will be returned to our warehouse. That way, we can ensure that we always have everything we need on hand to avoid delays while making sure you aren’t unfairly charged. We also offer a wide range of specialty boxes to facilitate all of your unique packing needs. Check out our supplies and materials page here.

Detailed Estimation Process

Our estimates are so accurate that they fall within 1% of the actual invoice, on average!

In order to provide you with a detailed and accurate estimate for our services, we perform a comprehensive assessment of your needs prior to your moving day. We will work together to collect inventory of the items you need moved using either an online form or a virtual survey of your home. While we do require you to complete these simple steps ahead of your moving day, it will ensure that we have a realistic and uncomplicated plan that you are happy with. As well, these steps will guarantee we have everything set up in the best possible way to avoid any surprises on moving day — both for you and your crew.

Frequently Asked Questions

We offer both packing and unpacking services. This includes bringing the materials necessary to get the job done, and packing your items in a way that ensures there are no accidents during the move.

With unpacking, our team will either unpack your boxes and put them on the nearest countertop, or you can use our put-away service where our skilled workers arrange your items according to your instructions.

This depends on how much there is to pack. Our team of movers are trained to be fast and efficient and do this work day in, day out. You can count on them to do the job properly.

This is up to you. You can do it yourself, or you can hire us to not only move everything in for you, but to put it where you want. This saves you the trouble of figuring out where you want your belongings when you first move in.

It depends on how much there is to pack and unpack. We charge by the hour and offer competitive pricing with any other moving company in the area. And we always guarantee satisfaction.

It is entirely up to you. Our team has a process they use that works best for them, but there is no right or wrong way. We can offer you tips on how to organize your move. It is best to pack and label all your boxes by room and make sure the boxes aren’t too heavy.
