So you’re moving in Georgina. Congrats! You’ve probably already discovered that packing a garage is harder than winning hide-and-seek against your cat. Thankfully, On The Move Moving & Junk Removal is here to serve up hilarious help, expert moving tips, and some hard-won wisdom that’ll keep your moving day from becoming an epic saga (unless you want it to, in which case: bring popcorn).
Why Georgina Moves Are Unlike Anywhere Else
Let’s face it, moving in Georgina is never boring. One moment you’re marveling at the gorgeous view in Keswick; the next you’re stuck behind a family of ducks crossing the road with your entire life in a moving truck. Small-town charm? Absolutely! Smooth move? Only if you’ve got the right crew and a sense of humour.
Whether you’re lakeside in Sutton, mid-town in Jackson’s Point, or wrangling a heritage home in Pefferlaw, our team at On The Move Moving & Junk Removal is here to help. We bring muscles, moving blankets, and the patience of a saint, even when your mailbox tries to escape for the third time.
Georgina’s Funniest (& Most Useful) Moving Tips
1. The Great Garage Gambit
You might think you know what’s lurking in your garage. Spoiler: you don’t. Start packing it early or risk unearthing long-lost Christmas decorations on moving day (in July). Pro tip: label mystery boxes “Open at Your Own Risk”, it’ll make unpacking feel like a game show!
2. Box Forts: Not Just for Kids
Every mover knows to stack boxes, but the art is in making them stable. Remember, gravity is not your friend on a moving truck. Bonus points if your kids build a box fort and refuse to come out. (We move forts too, by the way. No child left behind!)
3. The Golden Rule: Feed Your Movers!
Whether you bribe friends or trust the pros (ahem: us), pizza and cold drinks will earn you eternal loyalty. Pro tip: Avoid burritos on moving day. Trust us. You don’t want to know why.
4. Label Like You’re Hosting a Game Show
You’ll thank yourself later for labeling EVERY side of the box. “Kitchen, Fragile,” “Bathroom, Read This First” or our personal favourite, “Misc, Paperwork I’ll Never Look At.”
5. Don’t Pack the Essentials… or Your Sanity
Keep a “survival kit” of snacks, coffee, spare socks, and your phone charger. Also, try not to pack your sense of humour with the fine china. You’ll need both.
6. Measure Twice, Haul Once
Thinking about that massive couch? Make sure it’ll fit through the new front door. Nothing ruins a moving day like having to explain to your partner why the new couch now lives on the porch, permanently.
7. Ask for Help (Or at Least Pretend To)
Your friends may owe you, but for a smooth, drama-free move, call On The Move Moving & Junk Removal. We know all the tricks (and we don't ghost you after two boxes).
☑️ The Georgina Moving Checklist (For Real Humans)
- Purge before you pack. If you haven’t used it since the Leafs’ last playoff run, let it go.
- Start packing EARLY. Like, yesterday.
- Reserve your moving date ASAP. Summer in Georgina = busy movers and more traffic near the lake.
- Notify your utility companies, you don’t want a surprise cold shower.
- Pack a cooler. That fridge isn’t making the ride with you.
- Celebrate when you’re done! You’ve earned it.

Your Burning Georgina Moving FAQs (Now With Extra Honesty)
Q: Are professional movers really worth it?
A: Unless you enjoy explaining to your uncle why your fridge is dented, YES. We save your back, your time, and your friendships.
Q: How far in advance should I book?
A: Ideally, before the first snowflake hits Lake Simcoe or as soon as you know your closing date. Summer fills up fast, book early so you’re not left moving with just your nephew and a rusty dolly.
Q: Do you supply packing materials?
A: Absolutely! Boxes, paper, tape, and even bubble wrap if you want to pop your stress away.
Q: Will you move my plants, pets, or secret collection of porcelain clowns?
A: Yes, to plants and clowns. No, to pets. (We love animals, but they do NOT love moving trucks.)
Q: Can you move me outside of Georgina or even Ontario?
A: Yup! We handle local moves, moves across the Durham Region, the GTA, and long-distance moves right across Ontario.
Q: What’s the weirdest thing you’ve moved?
A: We once moved an eight-foot garden gnome. If you call, we’ll tell you the story!
