Student Moves from Boston

April 22, 2016 by admin

College acceptance letters are starting to arrive, causing kids’ hearts to leap for joy and parents’ minds to immediately shift into overdrive. Paying for college is one big issue, but another concern is the logistics of getting your student to the university. This is true whether your child is going to school here in Boston or if they’re going someone further away. Here’s what you need to know about arranging a student move from Boston:

1) You Want a Boston Moving Company That Specializes in Small Moves: Most students don’t own all that much stuff, but it seems like they do when you try to pack it all in your car! Clothing, sports gear, computer equipment, musical instruments and the like can take up what appears to be a tremendous amount of space – but when it’s in the back of a professional moving truck, it turns out to be a relatively small load. Some companies will charge you *extra* for not having ‘enough’ stuff to move – that’s called a minimum load charge. That’s a ridiculous rip off – choose a Boston Moving Company that specializes in small moves to avoid paying this fee!

2) Work With Your Student To Make Sure Everything Gets Packed: New college students have a tendency to under-estimate what they’re going to need for a semester away from home. Work with them to make sure they have packed everything they need, including clothing appropriate for all types of weather, bedding, their electronics and more. If you’re not sure how to pack a particular item so it will survive the student move from Boston safely, give your Boston student moving company a call. They’re sure to have advice that will make the job easier – and if you need strong moving boxes, they’re your best resource!

3) Get Your Student on the Schedule Early: Classes start at the same time for everyone, and you can’t get into the dorms until they open. That means there’s a rush of people all trying to be in the same place at the same time. Make sure your student has all the moving support they need by booking with your Boston student moving company early.

"I used Boston Pack & Ship to send an antique drop-leaf table that had been my mother's and four Windsor chairs that my father had made, an antique blanket chest and two large framed (with glass) photographs. I had no special instructions, but all the items had huge sentimental value - they were all special to me and were now being sent to our oldest son who had just bought his first home. So it was important that they arrive safely. Both Bill and Joe were very friendly, up front with the fees and service provided and the process went just as they described. I might not have thought any more about it, but when the furniture arrived, our son made a point of calling and saying how nice the movers had been and said that I should feel comfortable recommending them to anybody in need of their services."
