Long Distance Move Planning Tips: If You’re Leaving Boston

March 22, 2019 by admin

If your plans involve moving far away from Boston, you’ll want to know these helpful tips. They’ll help you save time and money, while making your move much less stressful.

Long Distance Moving Tip #1: Start Planning Early

Long distance moves involve a lot of logistics. The earlier you begin the process of coordinating the move of your self, your family, your pets, your vehicles, and all of your possessions, the easier the entire process becomes.

Long Distance Moving Tip #2: Use Technology To Help You Move

There are numerous moving apps that help households keep track of their possessions, timeline, budget and more. Some examples are Sortly, Unpackt, MakeSpace and Dolly. Find the app that works best for your needs and use it – many of our clients report that app notifications that kept them apprised of important deadlines helped them keep their move on schedule.

Long Distance Moving Tip #3: Choose a Reliable, Professional Long Distance Moving Company

Everyone wants to save money, but choosing the low-bid moving company can be a disaster. A quick Google search for moving company horror stories will reveal to you all of the things that can go wrong when an unscrupulous moving company gets everything you own in their grasp. Take the time to research your long distance moving company options. Choose a company that’s been in business for a long time, that has a reputation for superior service, who can provide references from satisfied customers.

Long Distance Moving Tip #4: Check and Double Check Your Move-In Arrangements

Before you embark on your long distance move, you want to be absolutely sure of your new address, your ability to move into it, and the availability of parking for the moving truck. The best Boston long distance moving company can help you coordinate all of these details and save you a lot of work and stress.

"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 pick up, pack, and ship an Italian lounge chair from Boston to San Francisco. Excellent communication all along the way. They did an outstanding job packing the chair, it arrived in perfect condition. Couldn't be happier with the support from Gene and the team.

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!
