Student Moving Checklist: 3 Things to Do NOW

June 14, 2021 by admin

Student movers Boston

If you’re sending your college student off to the dorms for the very first time, or you’re 6 years into your bachelors and feel like you’ve seen it all before, be aware that the 2021 fall student housing situation is shaping up to be more complex than ever before. While universities are doing their best to get everything situated properly before the semester gets started, there’s a little catching up to do due to the complexity of changing COVID protocols.

That’s why it’s a good idea to take care of as much of your own personal student moving arrangements ahead of time as possible. There’s always some degree of chaos during college moving season in Boston. Keep yourself calm by handling these three student moving checklist steps now:

Student Move To-Do #1: Confirm Move In Dates

Even if your school can not tell you with certainty where you’re moving, at this point, when you’re moving is pretty much set in stone. Your college calendar is the most likely source of designated move in dates. Some schools reserve specific move in days for freshmen. Make sure you know when you’re going to be allowed to move to your school.

Student Move To-Do #2: Schedule Your Boston Student Move

Call the best Boston student moving company with your move-in date information. They’ll ask you a few questions, go over the budget with you, and get the move on the schedule. For the best availability, you want to schedule your student move as far in advance as possible.

Student Move To-Do #3: Start Gathering Boxes & Packing Supplies

While it’s probably too soon to start moving all your things this week (especially if high school graduation still has to happen!) it’s time to start gathering up the cardboard moving boxes and packing supplies you’ll need to move your stuff. You’ll need enough for all of the clothing and gear you’re bring to school with you.

"I just wanted you to know that working with Boston Pack and Ship was great! You not only made everything easy for me, but you kept me advised of any changes in the schedule. You even provided me with the cell phone numbers of your driver in case I had any questions! From the beginning I felt like you cared about my delivery as much as I did!!! Your customer service is outstanding. I wish more companies put their hearts into their service like Boston Pack and Ship does! With confidence, I would reccommend Boston Pack and Ship for everyone's moving needs, big or small."

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!
