AMJ

Moving is one of life’s biggest transitions—and when you’re moving with kids, the logistics aren’t the only thing to plan for. From emotional goodbyes to new routines, children feel the impact of a move just as much as adults—often more. But with the right approach, the experience doesn’t have to be stressful. In fact, it can be empowering, exciting, and even fun. At AMJ, we’ve supported thousands of family moves across Canada, and one thing we know for sure: a little preparation goes a long way when it comes to helping kids adjust. Here are a few strategies to keep in mind: 👨👩👧👦 Talk early, talk often Children thrive with predictability. Give them plenty of time to process the change, ask questions, and even express concern. Share what the new home looks like, where their room will be, and what to expect during moving day. 📦 Let them take part in the process Involve your kids in age-appropriate ways—whether it’s packing their toys, decorating their moving boxes, or helping label what’s going where. Giving them a sense of control helps reduce anxiety. ❤️ Stick to routines where you can Amid the chaos of a move, keeping regular mealtimes, bedtimes, and screen time limits can offer kids a sense of stability. Small consistencies help them feel grounded in a time of big change. 🎁 Create a “first night” box Pack a special box just for them—with favorite bedtime items, books, comfort objects, snacks, and a small surprise. It makes that first night in a new home feel warm, safe, and familiar. 📍 Revisit the positives Talk often about the benefits of the move—like more space, new friends, a closer school, or parks nearby. Help them see the opportunities ahead. At AMJ, we know that a move isn’t just about getting from Point A to Point B—it’s about carrying what matters most through the journey. That’s why we don’t just offer moving services—we offer support, care, and expertise built around the real people behind every move. Whether you’re moving across the street or across the country, we’re here to help your whole family feel at home—every step of the way. 📦 Ready to plan your family’s next chapter?

Thinking of moving into a smaller space? Whether you’re an empty nester, retiring, or just simplifying your lifestyle, downsizing your home can feel overwhelming—but it doesn’t have to be. Start by breaking it down: ✅ Room-by-room edits – Don’t try to tackle everything at once. Go room by room, starting with low-emotion spaces (like storage areas or the garage). ✅ Keep, donate, or store – Ask yourself: Do I love it? Do I use it? Would I buy it again? If not, it may be time to let go. ✅ Use storage solutions wisely – If you’re not ready to part with seasonal items or heirlooms, AMJ offers secure, climate-controlled storage to make the transition easier. Downsizing isn’t about losing space—it’s about gaining clarity, comfort, and control over your environment. And when you move with AMJ, we’re here every step of the way—from packing support to secure storage, and everything in between. 📦 Ready to move forward?

🍪 Why supporting Girl Guides of Canada matters to AMJ At AMJ, we don’t just move homes and businesses—we move with purpose. That’s why we’re incredibly proud to serve as the official distributor of Girl Guide cookies across Canada. In the words of our President & CEO, Pierre Frappier, this partnership is more than just logistics—it’s about values that align deeply with who we are as a company. The Girl Guides of Canada organization has been empowering girls for over a century, helping them build confidence, leadership skills, and a strong sense of community responsibility. These are values that don’t just prepare girls for the future—they build better communities today. From coast to coast, thousands of AMJ team members work together to help ensure these iconic cookies reach neighborhoods everywhere. But behind every cookie box is a much bigger mission—one that encourages girls to: ✅ Develop leadership through hands-on experience ✅ Embrace inclusion and teamwork ✅ Gain confidence in their voice and impact ✅ Engage with their communities in meaningful ways These are the same principles that guide our teams: lead with integrity, work collaboratively, and give back where we can. Supporting the Girl Guides means supporting a brighter, more connected future—one where young people are equipped to lead with compassion and courage. We're honored to play a role in helping this movement thrive and reach more Canadians every year. 📦 Whether it’s a cross-country relocation or a cookie delivery, AMJ believes in delivering more than just the goods—we deliver with purpose.

🚨 5 Common Office Moving Mistakes (And How to Avoid Them) Relocating your office isn’t just about packing boxes—it’s about minimizing downtime, protecting assets, and keeping your business running. At AMJ, we’ve seen it all—and we’re here to help you avoid the most common (and costly) mistakes. 1. Lack of a Clear Plan Waiting until the last minute leads to confusion, delays, and missed deadlines. ✅ Start planning 6+ months in advance ✅ Create a move timeline ✅ Partner with professionals who specialize in business moves 2. Poor Communication with Employees & Stakeholders Moves impact staff, clients, and service providers—don’t leave them in the dark. ✅ Announce early & assign internal leads ✅ Notify vendors & clients of changes ✅ Set up mail forwarding in advance 3. Overlooking IT & Data Security Technology is your backbone—mishandling it can be devastating. ✅ Back up all data ✅ Coordinate with IT specialists ✅ Ensure new location is tech-ready 4. Inefficient or Last-Minute Packing Office packing requires planning—rushed efforts cause damage and confusion. ✅ Label everything clearly ✅ Use professional packing services ✅ Encourage staff to pack personal items early 5. Choosing the Cheapest Mover Instead of the Right One Low bids often mean high risks—like hidden fees, damages, or poor service. ✅ Choose movers with proven corporate experience ✅ Ensure licensing, insurance, and transparent pricing ✅ Ask about full-service solutions including packing, storage & IT relocation The Bottom Line: A smooth move starts with strategy.

🌍 Sustainability in Motion: How AMJ Is Paving the Way for Greener Moves Sustainability isn’t just a trend—it’s a necessity. At AMJ, we believe that how we move matters. That’s why we’ve made it our mission to reduce environmental impact while still delivering the high-quality, reliable service our customers count on. From families settling into a new home to businesses expanding across the country, every relocation is a chance to do better—for our clients and for the planet. Why Moving Needs a Green Makeover Let’s face it—traditional moves can be wasteful. 🚛 High fuel consumption 📦 Excessive use of single-use packaging 🗑️ Tons of waste from discarded items We saw an opportunity to change that. And we did. How AMJ Is Leading the Charge ♻️ Smarter Packing Materials We offer reusable moving crates, biodegradable packing supplies, and a minimal-waste approach to every move. 🚛 Fuel-Efficient & Electric Vehicles We're actively building a hybrid and electric fleet while using smart route optimization to reduce emissions. 💡 Donation & Diversion Programs Furniture, electronics, and other items are redirected from landfills to local charities or proper recycling partners. Less waste, more impact. 📲 Digital Move Management We help our customers stay organized with digital inventories, energy-efficient setup guidance, and responsible decluttering. Why It Matters—For Businesses Too If your organization is working toward CSR or ESG goals, sustainability should extend beyond your walls—including how you move. Working with AMJ means: ✔️ Measurable impact on waste diversion ✔️ Reduced carbon footprint during relocation ✔️ Support for community donation programs ✔️ A powerful story to tell your stakeholders A Culture of Community and Responsibility Sustainability is just one part of our bigger mission to support communities across Canada. From our charitable partnerships to our eco-conscious practices, we’re proud to be a mover with purpose.

💡 Think a DIY Move Saves Money? Think Again. At first glance, renting a truck and handling your move in-house seems like a budget-friendly plan. But the truth? DIY moves often cost more than hiring professionals. From hidden fees and lost productivity to property damage and liability risks, those savings can vanish fast. Here’s what most people don’t consider: 🚛 Truck Rentals Mileage fees, fuel costs, and insurance add up quickly. A single rental can cost $500+ per day without including labor or packing time. 📦 Packing Materials & Equipment DIY moves often underestimate the cost of boxes, wrap, and rented dollies. Professionals like AMJ bring everything needed—and know how to use it properly. ⏳ Lost Time = Lost Revenue When employees are packing instead of working, your business suffers. Professional movers get it done faster, so you can stay focused on your operations. ⚠️ Injury & Liability Risks Without proper training, moving heavy equipment leads to injury—and potential legal headaches. AMJ’s trained, insured teams prevent that. 🖥 Risk of Damage From antique furniture to fragile tech, one mistake can cost thousands. Our teams use custom crating, protective padding, and proper loading methods to ensure everything arrives safely. 🧠 The Smarter Investment Hiring AMJ means a smoother, safer, faster move—and often a more affordable one when you factor in the real costs of doing it yourself. With us, you get: ✅ A fully managed, stress-free move ✅ Professional-grade packing & protection ✅ Trained, insured, and bonded movers ✅ Reduced downtime & disruption ✅ Free virtual or in-person estimates A move isn’t just about transporting things—it’s about protecting your home, business, and peace of mind. 📍 Ready to make your move the right way? 📞 Get your free quote today → https://lnkd.in/eAs8W6P #AMJ #MakeYourBestMove #StressFreeMoving #OfficeMove #BusinessMove #CorporateRelocation #MovingTips
