Boston Bride’s Guide: The Long Distance Move

June 12, 2012 by admin

“I can’t believe this is all finally happening!” Lynne’s wedding is in five days, and the bride-to-be is very excited. “Matthew and I will be getting married in front of all of our family and friends – and then we are moving all the way across the country ten days later.” Career opportunities are luring the couple to Seattle, WA.  “It’s going to be quite a change, but we’re ready for it!” Lynne said.

What Lynne wasn’t ready for was navigating the logistics of a cross-country move while planning her wedding. “These are both big, big jobs! And there’s only one me.” She laughed. “And planning the wedding is a lot more interesting than trying to figure out where I’m going to get boxes for all of Matthew’s musical equipment. That’s why I chose a Boston moving company that specializes in long-distance moves.”

There are two types of long distance moves. Intrastate moves take place within a single state: if you were moving from Cape Cod to Springfield, that’s a intrastate long distance move. Moving from Massachusetts to Washington is an interstate long distance move.

It is important to work with a well-established, reputable Boston long distance moving company. There are many fly-by-night companies out there that take advantage of people who are moving, packing all of their possessions into a big truck and then holding them hostage until the people pay outrageous fees many times higher than the originally agreed upon price.  Don’t wind up in that position! Choose a Boston long distance moving company that is professional and proud of their excellent reputation.

Your Boston Long Distance moving company provides a range of options for the long distance move. If you’re planning a long distance move, come in and talk to us. We’ll ask you a few questions about your household size, the type and amount of furniture, possessions, and other gear you’re planning to move, and your timeline. It’s the first step in getting you to your new happy home!

"In August, my 83-year-old father fell down the cellar stairs and broke his elbow. Following elbow replacement surgery in Boston he was transferred to skilled nursing care in West Bridgewater. Unfortunately, the injury left him unable to maintain his own household. My husband and I made the decision to move him to our home in California. My time frame was incredibly short - 11 days till departure via airplane to CA. I needed to pack and ship whatever items would be going to CA. We would not be moving the entire household - just several paintings, memorabilia, clothing and a large full keyboard electronic piano. After calling several moving companies that required large weight minimums to bid the job, I was referred to Joe Fell at Boston Pack and Ship.

Joe was absolutely wonderful. He calmly explained the shipping options available through Boston Pack and Ship and they could definitely handle the job. Joe helped me locate appropriately sized shipping boxes so that I could pack things up myself, thereby saving money. He also stayed in constant contact with me via phone and email, coaching me through the shipping process. We scheduled pickup nine days after my arrival in MA. Joe became an instant friend to me throughout this extremely stressful time. His caring nature made this difficult move a great deal easier. I am very grateful to have found this wonderful company. "

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!
