Moving Out of Boston Before the Snow Starts

November 9, 2015 by admin

Last winter was hard. No one’s arguing that. We shattered every kind of winter related record – the most snow, the most ice, the most freezing cold temperatures, the most cars lost for days at a time under snowbanks, the most temper tantrums about having to shovel again…does any of this sound familiar?

If the answer is yes, you might be feeling like the Framingham woman quoted in this Boston Globe story, who decided to move to North Carolina after having to chip ice off of her roof one too many times. The Farmer’s Almanac is predicting that we’re going to be facing much of the same situation this year – and given the fact that they brag about a more than 95% accuracy rate, that may be enough to prompt you to make a move of your own!

Single people and small households often wind up paying excessively high prices when they move because they simply don’t have as much stuff as larger households do, forcing them to pay for moving truck space they don’t need and can’t use. When you’re looking for a Boston moving company and you’re a single person or have a small household, one of the questions you’ll want to ask is “Do you have a minimum load charge?”

Ideally, for the small Boston move (either in town or a long distance move) you want to work with a moving company that doesn’t charge a minimum load charge. Pay only for the space and services you need and are going to use. Choosing a company that specializes in small moves helps you avoid being treated with less than full respect by moving companies that want the bigger jobs. Choose a Boston Small Move company with experience and an excellent reputation. Then you can get away before the snow even begins to fly!

"I used Boston Pack and Ship to move a dining room hutch from my sister-in-law's house in Wellesley, Massachusetts to my apartment in New York City. The process was really quick and easy. I spoke with Bill Yankee on a Thursday, and I had my piece delivered the following Wednesday. My sister-in-law said the pick up on her side was quick and seamless. I was given a specific two-hour time frame and the movers were on time. They even helped reassemble part of the furniture. Throughout the process Bill was communicative and had great follow up. I didn't need to chase him down, and when I had a question, he was available or responded immediately."

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!
