Moving During Coronavirus: What You Need to Know

January 14, 2022 by admin

While the COVID-19 pandemic continues to pose challenges, people still need to move. Relocating the household is always a challenging endeavor, so what’s different now? We talked to one of the top pack and ship moving companies near Boston, and here’s what you need to know:

Book Your Move As Early As Possible

Labor shortages and supply chain issues are hitting every industry. That includes moving companies, freight carriers, and other delivery services that depend on drivers. Booking movers at the last minute is always a hit-or-miss endeavor, but that’s especially true now. Book your move as early as you can to ensure availability and favorable pricing.

Don’t Be Afraid to Ask Questions

When booking your move, don’t be afraid to ask questions including will the movers be wearing masks and what type of safety protocols are in place to help keep my family and I safe during this move? Employers cannot disclose any of their employee’s personal health information but any reputable moving company will do what they can to provide you with peace of mind. This includes what personal protective equipment their employees will wear on site. Contactless pack and ship moving services are available- call for your local moving company for details.

Downsize to Keep Moving Costs Down

Prices are rising across the board for many household and consumer goods. That being said, the same is also true for shipping costs. It’s always a good idea to downsize before a move -there’s no sense relocating items you no longer want or need. Now, especially for long distance moves or moves in which you’re having your possessions shipped cross-country, it’s really smart to downsize aggressively. Does it make sense to pay top dollar to ship a box full of plastic food storage containers? Even trimming one or two boxes from your overall shipment can help you save money.

"My mother was living in a retirement community in Massachusetts. After she passed, there were three groups of items that needed to go to three different locations. One of those groups contained a large china cabinet. This had much sentimental value for me but it needed refinishing before having it shipped to my home in Virginia. I was referred to Boston Pack and Ship. They advised me to ship it directly to a refinisher to save me from having to move the cabinet one more time. Boston Pack and Ship stored the china cabinet while I searched for a refinisher near my home. Long story short, I found a refinisher here in Virginia and Boston Pack and Ship prepared the china cabinet for delivery. It arrived safe and sound to the refinisher on schedule who said it was ‘beautifully wrapped and protected’. I can’t thank Bill and Boston Pack and Ship enough for their help in getting my china cabinet to me safely. Most importantly, they were caring and patient at a difficult time in my life."
