Moving Into Senior Housing Independently: Learn About Small Load Packing and Shipping Services

November 21, 2022 by admin

“I know there are people who have helpful adult children, who are happy to show up and do things like help Mom move,” Brenda said. “But I am not one of those people. It’s time for me to give up the house and all of the maintenance that involves for a smaller, less stressful residence. The challenging bit is getting the few pieces of furniture I’m bringing with me – the bedroom set, the love seat and chair – from here to there. How am I going to make this happen?”

Small Load Packing and Shipping Services are for seniors, or anyone else, who have a small amount of furniture and household items (think what would fit in the typical studio apartment) that need to be quickly and efficiently transported from one address to another.

“Imagine my delight when I found out I could have everything done for me,” Brenda said. “My clothes, my dishes, all of my things – wrapped up and packed in boxes. It all went away in the truck and by the time I got to the new apartment, they already had the furniture set up. The local Boston moving company really surprised me with how thoughtful they were about everything.”

“It’s important for me to be able to function independently,” Brenda said. “You don’t want to be in a position where you’re waiting for someone to be available to do you a favor. The Boston moving company worked with my schedule and my preferences. For example, I am an early morning person – I have to nap in the afternoon due to my medications – and they were right there very first thing to get the job done.”

For seniors and others who need to move a small household a long distance, packing and shipping services can be the most cost-effective way to go. Freight and crate shipping services are available. Discover what your options are before you start making plans: this will help you make the most of your budget!

"I needed to bring a few pieces of furniture from my parents' home in Connecticut to my home in Watertown and move a few additional pieces to Bethesda, Maryland. This was not a large project, but complicated to arrange. I had to go to southern Connecticut in order to meet the moving truck, which involved coordinating my schedule with their availability and then arrange for the drop-off at each end of the move. In spite of my schedule constraints on my part, waffling (on my part) and the overall complexity of the task at hand, Joe Fell [of Boston Pack and Ship] was invariably helpful, responsive and patient. In the end, the move went smoothly and I very much appreciated their efforts."

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!
