Delivery Timing
Depending on where you are in Washington, DC, the drive is typically 7–9 hours. Smaller moves may deliver same day when timing allows. Larger loads usually deliver next morning so we can load safely and arrive ready to unload in Boston.
How the move works
- Confirm access and building rules (stairs, elevators, parking, COI requirements).
- Protect floors, walls, and furniture; load efficiently for safe transit.
- Drive the corridor and keep you updated on ETA.
- Unload, place items where you want them, and confirm completion.
Pricing That’s Easy to Understand
We price interstate moves like a local job: hourly labor for the time we’re actually working, plus travel time. Your shipment stays on one truck with one crew, so you avoid transfer delays and re‑delivery charges. We also keep add‑ons simple—no separate stairs, elevator, or long‑carry fees.
We pick up throughout Washington, DC—Northwest DC, Capitol Hill, Georgetown, and nearby areas—then deliver across Boston neighborhoods and the surrounding suburbs.

Packing Tips
How to Choose the Right Moving Box Sizes
Selecting the proper box size is essential for safe transport and efficient loading. Using incorrect box sizes can lead to structural failure, overloading, or inefficient stacking inside the truck.
Small Boxes (1.5 cu. ft.) – Heavy Items
Small cartons are ideal for dense items such as books, documents, canned goods, and small tools. Limiting weight per carton improves safety during lifting and prevents box collapse.
Medium Boxes (3.0 cu. ft.) – General Household Items
Medium cartons are commonly used for kitchenware, décor, small appliances, and miscellaneous household goods. They provide balanced capacity without becoming too heavy.
Large Boxes (5–6 cu. ft.) – Lightweight Bulk Items
Large cartons are best suited for bedding, pillows, clothing, and other lightweight but bulky belongings. These cartons should not be overloaded with dense items.
