Plan your Whitby move
Photograph connections before packing
Take a clear picture of your desk setup and label the cables you plan to reconnect. Pack accessories together and keep your laptop, essential data and personal documents with you. Tell the team about monitor arms, glass desks and large screens. Describe which furniture needs disassembly rather than assuming the equipment and desk travel as one unit.
Arrange furniture before small boxes
Decide where the desk, bed and other large pieces will sit at the destination. Keep those spaces open so cartons do not have to be moved twice. Label office boxes for the right room and identify any piece that needs reassembly. Check the entrance width and stairs for the wide desk sections before the loading plan is agreed.
Keep a first-day kit separate
Set aside chargers, everyday medication, a change of clothes and the items needed for your first working day. Those belongings should not disappear into the middle of a vehicle full of boxes. Tell the crew about boxes that should be unloaded early, but keep personal essentials with you rather than relying on a particular unloading order.

Build in time for access and setup
If your moving date sits between work commitments, avoid planning a call for the exact moment the truck is expected. Traffic, elevator access and the actual load can affect the day. Give the team the time you can enter the new property and any building reservation that has a fixed end. Packing support can be discussed for the areas you have not finished, and cleaning can follow after the old rooms are empty. Keep these additional tasks in the written scope so a household move does not quietly turn into an equipment setup or cleaning job that nobody has priced.

Start with your pickup and destination postal codes, preferred date and an inventory. Add photos of larger items and the route through each property. Optimum serves the GTA and beyond; this Whitby guide does not represent a separate branch office. The team checks the details and availability before a booking is agreed.
Your questions, answered
Before you book
Will the movers reconnect my computer equipment?
The moving package is for loading, transport, unloading and the listed furniture work. Keep electronic reconnection separate unless the team has agreed to it. Label cables, retain important equipment yourself and ask about any additional installation work before booking.
What does the hourly rate include in Whitby?
Two movers, a vehicle, fuel, mileage, furniture assembly and disassembly, and insurance are listed in every moving package. Ask about the applicable coverage terms. HST and packing materials are additional, and the final total depends on billable time.
Is sending a quote request the same as booking?
No. A request starts the conversation. The team reviews the date, inventory and access, then discusses the price and scope with you. Availability and the booking details need to be agreed before the move is reserved.
Can I add packing or cleaning to this move?
Yes. Specify the rooms, items or cleaning tasks you want help with. These services are quoted separately from the vehicle package. Tell us whether you already have boxes and whether the cleaning space will be empty when access is available.
What if the inventory changes after I get a quote?
Send the revised list and any new photos before moving day. Extra furniture, another address or different access can affect the vehicle and expected time. The team can review the change with you so the agreed scope remains clear.
