Answers On Questions

WHEN SHOULD I BOOK MY MOVE?

It is best to call or email us 2 or 3 weeks prior to the move. Some months or days we are more or less busy than usual but we will always try to find a comfortable solution for you. If you already decided where and when to move you can always reach us by calling: 857 444 3000

HOW MUCH WILL MY MOVE COST?

Your quote depends on many factors. Our managers will be happy to tell you more about it! Or you can get an estimated quote online on our website here. Also, you can find our hourly rate on our website

HOW AND WHEN DO I PAY THE MOVERS?

It depends on the type of move that you have. If you decide to work with us, you need to pay a deposit to secure your move. It is 100$ for local moves and 300$ for long-distance moves . After that, if it is a local move you only pay the remaining part after the moving process is finished. If it is a long-distance move you are required to pay 50% of the quote on the day of the move. The other half is paid after the move is finalized. Don’t worry, the deposit counted towards your final payment. Please note that only your manager will be able to tell you the exact quote. If you choose to work with another company, keep in mind that if the deposit is more than 15% of the estimated quote, you might want to be careful with that company. Moving is quite expensive and there are people that want to take advantage of your unawareness. You can see other customers' opinion on us on Google here

For example, in Boston, a moving permit for a moving truck that requires 2-meter space is around 110$ as the city of Boston suggests. Please, keep in mind that the fee varies from city to city
