College Moves: If You’re Leaving Boston

April 28, 2021 by admin

“If I was staying in Boston, there’s no doubt I could have my parents help me move,” Drew said. “I’m sure they’d be thrilled and I don’t have a lot of stuff. However, I’m not staying in Boston, I’m moving to DC, and I need a Boston student moving company that can help me make it happen without spending a ton of money.”

College students like Drew are in luck. Affordable, reliable college moves are available from one of Boston’s most respected moving companies, Boston Pack and Ship. Secure student storage is also available. Here’s what you need to know about planning your student move:

It’s Smart to Downsize

Student moves are designed for college students, who generally don’t have a lot of furniture or personal possessions. To keep costs down, move only the things you have to. Pass along, donate, sell or toss anything you’re not attached to.

Think Long Term

In Drew’s case, the next move is for a fellowship that will only last two years. “That means I don’t need to bring everything with me,” he said. “This is an intense program. I don’t foresee taking a lot of time off to go skiing, for example. Even though I love to ski. So rather than pay to have all my stuff moved there and then moved back, I’m having some of my things put into secure student storage in Boston.”

Let the Professionals Do the Packing

Full service student moving service means your possessions are packed and moved for you. This saves busy students a ton of time, and helps ensure fragile possessions, including expensive electronic items and musical instruments, make it to the new address in good condition. “One of the advantages of working with the Boston student moving company is that they provided everything – the moving boxes, the packing materials, all of that stuff. I appreciated not having to track all that stuff down myself.”

"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!
