Affordable Long Distance Moving Companies in London, Ontario

Travel distance, the amount you need to move, access at both properties and your delivery schedule can all affect the work involved.

Why Choose Merc Movers for Your Long Distance Move: Things to Consider
Merc Movers helps customers plan household and other eligible relocations from London, Ontario. Whether you are moving to another community in Southwestern Ontario or travelling farther across the province, the first step is to share your pickup address, destination, moving date and an accurate list of belongings.
A long-distance move needs a clear plan before loading begins. When you request a quote from Merc Movers, provide the details that help us assess the job and prepare an appropriate moving plan.
- Route, Inventory and Timing Planning: Your pickup address, the number and types of items determine the crew and truck, destination and preferred dates help establish the schedule.
- Move Type and Access: We plan property access, stairs, elevators, parking and building restrictions around your type of move.
- Packing and Additional Moving Services: Tell us about fragile, oversized or if you need packing, furniture dismantling or unloading assistance so the handling can be planned.
- Written Scope and Pricing: Review the services, charges, dates and payment terms before confirming your move.
Merc Movers is insured, and a basic insurance plan is recorded in our published terms. Ask for the applicable coverage details and limitations in writing before your move. For a broader checklist of questions to ask, read our guide on reviewing a moving quote before agreeing to the job.

Our Long Distance Moving Services from London
Household Moves Out of London
A long-distance move runs through the same stages as a local one, with tighter timing. Our household moving services cover packing and unpacking, dismantling and refitting furniture, loading, transport and unloading into the rooms you name. Truck guidance for London jobs is a 20 ft truck for one- to two-bedroom homes and a 26 ft truck for three- to four-bedroom homes.
Apartment and Condo Relocations to Another City
Long-distance jobs get complicated when a building sits at one or both ends. Our apartment and condo movers work around elevator reservations, loading-zone restrictions, parking limits and specific move-in or move-out hours. Two buildings mean two sets of rules, and both have to line up with the driving time between them.
Packing Services for a Longer Journey
Packing time can affect your schedule, particularly when the shipment includes fragile kitchenware, electronics, artwork or items that need extra protection. Our packing services cover home and office contents, full or partial packing, fragile-item preparation and supplies. If you are packing independently, our guide to protecting fragile and valuable items during a move explains why different belongings may need different preparation.
Moving Pianos, Specialty and Fragile Items
Pianos, instruments, antiques and artwork are booked through our specialty moving service for valuable items. Merc Movers also offers moving options for antiques and fragile belongings. If you are moving a musical instrument over a longer distance, read our guide to protecting musical instruments during long-distance transport. Include the instrument type, dimensions and any special handling requirements in your enquiry.
Commercial and Office Relocations from London
A business move may involve office furniture, equipment, documents and a schedule that needs to limit disruption. The inventory, building access and preferred moving window should be agreed before the work begins. For office or business relocations, our corporate moving service is a relevant starting point. Commercial loads are quoted individually, so share the premises details, equipment list and any timing restrictions which are crucial.
Storage Between Dates
Long-distance dates rarely meet perfectly. Household furniture storage bridges the gap, and junk removal clears eligible items you would rather not pay to transport.
Loading Help for a Separately Arranged Move
Not every move requires a company to provide the complete transport service. If you have hired a long-distance carrier or a container, you may need help loading your belongings at the pickup property or unloading them at the destination. Our labour-only moving crews can load in London or unload at the far end. The vehicle is yours to arrange.

Planning a Long-Distance Move From London
The more accurately you describe the move, the easier it is to assess the resources and timing required. Gather these details before requesting estimates.
- Pickup and delivery addresses – The London address and the destination, with postal codes.
- Inventory – A room-by-room checklist, with heavy, oversized and fragile pieces marked.
- Access at each end – Stairs, elevators, driveway width, long carries and truck parking.
- Dates – Your moving day, your possession date and anything that must arrive by a fixed hour. See how to choose a suitable moving day in London.
- Extra services – Packing, dismantling, storage or junk removal, decided before the quote is written rather than on the day.
Send those with your enquiry, and the crew size, the truck and the departure window can be planned in a single pass.

Bigger homes and commercial loads are quoted individually
On a long-distance job, the number follows the volume, the distance itself, how many movers are required, stairs and elevators, long carries, parking, packing and unpacking, specialty items, dismantling and refitting, and any wait caused by building restrictions.
Fuel, mileage and travel-time terms belong in the written quote for your move. In Ontario, consumer moving contracts above $50 must be in writing, showing the service description, itemized prices, the total, the service dates and the payment terms.
How to Compare Long Distance Moving Companies in London
When comparing moving companies, give each provider the same inventory, addresses and access information. Otherwise, the estimates may cover different services and may not be directly comparable.
Before choosing a long-distance mover, ask these questions:
- Whether one crew handles both ends, or the load transfers en route
- What the delivery window is, and what happens if it moves
- What the insurance covers and where the limit sits
- How stairs, long carries and waiting time are billed
- Whether storage is available if your dates slip
A useful estimate should explain the work, pricing and payment terms in writing. Be cautious if a company will not explain its charges, avoids questions about damage responsibility or introduces unexpected terms after the move has started.
