Connect the move-out deadline with access to the next home
Confirm when you must leave
Give Milvus the agreed move-out time and any building hours. Include the packing and furniture preparation still to do.
Confirm when you can enter
Arrange a recipient, keys and any elevator or loading reservation at the receiving address.
Resolve a gap before collection
If the dates do not connect, discuss storage for the inventory, including handling, access and later delivery charges.
One apartment may contain several separate moves
Identify your belongings before the crew arrives
In a shared Roxbury apartment, make one list of the furniture and cartons included in your move. Mark anything that belongs to a roommate or stays with the property, especially shared tables, shelves and kitchen items.
Group cartons by their receiving rooms. If belongings are going to more than one address, separate each group and give Milvus the destination, recipient and access details before booking.
A room move can still include a large bed, desk or sofa that needs preparation. Send dimensions and photographs of the limiting doors or stair turns so that work is included in the quote.
Describe the route beyond the floor number
Review the carry from the truck to the final room
| Part of the route | What to send |
|---|---|
| Street to entrance | Proposed loading position, carrying distance and exterior steps |
| Stairwell | Actual flights, narrow turns, landings and photographs |
| Furniture | Dimensions of bulky pieces and details of items assembled in place |
| Receiving property | Doorways, stairs or elevator dimensions and reserved hours |
Keep common stairs and entrances available while packing. Tell Milvus if access changes after the estimate; a different entrance or an unavailable elevator can change the work.
Rates and your estimate
Roxbury 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 full appointment
Ask what the hourly estimate covers
Confirm the crew, truck and category for your moving date. The published table is a starting point for reviewing the inventory, preparation and access; it is not a fixed total for every apartment of the same size.
Milvus is based in Waltham. Have travel, minimum billing, packing labor and materials, furniture work and any applicable extra charges explained in the estimate. Include additional stops and all destinations.
During a lease change, send any fixed move-out or move-in hours with the first request. Confirm availability and current booking terms directly before relying on the appointment.
For a Roxbury street pickup
Plan the truck position using Boston’s moving guidance
Boston provides a process for reserving legal street space for a moving truck. Review the current application and sign-posting instructions for your date and location, then agree on who will arrange the space.
Give Milvus the proposed position and distance to the entrance. Building access, a permit and a clear furniture route are separate details; include all three in the plan.
Choose how much preparation to hand over
Pack the room yourself or add professional packing
Help with remaining contents
Ask Milvus to pack selected items, a room or the household. Agree on supplies, labor and preparation timing before moving day.
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 only my belongings from a shared Roxbury apartment?
Yes. Provide an agreed list and clearly identify excluded furniture and cartons. Include separate destinations if the load is being divided.
What should I send about a walk-up?
Give actual stair flights, tight turns, exterior steps and photographs, plus the dimensions of larger furniture. Include the receiving route too.
Can you pack the kitchen or fragile contents?
Yes. Identify the contents and confirm the packing work, supplies, labor and timing as part of the appointment.
What if my old and new leases do not overlap?
Discuss storage before pickup. Confirm the inventory, duration, conditions, access, handling and redelivery arrangement.
Is a Boston moving permit included automatically?
Do not assume it is. Review the city guidance and agree on responsibility for the loading arrangement before the move.
Can this move continue outside Massachusetts?
Request an interstate estimate with the full destination, inventory and delivery arrangement. Local hourly figures do not establish the interstate price.
