Additional Information: The above needs to be packed and moved about 3 blocks. There is a second site a mile away with already packed boxes which will need to be moved to the same destination. There are about 20 boxes at this site to be moved. The storage site is a ground level garage, the condo is a 5 story walk up (sorry). The destination for both of these is an elevator building with a large freight elevator. Report a Violation

Questions for this shipment: 

Question: Either way, you end up with all the responsibility and worry. THAT is what you pay for most in a reputable moving company, some one who takes the risk and responsibility of your move, in return for a fair price for hard work and expertise. (7/9/2006)
Question: Is there any flexibility in your date? If you can put this off until Aug 7, I can meet your price of $1000.00, includes truck, fuel pads labor, ins, etc etc. Is that date a possibility? Thx, ctscbob/Washburn Moving (7/9/2006)
Response: Unfortunately, Aug 7 is a little too late for us. Thanks anyway. (7/9/2006)
Question: Hi, We can do for your listed price of $1000....we are a full-service moving company and will give you 3 movers and a packer, a 24foot truck, pads, blankets, straps, dollies, and boxes. We will pack and move you same-day. July 27-Aug 2nd timeframe works. We are a well-established mover in Boston. Thank you, Keith Keith's Moving (7/9/2006)
Response: Hi Keith, We work in the afternoons on the 27th and 28th of July. Could you pack us up the day before (either the 26 or 27) and move us the following morning? Alternatively, we are free all day on the 29th if you want to do it all in 1 day. Also, please be aware that the condo has many smaller items that the uship web site did not allow us to specify (books, clothes, all kitchen goods, suitcases, VCR/DVD player, etc.) Finally, can you obtain the necessary parking permits the city of Boston requires? Thank you. (7/9/2006)
Question: Hello, We can pack you up on the 26th and move you on the morning of the 28th. We can pack all the smaller items..no worries there.... We can send you a company letterhead which you present to the city of Boston to get the parking permits. We are not bonded with the city of Boston Thanks Keithsmove (7/11/2006)
Question: A few questions, is there easy access at both locations for my 24 ft hauler and pickup truck, I need ample space for pickup and delivery? Are the items listed the only items being shipped? Craig (7/11/2006)
Response: Actually, now that I think about it, I have no idea how big a 24 ft hauler is or if it will fit in the alley. The alley is a "normal" sized alley behind a corner building so I guess even if the hauler didn't fit back there, it wouldn't be too difficult to dolly/carry the boxes around the corner to the hauler.
