Cactus Moving provides packing services in Ottawa for office spaces, apartments, condos, and houses, and we work as packers and movers in one crew. We pack by room, label boxes, prep fragile items, and stage packed cartons near the most efficient exit, so the moving crew can start loading right away. We also prepare paths, move light furniture closer to the doorway when it is safe. That setup reduces wasted trips, lowers the total hours, and keeps the move more predictable. Within Ottawa, pricing is transparent, with no hidden fees, and we do not add travel time, mileage, or insurance charges. Local bookings do not require a deposit, so you can reserve a date without prepay stress. Our teams have completed moves in multiple Canadian cities, and we bring that proven coordination and protection process into every Ottawa packing job.
Lock in your preferred moving day early at no cost. We hold your date while you finalize keys, elevator bookings, and other details, so prime weekends and month-end slots do not slip away. Change or confirm later without penalty.






Packing is easiest when the plan is simple and the order is clear. We confirm what must be packed first, what should stay out for the night, and what needs extra protection. We use proper materials and label boxes in a way that helps you unpack without guessing. Furniture and fragile items are wrapped in moving blankets, and TVs go in our TV boxes unless you use the original box.
We start with a short planning call to confirm your home type, your timeline, and what you want packed. Then we build a simple room list, flag fragile items, and confirm access details like stairs, elevators, and parking.
Your quote includes crew size, estimated hours, hourly rate, materials plan, and an arrival window. Within Ottawa, we do not add travel time, mileage, or insurance charges, so pricing is easier to compare.
If you request packing with materials, we bring boxes, paper, wrap, and tape, then pack by room and label clearly. If you only need help with breakables or a kitchen, we focus on the areas that save you the most time.
When the moving day comes our crews come on time and fully prepared. We protect floors, doors, railings, and elevators before loading begins (and before unloading begins). All furniture is wrapped in clean moving blankets and handled efficiently even if packing was not included. We load, secure, and safely transport your belongings to a new home.
After unloading, we do a final walkthrough to confirm rooms, labels, and placement, so you are not hunting for essentials. If packing was done the day before, we also confirm that paths and staged areas are left safe and tidy.
For local packing and moving jobs in Ottawa, you do not need a deposit to reserve a date. Payment is due after the job is complete, and the invoice matches the agreed hourly rate, materials, and time.
Once the job is finished, you receive a small cactus gift as a simple thank you.
If we earned it, a short review helps other Ottawa customers choose packers and movers with confidence. Your feedback also helps us improve training and process.

Yes. We can pack and stage the day before, then the moving crew arrives the next day to load and deliver, which helps the move start faster.
We pack by room and label boxes, then we stack boxes and bins near the best exit and keep clear paths for safe carrying.
We wrap furniture and fragile items in moving blankets, and we use the right materials for glass, dishes, and electronics. TVs go in our TV boxes unless you use the original box.

Overnight packing is useful when your day is full and you want the move ready for an early start. We can pack, label, and stage items in the evening, then the moving crew can load faster the next day. This option depends on availability and any building quiet hours.

Strong results come from repeatable training, not guesswork. Our movers complete structured training before they work on jobs, and refreshers cover packing methods, protection, safe lifting, and truck loading. Because we operate in multiple cities, we keep improving what works, then bring that experience into Ottawa.
