Packing Services
We know how to professionally pack your items
Almost every single move involves packing. Typically when it comes to packing, many customers assume it’s something that they have to take care of on their own and then hire a moving company only for the actual relocation. Well, this concept is long gone. As a highly competitive and popular moving company in Boston, one of our core values is safety of your belongings and your time. For that reason, we included packing to our list of offered services.
We can pack your kitchen, bedroom or entire home
- Kitchen which includes glassware, plates, cutlery, utensils, knife blocks, baking trays, pots, pans, chopping boards, cleaning products and appliances such as toasters, kettles, mixers and blenders
- Living Room which includes TV, sound system, books, pot plants, lamps, heaters, decor, pillows, artwork and curtains

FAQ
Here you will find the most common questions answered by the Better Life Moving Team.
What is Travel Time for Movers?
Travel time is the time for our team of movers to get to your first address from our warehouse plus the time to come back from your second address. It is calculated based on the hourly rate. We do not add traffic into the calculation as we understand that some areas of Boston can get extremely busy during a certain hour and we do not want you to be paying over for that. Our CRM uses a GPS in order to determine the travel time. Travel time is added to the amount of hours spent on your project itself (loading, unloading, and in between the addresses).
Travel time is individual for each client and will be based on the distance between their addresses and our warehouse plus the hourly rate they are getting.
What is included in the hourly rate?
The hourly rate includes all the protective materials for your belongings to eliminate damage, such as shrinks, wraps, blankets, tapes as well as all the expenses related to the truck, such as gas, mileage, tolls.
What is not included in the hourly rate?
Packing supplies are not included in the hourly rate and will be charged per item based on the amount being used.
Do you charge extra for the stairs?
No, our company does not charge extra for the stairs. The Better Life Moving Manager is going to get all your information regarding the stairs and the amount of items you have in order to determine how many movers will be needed so you do not have to worry about extra fees associated with your stairs. We also make sure that the team is equipped with all the necessary tools and equipment for your items so no damage will occur.
