Move a packed home
Provide furniture and approximate cartons, with remaining protection or preparation identified.

Put the pickup and receiving requirements side by side for your Natick move. Milvus can help plan the furniture route, packing work and timing at both homes, including storage if you cannot move out and in on the same date.
Your estimate depends on the items, access and services you need.
Prefer to talk? 857-895-8955| Question | Pickup property | Receiving property |
|---|---|---|
| When is access available? | Required departure and moving hours | Keys and available delivery window |
| Where can the truck load? | Driveway or agreed street position | Usable unloading position |
| How does furniture pass? | Doors, stairs, turns or elevator | Final room and the full route to it |
| Who gives instructions? | Owner, tenant or building manager | Recipient with room instructions |
Send any fixed reservation or access window before the appointment is agreed. If the receiving property is not ready, have storage discussed in the original plan rather than leaving a gap in the delivery instructions.

Choose where the largest pieces will go and check the route into those rooms. Door openings, stair turns and elevator dimensions matter as much as the floor space once the furniture is inside.
Give Milvus details of furniture assembled in the current room, removable components and existing damage. Have required disassembly and reassembly identified before booking. Keep owner-removed fittings with the relevant piece.
Ask the recipient to keep the route available and provide clear room instructions. Include any building reservation, service-entrance rule or paperwork requirement with the destination details.
Provide furniture and approximate cartons, with remaining protection or preparation identified.
Choose kitchenware, fragile belongings or rooms. Agree on supplies, labor and timing.
Include closets and stored areas. Separate the belongings you need during preparation and the move.
Natick’s parking guide explains metered, kiosk and permit parking around Natick Center, including location-specific limits. Check the current guidance and street signs where the moving vehicle will stand.
Ordinary commuter or business parking permission should not be assumed to reserve a loading space for a truck. Confirm a suitable arrangement with the property and appropriate authority, then tell Milvus the position and carrying distance.
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.
Confirm the appropriate rate and vehicle arrangement for the inventory.
Milvus is based in Waltham. Ask how the full billable time and minimum billing are calculated.
Review packing materials, labor, furniture preparation and applicable access-related charges.
Include extra addresses and tell Milvus about changed dates or a larger inventory before moving day.
Confirm inventory, expected duration, conditions, access, handling and redelivery charges before collection.
Request a route-specific interstate estimate and delivery arrangement instead of applying the local hourly figures.
