To Transport Treasured Heirlooms, Grandmother Opts Not To Drive Cross Country Herself

May 18, 2023 by admin

“After 45 years in Quincy, I’m finally pulling up stakes and moving to North Carolina,” Lucy said. “I am going to spend my retirement where it’s warm and sunny.” Lucy has two children. “My son Glen lives in Spokane, and my daughter is just outside of Dallas.” Downsizing for the move means finding new homes for some treasured family furniture.

“I asked both of the kids, and they each wanted specific items. Glen wants the sideboard from the front hall, as well as his Father’s nightstand and the green chair from the living room. Renee is taking the dining room table and chairs.” Lucy laughed. “The only issue is how am I going to get these things to them. I’ve driven to Texas before, and it was a long and difficult journey. I am not eager to do that again – especially with a truck.”

Quincy MA Pack and Ship Services: The Smart Alternative

“I had moved all the furniture into the garage, thinking I was going to rent a U-Haul and do this myself.” Lucy said. “But then I actually got on the phone and found out how much this truck rental was going to cost. Did you know you pay by the mile? It’s a very long way to Dallas – and a much further way to Spokane. I was going to be spending a fortune, and that’s before considering the cost of gas, hotel rooms along the way, and everything else that goes into a long journey.”

Seeking an alternative, Lucy called the Quincy MA pack and ship service. “I told them what was going on, and they said they could definitely help me out.” Lucy’s quote included having members from the pack and ship service actually come to her house, crate up the furniture, and deliver the items to her children. “By the time I did the numbers, I was spending less money. It was a lot less stressful – they could even deliver the furniture to Glen on the weekend, when he knew he’d be home – and honestly, a lot less physically demanding for me.”

“If you have large furniture to transport cross country, I strongly recommend letting the pros handle it,” Lucy concluded. “Work smarter, not harder!”

"My mother was living in a retirement community in Massachusetts. After she passed, there were three groups of items that needed to go to three different locations. One of those groups contained a large china cabinet. This had much sentimental value for me but it needed refinishing before having it shipped to my home in Virginia. I was referred to Boston Pack and Ship. They advised me to ship it directly to a refinisher to save me from having to move the cabinet one more time. Boston Pack and Ship stored the china cabinet while I searched for a refinisher near my home. Long story short, I found a refinisher here in Virginia and Boston Pack and Ship prepared the china cabinet for delivery. It arrived safe and sound to the refinisher on schedule who said it was ‘beautifully wrapped and protected'. I can't thank Bill and Boston Pack and Ship enough for their help in getting my china cabinet to me safely. Most importantly, they were caring and patient at a difficult time in my life."

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!
