Long Distance Moving
Frost the Mover is a member of a network of agents for North American Van Lines which stretches around the globe. With the expertise of our local staff and our associates, we can provide the quality move you deserve.
The moving process begins with the estimate. Since long distance moves are based on weight, our moving consultant will come to your home to determine the weight of your belongings. It is our responsibility to provide an accurate estimate for the cost of any move related service you require.
We always provide competitive pricing and still retain our quality service.
Local Moves
Where long distance pricing is determined by weight, local moves are typically calculated on an hourly basis. Depending on the work required, we can provide a moving van with two or more workers. You can expect the same quality service on your local move. We can help you reduce the cost of your local move by advising on how best to prepare for moving day. Move readiness is the key to a successful move.
Office & Commercial Moving
Frost the Mover has worked with local businesses and industry for specialized relocations of offices and equipment since 1905. Clients can request large crews and multiple trucks to reduce downtime when completing commercial moves. Frost the Mover will supply all necessary packing materials for office moves,and can often provide containers for files. The staff at Frost the Mover is experienced in moving workstations, computer systems, and office equipment. At Frost, we know that downtime is lost time and lost time is money.
International Moves
Moving to another country can be one of life’s exciting opportunities. It opens up a whole new world of cultures and opportunities for you and your family.
During this time of great change it’s comforting to surround yourself with familiar names and faces from home – like North American International and our worldwide family of agents. Whether you’re moving an entire household or a few belongings, our people and technologies ensure that your belongings arrive on time and in the same condition as you shipped them.
We provide 20’ and 40’ containers, lift vans, crated service or loose load options.
There are three components to an overseas move. These are origin services, ocean freight and destination services. Origin services are packing, wrapping, loading your shipment and delivery to your shipping port. Destination services take care of all charges at destination for delivery to residence, unwrapping and removal of debris.
Storage
Sometimes storage is required and it becomes an integral part of the relocation process. When the need arises we’re here to help.
We offer short term and long term storage in our government approved warehouse facility. Our warehouse is alarm protected and monitored around the clock by a security company. Our fenced compound ensures our moving equipment and warehouse are kept safe.
Furniture is enclosed in specially built large wooden, stackable crates called hard pallets. Sofas and other large upholstered furniture pieces are stored in covered containers on sofa racks.
Cross-Border
On Canada’s southern border lies the world’s largest economy. Each year more and more families relocate across the Canada-U.S. border, transferring with companies or beginning new careers altogether.
Cross-border relocations are more complex than domestic ones and Frost the Mover is here to make sure the process goes smoothly.
North American’s large network of agents throughout Canada and the Unites States have a large dedicated cross-border fleet ready to provide a worry-free relocation to your new home.
We have the expertise required to help handle cross-border documentation and Customs clearance. We can also help identify restricted items so you can avoid problems at the border.
There are different kinds of services you can expect from planning your move and packing your
belongings to transportation and unloading the items to your new home.
If you have some special requirements or you need some special services, get in touch with
your mover and discuss all the details.
Local (intrastate) moves are generally based on a per-hour cost for the personnel and
the number of vehicles that the mover provides (up to a certain distance, with longer
distances based on the weight of your shipment and the mileage it is transported) and the
level of liability that the mover will cover in the event of loss or damage is generally
less than would apply for an interstate move.
