Shorter Commute = Better Quality of Life: The Case for Moving To Boston, MA

April 28, 2017 by admin

“I’m not sure anyone really needs a reason to move to Boston,” Terry said. “This city has a place of just grabbing onto your heart and not letting go. I think it’s the people who live here as much as anything. It doesn’t matter what happens – massive snowstorm, crazy traffic – they just roll with it. Nothing stops them!”

Many of the people who choose to Boston live in Massachusetts or other nearby states, including New Hampshire, Vermont, New York, Connecticut, and Rhode Island. One of the top reasons cited for a move to Boston is to reduce the daily commute people are making to work. “I like my car – I love my car, actually,” Terry said. “But I don’t want to spend a couple of hours in it every day.”

When you’re moving to Boston, you want to choose a moving company that’s familiar with Boston’s unique geography. Some cities are laid out on a grid pattern, where even people who have never been to the city before can logically work out how to get to their destination without much difficulty. Boston is not one of these cities. The roads in Boston evolved from colonial-era pathways into a tangled warren of narrow, confusing streets – some of which are one way and many of which are challenging to navigate with a large moving truck. If your move to Boston is a DIY adventure, make sure you take advantage of every insurance coverage option available to you when renting a moving truck – one little fender bender can turn out to be extremely expensive otherwise.

One way to save yourself a lot of stress and worry during your move to Boston is to hire a professional moving company to do the driving for you. It’s an easy way to start your life off in Boston with a smile on your face!

"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!
