I could not have asked for a less stressful move, and that means a lot. I moved from Jamaica Plain to Watertown. The movers arrived 20 minutes into the hour long window promised and even apologized for not being earlier (traffic). I wasn't upset in the first place. Next, they made quick work of loading up the truck like a well-oiled machine. I ended up throwing them curveball by asking to to make a stop along the way to pick up some furniture I had purchased, to which they were more than accommodating. We still ended up arriving at new apartment on time, in fact it was a few minutes early. Here's where things could have gotten tricky but didn't. The loading dock was broken and these guys managed the move around it and still got all my belongings moved in with nothing broken and all at the low end of the estimated delivery time. From a cost perspective, they offered among the most competitive pricing and even the driver reminded me to purchase the Yelp deal before we wrapped up so I could save some money. I would not only recommend using them, but I would use them again in a heart beat. read more

I had a great experience with this company. I recently hired them to move some furniture items from Boston to Chicago and their service was great! Everything got here in perfect condition and the guys were really responsible, helpful and friendly! their rates are fair and affordable! read more

A-Plus lives up to its name! This was my first time using a moving service so I went overboard with the research, checked out about 5-6 other moving companies in the Boston/Cambridge area. I liked A-Plus after reading the Yelp reviews, but I REALLY liked them after the super-prompt and courteous customer service on the phone. Even though I booked them on a Monday for a move on Wednesday (yeah, 2 days notice) they were extremely enthusiastic and reassuring that they'd find a way to accommodate me. They also give a 10% discount if you pay with cash. The three movers -- Emmet, and I believe Nikolai and Steven -- were friendly and really quick. From the moment they arrived they were on the job, and cheerful and upbeat the whole time. It was 95 degrees that day and these guys worked hard. They moved my furniture and boxes from my apartment to a storage facility (Cubesmart in Brighton - also recommend) and the whole process was painless. Would highly recommend! read more

Eugene and his crew helped us move out of a 2nd/3rd story 2-bedroom apartment and into a 1st floor in under 5 hours (including all travel times)! They are very reasonably priced, excellent workers, and extremely careful with all your belongings. Eugene (who led the team) was very communicative with taking breaks and what they were doing if we had any questions. I would not hesitate in calling them again for our next move as the move could not have gone more smoothly. Thanks again!! read more

I'd gotten so tired of moving, so a friend of mine mentioned hiring movers and as soon as she said it, I thought, Of course. Pay someone to move my junk. Plus my new place was on the 3rd floor. I couldn't enlist my friends any longer! I'd never used a moving company before so didn't know what to expect. We had to make several stops to pick up my stuff at 3 different locations -- and these guys handled it with no problemo, no attitude, no thumb on the scale. Good spirits, good senses of humor, these guys at A Plus acted as though it was No Big Deal to haul heavy boxes and bulky furniture up flights of stairs that weren't the easiest to maneuver around. I don't know why I didn't use them for previous moves. The whole thing was organized perfectly, saving me time and total hassle. Plus, no scratches, no cracks, no nicks, nothing done to my objects. I own a lot of junk, but I have other stuff that is really valuable and fragile. All of it made it through perfectly. When you sign your lease for your next apartment, spare your friends and yourself and hire the professionals at A Plus Movers. You're welcome. read more

I've used this company twice now and both times found them to be excellent in terms of service and cost. Mike responded quickly to my initial inquiry, provided information on the move and expected cost, then things went as he indicated; no surprises. In our recent move from Newton to the back bay, Elly, Florine and Pete were fantastic. They were carful and super polite. They never raised their voices while struggling with heavy furniture in the difficult environment of a back bay brownstone move. They also didn't say a negative word when I had to tell them that a couple of big furniture items had been placed on the wrong floor and would need to be moved. They did a lot of packing for us as well and I was pleased with the care they took. Elly was a great communicator, always talking to me at the beginning of the day to let me know what was going to happen, and letting me know when the team was going to take a much deserved break. Overall, fantastic. Would definitely use again. read more

I recently moved within the Boston area, and A-Plus did an awesome job. I'd definitely use them again. Scheduling was easy - we spoke on the phone and via email, and they were quick to respond on both. Price was good, about the same as other movers. The day before the move, they called to confirm and to give me a more definite time within the window we'd specified. The day of the move, they were on time (and actually called to ask if they could come early, but I said we weren't ready yet - no problem). From what I remember, my movers' names were Nick, Adonis, and Karolis (sp?). The guys clearly knew what they were doing. They worked quickly, and wrapped all our furniture up nicely. At both the old and new apartments, parking was a little dicey, but they did a good job of finding a spot and were easygoing about the whole thing. At the new place, we had a snafu with the freight elevator (building management told me it would be available, but it wasn't) and I was so impressed with how the guys worked around it to find a solution, and still managed to keep the whole process running on time. The move came in right on budget and on schedule, and my stuff was in good shape. (I think a few plastic bins and suitcases got a little banged up, but my stuff isn't fancy, and I'd rather have speed than the kid glove treatment.) Thanks to A-Plus for making the process as smooth as moving can be! read more

I had provided the following details for my move so aplus can provide the move quote/estimates "2 bedroom move - washing machine and dryer that needs to be moved. 1tv, 1dining table with 6 chairs, 3 beds, 3 mattresses, 2 sofas, 2 side tables, 2 chests, 3 study tables and approx. 40 boxes". They came back with an estimate of 3-4 hours for 3 men and a big truck at 175/hr and $100 extra for washer and dryer. One day before the scheduled move Mike calls me up and says that they can add one more person to make the move faster for an hourly rate of 195 to which I agreed. The actual move was around 40 boxes, 2 beds , 1 mattress, 1 dining table, 2 study tables, 2 chests, 2 sofas, 3 side tables, 1tv (note: less heavy furniture than initially told for quote) and still I ended up paying for 6.5 hrs (note with 4 guys) and $100 for washer dryer and $20 tip for each guy (they refuses to take any less than this and I thought tip was to be given if you are happy with the services provided and that too as you seem fit). So I ended up paying more than double the estimate provided because anyway I paid extra for an extra guy that did not help me bring my move hours down. Absolutely, not recommended and will never avail their services again. read more

I recently used this company for the 3rd time and it was great! The entire move took a little longer than expected, but the team did an excellent job!! read more

I've had to bounce around to a few different apartments over the last couple of years, and honestly it hasn't been stressful at all. Part of that is due to my not having TOOO much stuff, but a lot is thanks to using A-Plus for my last couple of moves. I'm usually a very do-it-yourself person with moves, but their help was absolutely worth it. They were very up front with everything and able to give me an accurate price estimate ahead of time - I've heard horror stories of moving companies dragging things out on moving days and sticking people with way higher costs than planned, so it was a relief to find such an honest and reliable company! The guys who moved my stuff were also really friendly and efficient. Good value, good people - would definitely recommend to anyone planning a move! read more

I had (note the past-tense here...had) a furniture problem. Mine was breaking/broken. My brother (who lives near Boston) had a bunch he wanted to get rid of, and was going to have to pay to get rid of it. When he found out I was in need of a bunch of furniture, we agreed to go 'halvsies' to move them down to Alexandria. Do you know what I like? I like a merchant who takes pride in their services. If I say "hi, I have an unusual request," I want the answer to be "Sure, I can do that!" A-Plus Moving & Storage did that. When we said we wanted a move from Brockton to Alexandria, VA and needed it pronto, there was an availability and we took advantage of it. Comcast plays wildly with arrival times, but A-Plus didn't. They gave me a time frame, and they were 10 minutes late...if you've never tried to navigate Old Town Alexandria, you'd be late, also. They had taken excellent care of the furniture. When I called about the status of the arrival Friday night, A-Plus knew (more or less) where the truck was and reconfirmed the arrival time. The movers we polite and professional. They navigated my apartment with great ease. Added bonus: my brother had given me some records that he wedged between the couch cushions. They were undamaged, which means they didn't mistreat the stuff they had while they had possession. Now I don't know about you guys, but I made sure the movers had plenty of water. I also had a meal ready for them to take back with them - they worked really hard. I hope other people consider utilizing A-Plus in the future. They treated me and my stuff with respect and care. read more

So, for the record...I HATE MOVING. I've moved all around the country for work, and state-to-state moves are always the worst experience for me. I've lost furniture. time, and money dealing with less than reputable moving companies in the past, so you can imagine my reservations when my work prompted a move to and from Boston. I used A-Plus to go back home to Baltimore after a five month stay on a suggestion from a few coworkers. Calling customer service with tons of questions proved surprisingly pleasant, and the quote I was given couldn't be beat. I quickly reserved a move and the guys came out armed with packing supplies, bubble wrap, and everything! I had to make a quick move back to my hometown, and seriously- these guys packed up my stuff in one day, and had it in Baltimore the next! If you're considering a move in and from Boston, call these guys. Like, don't consider anyone else, just call them! read more

Moving into an apartment for school is a stressful experience. Regardless, these movers were very respectful and kind in their service. We had a lot of heavy furniture so multiple trips were needed. Moving out of my old apartment and into the Boston area brought about a great deal of mental and physical exhaustion so we decided to hire some movers. After finding A-plus Moving and Storage in the local classifieds, I thought I should give them a shot since their website is easy to navagate and gives a quote for your move. Let me tell you that it has been the best moving experience I've had to date. The two gentlemen who helped me move into my new space were gentle with my belongings (helping to pack away my kitchen ware and other breakables) and even helped my set up one of my couches. They were also one time and personable. They defiantly helped to ease the burden of moving and I appreciated their professional manner. read more

I picked A-Plus because of their Yelp reviews and now that i've used them I'm back to add to their 5-star ratings. For our 2 bedroom apartment they sent 3 guys and a 27 foot truck. The guys were friendly and efficient-- two of them moved things out of our FOURTH floor walk-up while one stayed and played furniture Jenga with the truck. They arrived around 930am and were packed and ready to head to our new place by 1045am. We were moving into a 2nd floor apartment with a turn in the staircase but they still made quick work of things and were done by 1230. The only minor negative aspect was that we were told they'd arrive between 8am and 9am. I gave them a call at 9:10 and left a message, but was quickly called back by two separate people who both apologized and let me know they'd hit a little bit of traffic and would be there in 10 minutes (and they were). Traffic happens, so I'm not going to ding them for it. A-Plus was affordable, friendly, and efficient. I will definitely be using them again in the future. read more

I would recommend A-Plus Movers to anyone planning on moving. My guys were Denis, Daniel, and Brandon, and they were really nice from the get go, all introduced themselves, and then proceeded to do what was probably one of the worst moves ever - I moved from a 3rd floor in the North End to another 3rd floor in the North End with uneven steep awful stairs on a day it was 95 degrees out. They worked SO hard to get my box spring up the stairs even though it absolutely did not fit (I approved them breaking a small bit to get it up and miraculously, they succeeded). I was beyond grateful for all their hard work, and the price was incredibly fair. It was some of the best money I've ever spent! read more

They just helped me move from a 4th floor walk up apartment in Beacon Hill. The three men were all very hard workers, polite, and efficient. They did a great job and at a bargain rate compared to all the other places I called. After the move I noticed a number of small nicks on various furniture - some of which may have been there before but some that I know were from the move - That's the main reason I'm not giving them a 5 review. But they are a bargain so I would recommend them as a great value for overall good service! read more

I moved again and called A Plus to help out. Once again they did an amazing job. They showed up on time, wrapped the furniture very carefully to not scratch it and placed it where I indicated in the new house. I am more than happy with the service and the amount of time it took them to get it done. I was so happy with guys!! read more

After calling around to various moving companies, I decided to go with A-Plus because they seemed to have the best rate. On my moving day, the supervisor, Charlie, called me to let me know they would be arriving earlier than scheduled. He was willing to accomodate me and come at the regularly scheduled time. The truck arrived right on the dot and the three guys quickly began working. They did a great job breaking everything down and wrapping it up well. I moved into a four-floor walk-up in the city. This was no problem for them, even with the heaviest items. The three guys went up and down the stairs like it was nothing. They had everything in my apartment and unwrapped within an hour. I will definitely be calling them for my next move! I would definitely recommend A-Plus Moving! read more

A+ Moving gets an A+++ from me. My mother was moving from my childhood three bedroom home in Cambridge to Peabody and hired A+ Movers to move the house she has lived in for 43 years!!! Having had some bad experiences with movers in the past myself I was skeptical and tried to talk her into allowing my friends and I to move the house but she insisted to hire movers and A+ handled her furniture and keepsakes just I would have, like they were their own. From the pricing walk-through to the final boxes coming in the door, the crew was courteous and professional. Watching those guys handle the sectional couch, gigantic cedar armoire, and the basement freezer my mother kept were nothing short of artwork! I would absolutely hire A+ again for any move. I guess mother knows best! read more

Make sure they do not send interns without a professional manager. I was sorry for the foreign students, and they took way much longer than expected. (I had to pay more for additional hours) Some who gave five stars may get the professional movers. Again, make sure they do not send all foreign students/interns to your case. read more

A-Plus Moving & Storage - Aplus took 9 hours by hiring unprofessional foreign students. Make sure it is not your case. - Movers Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

I thought they were great. They called the day before to confirm the time. They showed up on schedule. The crew was personable and respectful. This is the second time I had to move this year. The last company was good too but I did the have an opportunity to shop around and they were pretty expensive. Based on the reviews and my initial contact with the company I felt they were the right choice. Never mind that they were less than half the price even on a holiday. I cannot say enough about the team that did my move- really. We moved into a home from the early 1900s and the configuration was less than desirable. They managed to get more items than expected up to our unit. The 9ft couch didn't make it but we were embarrassed by how many times they tried. Really, great service, great care for our items. Great experience read more

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY! They showed up without any identification, appearing high and only one of three guys actually worked for the company. Mike Aileni attempted to lie and say the three men were workers however was unable to produce any verification. The workers took off with the truck before we could get ahold of the moving consultant again. He then began ignoring all of our calls requiring us to use multiple phones. We now have no movers and he has gone radio silent. DO NOT TRUST THIS HOAX OF A COMPANY!!! read more

I had a great experience with A+ movers today. They were on time and worked very efficiently. Very professional and personable. Price for a last min Fri move was beyond reasonable. Extremely happy! read more

They are pretty good. money-wise, prices are reasonable and they have a deal going on so ++ movers were friendly and that is important especially on moving day. Most importantly, they are located with the Boston area. That's cool. read more

On-time, worked fast, pleasant staff. The guys who came did whatever I needed. I was a bit frazzled and they helped by just taking over and doing what was needed. Move went faster than I expected. I would highly recommend! read more

I moved on May 26 and this was the first time I had ever done a major state to state move. From start to end they were amazing. Response time was always fast when I had questions and they put up with my slight paranoia. On moving day, again no problems the movers were incredibly nice, respectful and super fast. When I started unpacking I was thrilled to discover nothing had been broken Finally, they gave me an incredible price for my move as well. If I ever had to move back to Boston or within MA, I would never use another moving company. A Plus was the least stressful thing in a very stressful process for me. read more

Great moving company! Very reasonable rates! I was moving within the Boston area and called to get quote from several moving companies. A-Plus offered the best quote per hour. The movers were very efficient and professional. I am planning to hire them again for my next moving and highly recommend to anyone who is looking for help with moving in Boston. read more

My wife found this place recommended on a few sites including the Better Business Bureau, where they have a lot of glowing reviews. We were moving to NY and all the long-distance movers were giving us quotes around $2500 for our 2BR apartment. A-Plus quoted us $110/hour for two guys as long as it takes (mechanical failure aside), and estimated 12-14 hours, which I guess was 1.5-2 hours on each end plus 4.5-5 hours each way in transit. Apparently this is what it usually takes them for a 2BR, and they weren't concerned when I said we had a 1200sf place and a lot of books. We figured this was a great deal even if they were way off in their estimate. Well, they were... WAAAYYY off. The two guys who showed up to move our stuff were friendly, energetic, and kept up their hustle, but there was just too much stuff for two guys to load quickly. It took them almost 5 hours. The senior guy told me it takes at least 5 hours to drive a truck to NY, and of course they hit some traffic coming into the city at 6pm. Also I had to sweet-talk our super to let us even move into the building after 5pm. And then I had to apologize to him several times as the movers took the same amount of time to unload, which meant they were still rolling and banging stuff around late into the evening on a weeknight. In the end, it was a new record for this crew's longest moving day ever. Now, the good part is that these two guys rocked. They stayed nice, and kept moving as fast as they could, after a grueling work day I can barely imagine. And after all that, the bill was STILL LOWER than what the long-distance moving companies quoted (and I now suspect they would've revised their price upward when they saw all our boxes)! But come on. Estimate off by a factor of two?? I told him the square footage and that we had a lot of books. And by the way, the truck they brought almost wasn't big enough. So basically, if you have a lot of stuff, make sure the estimator really gets the picture. Or better yet, have them do a walkthrough. So 5 stars for the moving guys, 1 star for the estimator. read more

I've got to say that you'll have to save yourself the agony and call someone else. We used A plus for a local move in Boston a while back and it was very disappointing. The sales guy is trying hard and he can be convincing but the result, the move itself was terrible. He quoted one price and it cost an arm and a leg down the line since it took way longer than estimated. It's very funny how the responses you will get from the sales rep are evasive when you would like to know if there will be additional charges outside the quote. The movers arrived late which was a major issue due to the elevator we had reserved for just a couple of hours. To top it off the movers were very rude the entire time and inconsiderate with our stuff. Our entertainment center didn't make it in one piece to the new place and neither did two dining room chairs which arrived broken and pieces fallen apart. Now our dining room set is incomplete due to their negligence and incompetency. We had other pieces of furniture that got scuffed up and damaged since pretty much nothing was wrapped. They also left a ton of trash and dirt behind and my deposit was reduced for cleaning fees based on that. Not only that but when I called the office to discuss the issue we had (I had to speak with two guys) they were giving me the run around telling me that my stuff was loose and previously damaged. well, you know what, your guys broke it and made it worse. We've gotten a lot of headache and the worst is that we paid for apparently a good service that we never received. read more

Some people left good reviews, but I would not risk using them if I were you. After experiencing great customer service on the phone from the owner Mike, I had high expectations from this co., but they all came crashing down, and in some ways literally, during my move this summer. I also had similar problems that Renee J. had with the foreman who was rude, defensive, and often berated and argued with the other 2 guys. My first exchange with him, when I pointed out where some fragile boxes were was, very rudely, "yeah, yeah, we're professionals." Well, it became apparent that they were not, and he very badly lacked professionalism to the degree that the building supervisor at the new place I was moving into complained to me about his rudeness, and told me to beware, because he saw them shoving furniture into the elevator haphazardly with no padding. How embarrassed I was about upsetting the staff there on my first day. Like Renee J. we also head a lot about the foreman's thoughts and life including a troubled past with references to criminal elements. There were also many discrepancies between what Mike said would be done, and the service the foreman and crew delivered. Mike stated that all furnishings would be wrapped or padded, and most of it was not, resulting in so many pieces of furniture unnecessarily being damaged (severe nicks & gouges, broken glass), and, also like with Renee J., the foreman took apart some pieces, and didn't put them back correctly, which we realized some time after they left. With one, we realized a key piece was missing, and then had to purchase a replacement in order for it to work. The foreman even scoffed when I told him what Mike said about how the furniture would be handled then proceeded to very unprofessionally tell me how he was out of touch with what actually goes on with the moving. In addition to all of this, and I could go on, the job took almost twice the time of the estimate for a 1BDR apt. move, and was therefore much more expensive. I agree with what Boston B. says: '' If you have anything you care about, try a different furniture mover. " read more

Do not use this moving company! I thought they were great during the initial quote stage, but starting with them showing up 30 minutes late on the day of the move, everything went downhill from there. The movers were extremely careless with my items and one actually laughed when several boxes fell off of the cart he was using. The fact that more things weren't broken is due solely to how well I packed things, not their standard of care. They reduced my bill for two broken furniture pieces, but I didn't notice one broken item until after they left. A small filing cabinet was clearly dropped and the drawer will no longer open, so it's worthless. I called the company about the issue that afternoon and never heard back. Clearly they offer the 5% discount if you pay in cash so that you have no recourse if there is an issue. I was extremely disappointed!! Update: The company contacted me after reading my review and compensated me for the broken item. They also plan to discuss the issue with their employees. I wish it could have been resolved when I first contacted them, but I appreciate their diligence today - a second person from the company called later today to make sure I was satisfied with the solution. read more

Oh well- I submitted a quote request on their website link and never heard from them. I emailed and they never got the quote request so be aware of this. In any case they couldn't do a move for me at and of next month from Boston to Providence. read more

My review comes a bit late but as they say it's never too late. My partner and I used A- Plus Moving & Storage last year for a local move. I remember spending almost 1 hour on the phone with a sales guy asking me so many questions and got to the point it become annoying. My partner however convinced me to go with these guys because of the price. They have very low rates but it's not questionable anymore considering the services received during the move. You get what you pay. First of all they were about one hour and a half late. When they arrived they seemed tired or bored already and the foreman was all attitude " OHH! so many boxes" Are you serious? But what would you expect?! We've used other moving companies before, never have I experienced such poor service, delivery, customer service and absolute disregard for our belongings. During the move, I went down to the truck to check on them and I found one of the guys (the latino) watching a movie on a tablet. The other 2 guys were moving at glacier place to milk the time not to mention that one of them took 35 minutes break (that I had to pay for) so he can charge his ankle bracelet. We didn't feel safe anymore. They took our mattress and box spring and they were and told me that they don't have covers with them. As a result, both got dirt and staines. Same thing happened with our couch that was not wrapped either. They also broke 2 antique tables and left some stuff behind at the old place. After the move I couldn't find 2 of my boxes with personal stuff. The move itself took twice the estimated time so the sales guy just wasted one hour of my life for nothing. After the move I called the office to report the attitude, the damage they did and the missing boxes but nobody return my call. The mental torture you have to go during a move and with suck a horrible experience from start to finish. I would never recommend them to anyone!!! Very unreliable and very unprofessional !!! read more

This is the second time that I have used A-Plus. I came back because of the excellent service the first time. We recently moved into a 3rd floor apartment with tight, winding stairs, and despite the horrific rain and weather, John, Igor, and Dan were extremely courteous and efficient. They were able to move us up and in with some extremely large, difficult pieces including my great grandmother's antique secretary. They wrapped all of our furniture with care and everything came in without a scratch. Thank you A-Plus Moving for all of your help! I would definitely recommend them to all of my friends and family in the area! I know I will use them again in the future. read more

Quick, eager to move fast and wasting no time but always making sure the boxes were handled with care, we highly recommend this company. We picked A-Plus for their rate (they were among the cheapest), and we will hire them again for their high quality work. We moved from a 2-bedroom apartment on the 5th floor to a 3-bedroom apartment on the 4th and 5th floor without elevator, and the team of movers was simply outstanding. They were quick and efficient, and never complained about the heavy boxes nor the stairs. We were a bit worried before moving that the movers would not be able nor willing to carry so many boxes up to the top floors, but they did it efficiently and without complaining - always smiling and willing to accommodate us. They were also very professional: they made sure each labeled box was assigned to the right room (we had numbered the boxes by room). They took care of the fragile items such as TV screens, computers, etc, very well. We recommend! read more

I have never written a review before, but these guys were so good that I just have to. They showed up 5 minutes early and were extremely quick, efficient, and professional during the entire move. It actually took a little less time than they had estimated and way less time that our previous move when we had used a different moving company. I have recommended A Plus Moving to several friends who have all had great experiences as well. I will use these guys for my next move without a doubt. read more

We just used A-Plus to move from Brookline to Cambridge. The two movers were exceptionally professional, and pretty funny too. The move took exactly 3 hours, as was predicted. Great job! read more

We had a fantastic experience with A-Plus in early October when moving from Boston to Salem, MA. The guys were on time, professional, and worked really hard. Eugene, Danny & Alex were great. read more

These guys achieved the impossible. I had a one bedroom and moved into a U Haul pod. At first glance it seemed like I was going to have to get two Pods but a little teamwork we got everything to fit. They were fast and careful. I am so glad they were there to help me with the 1st leg of my move plus they were super affordable. Can't go wrong with hiring this crew! read more
