Time’s Running Out: Book Your Boston Student Movers Now

August 26, 2023 by admin

Summer goes by very fast. The semester will be starting before you know it. Now is the time to finalize your back to school move preparation. Here are some helpful tips from Boston’s top student moving company:

Step #1: Learn from Last Year

The clothes you never wore, the gear you never used, and the stuff that you never even bothered unpacking last time probably doesn’t need to come to school with you. Save yourself time, space, heavy lifting and stress by being realistic about what you will and won’t need over the next three months. Common items it’s actually okay to leave behind: your printer (they have a few on campus), most kitchen appliances (dorm regulations say no), and your out of season clothing. You won’t need a lot of sundresses in Boston in November.

Step #2: Vacuum Storage Bags

A cheap and easy way to reduce the volume (but not the weight!) of the soft items you’re bringing to school, vacuum storage bags make college move in day easier. Remember to bring the pump with you, so you’ll be able to repack everything into vacuum storage bags when it’s time to come home.

Step #3: Schedule the College Movers

College movers are the Boston student life hack everyone needs to know about. Do you really want to watch your Dad with his bad back trying to carry a tote full of books and supplies all the way from where you were able to find a parking space to your new digs? No, you don’t. For a few bucks, the college movers pick up your stuff, bring it directly to your new place, and you’re good to go. Don’t wait until the very last minute to schedule, as this popular service books quickly. Secure student storage is also available, if you have more stuff than space.

"We could not believe how well packed our Windsor chair and Sheraton bench were packed as they had to travel from Cape Cod, Ma to a suburb of San Francisco in Ca. They arrived in perfect condition and what would you expect? Each piece was packed in their own box, wrapped completely, and anchored so they could not move inside their respective boxes. Then, Boston Ship and Pack secured the boxes on a wooden pallet. The Dish Pack with family heirlooms was packed as carefully by the company's professional packers. All our treasures arrived safely. This is not the first time we have used Boston Pack and Ship and it won't be the last. Thanks Bill and your team for making our move worry-free. You spent a lot of time with us planning all the details of our sudden move. We can never thank you enough."

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!
