About MovingWaldo

MovingWaldo is a technology company that specializes in simplifying the moving process for individuals and families. Our comprehensive suite of services includes booking trustworthy movers, comparing internet plans, and automating administrative tasks, which can save users hours of paperwork.

MovingWaldo is a completely free website that provides information on various moving companies. We are proud to say that our reviews are not sponsored, and we have independently evaluated all the companies that we recommend. However, we do generate revenue through our partnerships with these companies. Rest assured, these partnerships do not influence the integrity and the transparency of our recommendations in any way. 

Absolutely – MovingWaldo is legit! The company was established in 2015 in Montreal, Canada as part of District 3 Innovation Center, affiliated to Concordia University.

In May 2017, the founders were seen on the Canadian show Dragon’s Den (Shark Tank in the USA) and supported by many reliable news media sources such as Huffington Post and CTV News. MovingWaldo has hundreds of customer reviews on Google and Facebook. 

We believe that moving should be nothing but an amazing experience!

Online Movers Booking Service

Our Online Movers Booking Service utilizes a unique technology to provide you with multiple estimates from Waldo Verified moving companies, all within minutes. Once you fill out a brief form detailing your moving criteria, our platform scans through available movers in our network and presents you with the best options for your move. This streamlined process allows you to compare and book your move with ease and confidence.

Local and long-distance moves: Whether you’re relocating across town or across the country, our platform facilitates both local and long-distance moves. With our network of trusted moving companies, you can rest assured that your belongings will be handled with care and transported safely to your new destination.

Packing and unpacking service: Simplify the moving process with our professional packing and unpacking services. Our Waldo Verified movers are equipped to efficiently pack your belongings, ensuring they are properly secured for transport. Upon arrival at your new home, we can also assist with unpacking, saving you time and effort.

Storage solutions: If you need temporary storage for your belongings during your move, our Waldo Verified partners offer convenient storage solutions to accommodate your needs. Whether you require short-term or long-term storage, we provide secured facilities, ensuring a safe environment for your possessions until you’re ready to retrieve them.

Our algorithms calculate moving quotes based on various factors such as the distance between your current and new address, hourly labor costs, estimated relocation time, and any additional fees for special items. These quotes are generated by our platform using standardized metrics to ensure consistency and transparency in pricing. While the quotes provide a good estimate, your final cost may vary depending on the actual duration and any additional services you may require during the move.

MovingWaldo is not a moving company itself; rather, it is a sophisticated moving platform that connects users with a network of professional movers and service providers. We meticulously vet and verify each moving company in our network to ensure they meet our high standards of professionalism and reliability.

Our platform streamlines the moving process by collecting pertinent information about your move and presenting you with multiple estimates from Waldo Verified professional movers. You can then compare these options and select the one that best fits your needs. Additionally, our platform offers a wealth of resources to assist you throughout your move, from organizing your inventory to finalizing payment.

Simply fill out our quick moving form with details about your current and future residences. Once submitted, our platform will immediately begin processing your information and matching you with your ideal moving company from our network of Waldo Verified movers.

Our platform is designed to assist you throughout your search for a professional mover. Provide us with your specific requirements and preferences, and we’ll present you with a curated list of suitable options. Whether you need assistance with special accommodations or have specific criteria in mind, our platform and team are here to support you every step of the way.

If you’re unable to locate a particular moving company on our platform, it may be because they have not yet joined our network or did not meet our verification standards. Our verification process evaluates factors such as accreditations, customer reviews, experience, professionalism, and online reputation to ensure the quality and reliability of the movers in our network.

We value your feedback and welcome suggestions for reputable moving companies that you believe should be included in our network. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us with your recommendations.

Yes, you can! We understand that some individuals may prefer a more personal touch when arranging their move. To speak with one of our knowledgeable agents about your specific moving needs, simply book a move consultation through the following link: https://booking.movingwaldo.com/free-consultation. During the consultation, our agent will discuss your requirements, answer any questions you may have, and provide personalized assistance to ensure a smooth moving experience tailored to your preferences.

If MovingWaldo is unable to find a network moving company in your area, rest assured that we strive to provide alternative solutions to meet your needs. In such cases, our platform will introduce you to reliable movers located near you. 

However, please note that you will be responsible for contacting these movers directly to discuss your requirements and arrange your move. Additionally, in certain areas, our services may not be available due to various factors. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and recommend exploring alternative options for your relocation needs.

Moving company verification and screening

Moving companies first go through a preliminary verification process that considers factors such as accreditations, client reviews, years of experience, professionalism, and overall positive online presence.

After the company passes the preliminary verification, to become Waldo Verified, we sit down with the owner to discuss their experience, credentials, and credibility. Only incorporated and trustworthy companies are Waldo Verified.

We also review their insurance certificates. Waldo Verified moving companies must carry a minimum of $1 million in liability insurance, as well as legal cargo protection.

Only Waldo Verified companies undergo an interview process in which we sit down with the owner to discuss their experience, credentials, and credibility. In order to become Waldo Verified, the company must show proof of insurance. 

Moving companies that do not go through an interview process pass a preliminary verification that considers accreditations, client reviews, years of experience, professionalism, and overall positive online presence.

You can tell that a moving company has been Waldo Verified when they have the Waldo Verified mention. For example:

If the moving company has not gone through the Waldo Verified verification process, it has gone through our preliminary verification process. It considers factors such as accreditations, client reviews, years of experience, professionalism, and overall positive online presence.

To become Waldo Verified, we sit down with the owner to discuss their experience, credentials, and credibility. Only incorporated and trustworthy companies are Waldo Verified. 

We also consider their insurance certificates. Waldo Verified moving companies must carry a minimum of $1 million in liability insurance, as well as legal cargo protection.

Becoming Waldo Verified is a voluntary process for our network partners. The fact that a network partner is not Waldo Verified does not mean that they are not incorporated, experienced, and fully insured. It means that the partner did not go through the extensive Waldo Verified process.

It is customary for moving companies that are not Waldo Verified to undertake the preliminary verification process. This process considers factors such as accreditations, client reviews, years of experience, professionalism, and overall positive online presence. 

Hiring a moving company that is not Waldo Verified is entirely up to you, but make sure to ask the company questions about their incorporation and insurance certificates before hiring them.

It is possible that there are no booking agents available in your region. If this is the case, know that the movers listed in your area have already gone through our preliminary verification process, and you will need to contact them directly.

You have a guarantee that a moving company is licensed and insured when they have the Waldo Verified mention. Otherwise, you should ask moving companies about their incorporation and insurance certificate by yourself.

For example:

For example, you can ask a moving company to provide you with a certificate of registration and insurance.

We want to hear your feedback about moving companies, whether they are listed on our site or not. 

If you have hired this moving company through MovingWaldo, please share your concern with our customer service team. Your feedback is important to ensure we keep recommending trustworthy companies. 

If you have hired this company in the past, but not through MovingWaldo, feel free to share this concern with us directly. 

Other service providers like telecom or insurance corporations are not Waldo Verified, but do go through our preliminary verification process that considers factors like client reviews, years of experience, professionalism, accreditations, and overall positive online presence. 

The moving industry is highly unregulated, making it difficult to trust moving companies with your cherished household possessions. This is why a thorough verification process like Waldo Verified is crucial for moving companies. We already have done the due diligence for you.

Address change service

You can use MovingWaldo’s Change of Address Service by simply entering your estimated moving date, your current and new address, and your contact information here. The service will then allow you to notify over 1000 private and public organizations in a few clicks!

You can select the organizations you wish to notify of your new address, and we will transfer your moving form on your behalf.

The service is currently available in Canada only.

Get started

MovingWaldo’s address change service is currently only available in Canada. We’re actively working to bring our address change service to the United States in the future. Stay tuned for updates on this important development.

While the address change service is not available in the United States, MovingWaldo offers many useful resources like this change of address checklists for Americans. 

There are over 1000 companies and organizations available on our address change service. We can notify organizations such as governmental agencies, financial institutions, insurance carriers, telecom providers, newspapers and magazines, charities, rewards programs, and even more! 

We recommend changing your address 3 to 4 weeks before you move. In your form, you will indicate the effective date of your move. This information will be transferred to the companies you wish to inform of your new address. 

To use change your address, you will need:

  • Your name and contact information;
  • Your old and new address;
  • The date of your move (approximate).

Some service providers will require additional information, which you should know by heart or easily find in your wallet (example: type of vehicle insured). This information allows organizations to find your records, and it can also act as identification questions.

We are always open for suggestions of new organizations and companies to add to the platform. You can contact us with suggestions here.

Updating your address with certain organizations, such as banks or government agencies, may require sharing highly sensitive information such as your social insurance number. It is why they may be listed as “Do it yourself (DIY)”.

In such cases, you will need to contact them directly for confidentiality reasons. However, we’re here to help! We will conveniently guide you through the procedure and redirect you to the appropriate resources to ensure a seamless and secure transition. 

After selecting the companies and organizations, you can always go back to the Change of Address service page, and you will see the organizations notified at the top of the page. In addition, you will receive a confirmation email from MovingWaldo that we have notified the companies and organizations on your behalf. 

As a safety measure, each person who wishes to change their address on the platform must create a unique account. A valid and different email address is also required for each account.

First, you will receive an email confirming that MovingWaldo has received your requests. Then, MovingWaldo will send your address changes to the service providers you have selected, so they can update your record. Generally, we ask to allow the service providers up to 10 working days to complete the change in your account.

Some companies and organizations send confirmation. It depends on their internal policy. If you have not received a confirmation within 10 days of your request, we recommend that you confirm directly with your service providers.

Rest assured, MovingWaldo does not ask for your social insurance number (SIN) or bank account numbers. MovingWaldo simply requires your full name and date of birth so that your service providers can identify you. You will also have to enter some information about your move (old and new address, approximate date of your move).

Internet plan comparator

At MovingWaldo, we follow a thorough process for selecting internet providers to ensure that our customers receive reliable and high-quality internet services.

First, we verify that the ISPs listed on our website are recognized by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC).

We then verify the availability of internet plans at your address using our Telecom Module, which allows you to search by postal code.

To ensure that we always offer the most up-to-date packages available, we conduct regular audits of ISPs’ websites.

Additionally, we monitor new promotions and negotiate exclusive offers on your behalf that are available to you by following links from our website.

Internet plans are updated weekly by our experts to ensure you get the accurate pricing information. These offers are subject to the availability of services at your address. Pricing is subject to change.

MovingWaldo audits Internet service providers’ websites and offers to break down the best options for you. We list 3 to 5 popular plans per company to avoid choice overload. We mainly select Internet plans based on speed, with a preference for plans that are common in the typical household (between 30 Mbps and 100 Mbps). 

Likewise, we also consider Internet plans that can be bundled with other services and select the best options based on price and the number of channels and themes. 

Some providers may offer only very high or very low Internet speeds (uncommon for the typical household), limiting the number of plans displayed. Therefore, we only recommend the most suitable options for the typical household on our website. You can visit the providers’ websites to browse plans that may be better suited for your needs.

MovingWaldo helps connect customers who are moving to new homes with our Internet network partners. In some instances, we have the ability to negotiate exclusive offers on your behalf, allowing you to save money when subscribing to our partners’ services. Any exclusive offers available are clearly highlighted in our Telecom module. Please note that not all Internet partners are able to provide exclusive deals.

Technical support

If it still does not work, you can contact us with the following information:

  • The email address you are trying to create an account with;
  • The date of the attempt; 
  • The device you used (computer, tablet, phone, etc.);
  • The reason for your message.

You can update your information from your MovingWaldo Profile in the drop-down menu. You can then resend your change of address.

It will be important to confirm with the companies that the correct address is in your file the next time you contact them.

Signing is important because it certifies to each company that you have indeed requested the address change. It is essential to reproduce your signature as much as possible! You can do it with your mouse, or with your finger if you are on your phone or your tablet.

When you enter your address, we use the Google Map system to recognize it. That said, sometimes the address is not recognized. In this situation, you will see that the address does not seem to register. Do not worry, it is always possible to fill each field manually!

If you enter the information in each field manually and the problem persists, it is possible that the problem is rather from your browser. Unfortunately, some are more problematic than others. In this case, you can always log off and log on again, or try it on another browser. We recommend using Google Chrome!
