Starting a New Life on Your Own? Here’s How to Make the Move Simple

March 18, 2022 by admin

“You go into marriage thinking it’s going to be forever,” Ken said. “But things don’t always work out that way.” After discovering he was about to be divorced, Ken needed to move rapidly out of his Boston home. “I didn’t have a lot of stuff, but I also don’t have a car,” he said. “To make this move happen, I decided what I needed was a small load moving company.”

What is a Small Load Moving Company?

Designed specifically to meet the needs of single person households, small load moving companies specialize in safely transporting the possessions and goods individuals have from one address to another. A small household, in these instances, are typically in possession of what it would take to furnish a small studio apartment -a few pieces of furniture, some clothing and electronics, and that’s about it.

What is the advantage of working with a small load moving company?

The primary advantage of working with a small load moving company is financial. Many moving companies have a minimum load charge that applies no matter how much – or how little – you have to move. This means you wind up paying for moving truck space you don’t need and can’t use. Small load moving companies don’t charge the minimum load size fee, and as such are the more sensible operation for small households.

Finding the Best Boston Small Load Moving Company

Because there are so many colleges and universities in Boston, there are many companies offering small load moving services as well as secure storage. When choosing which Boston small load moving company is right for you, you’ll want to check for a reputation of professionalism, a long history of serving the community well, and competitive pricing. Small load moving services are available for neighborhood moves, as well as local, long distance, and international moves.

"We called Boston Pack and Ship looking for someone who would ship four pieces of furniture, 12 picture boxes and two book boxes from Scituate, Massachusetts to Bellingham, Washington. The furniture included a sideboard, a dresser, a drop leaf table and a secretary desk. We knew that we didn't have enough for the usual moving company but these were things that our daughter wanted to have as they had belonged to her grandmother. Bill Yankee was most helpful. He arranged to have the items picked up and then they were then carefully packed before being shipped. Throughout, we were kept advised of the progress of the shipment and its arrival time. We felt that they took exceptional care with our belongings and were most conscientious - as well as courteous and helpful."

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!
