Cassidy's Moving & Storage

💸 RED FLAG: "$299 for a 3-bedroom move!"

Let's do the math:
💸A legit 3-bedroom move needs:
💸6-8 hours labour (2-3 movers)
💸Commercial truck + fuel
💸Professional equipment
💸Insurance (WSIB, liability, cargo)

At $299? The math doesn't work.

Here's the scam:

BAIT: Crazy low price on Facebook SWITCH: Moving day arrives...

"Actually, stairs are $200 extra"
"Heavy items - $300" "Long carry - $100"
"Packing materials - $150"

Your $299 quote is now $1,200.

And your stuff is on their truck. What do you do?

Real story: Customer's "mover" quoted $400, demanded $1,800 on-site. Customer refused. Movers held belongings hostage until police arrived.

How to spot it:
🚩 Way cheaper than every other quote
🚩 Instant price with no details
🚩 Requires cash deposit
🚩 No physical address
🚩 Brand new "company"

Cassidy's: Transparent pricing. Written estimates. 115 years of honest business.

The most expensive move is the cheap one that goes wrong.

⚖️ 6-2 Weeks Out: Handle the Official Stuff Now

This phase is CRITICAL - there are legal deadlines and admin tasks that take weeks to process. Don't wait.

🚨 ACTION ALERT: 6-Day Legal Deadline You MUST update your driver's license and license plates within 6 DAYS of moving to your new address:
👉 ServiceOntario
👉 CRA

6-4 Weeks - Address Changes & Legal:
📬 Canada Post - Arrange mail forwarding
🗳️ Elections Canada - Update voter registration
🏢 Elevators - Book freight elevator if moving to/from apartment
🚗 Vehicle service - Get your car checked before the move

3-2 Weeks - Utilities & Financials:
🔌 Utility companies - Gas, electricity, water, internet at new place
💳 Banks & credit cards - Notify of new address
💊 Medical - Fill all prescriptions and back up important files

Why these deadlines matter:
❌ Miss the 6-day license update = fines
❌ Forget utilities = no power/internet on move-in day
❌ Skip mail forwarding = miss important documents

Don't let admin tasks derail your move!

🚛 10-6 Weeks Out: Booking & Logistics Time

Your move is getting real. This phase is all about locking in the details and gathering what you need.

10-9 Weeks - Booking & Logistics:
✅ Book Cassidy's - Contact your representative for necessary paperwork
✅ Book time off work - Request moving day off NOW
✅ Transfer school records - Contact new school to register kids
✅ Get packing supplies - Tape, sturdy boxes, packing paper

8-6 Weeks - Decluttering & Specialty Items:
✅ The "ruthless" declutter - Garage sale time for unwanted items!
✅ Hazardous disposal - Safely get rid of old paint, batteries, cleaners
✅ Fragile prep - Get bubble wrap and dish barrels for fine art, antiques, pianos

💡 Pro Tip: Don't Use Flimsy Boxes. Those free grocery store boxes might seem like a money-saver, but they put your belongings at risk. Invest in proper packing supplies - your stuff is worth it.
