Which Service Do You Need?

When planning a move, one of the first decisions you’ll face is whether you need local movers or long-distance movers. Understanding the differences between these services can help you choose the best option for your relocation needs.

What Are Local Movers?

Local movers specialize in moves within a specific geographic area, typically within the same city or a radius of 50-100 miles. Their services often include:

  • Residential Moving: Helping you move from one home to another within the same locality.
  • Commercial Moving: Assisting businesses with office relocations nearby.
  • Packing and Unpacking: Offering packing services to ensure your belongings are secure during transit.
  • Furniture Assembly/Disassembly: Handling the logistics of assembling or disassembling your furniture as needed.

What Are Long-Distance Movers?

Long-distance movers handle relocations that exceed the local radius, typically over 100 miles or even across state lines. Their services usually include:

    • Comprehensive Moving Plans: Creating detailed moving plans tailored to your specific needs.
    • Storage Solutions: Offering storage options for your belongings if there’s a gap between your move-out and move-in dates.
    • Nationwide Coverage: Providing services that can handle moves to any location within the country.

FAQs

Q How much does it cost a local moving service?

It is not going to be expensive for you as long as you do not relocate far away. Besides, we do our best to make the cost of all additional services as affordable as you can imagine.

Q What size truck do i need for my local moving in Boston?

We select the best size you need for your relocation. After we carefully inspect the scale of moving, you will be informed about all the details immediately. Call us today and make a request.

Q How many movers do i need for my move in Boston?

We will be ready to tell you this after we study your request carefully. Everything depends on how complex the moving will be, the amount of stuff, etc. At the same time, the cost will surely be affordable for you.

Q Are your local moving quotes binding?

They are not. Every client receives an estimate but the final cost and time may be a bit different. Therefore, we do not make you sign it. With us, your experience will be very convenient.

Q Why choose Flashmoving over other Boston Local Movers?

Your moving will be extremely pleasant and quick with us. Our team is going to take proper care of your belongings and react to any changes pretty much instantly. Enjoy!

Q What types of customers have you worked with?

We work with every type! From your everyday person and his family to military personnel, government officials, corporations and businesses. As always we will honor any and all clients anonymity at their discretion.

Q Are you licensed and insured?

Yes, we are fully licensed with the Massachusetts Department of Public Utilities and we carry Cargo, Motor Vehicle, and General Liability Insurance.

Q How would I know if a moving company is legitimate?

According to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), a growing number of complaints have been filed against movers lately – many of which are due to the “fraudulent practices… of rogue movers.” Minimize the risk of moving-day delays, damages, inflated charges, or loss of possessions by hiring legal, certified movers.

Q If your Employees are injured while working in my home, am I responsible for their medical bills?

No. Our company carries workers compensation as required by law, and we are totally responsible for any work-related injuries to our moving team during the performance of their duties. We do not use day labor or casual workers.

Q What do I need to do to prepare my appliances for the move?

The moving crew will wrap these items in moving blankets to protect them on the truck. However, you should make certain that your dishwasher, microwave, and washing machine are empty. Additionally, movers are not electricians or plumbers – you need to arrange for the appropriate professional to disconnect your washer, chandeliers, and refrigerator from any electric and/or water connection. Most importantly, movers are not licensed to disconnect gas.

Q Can the crew members arrange the furniture to my liking in my new home?

Absolutely. Just instruct the crew members on where you want the specifics placed and we can help. Having a plan in mind before arriving at your new home can save time and money.

Q Do I need to empty my dresser drawers?

Please empty all dresser drawers, file cabinets and desk drawers. Remember that your furniture will have to be lifted and carried, so if it’s overstuffed and extra heavy it will be more difficult to handle. If the furniture has to be navigated through challenging obstacles, like a winding staircase, it’s usually best to remove everything, even the drawers, as it may be necessary to flip the furniture on its side or upside-down to get it through.

Q How do I change my address?

You can change your address with the US Post Office online. *Visit the website usps.com/move. *Follow the steps to fill out your change of address information with the post office.​

Q What are the accepted payment methods?

*We accept all major credit cards, debit cards, and cash as forms of payment. *All balances are expected to be paid in-full at the time of service when the job is complete, excluding any deposits paid in advance *Please Note: Balances paid with either credit or debit cards will incur a 3% transaction fee.

Q Do I still need an estimate?

Every job is different and may require additional or alternative manpower, trucks, equipment, or services. We will be able to give you a more customized recommendation during your personal quote!

Q Do you also give quotes for long-distance moves?

Long-distance and nationwide cross-country moves are quoted on a case-by-case basis in a single all-inclusive flat rate price.

Q Do you have hidden fees or charges?

We pride ourselves on having no hidden fees and being all-inclusive, BUT we DO charge a one-time trip fee for every service. This is standard for the moving industry. However, ours is typically equal to just one additional hour of labor. It may be adjusted on a case-by-case basis, either less or more, depending on the service being requested and the customer/job location.

Q Do you require deposits?

Yes we do require a $100 deposit to secure your scheduled day/time and that it is completely deducted from your total. If you cancel your move with less than 7 business days notice, the deposit is forfeited. If you need to just reschedule, your deposit will follow you to the new date, we just ask for as much notice as possible so we may fill in that slot with another customer.

Q What if I discover damaged or missing items?

Our team has been trained to work with utmost care and integrity, and we sure hope that will not be the case. However, if you do discover anything missing or damaged, please contact us as soon as possible. We strongly suggest you inspect all your items and furniture the day of the move.

Q Do I have to pay extra for a moving truck?

No, a moving truck is included in the flat hourly rate. There is not an additional fee for one of our 20 or 26 ft moving truck.

Q How is the cost of my move calculated?

We have a standard hourly rate system based on number of movers requested (2 or 3) as well as day of the week requested (weekdays vs weekends) Plus a one-time destination/arrival fee that covers travel time to your residence, tolls, gas and travel time back to our warehouse. The hourly rate starts when the movers arrive at your place and it stops when the move is completed. And also we do charge for wrapping/packing materials based on actual usage. But you are welcome to buy your own and our team will use it.

Q How far in advance should I schedule my move?

The earlier the better! 2-4 weeks is what we usually prefer, but if you plan on moving during our peak times which is summer, end of the month or a weekend, please call us 4-6 weeks before your planned date.

Q What should I keep with me on my moving day?

Keep with you anything you or your family will use on the day of your move with you. Common items include snacks, toilet paper, paper towel, phone chargers, a change of clothes, toothbrush/toothpaste, and your kids’ favorite toys. Additionally, medications, important paperwork (e.g., birth certificates and social security cards), and anything highly valuable or sentimental (jewelry, credit cards, bank account information, etc.) should be set aside. On your moving day, place these essential items in a box or bag that you’ll carry with you to your new home.

Q Can my belongings be temporarily stored at your location?

Yes, we do offer storage services, please give us a call for more info.
