Money Saving Tips for Small Moves

November 10, 2019 by admin

If you’re relocating and need to make the most of your budget, help yourself to these money saving tips. These insights come from our 30+ years serving the Boston community with local and long-distance moves.

Don’t Be Afraid to Downsize

Small households can have a lot of stuff. Before you start packing boxes, take the time to determine what you want or need to keep. Everything else doesn’t have to move with you. Donate what you can, trash or recycle what you can’t. Selling unwanted items is a good way to boost your moving budget.

Shipping Household Goods Saves Money

Just because you’re moving doesn’t mean you have to pay for a moving truck. Shipping your household goods can be a cost-effective option, particularly if you’re moving a long distance or internationally. Working with an experienced Boston shipping company means you’ve got the ability to ship all kinds of things, including furniture – yes, even antiques! – artwork, household goods, appliances and more. Your possessions can be delivered directly to your door, at a time that’s convenient to you.

When shipping your household goods, make sure to talk to your Boston shipping company about insurance. There are different ways to protect your items from damage, loss or disaster while they’re in transit from your old address to your new one. Make sure you’re protected!

Choose a Mini Move Company to Avoid Pricey Minimum Load Charges

If you do need a moving truck, you don’t want to pay more than you have to. Choose a Boston moving company that specializes in small moves. When you’re getting your quote, ask about minimum load charges – these are the fees some moving companies tack onto the bill if they decide you don’t have enough stuff to make the move worth their while. If you encounter a minimum load charge, ask if it can be waived – or search for a moving company that never charges minimum load fees!

"I used Boston Pack and Ship to move a dining room hutch from my sister-in-law's house in Wellesley, Massachusetts to my apartment in New York City. The process was really quick and easy. I spoke with Bill Yankee on a Thursday, and I had my piece delivered the following Wednesday. My sister-in-law said the pick up on her side was quick and seamless. I was given a specific two-hour time frame and the movers were on time. They even helped reassemble part of the furniture. Throughout the process Bill was communicative and had great follow up. I didn't need to chase him down, and when I had a question, he was available or responded immediately."

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!
