College Student Moves are Harder When Mom & Dad Can’t Help Because of COVID

September 14, 2020 by admin

“My parents are fantastic,” Mackenzie said. “They’d do anything for me. But Mom has serious health issues and Dad is her caregiver. I can’t ask them to come up here and take that risk just to help me move my stuff.”

The Emerson student was not expecting to move at this time. However, roommate issues happen. “When we were talking about how I should handle this, my Dad asked “Are there any Boston student moving companies?” so finding out that answer was my next step.”

“Once I found the place that had the reputation for being the best moving company for students to deal with, I gave them a call,” Mackenzie explained. “And they made everything so easy. They wanted to know how much stuff I had, and if I needed any moving boxes or help packing. Then it was just setting up the time for them to show up. I literally did not have to do anything except open the door. They took everything out of my old apartment and brought it all to my new place. Which thankfully I have much better roommates to look forward to living with.”

Scheduling Your Boston Student Move

Student moving services are available throughout the year. Obviously the busiest times are at the beginning and end of the semester, but given the current health crisis, students may need to move at any point. We want you to know that we are prepared to provide whatever assistance you may need while providing all services in compliance with COVID protocols.

It is not too soon to schedule your end-of-semester move now. Additionally, if you’ve recently moved to Boston for school and discovered your place is too small for all of your stuff, we have safe, secure student storage units available. Call for details & pricing.

"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 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!
