Small Move + Long Distance = No Problem!

August 18, 2018 by admin

“When I first started calling moving companies and telling them I had to move my studio apartment, they all said “No problem””, Gina explained. “Until I said I needed to move from Boston to Chicago. Then suddenly, it was a problem. There are many moving companies who aren’t interested in moving a small move a long distance – or if they are, they want to charge a million dollars!”

This frustrating situation has a solution. You can have an affordable small move, even if you’re going a long distance. The trick is to find a moving company that specializes in small moves. Boston Pack and Ship has been providing small moves for over 30 years. We do a good amount of business here in Boston and Western Massachusetts, but a significant number of our small moves go a long distance – including moves to Florida, Texas, and even California!

Here’s what you need to know when choosing a moving company for your long distance small move:

Reputation really is everything. There’s a lot of trust involved when you’re choosing a moving company – after all, they have all of your stuff in their truck. Do your research. You want to choose a small load moving company that’s been in business for a while, that has a reputation for excellence, and that has good reviews. If you can’t find any information about a moving company, they may not be the right people to move all of your things.

Ask about minimum load charges. The reason many moving quotes are so high is that a minimum load charge is involved. This means you pay for moving truck space you don’t need and can’t use. Save money on your long distance small move by choosing a moving company that doesn’t charge a minimum load charge. Scheduling your small move for mid-month and mid-week can also save you money!

"I used Boston Pack and Ship to move 35 boxes and 5 other items from Quincy, MA to Columbus, OH. Nothing required any real special handling, just the usual stuff, some of which was fragile. The shipment and delivery was seamless. The initial pick up was great, the guys came when they said they would. The delivery date was to be between three and six weeks and it was three weeks on the dot—maybe even a day earlier. The whole process was so efficient and I was kept informed all along the way as to timing of the delivery. First several days before and then again the day before along with a four-hour window of time. Although I haven't had the opportunity to recommend Boston Pack and Ship, I would certainly do so without hesitation!"
