Step-by-Step Guide to Moving Your Appliances

To understand how Boston Best Rate Movers operates, here is a step-by-step guide detailing their moving process:

1. Initial Consultation

The process begins with an initial consultation. Boston Best Rate Movers evaluates your moving needs, discusses the types and conditions of the appliances involved, and provides a comprehensive quote. This transparency helps you plan effectively, eliminating surprises on moving day.

2. Preparation

Preparation is key. The team advises you on how to appropriately prepare your appliances before the move. For instance, emptying the refrigerator of food items, disconnecting water hoses from washers, and unplugging all appliances helps ensure a smoother transition.

3. Packing and Protection

Before loading, the movers take extra precautions to protect your appliances. This often involves wrapping them in specialized moving blankets or bubble wrap. Such measures significantly reduce the chance of scratches or dents during transport.

4. Loading

Once secured, the appliances are carefully loaded onto the moving truck. The team uses professional-grade equipment to assist in maneuvering large items, focusing on balance and stability.

5. Transportation

After loading, your appliances are transported to the new location. During transit, the team monitors conditions to ensure everything remains in perfect shape.

6. Unloading and Installation

Upon arrival, the Boston Best Rate Movers team unloads your appliances and positions them in your new home. They can also assist with reinstallation, ensuring that your appliances are set up correctly and ready to use.

7. Final Check

A last check is performed to confirm that everything is in order and functioning properly. This thoroughness ensures that you are satisfied with the move and that all appliances are operational.

Tips for Preparing Your Appliances for a Move

While hiring professionals like Boston Best Rate Movers alleviates much of the stress associated with appliance moving, you can still take steps to prepare:

1. Clean and Empty

Before moving day, clean your appliances thoroughly and empty them completely. For refrigerators, this helps prevent issues like mold and ensures easier transportation.

2. Disconnect and Remove Parts

Disconnect appliances from power and water sources ahead of time. Removing detachable parts, like washing machine hoses, can prevent loss or damage during transit.

3. Secure Loose Parts

For larger appliances, make sure that any loose parts are securely packed to prevent movement during transit. This can save you from having to make repairs later.

4. Collect Important Manuals

Gather any manuals, warranties, and additional components that may assist in setting up your appliances at the new location. This documentation can be invaluable post-move.

Making the Most Out of Your Move

When you choose to hire Boston Best Rate Movers, you are investing in a smooth moving experience. Here are a couple of strategies to maximize your relocation:

1. Communicate

Keep in touch with the moving team leading up to and during the move. Clear communication ensures that everyone is informed and can address any questions or concerns you may have.

2. Be Present During the Move

Being onsite allows you to oversee the process. It also offers an opportunity to give any last-minute instructions.

Packaging Services & Supplies

Packing and unpacking can be the most tiresome part of moving. We offer top-notch packing services to reduce the stress of moving. Our packing services are based on the same hourly rates as moving plus cost of packing supplies. If you’d like us to do all, or part of your packing and/or unpacking, please let us know well in advance, since there is a high demand for our packing crews.

Full Service Packing

Should you hire a full service crew? This is a decision you need to make based on time versus cost. A packing service could add a couple hundred dollars to your moving budget. However, if you need to take two weeks off of work in order to get the house packed and organized, it may be worth the price. Most of the time, we can pack your home in one day. This saves not only time, but the hassle of living with -and out of- boxes.

Packing Specialty Items

If you are on a budget or you want to lower the cost of your move, we offer packing of specialty items, particularly fragile only: kitchen, artwork, mirrors, or other breakables or valuables. You can also inquire about our crating services for extra valuable items.

Self-Packing

If you choose to pack yourself, we offer FREE box delivery in the Greater Boston area with a $50 minimum order, when you move with Boston Flat Rate Movers. You pay only for the boxes you use, and we will collect any unused boxes on the day of your move. Don’t know how many boxes you need for your move size? Check our PACKAGES.

Packing Tips

Pack Smart

Load heavier items into smaller boxes. Overloaded large boxes are more likely meant to carry with 2 movers, one box at a time. Those boxes have a greater chance of collapsing because of their own weight and they are almost impossible to stack in the truck. All of this will slow down your whole move process. Fill up each box to the top, and if necessary, use plenty of packing paper to make sure there is no spare room left.

Book Boxes (1.5 cu. ft.)

These are designed to hold books! Yes, the smallest boxes should be used for the heaviest items books, papers, files, CDs, DVDs, record albums (some people still have them O), canned food and tools/hardware. Pack them tightly since these cartons often end up on or near the bottom when the truck is loaded.

3-Cubes (3.0 cu. ft.)

These are used for clothing, small electronics, miscellaneous items from drawers and kitchen cabinets, small picture frames, shoes and many other medium-weight items.

Large Cartons (6.0 cu. ft.)

These are great for bulky items that do not weigh a whole lot for their size bedding, pots and pans, sweaters, lampshades, etc.
