The ongoing discussions around tariffs between Canada and the U.S. have raised concerns across various industries, including logistics and transportation. When the 30-day holding period nears its end, many are wondering how potential retaliatory tariffs on U.S. goods entering Canada could affect the moving business. While tariffs can lead to economic ripple effects, we at Relocation Engineers don’t anticipate a significant impact on our operations or pricing. Here’s why:
Stable Wages, Consistent Quality
Relocation Engineers has always prioritized paying wages higher than the industry standard. Regardless of potential economic shifts, we remain committed to fairly compensating our highly skilled staff. Our customers can rest assured that any tariff-related changes won’t impact the level of service they receive.
Minimal Impact on Moving Supplies
One major concern with tariffs is the potential increase in the cost of materials. However, most moving supplies, including packing boxes, padding, and wrapping materials, are manufactured in Canada. This means we don’t expect a dramatic price surge that could affect moving costs for our customers.
Fuel Prices: A Key Consideration
The biggest unknown factor is the cost of fuel. While tariffs could contribute to rising fuel prices, the reality is that fuel costs tend to climb in the summer months regardless. As a moving company that operates across Toronto, the GTA, and Durham Region, we always monitor fuel trends closely to keep our pricing competitive while maintaining the highest level of service.
Business as Usual for Spring Moving Season
February and early March are typically slower months in the moving industry, but as spring approaches, business picks up significantly. We are hopeful that any potential economic impacts from tariffs will not disrupt our ability to provide reliable and affordable moving services to our customers during our busiest time of the year.
Committed to Our Customers
At Relocation Engineers, we are 100% Canadian-owned and operated, and our focus has always been on delivering the best possible moving experience. We remain committed to keeping our prices as low as possible without sacrificing service quality, ensuring that our customers receive the smooth and stress-free move they deserve.
