3 Things You Should Know When Choosing A Boston Mover

January 8, 2016 by admin

Most people never, ever think about moving companies until they have to move their home or business. Whether you’re moving across town, across the country, or even internationally, choosing the right moving company is vital. Here’s five things you should know when choosing a Boston mover:

1. Picking the right moving company is so important! Your moving company has charge of practically all of your stuff as you transition from your current location to your next destination. You want to make sure you’re working with someone who is professional and reliable – not some sketchy crew who decides they’d rather keep your stuff or sell it to the highest bidder.

2. Experience really, really matters! Moving is complicated. There are certain best practices that must be followed to ensure your furniture, electronics and other possessions make it safely to your new home. If you’re moving a business that includes office or manufacturing equipment, things get even more complex! Choose an experienced Boston moving company that has been successfully completing moves of all types for many years. That way you can trust you’ll have a positive, stress-free moving experience.

3. Small move specialists save singles & small households money. Some families have tons of stuff to move. Other families, not so much. If you’re a single person, have a small household, or are otherwise possessed of minimal materials requiring moving, make sure you ask your Boston mover about minimum load charges. Why pay for truck space you don’t need and can’t use? Choose a small move/student move specialist to escape from unfair minimum load charges and save serious money!

"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 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!
