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!”

"I'm in the military and I took an assignment in Texas to be closer to family in a town outside of Houston. That meant getting about 17 boxes of stuff—ranging from household goods to clothing—from my home in Marston Mills, Massachusetts to Missouri City, Texas. Working with Boston Pack and Ship was a pleasure. They were very helpful and answered all my questions. On the day of pickup, they were in and out within 15 minutes. I had regular updates from Bill Yankee and his staff. In fact, my stuff arrived a day early! Overall, it was a wonderful experience and I didn't have to worry about a thing."

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!
