FAQ
Straight answers about moving PEI.
There are local movers on the Island, but none that specialize in moving off or onto PEI. They focus on moves within Prince Edward Island. That's the gap Movesly fills: we're a moving broker that partners with vetted, licensed companies running Island and mainland lanes, and we coordinate your move end to end.
Most Island moves land between roughly $1,700 and $4,500 depending on the lane, the size of your home, how much you're bringing, and whether you need packing or storage. PEI–Halifax and PEI–New Brunswick are the cheapest lanes; Ontario, Quebec and Western Canada cost more. Our instant estimate gives you a range in about 90 seconds.
PEI is our main focus, in both directions, but we specialize in all of the Maritimes: Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Newfoundland included. We also handle long hauls into Ontario, Quebec and the rest of Canada, so a cross-country move is no problem.
A partner moving company. Our primary partner is Queens and Kings Moving, operating in New Brunswick and Ontario. Movesly is a broker and does not move furniture itself. We qualify your move, shop it against partner availability and rates, and hand it to the crew best suited to it. Every partner is licensed, insured and reference-checked.
No. It is an estimate of the lowest available cost based on what you tell us, and it is subject to change once a partner confirms access, dates, and final volume. It is designed to be realistic rather than optimistic, so there are fewer surprises later.
Four to six weeks is comfortable; peak summer months and month-end dates fill fastest. If your dates are flexible, tell us. Flexible windows often ride along with an existing partner run and cost noticeably less.
Yes. We can arrange full or partial packing services through our partner crews, including furniture wrapping, dish barrels, and wardrobe boxes. Just let us know in the estimator, and we'll build that into your range and match you with a crew that offers it.
Life happens. If your dates shift, contact us as soon as you know. We'll check partner availability, adjust the route if needed, and let you know if any fees apply. The earlier you tell us, the more flexibility we usually have.
Yes. We handle heavy and specialty items through crews with the right equipment and experience. In the estimator, add the items you need moved and we'll factor in the weight, access, and handling so the crew arrives prepared.
Yes. We can arrange short-term storage between your move-out and move-in dates, or longer-term storage if you need it. Let us know your timeline and we'll include storage options in the estimate and route plan.
