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

Premium packing material to protect your items

We use only premium packing material to protect your valuable items. Our wrapping paper, boxes, plastic bins and wrapping cloths are not spared when we are packing your belongings to make sure they arrive safely into your new home. We use boxes designed specially for each household item. We arrive with all the materials we’ll need to expertly protect, buffer, package, label and secure your items to be loaded onto one of our clean, safe trucks when the big day arrives.

 

Secure and professional packing standards

Being comfortable with the movers handling your valuables comes down to ensuring you partner with experienced, compliance ready and appropriately insured professionals.

We don’t use contractors at Better Life Moving. Our movers are background checked and employed against our high standards, ensuring complete accountability. Our movers are also trained by us, and supported with sound planning and moving processes so they can deliver on our high standards and expectations. Add to that a culture grounded in care and respect, that gives back to our communities and you’ll see the Better Life Moving difference in your next move.

FAQ

Here you will find the most common questions answered by the Better Life Moving Team.

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. 

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.

Packing supplies are not included in the hourly rate and will be charged per item based on the amount being used.

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.
