Tips for a smooth move
- Steep Hills Warning: Uptown Saint John has some of the steepest residential streets in Canada. Tell your movers if you are on a hill so they bring the right truck brakes and wheel chocks.
- The Bridge Bottleneck: Crossing the Reversing Falls Bridge can add significant travel time during rush hour. Try to schedule moves between East and West sides for mid-day.
- It's 'Saint John': Ensure you don't book movers for 'St. John's' (Newfoundland) by mistake. We double-check postal codes, but always verify the province.
- Ferry Access: If you are moving to the Kingston Peninsula, check ferry schedules and weight limits for moving trucks before booking.
