Boston: Planning Your Small Move

March 18, 2011 by admin

Some people are fabulous movers. They have the entire endeavor down to a process, and know how to reduce their entire life into a cluster of small boxes, handy bags, and seamlessly move from city to city without a trace of stress. Other people might have a little more difficulty.

What separates the two groups? For a long time, I thought it was experience levels – obviously people who grew up with a military family, for example, became adept at moving. People who have to relocate often for their jobs develop a skill set that those of us who are more sedentary just don’t have.

Then I assisted one of these seemingly effortless movers and I learned their secret. Great movers don’t have inside knowledge about the best way to pack china dishes or ship antique furniture. They get professional help!

Boston Small Move Company

The first thing you need to know about planning a small move is that not all moving companies are the same.  Some moving companies have a minimum load size.  That’s no problem if you’re a seven member family with a house full of furniture, but if you’re a small family or single person with just a few possessions, you’re out of luck.  Either you wind up paying top dollar for truck space you don’t need or you’re stuck moving your possessions yourself – unless you find a Boston moving company that specializes in small moves.

Student moves, transporting your possessions to and from university, are an example of a small move. Other small moves include professionals who are relocating and even retail establishments that are moving to a new address.  During a small move, you might  move furniture, personal possessions, technology such as televisions or computers, artwork and antiques.  Each of these items requires its own customized packing solution.  Working with a professional packing and shipping company for your small move allows you to access the expertise, skills, and materials you need to ensure your possessions are packaged properly, transported safely, and delivered to your next destination on time.

"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. "
