Shipping Household Goods Can Be Cheaper Than Moving

March 15, 2019 by admin

Moving can be very expensive, particularly if you’re going a long distance. There are some instances when shipping some or all of your household goods can be the most cost-effective way to relocate your household. Here’s what you need to know:

What are Household Goods?

Household goods include furniture, appliances, clothing, books, and furnishings – a category that includes things like dishes, household linens, and home electronics. Basically, household goods are anything that you or your family might own that wouldn’t be considered either real estate or a vehicle.

Shipping or Moving: How to Decide What To Do With Your Household Goods

The decision to ship or move items often comes down to one’s budget and timeline. For this reason, you’ll want to know how much it costs to ship household goods, how much it costs to move everything, and how much it will cost to ship some items and move the rest. Your Boston shipping company can help you determine these numbers, including your options for long distance and international moves.

The other factor to consider besides costs is how you’ll be able to receive your household items at your new address. While most of us can handle average size shipping boxes full of household goods with minimal difficulty, the same might not be true for larger pieces of furniture or appliances. In those instances, working with a moving company is the better option.

Insuring Household Goods: Ask About Your Options

When you have your household goods moved by a moving company, they’re covered to a certain value by the company. It’s also recommended to purchase additional moving insurance to protect your interests in the event of an accident, loss, or damage. When you ship your household goods, there’s also insurance protection available. Talk to your Boston shipping company about what your insurance options are.

Your customer service is outstanding. I wish more companies put their hearts into their service like Boston Pack and Ship does!
