How many movers should I hire for my move?

There is no standard answer to this question but you must consider your budget and your moving needs.

Consider what moving services you need and the volume and size of your goods. Moving a 2 ½ is very different from a big house! Here are some services you can choose for your relocation:

• Storage of goods
• Assembly and disassembly of furniture
• Transport of your boxes
• Etc.

For removal of furniture only, 2 movers may be sufficient for your move because you can take care of transporting the rest.

For a turn-key move, for example, choose a package with 3 men for moving in order to speed up the time it takes to complete the move.

Specifically, two movers can carry your heavy furniture while another mover packs your belongings in boxes and transports them. The important thing is to ask if there will be time lost with 3 movers (if one of the movers will be idle for part of the time).

In this regard, contact one of our moving partners and ask for his advice concerning the number of movers required on your moving day.

What is the price for 2 or 3 movers in Quebec?

Choosing 2 or 3 movers is also a question of price. For a turn-key move with 2 men, it is necessary to calculate between $90 and$120 per hour for your move. For an economic move, it is usually between $70 $ to $85 per hour.

If you hire 3 movers, the rate ranges from $120 and $145 per hour for the turn-key package. The economy rates are between $95 and $115 per hour.

You will find that the price per move is lower when you choose a moving package with 3 movers.

This is an advantage if the work is well-planned and the 3 movers coordinate efficiently. We would not want to pay for a mover who stays in the moving van because that is useless!

On the other hand, it may be that a long distance move benefits less with 3 movers because the time spent on the trip will increase your hourly bill faster.

Therefore, in choosing between 2 or 3 movers, the key is establishing your moving needs. From there, you may ask if having 3 movers is necessary in your particular situation.
