Questions
How does Great Canadian Van Lines calculate shipment weight?
Trucks are weighed before and after loading at government-registered scales. The difference between 'light weight' and 'heavy weight' determines your shipment's net weight.
How are belongings protected during transit?
Items receive color-coded tags and detailed inventory listings. Furniture gets blanket-wrapped while fragile items receive specialized packing materials to prevent damage during transport.
What insurance options are available?
Clients declare shipment value at $8.00 per pound minimum. Cargo coverage protects belongings based on declared value with no deductible required for damage or loss claims.
What happens if delivery is late?
Late deliveries incur $100/day credits against final invoices (excluding holidays). Our dispatch system tracks shipments daily to maintain scheduled delivery windows.
Are packing services included?
Packing is optional and priced by carton count, hourly rate, or shipment weight. Full packing services include insurance benefits and professional wrapping materials for fragile items.
How are cross-border moves handled?
We manage customs documentation and border requirements while clients provide necessary identification and residency documentation for US-bound shipments.
