Really Going Home For the Holidays: Boston Student Moves

December 8, 2015 by admin

“If my Dad says “Well, you gave it the old college try” one more time, I’m going to explode,” Val said. She’d come to Boston this fall to attend graduate classes, but quickly discovered her program wasn’t exactly right for her. “I don’t really want to get into too much detail here, but when you know something’s not going to work, there’s no point in trying to force it,” she said. “I stuck it out for one semester, but now it’s time to pack up my stuff and head for greener pastures.”

Transferring to a different grad school took a great deal of time and energy. “I just didn’t have anything left to devote to moving,” Val said. “So I looked for a Boston student moving company, and told them what I needed.” Val had been sharing an apartment with two other grad students. “I didn’t have a whole lot of stuff – the couch, table, all that kind of stuff, belongs to my room mates. So all I needed was someone to come in, pack up my things and get them on the truck.”

“You hear all these horror stories about moving companies holding your stuff hostage,” Val said. “That’s why you’ve got to do a little research ahead of time. Don’t just grab any old flyer in the student union. Find an actual moving company that specializes in student moves. Work with someone who does this as a business – they’re not looking to get rich with phony fees or by flat out stealing your stuff.”

Even though grad school didn’t work out the way she’d hoped, Val doesn’t regret the time she spent in Boston. “This is a great town, with lots of fantastic people. I’m sure I’ll be back – maybe even to stay, next time!”

"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. "
