Why Transcontinental
Cross-border moving, done by people who only do cross-border moving
Long-distance moves fail in the gaps: between the packers and the driver, between the driver and customs, between customs and delivery day. We close those gaps by owning all of them.
- Customs is our job, not yours
- We prepare your inventory and import documentation, and tell you exactly which personal papers you need.
- One specialist, start to finish
- The same person owns your file from the first quote through delivery. No handoffs, no retelling your story.
- Cross-border since 2012
- Not a local mover taking the occasional long job. Canada–USA relocation is what we were built to do.
- Written estimates, no surprises
- Your quote is based on a real inventory, and the number we give you is the number we work to.

Common questions
Customs, cost and timing
Cross-border pricing depends on the weight or volume of your shipment, the distance between origin and destination, access at both addresses, and the services you add such as packing or storage. Because no two moves are the same, we don't publish a flat rate — we review your inventory and give you a written estimate for your specific move. Larger or more complex homes are usually quoted after a site visit so the numbers hold up on moving day.
