I have never written a yelp review, but I had such a good experience with Exela that I had to leave one. To put it simple, moving is awful, and working with Exela made it a piece of cake! if you're searching for a moving company, you can stop your search right now because if you use Exela you can be sure you'll get a great price, excellent movers, and have a very easy time working with them! First off, while they are a newer company, Alexe (owner) has been a mover in Boston for years and finally went out on his own. So you will get years of experience and professionalism with the move. Working with Exela: Alexe was wonderful to work with. His responses by email and phone were VERY FAST, he accommodated all of our needs, and everything was done professionally. We got an excellent price up front, there were no hidden fees, and their time estimate was very accurate. The move: this was the best part, it could not have gone any smoother. They arrived on time, loaded the truck quickly, and had no trouble moving large pieces around tight corners or up the stairways. we packed most of our stuff on our own, but they wrapped/packed the furniture and some of the artwork. And everything arrived in pristine condition! We even had 2 bikes and a surfboard in the truck, and I assumed at least one of them might get a ding (as surfboards/bikes typically do in a move) but everything arrived in Richmond, VA without a scratch. i couldn't believe it. i have since recommended them to all my friends in the Boston area because you cant beat them on price, professionalism, skill, and ease to work with. I just wish they had a branch here in VA so i could use them again on our next move! read more

We needed to move our company Schmit Machine Inc and North American Elevator Products from one facility to another. A few years ago, we had a great experience when Exela movers moved my parents from NY to Boston, so I thought I would check to see if they could assist with our commercial move in NY.  Not only were they willing to do so, but they also helped me plan the move. Moving a house is stressful but I learned that moving a company is another level of stress. There are different things to take into consideration which required careful planning for months. Ultimately, we decided to move in stages and had Exela pack and unpack us to avoid lost income. Exela was able to work within our schedule to make the transition as seamless as possible. After studying the new business floor plan, they helped me prioritize items to move, tagged and color coded work stations for efficiency and ease as well as organized our small parts inventory to facilitate the move. They worked closely with our staff and made things easier for our shop manager so he could focus on the jobs coming in instead of the move. They were prompt and methodical, which is exactly what we needed. I couldn't have been happier. The best part of the process was that after it was over, the owner followed up with a simple phone call to see how we were settling into the new space. You can tell that they care about their clients. While I hope to never have to move to another facility again, if I have to, I will be sure to call Exela Movers. Thank you! read more

I had an amazing experience with Exela! I recently had to move out of state and decided to use a moving company for the first time. I was nervous about the process, but Exela did not disappoint! They were quick in providing a quote and were communicative throughout the process in the days leading up to the move, making sure to answer any questions I had in a timely and thorough manner. On the day of the move, I received notifications regarding the status of the Team, who would be arriving, and when. Daniel was the crew leader and was personable and informative, and the crew worked diligently to inventory all of my items and move them into the truck and didn't stop until the job was done, taking just over an hour (for a one bedroom apartment with furniture). I had some specific requests regarding the second day, and they were quick to accommodate. While moving my items in, they only stopped to ask if I approved of the placement of furniture and made sure I felt comfortable before they left. I had heard and read so many horror stories about moving companies losing items, racking up the price of the move after the initial estimate, and damaging items that I was hesitant at the beginning of the process, but I cannot say enough good things about this company and the people who work for it. They are thorough, friendly, and work hard to make sure you are satisfied, and I'd use them again in a heartbeat and recommend them for anyone looking for movers in the Northeast! read more

I can't say enough about Exela Movers. My wife and I have used many moving companies for various moves over the past 5-6 years, and Exela is by far the best we've ever encountered. We recently used Exela for an interstate move from Boston to Washington D.C. Exela gave us the most reasonable quote out of 7 or 8 moving companies that we spoke to, and Alexe, the owner, was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout the entire process. We had many different questions about the size of the moving trucks, different types of quotes, and timing for the move, and he was willing to work with us on everything. He always responded within a couple hours, too, which was great. On the day of the move, our 3 movers showed up 15 minutes early and got right to work on our 2 bedroom apartment. What took previous movers closer to 3 hours to move took these guys only 2 hours. They didn't scratch or break anything and were super pleasant and respectful the entire time. They made it to D.C. right when they said they would the next day and were just as quick moving all of our furniture and boxes into a 2 story home as they were on the other end. Again, nothing broke, they did a great job getting a big mattress up a narrow staircase, and made sure everything was exactly where we wanted it before they left. All in all, they made our move so easy! I'd recommend Exela over any other moving company in Boston! read more

My husband and I have worked with Exela Movers a handful of times, and we LOVE them. The owner is a pleasure to work with - a down to earth guy who really strives for top notch customer service. Exela is responsive and reliable and always gets the job done timely. We have had bad experiences with movers who damage your belongings or increase cost after quoting a specific amount. This was not an issue with Exela. We used them for moving furniture locally - including sentimental and very heavy furniture like a very heavy piano that has been in my family for years. That move was seamless and was a great experience. We also needed help while we were having construction on our house. We needed to move furniture from our house into a storage pod on our property and then back into the house post construction. Exela's rates to help with that were far more reasonable than other quotes I got and so we went with them again and again we were so impressed by their reliability, respect for our things and our time, and their commitment to good customer service. We were so happy with them that we recommended them to my parents who were moving to NY. They did a beautiful job with that move as well and were very helpful to alleviate some of the stress for my parents. Overall, I would highly recommend Exela Movers and would not hesitate to use them again myself for big or small moves. read more

These guys were fabulous A+ professionals and I would absolutely use them again. Their correspondence turnaround was quick, their communication thorough, and their prices more than fair. I've hired movers for the last three moves I've done and these guys have been my fave- no corners cut, no dawdling-- just really great professional guys who are experts at moving your stuff! The day of the move, they arrived a couple minutes early and got up and going! After a quick survey of the massacre (I was the first of many to move out of a multi-bedroom, multi-story apartment), they got to quick work wrapping and disassembling furniture, moving boxes, and packing the truck in the most efficient way I've ever seen. I had forgotten that I had built my bed in my up-awkward-stairs room, and without batting an eye, they disassembled it for me, and even put it back together in the new place, saving me HOURS of work and frustration. The guys were totally nice, too. I've spent a lot of time packing and moving things for my job lately and their efficiency and quality very much impressed me. My roommates' jaws were on the floor with how quickly they managed to get things done. So, bravo Exela! You'll be hearing from me again! read more

Hire these movers!! I have only good things to say about Exela Movers. Alexe and his team of professional movers were top-notch. My husband and I moved from the suburbs into Boston at the end of July (on a VERY hot day). These guys arrived right on time and started in on packing up the furniture (they wrap each piece very carefully) and loading it into their truck. My husband and I had done a lot of pre-packing and had marked each box and piece of furniture with a label saying where it should go in the new house which they appreciated and found helpful. We had several pieces of exquisite antiques (huge and heavy). I was very worried about moving these pieces, but they handled them beautifully. Everything arrived without a scratch. They didn't mark any walls with scratches. Truly unbelievable work. They worked non-stop for 10 hours and took only 1/2 hour break for lunch which they deducted from the bill. I would hire them again without hesitation and will certainly recommend them to anyone who's looking to move. Reasonably priced too. Don't look elsewhere. This is the company you want to hire! read more

We just moved from a large house on the Main Line near Philadelphia to Back Bay in Boston. I have heard so many moving horror stories that I was worried about each step. Alexe the owner was very informative and helpful throughout the process. He was always responsive, whether I phoned or emailed. The movers packed us up in Philly - they did such a good job that *nothing* was broken. They worked tirelessly and were pleasant and polite always. Although I knew I was downsizing and had to get rid of many things, we still ended up with many, many more boxes than anticipated. Alexe quickly arranged a second truck for us, and both trucks delivered the same day as scheduled, on time. I was very appreciative the the moving guys patience and professionalism throughout the process. And, we found the price to be extremely reasonable - quote was much lower than some other Boston movers. I am one happy customer and would not hesitate to recommend Exela movers to a friend. Clearly this is a company that gets customer service and delivered - literally! read more

Heard about this business by word of mouth. I had never used movers before and was skeptical that I could do it better, faster or cheaper myself. Exela easily proved me wrong. I have never come to yelp to write a positive review, but I feel they deserve special mention. They were communicative and pleasant from my first email, listed a great price and took all the difficulties out of the equation. The day of the move, they arrived on time and got to work immediately. Working for an hourly rate, they moved so fast I could tell they wanted me to get my money's worth, and I feel like they earned every minute. What would have taken me all day and hours of stress took them about 4 hours, and I paid about half what I expected (such was their speed and efficiency). On top of that they were pleasant and professional, even humoring my mother-in-law as she tried to micromanage them. Moral of the story, I have never been so satisfied with a service before and I plan to call them for my next move without hesitation. read more

Could not recommend these movers more! my first long distance move (Boston to NYC) and Daniel, Nicu, and Igor did an amazing job. They came exactly when they said they were and they realized I had a flight and were not only speedy and efficient but made accommodations for me to be able to go to the airport on time. The parking situation in New York City was extremely stressful but they handled it professionally and were able to get the job done. Not only that, but both apartments I was moving out of and moving into were four floors and the humidity was about 100% but they still did an incredible job. I once got scammed moving so moving is an extremely stressful thing for me and they handled it with such ease and were able to get the job done in one day. Also, for the distance, time, and labor they put in, it was relatively cheap for what their competitors were offering. Thank you again to Daniel, Nico and Igor! I will recommend you and Excela to all my friends. read more

If you're looking for a moving company in the Boston area, look no further! We researched companies heavily and found Exela to be the most affordable with best response rates. Our moving date got pushed multiple times and each time I called or emailed Alexe, someone got back to me within 12 hours. On moving day, the guys were super efficient, and respectful of our belongings. They arrived a little early to see the products they were moving. It took them a little over an hour to load a full 2-bedroom apartment. I couldn't believe they had the truck loaded and we were on the road to our new house by 9:30 am! When we got to the house, they set up our furniture and unloaded the truck with ease. From start to finish, they were the best moving company I have ever worked with. We will never consider any other moving company as they truly made our lives so easy during a stressful time. I highly recommend Exela Movers to anyone in the Boston area. read more

This is the first time I have written a review on Yelp, but Exela Movers deserves it. After having to cancel another moving company due to a change on the closing of my house, I was stuck with no movers at the end of August in the Boston area. I came upon Exela through Yelp and called them. They had someone cancel on them at the last minute, so I immediately put down a deposit and scheduled them within the next few days. They showed up to my apartment on time (in fact about 15 minutes early) and immediately went to work. They had my entire apartment packed up, drove north to Portsmouth, and unpacked the truck placing the furniture exactly where I needed it in less than 4 hours (plus no damage to any of the furniture or my new house). They were extremely efficient and very professional. The final price was even a bit less than quoted! I have hired movers before, but they were by far the best. read more

We moved from MA to NJ. After interviewing multiple moving companies, we went with Exela because their per hour rate was very reasonable compared to the others which charged by the weight or cubic feet. They also committed to loading and delivering our stuff the same day! Other moving companies quoted us a lot more in cost and gave us a 5-6 day delivery window. We are so glad we went with Exela! They made our moving experience as pleasant as can be. Besides the price, the most important reason why we recommend them highly is the super professional and friendly attitude that each member of the team had. They handled everything carefully and made sure we were completely satisfied with everything. These guys were amazing and if I could give them 10 stars, it would still be not enough! Keep up the great work Alexe and team! read more

Our family recently had a death in the family and had a house in Boston that needed to be cleaned out. The first company we hired based on their great reviews, showed up late and left 45 minutes later leaving us high and dry. My sister and I are from Texas and New Mexico respectively, and only had 2 days to get this job done. Mike from storage bunker gave us Exela movers number and Alex showed up an hour later. Gave us a quote, showed up early the next day and they worked really hard to accomplish the job. Impressed with the way they worked, their professionalism, and the great attitude of the entire crew. They bailed us out of a tough situation and we are so grateful that we found this company. They are GREAT! Would highly recommend them for any of your moving needs. read more

My husband and I are relocating to Germany for work and can't take everything with us. We've used Exela before and decided to book them again. They remembered us and thankfully Exela took our job without much notice to accommodate our relocation timeframe. They arrived right on schedule, assisted with packing some boxes and padded all of our furniture. They were very patient with us, especially since we didn't have everything perfectly ready to go and they were super fast. We couldn't believe how quickly they came in, assessed the items going and then just started moving. Before we knew it, they were done! They were so helpful and pleasant to work with and these guys were so fast and efficient! I'm glad we decided to go with Exela again, they didn't disappoint! read more

Exela is the best moving company out there. In the office, Alexe turned what could have been a very complicated move into something that ran seamlessly. He was always available for questions, and I felt confident that he had everything taken care of. During the move itself, Daniel and his team showed up on time and were incredibly professional. They did a wonderful job, and they treated our belongings as if they were their own. At every step in the moving process, they took the time to make sure that we were happy. Also, they are great people and their positive attitudes helped us through a tough week. I'd recommend Exela to anyone in the Boston area. I've moved many times in the past and I wish I had discovered them earlier. read more

Excela Movers did a phenomenal job moving us across town! Our team of 3 movers (Veljko, Dan, Ivan) showed up on time, were very communicative, honest about their pricing estimate, added on services at our request, and would walk us through each step. They had the necessary insurance required by our building and came recommended from building management. The team was very friendly and worked diligently to wrap our furniture, carry boxes, and triple check that furniture was unloaded into the most appropriate rooms in our new place! Nothing was damaged in our move. I highly recommend this company for your needs! They were wonderful to work with and very responsive to our quote request and questions. read more

These guys are pro's on every front. Moving is always challenging and I moved a few days before Christmas and a few days after a snow storm. I was moving to a place on a small street with parking open only on one side. I was worried about how they would maneuver parking, unloading and interacting with new neighbors etc. I worried for no reason. The crew leader (Rodrigo) checked in with me via text that morning and communicated really well throughout the process. William, Flaviu and Rodrigo were meticulous with wrapping, unwrapping and placing my furniture. They managed the parking situation and snow with ease. They were professional, respectful and efficient. I highly recommend this company! read more
