Cambridge Students: 3 Ways to Make Your End of Semester Move Easier

February 26, 2021 by admin

Are you already dreading moving out of your dorm room or student housing at the end of the semester? You might be – especially if you remember how much work and heavy lifting was involved in getting all of your things moved in the first place.

We turned to the Cambridge student moving company for tips and strategies you can use to make your upcoming move easier, less stressful, and more affordable. Here’s what they had to say:

Schedule Your Student Move Early

The price for moving services is determined by several factors. One important factor is when the move occurs. If you can know your end of semester schedule in advance, try to schedule your student move during a convenient mid-week window. Early scheduling also ensures the movers will be available when you need them to be. Availability is sometimes limited and you don’t want to be closed out. Schedule your move as soon as you can.

Choose a Student Moving Company That Doesn’t Impose a Minimum Load Charge

Here’s a secret not many people know: there are moving companies that charge you extra money if you don’t have a lot of stuff to move. This is known as the minimum load charge, and it’s very, very unfair to students. Students typically only have a minimal amount of things to move, including a few pieces of furniture and their personal possessions. It’s not fair to have to pay a penalty for this! That’s why it’s important to choose a Cambridge student moving company that doesn’t charge a minimum load charge.

Understand Your Storage Options

What happens if you’re going somewhere else for the summer but returning to Cambridge in the fall? Does it really make sense to move all of your things all the way to your summer time address and then all the way back to Cambridge again? Safe, secure storage can be a smart viable alternative.

"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!"
