Book, Track and Tip Your Movers: How the App Works

Booking a mover through an app should be as clear as booking a ride: enter the job, see the price, pick a date, watch the crew arrive, pay in one place. This covers how that flow works on Tingsapp — the booking steps, live tracking on the day, and how payment and tipping are handled — plus what support looks like if something goes wrong. For a stage-by-stage view of the whole move, see booking to unpacking.

How the App Is Set Up

Two things sit behind the flow: customers get a price fixed from their inventory before booking, and movers take pre-paid jobs without a commission skim. That's why the price you see holds and why the crew has no reason to pad the hours.

Upfront, Fixed Pricing

There are no estimates, no hourly rates that shift mid-job, and no service fees charged to customers. When you enter your move details, Tingsapp instantly calculates your total cost. The price shown before you confirm is the exact amount you pay when the move is complete — nothing more.

Flexible Scheduling

Whether you are planning weeks ahead or need a last-minute move on short notice, Tingsapp is available to book any time — day or night, seven days a week. The platform does not require phone calls or business hours. You book at your convenience and your move is confirmed immediately.

Vetted, Professional Movers

Every mover on the Tingsapp platform is background-checked and rated by real customers after every completed job. Movers arrive equipped with the right tools and are trained to handle items with care, from furniture and appliances to fragile belongings. The ongoing rating system ensures a consistent standard of professionalism across all bookings.

Real-Time Tracking and In-App Communication

Once your booking is confirmed, you can track your movers in real time on moving day. You receive updates when movers are en route, when they arrive, and when the job is complete. In-app messaging and calling keep communication direct and simple throughout the process — no phone numbers to exchange, no third-party coordination required.

What Tingsapp Can Move for You

Tingsapp specialises in residential moving and item delivery across the Lower Mainland. The platform is built for the types of moves BC residents need most:

Service What It Includes
Full Home Moving Houses, condos, and apartments — loading, transport, and unloading
Small Moves Single items, a few pieces of furniture, studio apartments
Last-Minute Moving Short-notice bookings for urgent relocations
Store Delivery Furniture pickups from Marketplace, stores, and business deliveries

Every booking includes loading items at the pickup location, safe transportation, and unloading and placement at the destination. Having items ready for loading when movers arrive keeps the process efficient and on schedule.

What Tingsapp Doesn't Handle

To keep the experience fast, reliable, and cost-effective, the following fall outside Tingsapp's current scope:

  • Commercial or office relocations
  • Specialty items — pianos, safes, pool tables, or items requiring more than two movers
  • Packing, furniture assembly, or disassembly
  • Labour-only services for rental trucks or pods
  • Storage or long-term holding
  • Long-distance or cross-province moves

How the Booking Process Works

Booking a move with Tingsapp takes a few minutes from start to finish:

  1. Open the app or visit tingsapp.com/order
  2. Enter your move details — pickup and drop-off addresses, move type, date, and any relevant access notes
  3. See your instant, fixed price — no waiting for a quote
  4. Confirm your booking — it is locked in immediately
  5. Track your movers in real time on moving day and communicate directly through the app
  6. Pay securely through the app when the job is complete — all major credit cards, Apple Pay, and Google Pay accepted

Everything from booking through to payment happens in one place, without a single phone call required at any stage.

Support and Peace of Mind

Tingsapp provides basic coverage as required by law for all moves. For enhanced protection of high-value items, consulting your home or tenant insurance provider before your move is recommended.

If you ever need support or have questions about a booking, the Tingsapp Support Team can be reached by email at [email protected] or by phone at 1 (888) 818-6061.
