Money Saving Moving Secrets for Boston Students, Families & Businesses

August 5, 2018 by admin

It’s back to school season, when college students pack up and head for classes. Some are staying here in Boston, while others are going all around the country to pursue their studies. Let’s talk about ways college students can save money on their move.

Student moves are different than household moves because there’s a lot fewer possessions involved, and ultimately, the student will be moving again in a short period of time – either back to their home or on to their next adventure. With that in mind, it’s important to look for a Boston moving company that handles small loads.

A small load move includes roughly everything you can fit in the typical dorm room, including a few pieces of furniture, clothing, and personnel possessions. Some students need to move their bicycle, computer, musical instrument, or sports equipment as well. The reason you want to choose a small load moving company is that all of your things will be moved quickly and efficiently – if you’ve ever been on a college campus on move in day, you know how chaotic and time-consuming the DIY alternative is! – and in good condition.

Let’s talk about price. Everyone has a budget, and if you’re sending a kid to college, you’re probably already spent more money than you ever imagined possible! Generally, moving companies will charge a minimum rate, without considering how much stuff you have to move. It’s kind of ridiculous to have to pay for an entire moving truck when all of your stuff barely fills one corner! Small load moving companies don’t charge this minimum load charge, which means you save money.

Be aware that students aren’t the only one who need to save money on small moves. Sometimes families don’t have a lot of stuff – this is particularly true for people who move often, or seniors who have dramatically downsized. Choosing a small load moving company in these circumstances makes sense. And businesses use small load moving services to do things like bring inventory from a warehouse to a retail location or transferring records into secure storage. Explore the money saving possibilities. Research Boston small load moving companies today!

"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. "
