How to Book a Moving Help Order<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You can use Moving Help to book an order whether you have a short- or long-distance move. You can choose to hire moving labor for your U-Haul truck rental<\/a>, hire moving labor for your U-Box storage container<\/a>, or hire moving labor with whatever way you\u2019re transporting your belongings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below are some instructions to help guide you on how the booking process works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1: Enter Your Move\u2019s Details<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Go to MovingHelp.com<\/a> and enter your first address and the time and date you need help with your move. If needed, enter your second address and the time and date you need help as well and then hit the \u201cSearch\u201d button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2: Filter and Apply What Services You Need<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll see the next page has sort and filter options for hourly services and specialty services. Apply the corresponding checkboxes if you need some hourly services or specialty services (piano moving or gun safe moving), so Moving Help can recommend to you the best local labor Service Providers in Ottawa to fit your needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 3: Read Through the Reviews<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You can read through hundreds of reviews for each provider to find the one you like the best. While reading the reviews, you\u2019ll know what each provider costs as well. You\u2019ll then select your local moving labor team based on the reviews, your budget, and your needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 4: Repeat the Process<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If needed, you\u2019ll \u201cContinue to Location 2\u201d and select your Moving Helpers for your second address. You follow the same process as you did for Location 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 5: Enter Remaining Details and Payment Info<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You should leave notes for your Service Provider about anything you think they should know for your specific move. For example, your home has stairs, or your apartment has an elevator. Of course, your labor-only provider will reach out to you for any additional details they need for your move. Enter your payment and billing information and hit the \u201cConfirm Order\u201d button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4 Moving Help Benefits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Moving Help has many benefits as to why customers choose us over other moving companies in Ottawa. Check out four of the many reasons<\/strong> as to why customers choose us for their labor-only moving needs over our competitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

Payment Code<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

After booking a Moving Help order, your funds will go into an escrow after being charged immediately. You\u2019ll receive an email (and a text if you opted in) with Moving Help\u2019s patented Payment Code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your Payment Code is a unique six-digit code<\/a>. You pay your labor-only Ottawa helpers once your job is completed and you\u2019re satisfied with their work. Your helpers won\u2019t get paid until you give them your code. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This avoids needing cash at all unless you want to tip in cash<\/a>. Learn more about your Payment Code<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No Cancellation Fees<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Moving can be a stressful situation, especially when you\u2019re in a time crunch. Moving Help understands that every move is different. This is why Moving Help doesn\u2019t charge a cancellation fee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No matter when you need to cancel prior to your moving date, Moving Help will never charge you a cancellation fee.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Refundable Service Fee<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

With your online order, you\u2019ll be charged a $5.95 service fee, but that service fee is refundable. The only requirement to receive your $5.95 service fee back is to leave a review for your Service Provider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This helps the provider and future customers. Providers will get the chance to brag about their review or take it as a learning opportunity, and future customers can read about how your specific moving experiences went with this helper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can read our article on how to leave a Moving Help review<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No Hidden Fees<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Moving Help has no hidden fees. We always guarantee up-front pricing and quotes. We don\u2019t charge gas fees, travel fees, or stairs fees. Our independent Ottawa Service Providers have already included those fees into their prices that they set on their own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you need additional help during the job, some Moving Helpers can invoice you for service requests outside of our standard labor-only services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll never be surprised by an unexpected fee with us.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
