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!

"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. "
