Pricing choices for Shrewsbury moves
Relocating to or from Shrewsbury means choosing between an hourly local job and a long-distance shipment priced by weight, volume and distance. Local work in Worcester County or nearby uses crew size and trucks to set the hourly rate.
| Local option | Typical time | Price |
|---|---|---|
| 2 movers + truck | hourly | $100 to $200 per hour |
| 1-2 bedroom apartment | 3-5 hours | $400 to $900 |
| 3-4 bedroom home | 6-10 hours (or extra crew) | $1,000 to $2,500+ |
Travel time and extra fees
Crews in Massachusetts typically start billing the moment they leave their base and continue until they return. A company 40 minutes from town therefore adds almost 1.5 hours of travel time. Ask exactly when the clock begins and ends.
A long-carry fee applies if the truck cannot reach the door, a common issue on narrow streets or in apartment complexes. Stairs without elevators often incur extra charges per flight or a flat rate for heavy items. Obtain a binding not-to-exceed estimate after seeing the inventory in person or virtually rather than a telephone approximation.
- Transport cash, jewelry, important papers, medications and hard drives yourself.
- Basic protection covers $0.60 per pound, so a 40-pound $2,000 television pays only $24. Inquire about full value protection.

How this works: IRS SOI County-to-County Migration Data, 2022-2023. The IRS compares the address on consecutive tax returns, so every move here is a real filed household. The catch: it publishes annually with about a two-year lag, counts Worcester County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 20% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
