Making Small Moves Easy In Boston

October 13, 2010 by admin

There are lots of things to love about Boston — the people, the culture, the Red Sox and Patriots — but there’s one thing that can make life a little challenging.  Yes, we’re talking about that infamous Boston traffic.  Factor in the maze of narrow one-way streets, roundabouts, and drivers who are paying more attention to their Blackberry than the road and you can see why moving in Boston is such a challenge.

Moving To A New Apartment?

Finding great housing in Boston can be tough.  If you find a great apartment, you’ll want to jump on it fast.  Then it’s just a matter of moving all of your stuff into the new place.

There are a couple of ways you can handle your move.  You can try to pack all of your stuff into your car — or your friend’s car — and, making a few trips, move your clothes, your computer, your books, your electronics and more. Of course this idea falls apart if you have any furniture…and despite what may have worked when you were in college, bean bag chairs and futon cushions just don’t cut it where comfort is concerned.

You can try renting your own moving truck to pack furniture, larger possessions and the rest of your things.  That involves some heavy lifting — but the real trouble starts when it becomes time to get the show on the road. If you’ve never driven a 10′ or larger moving truck, you’re in for a surprise: it’s not as easy as it looks.  It’s not easy anywhere — but on the crazy streets of Boston, it’s particularly challenging.  If you have an accident – even just  a fender bender – your little move can be a big headache!

The best option is to opt for a moving company that specializes in small load moves.  When you don’t have a minimum load size, you know you’re not paying top dollar – so you save money! And by letting someone else handle the packing, driving, and delivery your small load move in Boston can be practically stress free!

"I used Boston Pack and Ship to move 35 boxes and 5 other items from Quincy, MA to Columbus, OH. Nothing required any real special handling, just the usual stuff, some of which was fragile. The shipment and delivery was seamless. The initial pick up was great, the guys came when they said they would. The delivery date was to be between three and six weeks and it was three weeks on the dot—maybe even a day earlier. The whole process was so efficient and I was kept informed all along the way as to timing of the delivery. First several days before and then again the day before along with a four-hour window of time. Although I haven't had the opportunity to recommend Boston Pack and Ship, I would certainly do so without hesitation!"

I used Boston Pack and Ship to send an antique piece of furniture from Boston to Sedona, AZ. I can't say enough about their service and the quality of the packing. Item arrived on the day they said it would and was in pristine condition. Easy to work with and great customer service. Highly recommend.

I hired Boston Pack and Ship to move two items from my storage unit in the Boston area to my home in Florida. Gene Sullivan was 110% responsive. He picked up the items on time, packed them expertly; and they arrived in perfect condition about ten days after pick up. I could not ask for better service. Five stars is not enough!

We at Casey Movers do not hesitate to refer our customers to this business for shipments we do not think we are best suited for (smaller inter-state shipments under 3,000lbs, etc). Have had great feedback from clients that have utilized this service. Thank you from all at Casey Movers for providing top notch service and have a great new year!
