A household move
Count rooms and stored areas, furniture and approximate cartons. Identify the pieces needing disassembly and anything you are leaving behind.

Milvus moves Hadley households and smaller apartment loads, with packing for selected belongings or the whole home. Plan the journey to your next address and arrange storage if the pickup and receiving dates do not line up.
Your estimate depends on the items, access and services you need.

Separate your belongings from those staying in the property. Include your larger furniture, cartons and access to the rooms involved.
List each piece, its dimensions and all addresses. Have preparation, crew, travel and minimum billing explained for the appointment.

Keep book cartons manageable rather than filling the largest available box. Identify the destination room and keep finished cartons away from the furniture route. If you want Milvus to pack them, include the quantity and supplies in your request.
Back up personal files before preparing household electronics. Keep chargers and removable components identified with their equipment, and discuss suitable packing for monitors and other delicate items. Data setup and technical reconnection should not be assumed to be included in a household move.
If you need to work or study during a storage gap, set aside the equipment and records you will use. Put them with the belongings staying accessible, not inside the stored household inventory.
Distinguish a preferred moving day from the date the property must be empty. Share any flexibility before the appointment is quoted.
Confirm keys, an available recipient and any building moving hours. Include stairs, elevators or loading requirements in the request.
If the receiving home is unavailable, discuss storage before collection. Define what is stored and what remains with you.
Agree on packing, materials, furniture preparation and delivery arrangements, then review the complete estimate.
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.
Milvus is based in Waltham. A Hadley appointment needs travel and billable time explained along with the crew rate. Provide complete addresses and ask what minimum time and other applicable charges form part of the estimate.
The route may remain within Massachusetts or continue into another state. For an interstate destination, request the appropriate route-specific quote and delivery arrangement rather than extending the local hourly table across the trip.
Extra stops, storage and packing change the service scope. Put them in the initial request when possible, and update Milvus before moving day if the inventory or route changes.
| Check | Details to share |
|---|---|
| Vehicle access | Driveway or loading space and distance to the door |
| Inside route | Floors, stairs, turns and usable doorway openings |
| Furniture fit | Dimensions and photographs of the largest or awkward pieces |
| Property instructions | Keys, reservations, management hours and requested paperwork |
Keep packed belongings inside rooms and leave shared passages open. A truck position close to the building still needs a usable route through the correct entrance.
List the furniture and cartons, expected duration and final destination. Confirm storage conditions, access, handling and redelivery charges.
Keep essential documents, medication, keys and the personal items you need during the gap with you. Reaching stored cartons later may require arrangements.
