Moving from Boston to Washington, DC? Milvus can handle the household shipment, with packing and storage available around your dates. Plan the move for the apartment, rowhouse or condo you are actually entering, then request an estimate that accounts for its access and receiving window.
Your estimate depends on the items, access and services you need.
Prefer to talk? 857-895-8955Washington, DC and the surrounding Virginia and Maryland communities are different delivery addresses. Put the exact destination into the quote from the beginning.
Collect the service-entrance and elevator instructions before fixing the delivery appointment. Include the apartment number and receiving contact. If management requests move paperwork, forward its wording to Milvus for review with the booking details.
List the furniture going upstairs and into lower-level rooms. Photograph the steps, landings and tighter doorways. The arrival plan should cover the route inside the property as well as finding a place for the truck.
Give your first available receiving date and any times you cannot attend. Keep work essentials outside the truck shipment. If the home is unavailable before your Boston move-out, discuss storage and later delivery instead of assuming the schedules will align.
Keep NW, NE, SW or SE with the street name whenever you share a Washington address. Add the ZIP code too. Those details connect the correct property with its loading entrance and receiving instructions.
Tell Milvus whether you are moving into an apartment, a rowhouse or a home outside the District. Arlington, Alexandria and Maryland destinations should use their actual addresses in the estimate. We can review the Boston pickup and the receiving address together.
Separate fixed dates from flexible ones, particularly around a new job or lease start. Discuss the moving schedule before booking your own travel.
Plan for someone to meet the crew at delivery and show the agreed rooms. Keep work documents, keys and the items you need immediately out of the shipment. If your housing dates leave a gap, ask Milvus about storage before the pickup.
For a Washington to Boston move, send the same level of detail in the opposite direction. The DC building becomes the pickup address, and the Boston parking and stair arrangements need to be ready for arrival. Request a quote for that direction rather than assuming an outbound starting price applies unchanged.
Your final estimate depends on inventory, access, packing and the agreed service.
Delivery option: next day. Confirm availability and your delivery window when booking.
Get a quote for your moveYour inventory, packing requirements and access shape the estimate. Include home-office equipment, fragile lamps and any stored boxes along with the furniture in the main rooms. Ask for disassembly, reassembly and materials to be described where they apply.
A quote should also make the delivery arrangements clear. Confirm what happens if building access changes or you need to add a stop. Getting those details into the scope is more useful than relying on a broad promise about a quick move.
Ask your DC building for its written moving instructions. Find out how to reserve a service elevator, where a truck can load or unload, and who admits the crew. Pass along any insurance paperwork requirements early enough for review.
For a rowhouse, photograph the stoop and stair turns rather than only the front facade. A basement apartment may use an entirely different entrance. Keep the path clear and identify which room will receive large pieces before unloading starts.
An access window is not useful unless a receiving person has the keys and permission to admit the crew. Settle the building instructions and share the contact details before the move. If you will be in meetings or traveling, arrange another authorized person who knows the room plan.
Ask Milvus to explain the delivery arrangement attached to the estimate, including packing, furniture preparation and any additional stops. A route starting price does not establish the exact service for every household. Update provisional dates as soon as the lease or closing is confirmed.
No. This page covers the District of Columbia. If you are moving to Washington State, specify the city and ZIP code; our Seattle route page may be the more relevant starting point.
Tell Milvus the required appointment before booking. The building's hours and the available moving schedule must fit together. Confirm the arrangement in writing before making the elevator reservation final.
Ask for full packing or selected items and rooms. Point out delicate pieces and anything with special handling needs so the labor and materials can be considered in the estimate.
Provide both addresses, dates, inventory and access details. Include the DC quadrant, any elevator booking and the Boston unloading plan. Milvus can then review the move in the correct direction.
Provide the actual Virginia address and ZIP code when requesting the quote. The surrounding area should not be entered as a generic DC destination. Milvus can review the route and access for the address you will use.
Arrange an authorized receiving person and give Milvus their contact details. They need access to the property and clear instructions for the rooms and furniture placement. Confirm the arrangement before delivery.
Start with the date and addresses. We’ll work through the items, access and options with you.
