Have the receiving home ready for the load
Choose the rooms for larger furniture and identify cartons by where they belong. Check doorways, stairs and elevator dimensions before the move, especially when furniture is changing between a house and an apartment.
Arrange someone with keys to admit the crew and direct placement. Share fixed property moving hours or a reserved elevator with Milvus before the appointment is confirmed.
If the receiving date is later than collection, discuss storage for a defined inventory. Confirm duration, conditions, access, handling and redelivery charges before pickup.
Rates and your estimate
South Shore 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.

Questions before you book
A few more details
Have a different situation? Call 857-895-8955 and talk it through with Milvus.
Does Milvus serve South Shore households?
Yes. Send the towns, addresses and inventory, then confirm availability and the moving scope with Milvus. The company is based in Waltham.
Can I combine packing and moving?
Yes. Choose selected contents, rooms or fuller household packing and agree on materials, labor and timing.
Can the move include a stop at another address?
List that inventory separately and provide access, a recipient and timing for the additional stop.
How should I compare South Shore moving prices?
Compare the same inventory, date, crew, preparation, travel, minimum billing and access-related work. The headline hourly rate is only one part of the estimate.
What if my new property is not ready?
Discuss storage before collection, including the inventory, duration, conditions, access, handling and later delivery charges.
Can the destination be outside Massachusetts?
Request an interstate estimate and delivery arrangement for the actual address. Do not treat local hourly rates as an interstate total.
