Reserve the route your furniture will actually use
| Building detail | What to establish |
|---|---|
| Moving hours | The approved collection or receiving window |
| Service entrance | The assigned door and route from the loading location |
| Elevator | Reservation, cabin and door dimensions, operating instructions |
| Loading area | Vehicle clearance, allowed position and carrying distance |
| Paperwork | Required documents and the person who reviews them |
Send the instructions to Milvus early so requirements can be reviewed. A building reservation and a street parking permit cover different parts of the move.
The route continues beyond the elevator
Check the doors and turns into the apartment
Measure the narrowest openings and turning spaces for larger furniture. Include the corridor between the elevator and the apartment as well as the route from the truck.
Tell Milvus which pieces have removable components or were assembled inside the room. Agree on any dismantling and reassembly before preparation begins.
Stage completed cartons inside the apartment and keep common passages available. If management changes the entrance or time slot, report it before the appointment so the plan can be updated.
Plan public curb space separately
Check Boston’s moving-truck permit process
If the move uses public curb space, review Boston’s moving-truck parking permit guidance for the proposed location. The city provides a process for reserving space; application timing and sign posting need to be handled before moving day.
Confirm who will arrange any permit and signs, and give Milvus the planned loading position. Private loading docks, garages and building entrances still require their own management approval.
Use the building window for the agreed work
Set the preparation responsibilities in advance
Choose the packing scope
Identify owner-packed contents and items Milvus will prepare.
Review preparation timing
Discuss materials, labor and whether packing should precede the moving appointment.
Prepare for collection
Label rooms, separate essentials and show the crew the agreed inventory and route.
Rates and your estimate
Wharf District 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.
Can Milvus move a Wharf District condo?
Yes. Send management’s moving instructions, elevator and loading details, reservations and paperwork requirements before booking.
Does an elevator reservation also reserve a street space?
No. Building access and public curb space are separate arrangements. Review Boston’s permit process if the move needs reserved public space.
What elevator dimensions are useful?
Provide the cabin and door dimensions, plus limiting corridors and apartment openings for larger furniture.
Can packing happen before the building’s moving window?
Discuss the contents and scheduling with Milvus. Confirm the preparation arrangement rather than assuming all packing will fit into the loading window.
What if the building changes my reservation?
Notify Milvus promptly so appointment availability, access and the service scope can be reviewed.
Can you arrange storage between two building appointments?
Discuss it before collection, including the stored load, duration, conditions, access, handling and later delivery charges.
