Small Households Save Big By Choosing the Right Moving Company

June 29, 2023 by admin

“When we were still in the military, moving was part of everyday life,” Frankie said. “Every time my husband was transferred, we just packed our stuff up and family services brought it to our next posting. Sometimes it took a little while for our things to arrive, but everything got their eventually.”

“After we retired, we learned what a nightmare household moving can be. The last time we moved, our three youngest were still at home. We had a lot of stuff, and the move was incredibly expensive. Flash forward to today, where it’s just my husband and I, moving into a community just outside of Boston. We’re very interested in doing this without spending a lot of money.”

Small Move Companies in Eastern Massachusetts: How They Save Households Money

The best moving companies in Massachusetts offer small households an opportunity to save money when they change addresses. This is by using a small move company in Eastern MA. A small move is defined as any move involving significantly less than a truck’s worth of furniture and household possessions.

“We’ve lived out of a Sea bag before,” Frankie laughed. “And I think we were happier then.” The couple’s small move included a bedframe and mattress, two armchairs, and personal possessions. “Could we have packed everything into a rental truck and moved it all ourselves,” Frankie said. “Probably. But I’m not interested in having my husband hurt his back moving furniture. We’ll pay the professionals to come in, get all of the stuff out of the house and into the truck, and then unload that truck and set up our furniture in the new place.”

Compared to the cost of a full household move, a small load move is very affordable. “For older couples or anyone who just doesn’t have that much stuff, it’s a smart way to save money.” Frankie concluded. “Strongly recommend.”

"In August, my 83-year-old father fell down the cellar stairs and broke his elbow. Following elbow replacement surgery in Boston he was transferred to skilled nursing care in West Bridgewater. Unfortunately, the injury left him unable to maintain his own household. My husband and I made the decision to move him to our home in California. My time frame was incredibly short - 11 days till departure via airplane to CA. I needed to pack and ship whatever items would be going to CA. We would not be moving the entire household - just several paintings, memorabilia, clothing and a large full keyboard electronic piano. After calling several moving companies that required large weight minimums to bid the job, I was referred to Joe Fell at Boston Pack and Ship.

Joe was absolutely wonderful. He calmly explained the shipping options available through Boston Pack and Ship and they could definitely handle the job. Joe helped me locate appropriately sized shipping boxes so that I could pack things up myself, thereby saving money. He also stayed in constant contact with me via phone and email, coaching me through the shipping process. We scheduled pickup nine days after my arrival in MA. Joe became an instant friend to me throughout this extremely stressful time. His caring nature made this difficult move a great deal easier. I am very grateful to have found this wonderful company. "

I used Boston Pack and Ship to pick up, pack, and ship an Italian lounge chair from Boston to San Francisco. Excellent communication all along the way. They did an outstanding job packing the chair, it arrived in perfect condition. Couldn't be happier with the support from Gene and the team.

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!
