A resident sticker is not a moving-truck arrangement
Winthrop’s resident parking guidance says vehicles with commercial plates do not qualify for resident parking stickers. Do not assume your household sticker authorizes the moving truck to use a restricted space.
Check the signs and contact the town about the appropriate arrangement for the proposed location. Give Milvus the lawful loading position and carrying distance, and obtain any separate private-property instructions from the owner or management.
The floor number does not describe the whole carry
Show the stairs and turns with the larger furniture
Count the actual flights and include exterior steps before the entrance. Photograph the narrowest doorways, landings and turns, then provide dimensions for the pieces that may be difficult to move through them.
Tell Milvus if a bed, cabinet or table was assembled inside the room. Agree on any dismantling, protection and reassembly before removing parts.
Keep stairs and shared halls clear while packing. Stage cartons inside rooms and identify the receiving room on each group so the crew can follow the agreed route.

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 I use a Winthrop resident sticker for the moving truck?
The town says commercial-plate vehicles do not qualify for resident parking stickers. Check the appropriate loading arrangement for the vehicle and location with the town.
What information is useful for a walk-up move?
Send actual flights, exterior steps, narrow doors and photographs of turns, together with larger furniture dimensions.
Can furniture be dismantled for a tight entrance?
Have the item assessed and agree on specific preparation and reassembly. Do not assume every piece can be safely dismantled.
Can Milvus pack selected contents?
Yes. Identify the accepted items and review materials, labor and preparation timing.
Do stairs affect the estimate?
Access can affect the work and time required. Describe it accurately and have any applicable charges explained in the complete quote.
Can you arrange storage between homes?
Discuss the inventory, duration, conditions, access, handling and later delivery charges before collection.
