Whether you are leaving an East Boston walk-up or moving into a waterfront apartment, Milvus can handle the household move and the packing you need. Share the stairs, service entrance and destination date so the quote reflects both properties, not just the trip between them.
Your estimate depends on the items, access and services you need.
Prefer to talk? 857-895-8955A nearby relocation can still join two very different properties. Tell us about the access at each one so the moving service fits the whole job.
List the flights and photograph the tightest landing. Include the bed frame, sofa and shelving even if you expect to dismantle them yourself. Agree who prepares those pieces and keeps the hardware together before moving day.
Check the approved entrance, service-elevator booking and permitted moving hours. Give Milvus the instructions rather than assuming the main lobby can be used. Include the walk from the unloading position to the apartment.
If East Boston is the pickup for an interstate move, provide the complete destination address and receiving dates. A local hourly table does not describe the entire long-distance arrangement. Request the appropriate route and service estimate.
East Boston includes older homes and restored triple-deckers as well as newer housing, described in the city neighborhood guide. The quote needs the access for your specific unit.
A walk-up needs the floor, entrance steps and total flights, with photos of tight furniture turns. For a managed property, send the loading entrance, elevator hours and paperwork requirements.
Include both full addresses, even if the new home looks close on the map. The usable truck route and the work at each entrance still need to be planned.
Count the flights and send photos of tight landings for the larger pieces.
Confirm the booking hours and access instructions, and check the elevator opening.
Remember belongings in the basement and storage spaces when you count the cartons and furniture.
Check closets, basement storage and any separate unit before finalizing the household list. Identify your items in shared areas and label what stays in the building.
Describe furniture that disassembles and ask which preparation and reassembly work is included. Empty shelves, pack their contents separately and keep hardware identified.
If you want packing help, list fragile items or rooms. Keep documents, medications, keys and the things needed on arrival in a separate personal bag.
Confirm when the old home must be empty and the new one can be entered. Obtain the property appointment where required and name the person who will meet the crew.
For street loading, review Boston's moving-truck parking process if space needs to be reserved. Agree who applies and posts signs, and keep the route between truck and entrance clear.
If the housing dates leave a gap, ask about storage with the original quote. Review the charge, handling and later delivery together.

Discount, Regular, Subpeak, Peak and Highpeak are date categories. Ask which applies to your move. Minimum hours, billable travel, materials and additional services must be confirmed in your estimate.
Confirm the applicable date category and how time is billed, including any minimums and travel terms. Packing, materials and additional services should be explained in the estimate.
Give every pickup and delivery stop at the beginning. A storage unit or second household address needs its own contents and access details.
Do not schedule building access using only a passenger-car journey time. A moving vehicle has its own route, loading work and unloading work to complete. Give Milvus the fixed appointments and discuss a workable schedule around them.
If you are flying or traveling separately, arrange a receiving person and share their contact details. Keep keys, travel documents, medication and the belongings needed before delivery with you. The shipment can then be planned around moving the home while your own travel remains a separate arrangement.
The unit and floor, entrance steps, interior flights, tight landings and any shared storage contents.
List its address, belongings and access before booking so the full job can be reviewed.
Yes, describe the rooms or items you want packed and what you will prepare yourself. Milvus can address the packing labor, materials and moving work in the estimate.
Not necessarily. Stairs, furniture preparation, elevator access and the amount being moved can take more time than the drive. Use the inventory and access to discuss the job, rather than a mileage-only estimate.
Start with the date and addresses. We’ll work through the items, access and options with you.
