Long distance costs
How your flat rate is calculated
Long distance moves are priced on what you are moving and how far it is going, not on the clock. A walkthrough, in person or by video, lets us see your inventory and give you one firm number.
Once you approve it, that price is locked in. Highway delays, weather and drive time are our problem, not yours.
Pricing method
Flat rate
Confirmed in writing after your walkthrough. Changes only if you add items or services.
Volume of your move
The amount of furniture and boxes sets how much truck space you need.
Distance and route
Longer routes and remote destinations take more driver time and fuel.
Moving date
Summer and month-end dates are busiest. Flexible dates can lower your price.
Extras you add
Packing, storage or specialty items are quoted up front.
Move options
Choose the option that fits your move
Shared load
Your belongings share truck space with other moves on the same route, which lowers the cost.
- Lower price for smaller moves
- Wider delivery window
- Great for 1 to 2 bedrooms
Storage in transit
New home not ready yet? We hold your things in secure storage and deliver on your date.
- Short or longer term
- Stored in our own facility
- One move, one coordinator
[Confirm which of these options PinkBird offers before launch.]

Health coverage
Some provinces have a waiting period before your health coverage starts. Check with your new province and your old one before you go.
Driver's licence and vehicle
Most provinces require you to switch your licence and registration within a set time after you move. Check the deadline where you are headed.
Mail and government accounts
Set up mail forwarding with Canada Post and update your address with the CRA, your bank and your insurer.
Hazardous and restricted items
Propane, fuel, paint and aerosols can't travel on a moving truck. Use them up or dispose of them safely before move day.
