Packing Service Options

Depending on your situation, it is up to you to choose the packing service you are most comfortable using:

Full Packing Service: This option allows our customers to have a hands-off experience where our professional movers pack and wrap your belongings. Packing consists of non-breakable, fragiles, and large furniture pieces. Our staff is trained to be mindful and pack with care. You have the option of having our staff do your unpacking at your destination.

Partial Packing Service: Things like books and clothes are often easier for our customers to deal with, so they allow our moving team to take care of packing fragile items. They will be arranged in the truck so as to prevent damage while in transit. Our movers are adept at packing dishware, collectibles, ornaments, and more, so you don’t have to worry. This service also provides unpacking by our staff at your new location.

No Packing Service: Want to handle the packing yourself? We will be there to load, transport, and deliver your belongings in one piece from Ottawa to the United States.

Origin Services

Prior to our arrival, Focus Moving staff refer to a checklist of the materials and equipment they will need for your cross-border move. When we arrive at your home to begin the moving process, we will lay out protective floor runners and padding before conducting a walkthrough of everything that is to be transported. With the help of our Staff Supervisor, our team will write up a detailed inventory list, which will serve as a reference later on for both customs clearance and unloading at your destination.   

Let our movers know which large items, such as beds and tables, need to be dismantled, and they will be happy to oblige. The items that are not packed in boxes will be securely wrapped. While some of our team members are handling the inventory, others will be working on disassembly and loading the truck. We do our best to save on time and use it wisely.  

At the end of loading, our driver will walk with you through the house to double-check that everything was loaded. 

Transportation Services

Moving from Canada to the USA for a new job? Whatever the reason, Focus Moving is here to help you move with door-to-door transportation!

Customs Documents & Clearance Of Personal Effects Into The United States

Our Ottawa office will make sure your shipment has all of the necessary documentation filled out. We provide the forms and consult you during this process. At the same time, we will advise you regarding items prohibited from entering the USA, as well as which items should not be put into storage. Rest assured that we are experienced and thorough in these matters. We will answer all questions and concerns you have. 

Once this step is complete, we will work on your shipment’s customs clearance for the United States.

Destination Services

At your destination within the USA, our Ottawa team will accompany you on a walkthrough where you will inform us of where to unload your belongings. Like our origin services above, we are careful while we work. We will lay out floor runners and padding, as well as reassemble your large furniture pieces. Part of our staff will unload while other members will verify the inventory with the list created at the beginning of the moving process. 

Please note that our Focus Moving staff will carefully unpack your belongings and remove any debris left behind if you chose this packing option.
