What is the cheapest way to move a couch?

The cheapest way to move a couch is to book a flat-rate same-day delivery service. In Ontario, services like GoGedit start at $79 — far cheaper than renting a truck, hiring full-service movers, or asking friends. You book online, a driver picks up and delivers your couch.

Step-by-step: How to move a couch cheaply

  1. 1

    Measure your couch

    Check the dimensions (length, width, height) and note if it disassembles. Most standard sofas fit in a cargo van; sectionals may require a box truck.

  2. 2

    Compare your options

    Compare same-day delivery services, truck rentals, and full-service movers. For a single couch, a flat-rate delivery service is almost always the cheapest and easiest option.

  3. 3

    Book a same-day delivery service

    Use GoGedit to book online in minutes. Enter your pickup and delivery addresses, describe the item, and choose your preferred time window.

  4. 4

    Prepare the couch for pickup

    Clear a path from the couch to the door. Remove cushions and wrap the frame in moving blankets if available. Disassemble legs if possible to reduce size.

  5. 5

    Confirm pickup and delivery

    Your driver will arrive in the scheduled window, load the couch, and deliver it to your destination. No heavy lifting required on your part.
