Changing your main home
Include furniture, cartons and stored belongings from each room, garage or other agreed area. Identify packing still needed.

Moving a Salisbury household, furnishing a seasonal home or taking selected belongings to your next address? Milvus can organize furniture, cartons and packing around that inventory. We review both properties and the receiving date before preparing the moving estimate.
Your estimate depends on the items, access and services you need.

List what travels and what remains furnished at the home. Separate personal essentials and any load going to a second address.

For a seasonal-home move, plan what you need as soon as you arrive: personal essentials, selected bedding and access to the rooms you will use first. Keep the belongings you are carrying yourself apart from the main moving load.
Identify the furniture and cartons that belong at the Salisbury property. If part of the load goes elsewhere, include that stop and inventory in the quote rather than combining the groups on moving day.
Arrange a person with keys to receive the delivery. Confirm usable entrances, room placement and any property moving hours before the appointment, especially if you will be travelling separately.
| Detail | Why it belongs in the request |
|---|---|
| Vehicle position | A suitable loading place and the carrying distance to the home |
| Stairs and openings | The actual route for furniture, including exterior steps |
| Large or delicate pieces | Dimensions, condition and preparation requirements |
| Receiving contact | Someone with access who can direct placement |
| Extra destinations | Separate inventory, access and timing for every stop |
For public-street loading, check the signs and applicable town requirements at the actual address. Confirm suitable truck space separately from ordinary visitor parking.
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. Ask how travel and the route are included in billable time for pickup and delivery, and confirm minimum billing before accepting the estimate.
Review the moving date category, crew and truck with the preparation you need. Packing labor, materials, furniture work, extra stops and applicable access-related charges should be explained alongside the hourly rate.
If the load changes as you choose what stays at the seasonal property, update Milvus before moving day. A clear inventory helps keep the quoted work aligned with the actual appointment.
Review local rates with the full addresses, inventory and service scope.
Request an interstate estimate and delivery arrangement, even if the destination is geographically close.
Confirm the stored group, duration, conditions, access, handling and redelivery charges before pickup.
Choose owner packing, selected fragile contents or broader Milvus packing support.
Identify detachable parts and agree on required dismantling and reassembly.
