Moving a Small Household a Long Distance? 3 Money Saving Tips You Need to Know

September 9, 2018 by admin

If you live on your own, or your family doesn’t have a lot of stuff, your household move may be what’s considered a small move. As a general rule of thumb, if everything you own fits reasonably into a studio apartment, it’s a small move – assuming, of course, that you’re not keeping a collection of anvils or other extremely heavy items in your place.

Small Move + Long Distance = No Problem!

August 18, 2018 by admin

"When I first started calling moving companies and telling them I had to move my studio apartment, they all said "No problem"", Gina explained. "Until I said I needed to move from Boston to Chicago.

"I needed to bring a few pieces of furniture from my parents' home in Connecticut to my home in Watertown and move a few additional pieces to Bethesda, Maryland. This was not a large project, but complicated to arrange. I had to go to southern Connecticut in order to meet the moving truck, which involved coordinating my schedule with their availability and then arrange for the drop-off at each end of the move. In spite of my schedule constraints on my part, waffling (on my part) and the overall complexity of the task at hand, Joe Fell [of Boston Pack and Ship] was invariably helpful, responsive and patient. In the end, the move went smoothly and I very much appreciated their efforts."

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!
