Plan collection and receiving as one appointment
Before collection
Choose packing support, finish the inventory and identify furniture preparation. Share access and departure requirements.
Loading and travel
Have Milvus review the crew, vehicle and full route from its Waltham base. Confirm how travel and billable time are calculated.
At the next home
Arrange keys, usable unloading access and a recipient with room instructions. Share any fixed building window before booking.
Books and home-office contents add up
Count packed contents alongside the furniture
A desk and two bookcases do not describe the full load if every shelf is filled. Include the approximate book quantity, work equipment and other study contents when you request the moving quote.
Use suitably sized cartons for heavy contents and identify fragile equipment separately. Keep daily-use devices, important records and medication with you. Ask about packing help for the contents you do not want to prepare yourself.
For furniture assembled in the room, send dimensions and construction details before dismantling. Agree on the required preparation and any reassembly, and keep owner-removed fittings with the correct piece.
A room or a complete household
Choose the scope from the belongings you are taking
A full household
Include closets and stored spaces as well as main rooms. Mark delicate, unusual or heavy items for review before booking.
Rates and your estimate
Published Northampton local moving rates
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.
Compare the complete moving estimate
Have each part of the work explained
| Cost component | What to check |
|---|---|
| Crew and vehicle | Appropriate size and the category for your date |
| Billable time | Minimum billing and the treatment of travel for the complete route |
| Packing | Selected contents, labor, materials and timing |
| Furniture and access | Preparation, carrying route and applicable additional charges |
| Extra destinations | Additional stops or storage handling and later delivery |
For a Northampton–Boston move, do not estimate the final price from driving time alone. Loading, unloading, property access and chosen preparation also form part of the appointment. Tell Milvus about changes to the load or schedule before moving day.
At both addresses
Give the crew a workable route
Vehicle position
Explain the available loading or unloading space, restrictions and carrying distance.
Stairs and entrances
List actual flights, exterior steps, tight turns and low openings.
Building appointment
Include service-entrance instructions, elevator dimensions and any reserved window.
Larger pieces
Measure the furniture and limiting openings, including the final room at delivery.
When the receiving date changes
Arrange storage before collection
A departure date and an available receiving date do not always coincide. If the next property cannot take the load, identify the belongings needing storage and discuss the expected duration before pickup.
Confirm storage conditions, access, handling and redelivery charges. Keep the items you need during the gap separate and update Milvus when the receiving arrangements change.
If you are moving outside Massachusetts, ask for an interstate estimate and delivery arrangement for the actual destination. The local hourly rates do not establish the price for that route.
Questions before you book
A few more details

Can Milvus move between Northampton and Boston?
Yes. Send the inventory, addresses, access and dates so the full route and moving workload can be quoted.

Yes. List the actual furniture and cartons and confirm crew, minimum billing, travel and preparation for the appointment. No separate student discount is assumed.
How should books be included in the inventory?
Give an approximate quantity or carton estimate alongside the bookcases. Identify packing help and other heavy or fragile contents separately.
Is the price based only on the drive?
No. Review the crew rate, billable time, travel, preparation, access and applicable charges for the complete job.
What happens if the receiving date is later?
Discuss storage before collection and confirm inventory, duration, conditions, access, handling and redelivery.
Can you prepare the whole home for moving?
