Detroit is one destination within Michigan
Elsewhere in Michigan
For Ann Arbor, Grand Rapids, Lansing or a more distant destination, request a route-specific quote. State the full location, including any Upper Peninsula address.
Organize the Boston departure
List the load before setting the collection plan
List the rooms and stored contents
Include large furniture, carton groups, basement or garage belongings, and anything at another address.
Choose the preparation
Decide which accepted contents you will pack and which need professional materials, labor or furniture work.
Set the collection requirements
Share your move-out deadline, lawful loading position, stairs, elevator appointment and contact details.
Make receiving access usable
Check the driveway, entrance and carrying route
Describe the Michigan approach before the estimate is finalized: surface, slope, turning room and distance from the loading position to the door. Include exterior steps as well as interior stairs.
For a winter move, arrange for the receiving access to be clear and usable. If snow, ice, roadwork or property work changes the arrangement, tell Milvus before the appointment rather than waiting for the truck to arrive.
MDOT’s Mi Drive provides construction and traffic information for planning your own travel. The shipment’s delivery window must be confirmed with Milvus separately.
Know what the quote covers
Review the work at both ends
| Estimate component | Information to include |
|---|---|
| Transportation | Both addresses, shipment inventory and additional stops |
| Packing | Accepted contents, materials, labor and preparation timing |
| Furniture | Larger dimensions and any agreed dismantling or reassembly |
| Access | Stairs, elevators, loading position and carrying distance |
| Storage | Duration, handling, access and later delivery when required |
Request the complete written interstate estimate and check its pricing basis, valuation, payment, cancellation and scope-change terms. A Detroit starting price is not a fixed Michigan-wide total.
Before large pieces leave the room
Assess the furniture and its route
Measure the awkward pieces
Compare the sofa, mattresses and cabinets with narrow doors, stair turns and the final room.
Empty furniture appropriately
Pack loose shelf contents separately and agree on preparation for drawers and removable components.
Explain construction and condition
Flag pieces assembled in place, delicate finishes and previous damage.
Identify agreed hardware
Keep components grouped with their furniture and the reassembly instructions.
Coordinate travel and receiving
Use the agreed delivery window
Ask which delivery arrangement is available for your Michigan destination and when its timing begins. A personal driving estimate does not establish the household shipment’s arrival.
Arrange keys and a person who can receive the load, and carry medication, documents, chargers and daily essentials yourself. If possession is delayed, review storage conditions, handling and later delivery before collection.
At the new home
Put the load where it belongs
Room placement
Label cartons by destination room and give the recipient a simple furniture plan.
Agreed furniture work
Keep the preparation and reassembly instructions available with the inventory.
Delivery check
Identify the belongings as they arrive and record concerns on the relevant paperwork.
Questions before you book
A few more details
Have a different situation? Call 857-895-8955 and talk it through with Milvus.
Can I request a quote outside Detroit?
Yes. Send the full Michigan address and ZIP code to check route availability and the estimate for that location.
Does the quote cover packing?
Include the accepted contents you want professionally packed and review the materials, labor and timing in the written estimate.
What should I do for a winter delivery?
Arrange usable loading and entrance access, monitor changes and communicate any restrictions before the appointment.
Is a city starting price the final cost?
No. The complete estimate depends on inventory, preparation, access, additional services and the actual destination.
Should I arrange an elevator before booking?
Get the building’s rules and available slots early, then coordinate the reservation with the confirmed delivery arrangement.
Can storage bridge a delay in receiving keys?
Discuss the gap before collection, including duration, conditions, access, handling and later delivery charges.
