House or two-family property
Include the floor of each main item, entrance steps, shared driveway and any basement or garage inventory. Photograph a difficult turn and show where the truck can stand.

Start your Chicopee moving quote with the two addresses and the belongings going between them. Milvus can review a local move, a trip toward Boston or an interstate route, with packing and receiving arrangements included in the plan.
Your estimate depends on the items, access and services you need.
Prefer to talk? 857-895-8955Milvus is based in Waltham. For a Chicopee appointment, ask how travel to the pickup, the journey between homes and the return travel are handled in the estimate. A published hourly rate alone does not establish the cost of reaching your property.
A move within the Springfield area, a relocation across Massachusetts and a move into Connecticut need their own route and service discussions. Provide the complete destination address, not just a town name, and include any additional collection or delivery stop.
If the new home has restricted receiving hours, tell Milvus before selecting the pickup appointment. That window needs to work with the inventory, preparation and travel involved.

List beds, tables, desks and shelves that need disassembly. Explain whether they were assembled inside the room and identify missing hardware or existing damage. Confirm the agreed disassembly and receiving-side reassembly in the service scope.
For furniture you have already taken apart, keep the hardware in a secure, identified bag and the components together. Do not place loose screws or brackets where they can scratch a finish or disappear into an unrelated carton.
Photograph the carrying route for larger components. Even after disassembly, a tabletop, headboard or cabinet panel may need room to turn through a door or stair landing.
Milvus publishes five date categories for local moving. The table shows the hourly rate for a crew with a truck. Confirm the category for your date and the complete booking terms before accepting your estimate.
| Date category | 2 movers + truck | 3 movers + truck | 4 movers + truck |
|---|---|---|---|
| Discount | $110/hr | $160/hr | $210/hr |
| Regular | $120/hr | $170/hr | $220/hr |
| Subpeak | $150/hr | $200/hr | $250/hr |
| Peak | $180/hr | $230/hr | $280/hr |
| Highpeak | $260/hr | $360/hr | $460/hr |
Additional mover and additional truck rates are $55/hour each in the Discount category, $65/hour each in Regular, Subpeak and Peak, and $75/hour each in Highpeak. Ask which crew and vehicle arrangement fits your inventory.
The hourly rate is one part of the estimate. Confirm minimum billable time, travel, packing labor and materials, access-related work and any other applicable charges. A move is not booked by viewing these rates.
Include the floor of each main item, entrance steps, shared driveway and any basement or garage inventory. Photograph a difficult turn and show where the truck can stand.
Obtain the moving hours, elevator or loading reservation and paperwork instructions. Confirm the approved entrance and pass the same details for the receiving building.
Tell Milvus whether you will pack the household and how many cartons you expect. Keep them closed, manageable to carry and marked by destination room.
Identify mirrors, artwork, glass and delicate furniture. Request the labor and materials appropriate to those specific pieces.
Describe equipment, a piano or other nonstandard item before the appointment is planned. Include dimensions, access and any manufacturer’s preparation instructions.
Keep documents, keys, medication and the things needed immediately after the move with you. Separate anything that should not enter storage.
| Situation | Discuss before booking |
|---|---|
| Both homes are available | Pickup and receiving windows, keys and loading access |
| Delivery must wait | Storage availability, duration, conditions and handling |
| Another person receives the load | Their access arrangements and furniture-placement instructions |
| Dates are still provisional | Booking terms, schedule changes and when to update Milvus |
Storage is a separate service arrangement. Ask for collection, storage and redelivery charges to be explained together, and confirm any access you may need to stored items.
