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.

"My mother was living in a retirement community in Massachusetts. After she passed, there were three groups of items that needed to go to three different locations. One of those groups contained a large china cabinet. This had much sentimental value for me but it needed refinishing before having it shipped to my home in Virginia. I was referred to Boston Pack and Ship. They advised me to ship it directly to a refinisher to save me from having to move the cabinet one more time. Boston Pack and Ship stored the china cabinet while I searched for a refinisher near my home. Long story short, I found a refinisher here in Virginia and Boston Pack and Ship prepared the china cabinet for delivery. It arrived safe and sound to the refinisher on schedule who said it was ‘beautifully wrapped and protected’. I can’t thank Bill and Boston Pack and Ship enough for their help in getting my china cabinet to me safely. Most importantly, they were caring and patient at a difficult time in my life."

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!
