One of our most active US to Canada routes is New York to Toronto. The majority of shipments are from the NYC boroughs (Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens) and the surrounding metro area including Long Island and Westchester. Many of the clients on this route are tech workers and finance professionals moving to Toronto jobs, Canadian citizens returning home after time in the US, and families moving for university or healthcare reasons.
Most shipments are one and two-bedroom apartment loads, considering how similar NYC and downtown Toronto urban densities are. Our standard process includes taking care of the certificate of insurance, elevator reservations, and parking permits for pickups in high-rises in Manhattan and Brooklyn brownstones. In New York, the price is locked by volume before pickup. In Toronto, it doesn't matter what the access conditions or timing at the border, the price is locked in at delivery.

Your Toronto building may require a Certificate of Insurance (COI), elevator reservations, or the use of smaller shuttle trucks due to restricted truck access. In these situations, additional handling costs may apply.
