Attention Parents of Boston College Students: You Don’t Have To Move Their Stuff

February 12, 2016 by admin

“So I’ve got a great opportunity to go to Australia with my best friend,” said Lauren. “She’s working on a documentary, and has invited me to tag along.” Lauren, who has a life long love of animals, wants to jump at the chance. “There’s only one problem. The weekend we’re supposed to leave is the same weekend my daughter needs to be out of her college housing.”

Don’t forgo the things you want to do just because your children have their own to-do list. Part of raising children is trusting that they’ve got the skills and capabilities to handle complicated tasks like college moves on their own. And let’s be real here – if you know that’s not exactly within the realm of realistic possibility for your kid, you can still hire a professional moving company to handle all the hassles for you.

Here’s what you need to know about hiring a Boston student moving company: first, you want a real professional moving company, not just a couple of guys with a truck. That way you’re protected against your kid’s stuff getting lost, broken, or stolen. You want to ask to make sure the company’s fully insured: accidents can and do happen, but when the right insurance is in place, you don’t wind up having to buy all of your kid’s stuff twice.

Second, ask about what services the moving company offers and minimum load charges. You know your kid. If they need someone to actually go in and pack boxes for them, this can be done, generally for a charge. The less your kid needs in terms of packing assistance, the more affordable this is going to be – and that’s good news, because you’re going to want cash to buy some amazing souveniers during your Australia adventure.

"I got a job in France and I had to organize my move there. Boston Pack and Ship took care of shipping my belongings. They picked up everything at my house, packed the furniture so it would not be affected during the travel and shipped it to Marseille, France. From the very beginning, Boston Pack and Ship addressed my concerns and answered my questions. They even gave me the information of the company they work with in Marseille so I could contact them directly, have an estimate on how much it will cost once in Marseille and how to proceed for custom/pick up. Boston Pack and Ship was always available to me, even once the shipment was on the boat and everything arrived in perfect shape! "

I used Boston Pack and Ship to pick up, pack, and ship an Italian lounge chair from Boston to San Francisco. Excellent communication all along the way. They did an outstanding job packing the chair, it arrived in perfect condition. Couldn't be happier with the support from Gene and the team.

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!
