Leaving the Empty Nest Behind: Seniors & Small Moves

December 19, 2018 by admin

“Personally, I find the whole idea liberating,” Marilyn said. The 78-year old Charlestown resident has recently decided to sell her home and move to a smaller place. “My children are grandparents now. They’re having the big gatherings at their place. I can visit them – and enjoy not having to worry about the expense of keeping this big house up.”

Marilyn downsized extensively before her move. “In a lifetime, you accumulate a lot of stuff. But it’s not all stuff you want, and it’s not all stuff you need. When I pared things down to only what I wanted and needed to keep, there really wasn’t so much.”

Many seniors find themselves in the same situation as Marilyn – planning a small move. If all of your things can fit comfortably in a studio apartment, you have what’s known in the industry as a small move. You won’t need a large moving truck, but you do have a few pieces of furniture and your personal possessions to move.

To save money on your small move, you’ll want to choose a moving company that doesn’t charge a minimum load fee. A minimum load fee is basically a charge moving company imposes on people who don’t use all of the space within a moving truck. We don’t think that’s right, which is why Boston Pack and Ship doesn’t charge a minimum load fee.  There’s a reason we’re the favorite moving company of seniors, students, and single people on the go – anyone who has only a few things to move doesn’t want to pay extra fees & charges just to relocate!

Boston Pack and Ship: For Local & Long Distance Small Moves

Marilyn is moving to a smaller place in the Boston area. “I don’t want to get too far away from my family,” she said, “but who knows? I may eventually decide I’ve had enough of winter. Then I’ll move someplace warm.”

"I used Boston Pack & Ship to send an antique drop-leaf table that had been my mother's and four Windsor chairs that my father had made, an antique blanket chest and two large framed (with glass) photographs. I had no special instructions, but all the items had huge sentimental value - they were all special to me and were now being sent to our oldest son who had just bought his first home. So it was important that they arrive safely. Both Bill and Joe were very friendly, up front with the fees and service provided and the process went just as they described. I might not have thought any more about it, but when the furniture arrived, our son made a point of calling and saying how nice the movers had been and said that I should feel comfortable recommending them to anybody in need of their services."
