The bilingual interface (English and French) works on any smartphone, tablet, or computer.

Every lab move is supervised by a dedicated project manager and includes chain-of-custody documentation, ESD/anti-static protection, and decontamination clearance coordination.
How much does moving in Montreal cost?+
Residential moving in Montreal starts at $145/hour for a 2-person crew, with a 3-hour labour minimum and transport billed separately; the instant calculator prices your exact move. Long-distance Montreal to Toronto starts at $3,000. Montreal to Ottawa starts at $1,400. Lab relocations are quoted per-project. All CNS Logistics quotes are written and itemized at the published rates, with no hidden fees.
Do you offer storage in Montreal?+
Yes. CNS Logistics operates a secure, climate-controlled storage facility in Saint-Laurent, Montreal. Storage starts at $89/month. We offer 75% off your first month when combined with a move. Short-term and long-term options available.
What areas does CNS Logistics serve?+
CNS Logistics serves the entire Greater Montreal area (Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, West Island, South Shore, North Shore), all of Quebec (Quebec City, Sherbrooke, Trois-Rivières, Gatineau), Ontario (Toronto, Ottawa, Kingston, Hamilton), and coast-to-coast across all 10 Canadian provinces.

CNS Logistics carries commercial insurance with Intact: $50,000 cargo coverage and $2,500,000 civil liability, with a $500 deductible that CNS pays, never the client. For laboratory, commercial and high-value residential moves, increased coverage is available on request.
How far in advance should I book?+
We recommend booking 2–4 weeks in advance for local moves, 3–6 weeks for long-distance. For July 1st (Quebec's official moving day), book 6–8 weeks ahead. Last-minute bookings may be possible — call (514) 416-9610 to check.
Do you move pianos?+
Yes. CNS Logistics specializes in piano moving in Montreal: uprights, grands, and baby grands. Our teams navigate Montreal's iconic spiral staircases, narrow walk-ups, and tight doorways with specialized piano boards, straps, and padding. There is no piano fee: with no stairs at either address the piano rides the same hourly clock as everything else inside a full move and costs nothing extra; once there are stairs its access bills per flight, from the first; and as a job on its own it bills the normal crew rate with a 3-hour work minimum plus one transport hour ($580 before tax off-season for an upright with no stairs). Stairs then bill per flight: the first flight is included in the crew bump, and every flight after it is $75 for an upright or $150 for a grand, counted at both addresses. Household goods' stairs are priced in time, by unit size; the heavy item's own access is priced per flight on any job.
