Tips for Making Your Small Move Stress Free

April 27, 2020 by admin

Did you know that stress experts rank moving as one of life’s most challenging events? Of course, they did that research before we got started with this whole global pandemic thing, but we’re still pretty sure moving can make you feel tense and overwhelmed.

Here’s some tips to help you cut the stress level when planning your small move.

First: choose your Boston moving company early & book your moving dates. Let’s be real. The world’s in flux right now, and while lots of people are staying home, lots and lots of people are moving. College students are going back home to be near their families, immune compromised individuals are moving to less densely populated areas, and other similar situations are still happening. You want to be sure you’ll have the moving truck and crew you need when you want them.

Find the best small load movers in Boston.

Second: use your moving dates to create a schedule to get everything done. The typical small move includes everything you can fit into a dorm room – a few pieces of furniture and personal possessions. Our professional team can pack a small move in just about 3 hours: we recommend giving yourself up to 3 days to get everything done right. Make sure your schedule includes essentials like doing laundry – no one likes unpacking dirty clothes! – and getting moving boxes.

Third: don’t be afraid to downsize. While you may not be able to donate items to some non-profit organizations the way you normally would, it’s still a good idea to go through your things and consider if you still really want or need them before you pack them. Go ahead and toss the things no one can use – and if you can, arrange no-contact pick ups for the stuff you’re willing to give away. The easiest way to save money on your move is to have less stuff to move!

"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."

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!
