Royal Moving & Storage

What Royal Moving & Storage does

Royal Moving & Storage Inc. is a privately held, locally owned moving and logistics company headquartered in Ottawa, Ontario, founded in 1997. The company provides residential and commercial relocation services, custom crating, and warehousing and logistics solutions, serving homeowners, businesses (including office, hospital, and government facilities), and commercial/industrial storage customers across Ottawa, nationally across Canada for long-distance moves, and cross-border to and from the United States. Service offerings are organized around four core lines: Residential Moving Services (local, long-distance, and cross-border relocations with packing support), Commercial Moving Services (office relocations, systems furniture installation, space planning, and sensitive equipment handling), Crating Services (custom wooden crates for electronics, artwork, medical equipment, motorcycles, and industrial equipment), and Warehousing & Logistics (short and long-term storage in a 60,000 sq ft class A heated, sprinklered, and secured facility with distribution and delivery support).

The company's underlying technology is operational rather than digital-first. It operates a custom-designed Inventory Control Management system paired with a state-of-the-art barcode tracking system that supports quick access, accurate recording, and retrieval of stored goods. The warehouse has ground and dock level access enabling simultaneous loading of multiple trucks, trailers, and shipping containers, supporting same-day and next-day delivery for warehousing customers. No proprietary AI, mobile applications, or public APIs are disclosed.

Royal Moving & Storage runs a quote-based, sales-led business model with no publicly disclosed pricing. Revenue is generated from professional services fees across one-time moves, recurring storage contracts, custom crating jobs, and distribution/logistics engagements. Customers initiate contact via toll-free and local phone lines, email ([email protected]), or an online quote request form. The go-to-market relies on direct outreach, a long-standing Ottawa brand presence (over 27 years), BBB accreditation, and membership in industry associations such as the Canadian Association of Movers. The company employs between 11 and 50 staff, including security cleared, bonded, and uniformed personnel capable of supporting government office relocations. No external investors, parent companies, funding rounds, or acquisitions are referenced in the available data.
