Movers in Boston, MA

VIP Movers is a licensed moving company based at 31 Pearson Rd, Somerville, MA 02144. Boston, Massachusetts is the city this page is written for: pickups, deliveries, and the mix of apartments, houses, and workplaces that Boston customers actually book. We are not a Boston storefront; we dispatch from Somerville, which sits next to Boston, so a Boston job is a regular local-move corridor rather than a city we only mention in the company name.

If you are searching for movers in Boston, MA, use this page for Boston-specific booking context. Pricing, reviews, and the Get a Quote form live on the homepage. USDOT 3836604 and MC 1393688 are the authority numbers we already publish there.

Local introduction

Boston moves are often short on miles and heavy on access. You may only be crossing a handful of ZIP codes, but stairs, elevator reservations, and limited curb space still decide crew size. We run those jobs as local movers when both addresses fit the short-distance definition on our FAQ (not more than 100 miles from point A to point B). Travel time still counts toward the 3-hour minimum listed with our hourly rates.

Tell us the floor, whether there is an elevator, and any loading hours your building gave you. Those facts change the day more than the map distance does. We will not invent neighborhood stories or building names here. We will ask for the rules you were actually given.

Residential moving in Boston

Residential work in Boston is frequently apartments, including walk-ups, but we also move houses. Book through the same size menu on the quote form used on the homepage: rooms, studios, and bedroom counts for apartments and houses. Furniture disassembly and reassembly are part of the hourly crews described on our price list. Empty drawers before the crew arrives.

If you are moving within Boston, or between Boston and a nearby city such as Somerville or Cambridge, stay on local moving unless the ZIP codes put you on a longer haul.

Commercial moving

Boston workplaces use the same commercial process as our other cities: inventory, access window, and a labeled unload. We move office furniture and equipment; your IT vendor should handle data and wiring. After-hours windows are possible when your building allows them and when we can staff the date. See commercial movers for sequencing and downtime notes.

Packing and storage

Lease dates in Boston often fail to line up. Packing services cover full or partial packing, including fragile items, when you add packing to the job. Storage covers a gap between homes. We do not list a Boston warehouse address on this site; storage is arranged when we quote, using the same description already on our homepage (short- and long-term storage as a listed service).

Local moving and long-distance moving

A Boston-to-Boston or Boston-to-Somerville job is typically local moving. Leaving the region is long-distance moving. Interstate work uses the same USDOT and MC numbers published on our site. We confirm the category from your ZIP codes on the form, not from a published route list.

Moving considerations

Peak weekends, end-of-month days, and summer months (May–September) are the busy periods already noted on our price list. Starting hourly rates on the homepage are $129/hr (2 movers + truck), $179/hr (3 movers + truck), and $219/hr (4 movers + truck), with additional movers at $39/hr and an additional truck at $49/hr. Those are starting rates, not a guaranteed final bill.
