Make the moving estimate match your household
| Part of the load | Details to provide |
|---|---|
| Furniture | Larger pieces, dimensions and anything assembled in place |
| Packed contents | Approximate cartons by room, including books and kitchenware |
| Stored areas | Closets, basement and garage belongings you are taking |
| Delicate items | Material, condition and suitable preparation to discuss |
| Extra destinations | Separate inventory for another address or storage |
A bedroom count alone can leave substantial work out of the estimate. Walk through the property and identify what travels, what stays and what needs preparation. Send changes before moving day.
Furniture and contents belong in the same inventory
Show the load across connected rooms
Living and dining rooms often share an open space, but their contents need different preparation. Include the sofa and table as well as cabinet contents, decor and the cartons that will accompany them.
Identify the receiving rooms on finished cartons and keep them away from the carrying route. Leave room to protect or prepare furniture and avoid mixing belongings that are staying into the moving group.
For a piece that was assembled in its current room, send construction details and dimensions. Agree on dismantling and reassembly before removing components, and keep owner-removed fittings with the correct furniture.
Rates and your estimate
Peabody 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.
Use the same scope when comparing prices
Look beyond the lowest hourly figure
Crew and date
Confirm the appropriate crew, vehicle arrangement and rate category for the requested day.
Full billable time
Milvus is based in Waltham. Ask how travel and minimum billing apply to the route.
Preparation
Include selected packing, supplies, furniture work and any applicable access-related charges.
Receiving and extra stops
List all destinations and storage handling or later delivery where relevant.
Review the route at both properties
Street access and a driveway need different details
House or split-level layout
Include entrance steps, internal level changes, low openings and stored areas. Share driveway space, restrictions and carrying distance.
Decide where the load goes before collection
Coordinate the next address with the departure date
Confirm receiving access
Arrange keys and someone who can direct placement. Include moving hours and a usable unloading position.
Discuss a date gap
If direct delivery will not work, agree on storage inventory, duration, conditions, access, handling and redelivery charges.
Request interstate terms when needed
For a destination outside Massachusetts, ask for a route-specific estimate and delivery arrangement.
Questions before you book
A few more details
Have a different situation? Call 857-895-8955 and talk it through with Milvus.
Can Milvus move a full Peabody household?
Yes. Provide main-room furniture, approximate cartons and stored belongings, with packing and access details at both homes.
Why is the inventory more useful than the bedroom count?
It describes the actual furniture, contents and preparation workload, including closets, basements and garages that a bedroom count can miss.
Can I choose packing for only one room?
Yes. Identify the room and contents, then agree on labor, supplies and preparation timing.
Does a driveway mean loading access is straightforward?
Share its usable space, restrictions, surface and route to the entrance. A vehicle position needs to work for the moving truck and the load.
How should I compare moving estimates?
Use the same inventory, addresses and services. Check crew, date category, minimum billing, travel, preparation and applicable extra charges.
Can belongings go to storage before the next home?
Discuss the separate inventory and confirm duration, conditions, access, handling and later delivery before collection.
