Prefer to talk? 857-895-8955Decide what happens before loading
Agree on preparation time as well as the moving date
Inventory the contents
Include furniture, cartons and stored belongings. Point out rooms that still need packing.
Choose packing support
Specify selected fragile contents, particular rooms or a wider packing service, with labor and materials explained.
Confirm the schedule
Ask whether packing and moving will happen in one appointment or separately. Confirm the arrangement for your actual inventory.
Connect the receiving property
Give access hours, a recipient and any elevator reservation before booking.
Plan around the contents inside the cabinets
Give delicate household items enough preparation
A dining room can include heavy furniture and many small fragile objects. List both: the table and cabinet, plus dishes, glassware and other contents that need packing.
Separate what you will use until departure from the contents ready to pack. Agree on suitable containers and protection with Milvus, and identify the receiving room on completed cartons.
Furniture preparation is a separate part of the scope. Describe extension leaves, detachable legs, glass sections or pieces assembled in place, then agree on the work before removing anything.
Choose help room by room
A house and an apartment need a specific inventory
Stored household belongings
Include accepted basement, garage and other stored items rather than leaving them out of the first request.
Furniture and unusual items
Provide dimensions, condition and access details for bulky, heavy or delicate pieces.
Rates and your estimate
Shrewsbury 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.
