Are You Paying Too Much To Move Your Stuff?

June 10, 2013 by admin

"Man, I never knew how expensive moving was!" Randi laughed. "I guess being a military brat just sort of blinds you to the fact that civilians have to pay to send their furniture halfway around the world." Now that she's on her own, Randi has retained the military-inspired tendency to travel light. "It's just me, and I only have what I consider to be the essential stuff: a bed, a dresser, a … [Read more...]

Planning a Long Distance Move? Three Helpful Tips

September 17, 2012 by admin

Be Smart About Packing for Your Long Distance Move The number one reason items get damaged during long distance moves is that they weren't packed properly.  If you're just moving across town, you might luck out and have a box of wine glasses loosely stuffed with newspaper survive the journey - but when you're going coast-to-coast, that's not going to happen. Moving hundreds or even thousands of … [Read more...]

"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!
