BOOKING & SCHEDULING
When & How to Book Your Move
Planning ahead is the single most important thing you can do for a successful move in Montreal.
When should I book movers in Montreal?+
In peak season (May–September), book 4–8 weeks ahead — earlier around July 1st. In fall and winter, 2–4 weeks is usually enough. CNS Logistics operates year-round with a fleet of 12 trucks and experienced crews.
Why is July 1st so busy for moving in Quebec?+
July 1st is Quebec's traditional 'moving day' — most residential leases end and begin on this date. Demand for movers peaks dramatically, curb space is limited, and traffic increases across Montreal. Book 6–8 weeks ahead for July 1st moves.
Do you offer last-minute moves in Montreal?+
Yes, depending on availability. Flexibility with dates and times increases the chances we can accommodate a short-notice move. Call (514) 416-9610 to check same-week availability.
Can I request a morning time slot?+
Yes. Morning slots are popular and fill quickly — especially at end of month and around July 1st. Book early to secure your preferred window.
Can I reschedule if my building changes elevator rules?+
Often yes, depending on our schedule. Let CNS Logistics know as soon as possible so we can re-check elevator, parking, and access arrangements.
PRICING
Moving Costs & Quotes
Transparent pricing with no hidden fees — every CNS Logistics quote is binding.
How do you price a local move in Montreal?+
Local moves are typically priced hourly (truck + crew) with a minimum. Factors affecting total time include access conditions (stairs vs. elevator), floors, truck-to-door distance, number of stops, and date. Residential moves start at $90/hour for a 2-person crew.
What information do you need for an accurate quote?+
A detailed inventory with photos, access details (stairs, elevator, narrow hallways), truck-to-door distance, parking restrictions, preferred date and time window, and any additional stops. The more detail you provide, the more accurate the quote.
Is there a minimum time for a move?+
Often yes. The minimum depends on the move type and area. CNS Logistics confirms all minimums before booking so there are no surprises.
Is travel time billed?+
It can be, depending on the area and service structure. CNS Logistics explains all billing clearly before the move starts — no hidden charges.
Are there hidden fees?+
No. Every CNS Logistics quote is binding — the price you're quoted is the price you pay. If scope changes (added items, extra stop, harder access), we confirm with you before proceeding.
How can I reduce the total cost of my move?+
Have boxes packed and labeled before the crew arrives, clear pathways and doorways, book the elevator in advance, and plan curb space. Fewer trips between truck and door means fewer hours billed.
PACKING & MATERIALS
Professional Packing & Protection
Expert packing reduces damage risk and speeds up your move significantly.
Do you offer full packing services?+
Yes. CNS Logistics offers full packing (kitchen, bathroom, bedroom — everything) or fragile-only packing based on your budget and timeline. Professional packing reduces damage risk significantly.
Can you pack only fragile items?+
Yes — fragile-only packing is popular for glassware, dishes, artwork, electronics, and mirrors. Our team uses professional materials to reduce risk on the items most likely to break.
Do you provide boxes and packing materials?+
Yes, on request: heavy-duty double-walled boxes, packing paper, tape, furniture covers, bubble wrap, and specialty materials for TVs and artwork. Tell us what you're packing so we bring the right supplies.
How do you protect furniture and floors during a move?+
Moving blankets, ratchet straps, corner protectors, and floor/entry protection — especially important for Montreal's spiral staircases, narrow hallways, and elevator-access condos.
Do I need to disassemble furniture before movers arrive?+
Not required. CNS Logistics can disassemble and reassemble beds, tables, modular furniture, and shelving units. Mention large pieces when requesting your quote so we factor in the time.
MOVING DAY & LOGISTICS
What to Expect on Moving Day
From crew arrival to final placement — here's how a CNS Logistics move works.
What happens on moving day?+
The crew arrives, does an access walkthrough, sets up floor and wall protection, systematically loads the truck with blankets and straps, transports to the destination, then unloads with room-by-room placement per your labels.
What should I prepare before the crew arrives?+
Boxes sealed and labeled by room, pathways cleared, fridge defrosted 24 hours in advance, and essentials kept with you (documents, medications, valuables, chargers, change of clothes).
What if it rains or snows on moving day?+
CNS Logistics moves year-round in Montreal's climate — rain, snow, and ice. We use protective materials and adapted methods. In winter, clear and de-ice entrances before the crew arrives. Severe storms may require rescheduling for safety.
How do your dollies reduce trips?+
CNS Logistics uses high-capacity dollies that carry up to 20 boxes per trip — significantly reducing back-and-forth between truck and door, which saves time and lowers costs.
Can you place boxes in the correct rooms?+
Yes. Label each box clearly by room (Kitchen, Bedroom 1, Office) and the crew will place items accordingly. Clear labeling is the single best thing you can do to speed up unloading.
Can you do multi-stop moves?+
Yes — multi-stop plans (apartment + storage + new house) are common. Provide the stop order and access details for each location when requesting your quote.
How do you handle narrow hallways and long distances from truck to door?+
Corner protection, strategic load sequencing, and high-capacity dollies to reduce trips. Our crews are experienced with Montreal's tight walk-ups, spiral staircases, and long condo corridors.
BUILDINGS & PERMITS
Condos, Elevators & Parking Permits
Building rules and permits are critical for avoiding delays on moving day.
How can I save time on a condo move?+
Book the freight elevator in advance, confirm building rules (insurance certificates, time windows, floor protection requirements), and stage boxes near the elevator door. High-capacity dollies reduce hallway trips.
Do I need a parking permit for a moving truck in Montreal?+
Often yes, depending on the borough. Temporary parking permits reserve curb space directly in front of your building — preventing blocked access on moving day. CNS Logistics can guide you on timing and steps for your specific borough.
What if parking is difficult at one of the addresses?+
Tell CNS Logistics early so we can plan curb space, timing, and permits. Difficult parking is common in Downtown Montreal, Plateau-Mont-Royal, Griffintown, and Old Montreal — we handle it regularly.
My building requires proof of insurance — can you provide it?+
Yes, depending on the request. Send your property manager's requirements in advance and we'll prepare the necessary documentation.
Should I reserve an elevator time window?+
Yes, if your building requires it. Reserve a realistic window with buffer time — being cut off mid-load because the window expired causes costly delays.
What access details matter most for quoting?+
Number of floors, elevator availability (freight vs. passenger), truck-to-door distance, truck size restrictions, loading dock access, and any building time windows or rules.
SPECIALTY ITEMS
Pianos, Pool Tables, Artwork & More
Heavy and fragile items require specialized handling, equipment, and planning.
Do you move pianos?+
Yes, depending on type, weight, and access (stairs, tight turns, elevator dimensions). Share the piano model, dimensions, and photos of the access path. CNS Logistics specializes in piano moving in Montreal — uprights, grands, and baby grands. Piano moving starts at $250.
Do you move pool tables and safes?+
Yes, depending on weight and access conditions. These heavy items often require extra planning, specialized equipment, and floor protection. Mention dimensions and weight in your quote request.
Do you move artwork and mirrors?+
Yes. Professional packing is strongly recommended — corner protectors, foam padding, and custom crating for high-value pieces. Climate-controlled storage is best if storing artwork between moves.
How do you move large TVs safely?+
The original box is ideal. Otherwise, CNS Logistics uses TV-specific foam corners, moving blankets, and secure strapping. Never transport a large TV unprotected — screens are extremely fragile.
Do you move heavy gym equipment?+
Yes, depending on weight and access. Treadmills, ellipticals, and multi-station gyms often need partial disassembly. Send photos of the equipment and access path for accurate quoting.
Do you move plants?+
Plants are generally best transported by the owner due to temperature sensitivity and fragility. For short local moves in mild weather, ask us — it depends on season and distance.
GPS TRACKING
Real-Time GPS Truck Tracking
Know exactly where your belongings are — every 30 seconds, on every long-distance move.
Do you offer real-time GPS tracking for moves?+
Yes. CNS Logistics is one of the only moving companies in Montreal that offers real-time GPS truck tracking on every long-distance move — free of charge. You receive a secure tracking link via text and email that shows your truck's live position, speed, direction, and estimated arrival time, updated every 30 seconds. The bilingual interface (English and French) works on any smartphone, tablet, or computer.
How does the CNS Logistics GPS tracking dashboard work?+
When your long-distance move begins, you receive a secure link. The tracking dashboard displays a live map with your truck's GPS position, current speed in km/h, direction of travel, estimated time of arrival, distance remaining, percentage of route completed, and a full timeline of the day's events — from warehouse departure to final delivery. For a Montreal to Toronto move (540 km), you can watch your truck travel the Highway 401 corridor in real time.
Is GPS tracking included free or is it an add-on?+
Completely free. Real-time GPS truck tracking is included with every long-distance move from Montreal — whether you're moving to Toronto, Ottawa, Quebec City, Sherbrooke, or anywhere across Canada. It is not an optional upgrade or premium add-on.
Can I track my move on my phone?+
Yes. The CNS Logistics tracking dashboard is fully responsive and works on any device — iPhone, Android, tablet, or desktop computer. No app download required — just click the secure link sent to your phone via text message.
Why does GPS tracking matter for long-distance moves?+
When your belongings are traveling 540 km from Montreal to Toronto or 800 km to Sudbury, the biggest source of stress is not knowing where your things are. Most long-distance movers give you a vague 1–3 day delivery window. With CNS Logistics, you know your truck is on the 401 passing Kingston at 108 km/h and will arrive at 1:45 PM. That transparency eliminates anxiety and lets you plan your day at the destination.
LAB & MEDICAL MOVING
Laboratory & Medical Equipment Relocation
200+ lab relocations since 2018 — including McGill, Concordia, LifeLabs, and MGI Tech Canada.
Do you move laboratory equipment?+
Yes. CNS Logistics has completed over 200 laboratory and medical equipment relocations since 2018 — including projects for McGill University Faculty of Medicine, Concordia University, LifeLabs Canada, and MGI Tech Canada. We handle CT scanners, MRI machines, genomic sequencers, biosafety cabinets, laboratory freezers, incubators, and analytical instruments.
What is chain-of-custody documentation for lab moves?+
Chain-of-custody documentation tracks every piece of equipment from origin to destination — including asset tagging, inventory verification at pickup, condition assessment, transport logging, and arrival confirmation. This is essential for regulated medical and scientific equipment where accountability must be maintained at every stage.
Can you move a genomic sequencer or MRI machine?+
Yes. CNS Logistics has successfully delivered a multi-million-dollar, 2,500 lb (1,100+ kg) DNBSEQ-T7 genomic sequencer to a downtown Montreal research facility with no loading dock and restricted alley access. We use hydraulic liftgates rated 3,000+ lb, precision skidding, and custom rigging for ultra-heavy medical and scientific instruments.
Do you provide anti-static protection for sensitive electronics?+
Yes. CNS Logistics teams are trained in ESD (electrostatic discharge) prevention protocols — including anti-static films, grounding straps, and controlled handling procedures. This is critical for analytical instruments, servers, genomic sequencers, and any equipment with sensitive circuit boards.
Can you do after-hours or weekend laboratory moves?+
Yes. Laboratory and medical facility moves often need to happen outside business hours to minimize downtime. CNS Logistics coordinates after-hours and weekend lab relocations — including multi-phase moves where different departments are relocated in planned stages.
SENIOR MOVING
Moves for Seniors & Downsizing
Patient, respectful crews experienced with retirement homes, CHSLDs, and downsizing transitions.
Do you offer senior moving services?+
Yes. CNS Logistics provides dedicated senior moving services for residents aged 65+ in Montreal, Laval, West Island, and surrounding areas. Our crews are patient, respectful, and experienced with downsizing moves — including coordination with family members and care facilities.
Is there a senior discount for moving?+
Yes. CNS Logistics offers a senior discount program for residents aged 65 and older. Visit our senior moving page or call (514) 416-9610 for eligibility details and current discount rates.
Can you help with downsizing moves?+
Yes. Downsizing is one of the most common senior moving scenarios — moving from a family home to a smaller condo, apartment, or care facility. CNS Logistics helps with careful packing, furniture placement per your floor plan, and coordination with family members who may be helping remotely.
Do you move to and from retirement homes and CHSLDs?+
Yes. CNS Logistics regularly handles moves to and from retirement residences, assisted living facilities, and CHSLDs across Montreal, Laval, and the West Island. Our teams understand the sensitivity required and coordinate with facility staff on timing, access, and elevator scheduling.
PIANO MOVING
Piano Moving in Montreal
Uprights, grands, and baby grands — including spiral staircase specialists.
How much does piano moving cost in Montreal?+
Piano moving in Montreal starts at $250 for a standard upright on the ground floor. Grand pianos, baby grands, and moves involving spiral staircases, narrow doorways, or upper floors cost more due to the additional crew, equipment, and time required. Contact CNS Logistics with your piano type and access photos for an accurate quote.
Can you move a piano up or down spiral staircases?+
Yes. CNS Logistics specializes in piano moves involving Montreal's iconic exterior spiral staircases — common in Plateau-Mont-Royal, Rosemont, Villeray, and Mile End. Our teams use specialized piano boards, heavy-duty straps, and stair-climbing techniques designed for tight turns and steep angles.
What types of pianos do you move?+
CNS Logistics moves upright pianos, baby grand pianos, grand pianos, digital pianos, and organs. Each type requires different handling — grands are disassembled (legs and lid removed), uprights are moved vertically on piano boards. Share your piano model and photos of the access path when requesting a quote.
COMMERCIAL MOVING
Office & Commercial Relocations
Offices, retail, clinics, law firms, and tech companies — minimal downtime guaranteed.
Do you handle commercial moves in Montreal?+
Yes — offices, retail spaces, clinics, law firms, and tech companies. CNS Logistics plans labeling systems, protection protocols, and phased move schedules to minimize business downtime. Weekend and after-hours moves available.
Can you move outside business hours?+
Yes, depending on availability. After-hours and weekend commercial moves help minimize disruption to your business operations and building traffic.
Can you place items by zones or teams?+
Yes. If you label furniture and boxes by zone (Accounting, Meeting Room, IT Closet), CNS Logistics places items per your floor plan. We recommend creating a zone map for the destination before moving day.
Can you move store inventory and stock?+
Yes. Clear labeling and a structured load plan are key. CNS Logistics can recommend appropriate containers and boxes for retail inventory, display units, and fragile merchandise.
Can you move archives and legal documents?+
Yes. For preservation and confidentiality, professional packing and climate-controlled storage are recommended. CNS Logistics handles law firm document moves with discretion — including confidential file transport with chain-of-custody tracking.
LONG-DISTANCE MOVING
Long-Distance Moves Across Canada
Dedicated trucks, GPS tracking, and binding quotes on every route from Montreal.
Do you do long-distance moves within Quebec?+
Yes. CNS Logistics provides long-distance moving on all major Quebec routes — Montreal to Quebec City (250 km), Sherbrooke (160 km), Trois-Rivières (150 km), Gatineau (200 km), and beyond. 2,450+ long-distance moves completed since 2018.
How does long-distance delivery work?+
CNS Logistics plans a delivery window based on distance, route logistics, and your schedule. You receive a binding quote, a confirmed delivery window, and real-time GPS tracking throughout transit. Every long-distance move uses a dedicated truck — your belongings never share space with another client's shipment.
Can I combine long-distance moving with storage?+
Yes — this is common when possession dates don't align. CNS Logistics coordinates pickup at your origin, secure climate-controlled storage at our Saint-Laurent facility, then final delivery to your new home when you're ready.
What should I keep with me on a long-distance move?+
Documents (IDs, lease, insurance), jewelry, medications, 48-hour essentials (toiletries, change of clothes, chargers, snacks), and irreplaceable items (photo albums, family heirlooms). These should travel with you, not on the truck.
How much does a long-distance move from Montreal cost?+
Long-distance moving from Montreal typically ranges from $1,100 to $4,500+ depending on distance, volume, and services. Montreal to Ottawa starts at $1,400. Montreal to Quebec City starts at $1,600. Montreal to Toronto starts at $2,800. All CNS Logistics quotes are binding — no hidden fees or surprise charges.
Do you use shared trucks for long-distance moves?+
No. Every CNS Logistics long-distance move uses a dedicated truck. Your belongings are the only items on board — they are never combined with another client's shipment. This eliminates the risk of damage, delays, and mix-ups that are common with shared-load movers.
How long does a Montreal to Toronto move take?+
A Montreal to Toronto move covers approximately 540 km via the Highway 401 corridor and takes 5–6 hours of drive time. With loading in Montreal and unloading in Toronto, most standard household moves are completed within a single day. Larger homes may require next-day delivery.
Do you move to provinces outside Quebec and Ontario?+
Yes. CNS Logistics provides coast-to-coast long-distance moving across all 10 Canadian provinces — including New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, PEI, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, and British Columbia. Contact us for a custom quote on any Canadian destination.
STORAGE
Secure Climate-Controlled Storage
Our Saint-Laurent facility protects your belongings with 24/7 surveillance and climate control.
Do you offer storage in Montreal?+
Yes. CNS Logistics operates a secure, climate-controlled storage facility in Saint-Laurent, Montreal. We coordinate pickup, storage, and delivery as a single service. Storage starts at $150/month with 75% off your first month when combined with a move.
What storage unit size should I choose?+
5×5 ft: closet-sized (seasonal items, boxes). 5×10 ft: one room of furniture. 10×10 ft: 2–3 rooms. 10×15 or 10×20 ft: 3–5 rooms or a full house. Share your inventory with us to confirm the right size.
What's the difference between heated and climate-controlled storage?+
Climate-controlled storage maintains stable temperature AND humidity — ideal for wood furniture, electronics, documents, artwork, and musical instruments. Heated storage prevents freezing but doesn't control humidity, which can damage sensitive items over time. For Montreal's extreme temperature swings (-25°C to +35°C), climate-controlled is recommended.
What items are prohibited in storage?+
Flammable or explosive materials, reactive chemicals, perishable food, live animals or plants, hazardous waste, and illegal items. Ask CNS Logistics if you're unsure about a specific item.
Is stored inventory insured?+
Your home insurance policy may cover items in off-site storage — check with your insurer. Otherwise, storage-specific insurance may apply. Keep photos and a detailed inventory list of everything you store.
How should I prepare items for long-term storage?+
Clean and thoroughly dry all items, elevate on pallets if possible, leave airflow lanes between stacks, and label everything clearly. Climate-controlled storage is strongly recommended for documents, wood furniture, electronics, and musical instruments.
How should I store appliances?+
Defrost refrigerators and freezers 24–48 hours before storage. Keep doors slightly open to prevent mold. Bag all hoses and accessories. Protect surfaces with moving blankets or covers.
How can I protect documents and photos from humidity in storage?+
Use archive-quality boxes, acid-free dividers, silica gel desiccant packets, and climate-controlled storage. For irreplaceable documents and photos, digitize them before storing the originals.
INSURANCE & POLICIES
Insurance, Policies & General Moving Tips
Everything else you need to know about working with CNS Logistics.
Are my items insured during the move?+
CNS Logistics includes basic cargo insurance with every move. Extended coverage options are available for high-value items, antiques, and artwork. Our team explains all protection options during the quoting process.
What items can't you transport?+
Hazardous materials (gasoline, solvents, paint, pressurized aerosols), live animals, and perishable food on long-distance moves. If you're unsure about a specific item, ask us before moving day.
What if I have an extremely fragile or rare item?+
Tell CNS Logistics in advance. Professional packing, custom crating, and reinforced protection are usually recommended for high-value, irreplaceable, or extremely fragile items.
Do you disconnect and reconnect appliances?+
No. CNS Logistics moves and protects appliances, but plumbing, electrical, and gas disconnection/reconnection must be handled by the customer or a qualified professional. This is a safety and liability requirement.
Do you do donation runs or donation pickups?+
No. CNS Logistics focuses on moving, packing, specialty item handling, and storage. For donations, contact local charities like Renaissance, Salvation Army, or Le Support directly.
Should I tip my movers?+
Tipping is not required but always appreciated. In Montreal, a common guideline is $10–$20 per mover for a standard local move, or $20–$40 per mover for a long or difficult move. Cold water, coffee, and snacks during the move are also appreciated.
How long does a typical local move take in Montreal?+
A studio or 1½ takes 2–3 hours. A 3½ apartment typically takes 3–5 hours. A 4½ or 5½ takes 5–8 hours. Large houses can take 8–12 hours. These estimates depend heavily on access conditions (stairs vs. elevator), truck-to-door distance, and preparation.
Do stairs vs. elevator make a big cost difference?+
Yes. Stairs add significant time — especially in Montreal's multi-story walk-ups and exterior spiral staircases. Each flight of stairs can add 15–30 minutes to a move depending on the furniture. Elevator access is faster but requires booking in advance. Always mention the exact floor and staircase type when requesting a quote.
What should I know about moving in Montreal during winter?+
Montreal winters bring ice, snow, and temperatures below -20°C. Clear and salt all walkways and stairs before the crew arrives. Protect floors with runners — wet boots track salt and slush. Ensure the truck can access curb space (snow banks can block loading zones). CNS Logistics moves year-round and carries winter-specific equipment, but customer preparation significantly impacts speed and safety.
MAN WITH A VAN
Man with a Van — Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our cargo van + driver service for small moves, students, and furniture delivery.
What is the Man with a Van service?+

It’s the most affordable way to move a studio or 2½ apartment, deliver furniture, or handle student moves. The van fits approximately 400 cubic feet — equivalent to a 10-foot moving truck.

How much does a man with a van cost?+
CNS Logistics charges $89/hour for a man with a van in Montreal with a 2-hour minimum ($178). A helper can be added for stairs at $35/hour extra ($124/hour total). A typical studio move costs $178–$267.
Can I just book a van and driver without a full moving crew?+
Yes. CNS Logistics offers a cargo van + driver service for small moves. You don’t need a full crew — one driver handles loading, driving, and unloading. If your move involves stairs, you can help the driver yourself or add a paid helper for $35/hour.
