Carmel Movers did a GREAT job for us. Two groups need to be recognized. Ivan provided outstanding customer support arranging all the logistics of our move from MA to CA, in an extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful way. Secondly, the PACKERS, Kevin, Antonio, and Argelis, were extremely knowlegeable, fast, friendly, and most importantly, really cared about doing the job right, which they definitely did. I would highly recommend working with Ivan, Kevin, Antonio, and Argelis at Carmel Movers. read more

We had the best move EVER only because of the support of Carmel Movers. The team we had to service us was the BEST. They were attentive, patient and professional. My husband and I would recommend them 100% and would use them again. Thank you, Vivo, Ivan, Ricardo and all we got to know at Carmel Movers! read more

Thank you for all your help with my move across the state. It started with a friend's recommendation. I found their contact info and filled out the short online form. I got a call from Ivan-- I know the phone can be scary for millennials/gen Z, but I swear he was easy to talk to and much more knowledgeable than any app. He got all the logistics down so that he could get the right team, the right truck, and a very accurate quote. He told me the truck has a secure space for art and mirrors, which saved me some prep time. The quote was similar to other places, but I chose Carmel because it was clear that they had a lot of experience. The 3-person team arrived a few minutes early and was ready to go. The truck was larger than I expected and turned out to be exactly the right size. I knew I would need help packing and they worked together to get it done. They asked questions as needed without making me feel overwhelmed. We got to my new address at the same time. They put all of my furniture where I wanted it. For this move, I did not request unpacking help because I wanted to take my time setting up the new place, so I set up designated areas for kitchen, bath, etc, and they made sure each box got to the right spot. Carmel Movers are an excellent value for a wide variety of moving needs. I'm glad I chose them. read more

Carmel Movers - Moving truck - Movers Near Me - Hyde Park, Massachusetts

Carmel Movers did an OUTSTANDING job on our two moves over the past 18 months. Ivan and his team provided us superb service each time, start to finish. We highly recommend Carmel without reservation.  Moving is so stressful, and on both moves, we contacted Ivan frequently with questions as things shifted over the course of the move planning. Ivan welcomed our calls/emails and gave us great suggestions about how to structure the moves to keep costs as low as possible. Throughout the planning process, Ivan always went above and beyond to accommodate our changing needs.  On moving day for both moves, the movers arrived a half hour ahead of schedule and got to work immediately. They worked efficiently, packed everything beautifully, and stayed in great communication with us throughout the process. On the delivery end, they unpacked quickly, neatly and were pleasant the entire time. The second move was also a bit complicated  with multiple delivery points, and everything arrived to its proper destination, no problem.  Carmel Movers are total pros, and we really felt taken care of, from move planning through delivery. So happy Carmel moved us... twice! read more

I asked them questions online, without my permission they cold call me on phone. When I don't have time. Then they waste 20 mins of my time on phone. Why the jerk of owner calls back 5 mins later to say they don't have time on date of move. These guys are the worst. They don't respect boundaries. And even after you tell them the date. They become brain dead. Avoid this company at all costs, or you'll be sorry. read more

Worst experience ever. The pictures show it all. I am still trying to sort out the mess! Two years later. And unfortunately I gave them a big tip before I saw the mess. read more

This was my first move with Carmel Movers and I will never use them again nor recommend them to others. I engaged them for an in-state move at the recommendation of my neighbor. I paid them to pack my dining room and kitchen as well as move furniture and boxes I packed myself. I paid in full before the move and tipped the team well. I found it odd that they did not inventory the boxes as other movers do. They loaded most of my things on the truck the first day, finished loading and delivered on day two. It took me ten days to unpack everything. I then notified them of a missing box with my silver and a few other items from the dining room. They said they would investigate. They never followed-up. I reached out repeatedly via email with no response. When I communicated that I was going to write this review, they put me in touch with their insurance company which told me their policy does not cover damaged or lost items. Unbelievable! I have worked with 4 other movers in the past 10 years where lost boxes were compensated and a damaged table was repaired. It is six months past the move and no further response has been made. Buyer beware! If you choose to work with them, get the terms of loss and damage in writing up front, or better yet, choose another mover! read more

Moving is no one's favorite experience, but Carmel Movers did a fantastic job and made it as enjoyable as possible. I started with a call to Ivan where he inventoried our current house and made sure that the truck would accommodate our move. Ivan was great at explaining the process, what was included, and gave us a quote. I got quotes from three companies and all were about the same. I went with Carmel because of good reviews online and how comfortable Ivan made me feel during our chat. Our three man crew arrived 30 minutes ahead of schedule and quickly got started. They made quick work of move out/loading all while making sure that our furniture was safe and secure. They also bring you a bunch of wardrobe boxes (included in the move) which makes moving your closets easy. The guys were kind and hard workers. Move in was just as easy. The best part was how attentive they were to where pieces were located in the old house- it was an easy unload because they remembered where all of the furniture had been. They also made sure to be careful of the walls and floors during move in. The move took less time than expected and the final cost was under what we were quoted. Pro tip- if you pay with cash/check, you save the credit card fee (I think it was ~2-3%). While I don't want to move again for a long time, I would use Carmel for our next move in a heartbeat! read more

We used Carmel for a recent move out of state. Our moving team was amazing and everything went smoothly. They were professional, fast and careful with our belongings. They wrapped all of our furniture for us and moved it without any damage. I highly recommend using this company for your move! read more

Carmel Movers did a great job! They showed up on time, were very efficient & professional and got the move done within 3 hours which was our hope. Awesome quality for a reasonable price! Will use them again in the future. read more

This is a story of how NOT to treat a customer that has given you their business four times. This move was from the storage unit Carmel moved us into three months ago into our new home. I made an error reading the date on the contract and the move in date was two weeks later than I planned. I did not realize this until the day before what I thought was the move date. Ivan informed me he could accommodate the move for the next day and not in two weeks that was booked. I was delighted and thankful...and then furious. Ivan then told me the hourly rate would be an additional $25 per hour. He knew he had me, I knew he had me, and I agreed. There was already a $100 per hour price increase compared to the prior contract from three months ago. Ivan explained this was because it is the busy season / supply and demand. This move was on a weekday not over the weekend. Ivan ceased the opportunity to take advantage of our situation. The move price increased by $1300 in three months!!! To add insult to injury this was the fourth move he did for us, and certainly the last! read more

We went with Carmel Movers after doing extensive research and we are so glad we did. Initial and subsequent calls with Ivan discussing the move is what sold us and from there it just kept getting better! We spoke with and obtained quotes from 5 other companies, Carmel was very reasonable, explained the process and fees in detail and ended up coming in several hundred dollars under the initial quote. Hector and his team did an outstanding job, meeting our every request, not the simplest move as belongings going into an apt and two storage units. Hard workers, extremely polite, we could not have been more pleased. Will hire again!!! read more

They lost a box of mine and several pieces of my items. The worst was they BROKE my furniture!!! I had them pack my home up and unpack. It was during the process I saw the major damage of my bedroom set that had a hole/crack in it. They also took the paint off of a set of drawers I had on the bottom which was black. I contacted them a few times and had someone who worked with them in the past. I still have not gotten any word back and it's been two months! As for a competitive Industry there customer service and and Management need to be responsible to take action with customer concerns! They were on time which is why I gave them two stars. read more

Carmel Movers did an incredible job with our move - they were extremely courteous, showed up ahead of time (which worked perfectly for us), made light work of moving all of our furniture, and was extremely accommodating of all of our smaller specific requests. They also did an excellent job of re-assembling all of our furniture with care. In the end, they wrapped up the move ahead of the quoted time and had the moving costs adjusted accordingly. Will 100% recommend Carmel Movers to anyone that's looking for a quick and hassle-free move. read more

My wife and I hired Carmel to move us from a 3 bedroom apartment to a house. I've moved a lot due to my career and I've never had faster more thorough movers in my life. They disassembled and wrapped every piece of my furniture. I didn't even have to empty the clothes from our dressers. They arrived right on time and finished an hour earlier than they estimated. This was also the only time I've moved that absolutely nothing was broken during the move, not even the stem off a wine glass. I can't recommend these movers enough. The best! read more

Excellent! They were fast, and efficient . To my surprise they fixed a desk drawer I havnt been able to use in years, I didn't even ask. Thanks Carmel movers! read more

used these guys for moving. Nice enough movers, however they quote an hourly rate, sent 3 guys. Each guy asked to use the bathroom and each was literally in the toilet for 30 minutes. So an extra 1-1/2 hours taking dumps. The same crap (no pun intended) was done by a completely different moving company in CT. Just saying beware of these moving companies and take notice if each and every one of them ask to use the toilet and how long each stays in there, anyway they can milk you they will. Their gate also broke down and they had to wait to have a company come fix it, they tried charging us for the wait time which was over 3 hours which we told them NO Way. Only paid them what they quoted, the guys English was not good so we had to deal with Ivan the sales guy who was arguing about "taking money from their employees mouths." I told him to stop trying to guilt trip us, to buy better trucks that work and that we have more kids than the 3 movers who were moving us did. BEWARE read more

I am very tired after a long day of moving today , but I just had to write this. I have used Carmel for 3 different moves plus putting items in storage. Marlon has been the supervisor for the team each time and is so careful and considerate I actually request him for my moves!! He has always gone above and beyond to make sure things are well packed and placed exactly where you want them. I could go on and on-what a fabulous worker he is. He honestly can't do enough to help and he sets the tone for whatever team he is with. Ivan has guided us through the process in getting all set up properly. I would add more stars if I could. If we ever (Lord help me) move again, I know who to call!! read more

Awful awful awful. What a letdown. On the advice of a coworker, I took a chance on Carmel Movers. Their price was reasonable and the people sounded great on the phone, promising efficient, quality service. I was very, very disappointed. My move was supposed to be on a Friday, with a start time during the 1-3PM time window. That was the earliest time available when I booked the move several months in advance. Everything was smooth up to the day of the move, with callbacks for the deposit and another confirming the time and day several days before. On the morning of the move, ~10AM, I received a call asking if I was available at that morning. Unfortunately I had planned around a 1-3PM move, so I told them I could not. At 1PM, I finished work and sat at home waiting for my movers. At 1:30, I decided to make a call to them just to check that we were on schedule. Good thing I did, because that's when everything came apart. The operator told me the movers were on another job, and held ME responsible because I forwent the morning move. They told me they would be there ~4PM instead, which put me in a tough spot. I was at the mercy of Carmel Movers at that point. 4PM came along and I called again. I was told they were on their way from Ashland. I don't know if that was supposed to be comforting. I was furious. The movers finally arrived at 6PM. Yes, 6PM. The clock started right away and they got started. They started with my lightweight stuff, so I busted my ass getting all that into the truck for them so they could do the heavy lifting. The move took 2.5 hours, and the fact that it ended on 2.5 on the dot tells you something. I should mention I only moved a few blocks away. I was relieved when it was over...at least when I thought it was over. To add insult to injury, the next day, I realized many of my fragile materials were broken. I was not surprised. Do yourself a favor and stay away from Carmel Movers. The last thing you need to worry about is an unprofessional and unreliable moving company on your already crazy day of moving. read more

These guys haven't even moved me yet and I'm already disappointed. I was told a start time between 7 and 8 am. At the stroke of 7, I am ready and raring to go, everything is packed up. I sit around and wait til 8 and call them. Dan, who who was the sales guy, who convinced me they were the best, told me "oh I just talk to the dispatcher, they'll be there any second alright? No worries" next I know 5 minutes later, the driver of the truck calls "Oh we are hitting some traffic, we should be there in a hour" AN HOUR....and they had just told me 5 minutes earlier A SECOND. So I google their address to mine, it takes 30 minutes, so clearly you never left on time, and I highly doubt the traffic is that bad to double your commute time. A bunch of scam artists if you ask me. And to think I'm going to have to shell out $400 later to these guys to move my 1 bedroom apartment. Awesome. Satisfaction NOT guaranteed. read more

I don't have enough good things to say about Carmel Movers! My parents found themselves in a compromising situation when a previous company, Casey Movers (NEVER EVER HIRE THEM!!!), completely dropped the ball & left them stranded. Ivan from Carmel swooped in to save the day! He coordinated a truck to show up the next morning at 8 am (they showed up at 8am on the dot!), quickly loaded the truck, fixed the mistakes of the previous Movers and came in under budget. They literally saved the day! If you are moving, HIRE CARMEL!! read more

I cannot say enough good things about this company! I just used Carmel for my third move, and I will use them for my next. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone moving within the Boston/Eastern MA area. Between the super-kind office staff who keep excellent records (and gave me a discount for being a returning customer!) and called in plenty of time to confirm everything, to the moving crew themselves, who showed up exactly on time and were total pros, the process couldn't have been any smoother. Of course, the temperature shot up to over 90 degrees on moving day, and my place was on the third floor, but it didn't slow the crew down one bit, and they actually came in more than $100 under the quote! All of my furniture was safely wrapped and well-cared for, and now it's waiting in storage for me to buy a house. Once I do, Carmel will be one of my first calls. Seriously, if you need to move, hire these people! read more

This review is a few months late, but I still recall how seamless our moving day was, from start to finish. We had a 3-man crew, and they started by arriving earlier than scheduled (by about 30 mins). They worked quickly wrapping and padding our furniture, and expertly loaded the moving truck in about 3 hours. Unloading was just as smooth and we didn't find anything broken or missing. We will certainly be calling them in the future and will recommend to our friends and family. One more thing...a big shout out to Ivan for coordinating the move! Great customer service! Thank you!! read more

We had a great experience with Carmel. The movers were very friendly and knowledgeable. They played a great role in lowering our stress level during our move. They went "above and beyond" in helping my wife set up the tv and in other ways! The price was reasonable too. In short, my wife and I highly recommend them! read more

I'm not quite sure why these guys get such bad reviews since our experience with Carmel Movers was really awesome! We just finished our move from Cambridge to Somerville and everything, from planning to final payment was fast and smooth. Ivan, who took care of our planning and contract was very responsive, polite and knowledgeable. We had 3 of the hardest working guys (Jaime, Edwin & Rudolfo) show up early to our apartment and they were in constant motion, until the truck was packed with all of our stuff even with smiles on their faces. I got a little nervous we'd be finished too soon because they worked so quickly, but their timing was perfect. On the other end, we were moving in at the same time as another couple, but the movers all worked well at the same time, staying out of each other's way. Hopefully, we won't have to move again any time soon, but if/when we do, I'd use Carmel again in a heartbeat! Thx, Carmel!!! read more

These guys suck real bad. They were supposed to show up between 3 and 5. They showed up well after 7, without calling or anything to let me know what was going on. I had to call twice to figure out where they were. 3 guys show up and inform me that the truck is full, and that they might not be able to fit all of my stuff. And, furthermore, if we had to do multiple trips, I would be on the hook for extra time it took. So, they ended up leaving behind 1.5 carloads of stuff that I had to do myself. Never, ever again read more

Carmel Movers moved me from a very difficult access building to my new home. They did a very good job protecting everything and they were very efficient. The move came in right on budget and the movers were very professional, clean and neat. I have since referred them to many of my friends and family members. In a business like this, I think its hard to know who you can trust, but these guys were fantastic and I would recommend them to anyone. read more

We had good luck with these movers. They were recommended to us by our realtor. We found them to be polite and careful with our stuff. They were reasonably priced too. read more

So it's been 3 months since my move and I finally unpacked my last box today. I hardly ever write reviews, but I wanted to give credit where credit was due. Carmel is a great moving company, hands down. I had a very stressful time this summer, between buying and repairing a new home and changing my moving date several times. The folks at Carmel were ALWAYS accommodating, and Ivan was terrific about finding the right guys I needed to move my stuff. The three movers who showed on my moving date (early, I might add, and prepared to work) were so professional and fast! What I anticipated would take 8+ hours took only 6. The guys were careful, courteous, strong and did no damage to my house. The were fantastic about me being "nudgy" with some expensive exercise equipment and wrapped all pieces with care. We had only a very minor incident of a broken bookcase in the truck, and the foreman promptly filled out a form to get this repaired or reimbursed. Otherwise the move was a great success. Without my supervising, the guys set up my furniture with GREAT care and they placed floor saver stickies I'd left out on EVERY piece of heavy furniture without my asking. Boy, was I impressed. Let's just say I'm a nervous, high-maintenance ball of stress when I move, and based on previous experience with other companies, I was concerned that my possessions would not arrive in one piece and the floors/walls in new home would be damaged. The guys from Carmel who worked on my move put me at ease--no easy task on moving day! They even moved a fridge without issue. I can't say enough about how well this move came together. Carmel is a solid company, reasonably priced for the high quality and customer service. Don't go cheap with 2 Guys and Van. Don't go with movers who don't care about your things. Go with professionals who are polite and take care of their customers. Without question I will use Carmel for any future moves. -Cathy read more

We had to move unexpectedly, and Carmel Movers made the experience so much less stressful. We booked them at the last minute with no problem. They showed up right on time/a little early, and worked incredibly quickly, moving large/very heavy items with ease. They accommodated our need to move a 2 bedroom to two different towns, and were incredibly professional, friendly, and kind. Worth every penny, and I would absolutely suggest them to anyone. We will definitely be using them for our next move. read more

The movers themselves were awesome, they were on time and easy to deal with and nothing was damaged. BUT I got a quote based on what I was having moved which did not change, I didn't add any items to what I originally said I would have. It took more time than I was quoted based on the items so of course I was charged. It is what is but I would definitely know that this could happen and probably does with many movers. read more

These guys were great. They busted their butts for the entire day. They went above and beyond getting a desk through a door that it wouldn't fit though. The guys actually took the slider off to make sure it got where we wanted it. Nothing was damaged in the move. We had a four man crew with two trucks to make sure it all got done in one day. Hope to not move again for a long time but if we had to we would call these guys again. read more

Carmel did a terrific job on my move! I moved locally, but changed the date three times and they were very flexible. They arrived literally on the dot at 8am, worked incredibly hard and finished the entire move exactly within the estimate. I would recommend! read more

These guys were fantastics - they - helped us packup because we didn't fully finish...we literally just ran out of time - unpacked without leaving a dent...anywhere, they were very, very careful with the new house and with the furniture - great attitude - helpful And finally..THEY CHECKED THAT THE ROOMS WERE SETUP THE WAY WE WANTED BEFORE THEY LEFT...so we had a place to sleep and the like for the first night in our new place. They are price competitive...I love these guys. - cjm read more

Carmel Movers helped me move out of my house to an apartment and Ivan's estate was perfect. the movers were friendly and professional and were able to get everything I needed in my apartment's storage space. Highly recommend. read more

I used Carmel Movers to move some things out of my house into storage for staging before putting my house up for sale, in advance of a cross-country move. Ivan gave great advice about exactly how to get everything done, dropped off the boxes, and had patience when my move was delayed by several months. When I finally did reschedule, he was able to rebook me on very short notice. The team on the truck were fabulous .. they treated my things as if they were their own, and went up and down tons of stairs with heavy boxes with a smile and not a word of complaint! Pricing was more than fair and they were very easy to deal with. Nothing was damaged. read more

These guys are the best! They're always on time (sometimes a little early) and the crew is made up of some of the friendliest, most patient people you'll meet. I've used them four times and they've helped me with last minute bubble-wrapping, and protected all my furniture in plenty of blankets. None of my furniture has had so much as a scratch. I get the feeling they 've seen it all. They've helped me finish packing when they were early and went off the clock when my cat escaped hid in the crawl space. Their rates are on the cheap end, and they've always come in under their estimate. read more

I feel bad for not writing this review earlier as good movers are SO hard to find. I moved last Nov from Maynard to Acton and called up these guys after someone recommended them. I can't remember if we had 2 or 3 guys but they showed up on time and promptly started hauling stuff out of our house! They were very efficient, hardly stopping to take drinks of water we gave them. They wrapped up our furniture with tons of saran wrap and blankets and really took care of everything. Additionally the person I talked to on the phone to set everything up was very helpful. Rates were reasonable. I would definitely use them again!! read more

Carmel Movers was the best moving experience I have ever had. The moving crew showed up on time, they worked incredibly well as a team, they took extra effort to protect and wrap up my furniture, they were efficient, and they had no mistakes separating my things into what was going to my new apartment and a storage unit. I could not be happier with my experience. I highly recommend! read more

do NOT use this company!!! Where do I start! I was guaranteed delivery almost 2 weeks before it actually arrived. My wife and I were living in a hotel for 2 weeks. I almost got fired from my new job because of it. I filed a claim with the BBB and the owner of Carmel lied by saying that they had reimbursed us for the damages--which never happened. Of course BBB has thousands of cases and closed this one when they got a response. Carmel picked up everything 2 weeks earlier and 1 month later, everything finally arrived, AFTER they also charged me close to $500 more than they first told us. They are extremely unprofessional, and if the owner himself is a lier...that tells you everything about the company in general. Just look at all the complaints that they have had through BBB lately...and those are only the filed complaints! P.S. The only positive reviews you will find of them on the web are their own which they write themselves. Do NOT be fooled!!! read more
