A packed household
Provide furniture and carton counts and identify unfinished preparation.

Give Milvus both addresses for your Westport move, even if the next home is only a short drive away. The route and access shape the estimate. We can review packing, furniture preparation and transport within Massachusetts or across state lines.
Your estimate depends on the items, access and services you need.
Prefer to talk? 857-895-8955| Your destination | How to start the estimate |
|---|---|
| Another Massachusetts home | Give the inventory, date, preparation and both properties’ access |
| Rhode Island or another state | Request an interstate quote and delivery arrangement |
| More than one address | Separate the inventory, recipient and timing for each stop |
| Storage before the next home | Discuss duration, conditions, access, handling and redelivery |
This page covers Westport, Massachusetts. Include the full state and ZIP code for both addresses when you request the move.

For a household divided between the next home, storage or another recipient, make an inventory for each group. Identify the destination on cartons as well as the room where they will be placed.
Keep personal luggage and immediate essentials out of the truck load. Show the crew which belongings stay and which leave under the agreed moving plan.
If only selected furniture is travelling, list each piece with its dimensions and preparation needs. That gives Milvus more useful information than a room count that includes belongings you are leaving behind.
Provide furniture and carton counts and identify unfinished preparation.
Ask for accepted fragile contents or particular rooms, with materials and labor agreed.
Include cupboards and stored contents and discuss scheduling before loading.
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.
Confirm the number of movers and truck for your inventory.
Milvus is based in Waltham; ask how the full route and billable time are calculated.
Include packing labor, materials and agreed furniture dismantling or reassembly.
Have extra stops, storage, redelivery and applicable access-related charges explained.
Describe driveway clearance, the proposed loading position and the distance to the entrance. Send actual stairs, turns and narrow openings for larger furniture, including contents in separate stored areas.
For a managed property, obtain its moving hours, entrance instructions and reservation or paperwork requirements. Confirm when the receiving home can open and who will direct placement.
If the next address is unavailable on the collection date, discuss the arrangement before booking. Review storage and later delivery where needed instead of leaving the destination unresolved.
Confirm the inventory, accepted items, packing scope and pickup access.
Review the delivery arrangement, receiving contact, building hours and any access changes.
