Moving to Boston, MA

March 24, 2017 by admin

“You get tired of the commute,” Elise said. “Every day, five days a week, I’m driving an hour and fifteen minutes to work, and an hour and fifteen minutes home. That’s when the weather’s excellent. A little bit of snow, or even real heavy rain, and the trip gets fifteen, twenty minutes longer – and in bad weather? It’s taken me three hours to get home.” She shrugged her shoulders. “You hate to take anything for granted, but my job is pretty securely rooted where it is. They’re not planning to move the headquarters any time soon. That’s why I’m moving to Boston, MA.”

Long commutes are often cited as a top reason people choose to move to Boston. The city’s own unique charm is another top reason moving to Boston, MA is on many people’s bucket list – whether they’re planning on settling down in the North End or South End isn’t always specified! Being close to Fenway Park is many baseball-loving retiree’s life plan: what better way to spend your golden years than making it to every single home game?

If you’re moving to Boston, MA, you really want to work with a moving company that knows the city. Some cities are designed with a beautiful logic built into their streets: New York City, for example, is laid out on a grid pattern. Boston streets are not laid out on a grid pattern. Navigating around Boston, especially with a full-size loaded moving truck, is not for the faint of heart. Before you commit to attempting this feat yourself with a rented truck, ask yourself how confident you are about making sharp turns on narrow streets and how you’ll handle discovering the street the GPS has directed you to is actually a one-way street – and it’s not going the way you need it to! If that sounds like something you’re really not into, give Boston Pack and Ship a call. They’ve been helping families move to Boston, MA since 1988!

"I got a job in France and I had to organize my move there. Boston Pack and Ship took care of shipping my belongings. They picked up everything at my house, packed the furniture so it would not be affected during the travel and shipped it to Marseille, France. From the very beginning, Boston Pack and Ship addressed my concerns and answered my questions. They even gave me the information of the company they work with in Marseille so I could contact them directly, have an estimate on how much it will cost once in Marseille and how to proceed for custom/pick up. Boston Pack and Ship was always available to me, even once the shipment was on the boat and everything arrived in perfect shape! "

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!
