Time and route
Confirm the date category, crew, truck, minimum billing and travel from Milvus’s Waltham base.

Separate the belongings leaving your Wilmington home from those staying behind. Milvus can plan transport and the packing you choose around that list, with furniture access and destination rooms discussed before pickup.
Your estimate depends on the items, access and services you need.
Prefer to talk? 857-895-8955List furniture and approximate cartons by room.
Give that group its own destination, recipient and access details.
Keep excluded belongings clearly apart from the moving load.
Identify delicate, unusually heavy or potentially restricted contents individually.

A few unfinished cupboards can add more packing than the room count suggests. Tell Milvus what remains loose, including fragile kitchen contents, small appliances and other accepted belongings.
Choose what you will pack and what you want the movers to prepare. Discuss suitable materials, labor and timing so the packing scope is understood before the appointment.
Use room labels on finished cartons and keep them away from shared entrances or stairs. If the amount of unfinished packing grows, update Milvus before collection.
| Furniture detail | Access detail |
|---|---|
| Dimensions and construction | Narrowest doors and turning spaces |
| Removable components | Agreed preparation and reassembly responsibilities |
| Existing damage or delicate finishes | Protection and handling needs for assessment |
| Contents in stored areas | Actual stairs, separate entrances and carrying distance |
Include the receiving property too. Check that the furniture can reach its intended room.
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 date category, crew, truck, minimum billing and travel from Milvus’s Waltham base.

Confirm keys, a recipient and the usable loading position.
Direct placement by room and keep personal essentials separate from household cartons.
For belongings going into storage, review the inventory, duration, conditions, access, handling and later delivery charges. Separate anything you will need while the load is stored.
For a destination outside Massachusetts, request an interstate estimate and delivery arrangement. Include all pickup and receiving addresses rather than assuming the local hourly table determines the total.
