If you’ve ever moved before, you might have heard horror stories about movers adding surprise charges at the last minute. Some companies lure customers in with low estimates only to tack on hidden fees for stairs, fuel, oversized items, or extra time. That’s not how we operate at Take A Load Off Moving.
We are No Hidden Fees Movers—meaning what we quote is what you pay. Our pricing is clear, upfront, and 100% transparent so you can move with confidence.
Why Choose No Hidden Fees Movers?
Many moving companies advertise low rates only to surprise you with extra charges once your belongings are loaded onto the truck. Some of the most common hidden fees include:
❌ Fuel surcharges – Extra fees disguised as travel costs.
❌ Stair or elevator fees – Charging per flight of stairs without prior notice.
❌ Long carry fees – Charging extra for longer distances from your home to the truck.
❌ Overtime or after-hours fees – Unexpected hourly charges.
❌ Packing supply markups – Charging extra for moving blankets, tape, and boxes.
At Take A Load Off Moving, we don’t play those games. Our estimates are straightforward, all-inclusive, and transparent.
What Makes Us Different?
1. Honest, Upfront Pricing
We believe in 100% transparency. When we give you a moving estimate, we break down every cost so there are no surprises.
2. No Extra Charges for Stairs or Elevators
Many companies charge extra if you live in an apartment, condo, or townhouse with stairs. We include these factors in our upfront estimate, so you know the cost before you book.
3. No Last-Minute Fees
The price we give you is the price you pay. We don’t suddenly add charges for fuel, extra labor, or longer-than-expected moving times.
4. No Extra Fees for Moving Supplies
We provide moving blankets, dollies, and other equipment without additional charges. We also offer affordable packing supplies if needed.
5. Verified, Trusted, and Five-Star Rated Movers
We are: ✅ CAM Certified (Canadian Association of Movers)
✅ Google Verified & Double Audited
✅ Trusted by the City of Nanaimo, City of Port Alberni, and Fisheries
✅ A community-driven, family-owned business
How to Avoid Hidden Fees When Hiring Movers
Not every moving company is upfront about pricing. Here’s how to protect yourself from hidden fees:
1. Ask for a Written Estimate
Never settle for a verbal estimate over the phone. Always request a detailed, written estimate that lists all potential costs.
2. Check Reviews & Ratings
Look for companies with verified five-star reviews and avoid those with complaints about hidden charges.
3. Verify the Company
Check if the movers are licensed, insured, and verified. Use our free mover verification tool to ensure you’re hiring trusted professionals.
