Why Our Montreal to Chicago Moves Stand Out

Chicago has its own pace and parking rules, we plan every step to fit the city’s layout, your building’s requirements, and your personal schedule.

Durable Packing and Careful Handling

We use high-strength materials designed for long hauls, protecting your belongings from weather shifts, bumps on the interstate, and handling at the border. Antiques, artwork, and electronics get custom crating.

Navigation on Both Sides

Our Montreal-based team handles pickup and documentation, while our Chicago delivery partners are experts in building access, local regulations, and unloading logistics.

Transportation That Fits Your Situation

We offer direct truck transport, consolidated shipping for smaller moves, and optional holding time if your move-in date is flexible.

What to Know When Moving to Chicago from Montreal

Cross-border moves require more than just a truck, they demand planning, paperwork, and familiarity with U.S. city logistics.

Delivery Planning for Chicago Neighborhoods

From narrow alleys in Wicker Park to loading docks in the Loop, we customize your delivery to match your address. We assist with permits, elevator bookings, and entry coordination.

Border and Customs Coordination

You’ll need a valid passport, immigration paperwork (e.g., visa or work permit), and a detailed itemized inventory. We prepare everything, submit forms, and follow up with U.S. Customs to clear your shipment.

Optional Storage and Flexible Delivery

Not ready to move in? We can hold your items at secure facilities in either Montreal or Chicago and deliver when the timing is right.

"We relocated from Montreal to a condo in downtown Chicago, and Waypoint made it easy. They got us through customs quickly and knew exactly how to handle delivery in our building — even arranged elevator access. Highly recommend."
