Our Moving Services

Moving Services in St. Thomas

We move full houses, apartments and single heavy pieces in St. Thomas. Choose the service that fits your move and tell us about your inventory, access and timing when you request a quote.

Residential-Moving-icon

Residential Moving

We move every part of a house, from the bedrooms to the garage and the shed. Our residential moving services include wrapping, loading and setting up your furniture again. Have a farm home in Central Elgin with a barn or a long lane? Our farmhouse moving service plans for that.

Corporate-Moving-icon

Office & Commercial Moving

Moving an office or a shop around Talbot Street downtown? Our business movers plan the move around your opening hours, so you lose as little time as possible. We move desks, shelves, files and stock. Every business move gets its own quote.

Specialty-Moving-icon

Piano Moving

A piano is heavy and easy to damage, so it needs a plan of its own. In an older St. Thomas home, the stairs may be steep and the turns tight. Our piano movers check the stairs and doorways at both homes before they lift it.

Packing-Services-icon

Packing Services

Packing takes longer than most people think. Our packing services come with boxes, tape and padding, and we label every box with its room. Unpacking is also available in St. Thomas; tell us what help you need so we can include it in your quote. In homes with narrow stairs, smaller boxes that are packed well make each trip up and down easier.

Apartment & Condo Movers

Moving out of an apartment? Tell us your floor, whether there is an elevator and where the truck can park. Our apartment and condo movers work around the time your building gives you. Many upstairs units downtown have only stairs, so please let us know.

Junk Removal

Clearing out a basement or an attic before you sell? Our junk removal service takes away old furniture and things you no longer want. You can add it to the same booking as your move.

What Merc Movers Customers Say

I recently hired Merc Movers for a long-distance move from London, Ontario to Niagara Falls, and overall it was a smooth experience.

The movers arrived on time in London, fully prepared with the right equipment and packing materials. They handled furniture carefully and worked efficiently without wasting time. Everything was loaded securely, which gave me confidence for the long drive.

The delivery in Niagara Falls was just as organized. Nothing was damaged, and the team placed items exactly where I asked. The crew was professional, polite, and patient throughout the process.

Pricing was fair compared to other quotes I received. No hidden fees or last-minute surprises, which is a big plus because that's a common issue with some movers. Many companies emphasize clear pricing and avoiding "surprise charges," which is something I specifically looked for.

Overall, I'd recommend them if you're moving between cities in Ontario. Just make sure to get a detailed quote beforehand and confirm timing.

Moving Prices in St. Thomas

Our St. Thomas rates start at $129 an hour for small moves and $189 an hour for residential moves. Your first booking is 10% off. The final cost depends on your inventory, access and the services you choose. Before accepting your quote, check the crew size, truck inclusion, minimum booking, taxes and when billable time starts and ends. Confirm any travel, fuel or additional service charges too, so you understand the full cost before booking.

Small Move

$129 /hour

Studio, one-bedroom homes and single items

Large Move

Custom quote

Bigger homes, farm properties and businesses

What Affects Your Moving Cost

The more furniture you have, the longer the move takes. Stairs and a long walk to the truck add time too. Any fuel or travel charge is listed on your written quote. If you want one fixed price instead, ask us for a flat-rate quote.

How to Save on Your Move

The best way to save is to make the job shorter. Pack and tape every box the night before, and stack them near the door. Sell or give away what you will not use in your new home, so there is less to carry.

Trucks and Moving Equipment

We typically use a 20 ft truck for one- or two-bedroom moves and a 26 ft truck for three- or four-bedroom moves. Final selection depends on inventory and access. Every crew brings dollies, straps, moving blankets and shrink wrap. In older homes with narrow doors, we take legs and doors off furniture when needed.

Getting to Know St. Thomas

St. Thomas is the seat of Elgin County. The city has many buildings from before 1914, so older homes sit next to newer ones. That is why we always ask about stairs and doorways before moving day.

Popular Areas in St. Thomas

Downtown – The area around Talbot Street.
South end – Home to Pinafore Park and Pinafore Lake.
North end – Home to Waterworks Park, along Kettle Creek.
West end – Home to the Elgin Military Museum.

Moving a Piano or a Single Item in St. Thomas

Not every move is a full house. Sometimes it is just a piano, a couch from a seller or a new fridge. We do these small jobs too.

For a piano, we start with a few questions. Is it an upright or a grand? How many steps are there at each home? Are any doorways or turns tight? With those answers, we send the right crew and bring the right gear.

Ask us to confirm the hourly rate and minimum booking for your single-item move. Washers, dryers and stoves go with our appliance moving service. Empty appliances before moving day and confirm any disconnection requirements with us. Arrange a qualified professional for gas connections.

Need it moved today? If a crew and a truck are free, we can often fit in a small job. Call us, and we will tell you right away.

Student Moving

Students at Fanshawe College’s St. Thomas campus can book our student movers for a room or a small apartment. Tell us your inventory and access details so we can confirm whether the $129-per-hour small-move rate applies.
