First experience using an actual mover instead of relying on family, friends, etc.! Moved during pandemic Spring, 2021 on Friday of Memorial Day weekend from Saugus to Salem, NH. Had to be out of Saugus home quickly for buyer inspection and Exela was totally efficient. Moving team had to wait for us to get to new home as the closing was delayed several hours thanks to an old fashioned attorney who did not electronically deposit purchaser funds! Anyway, once we gave them to go-ahead, they worked like a machine getting our items into our new three floor home and moving items to the properly marked rooms (as marked on the boxes). Price was reasonable, especially given the extra aggravation of a long weekend and delayed closing! The team even remained pleasant during the delay! Could not recommend Exela more, from Alexe to the movers themselves. We will be using Exela again for my dad's long distance move from SC to NH assisted living this summer. Thank you Exela! read more

I got a bunch of quotes from different companies. They all seemed to use the same automated estimate generator (or something very similar), which kind of sucked. I ended up having to call Alexe at Exela to get a better estimate and it was a bit rocky connecting with him and getting a final estimate. We worked through it though, and Exela came in middle-of-the-pack on price. Based on their good reviews and moderate price, I chose to go with Exela. Another company had slightly better reviews but higher price, and another had similar reviews but a seemingly unrealistically low price (it was probably completely off, and it made me trust them less). In the end, the estimate was about 15% under the actual final cost, which honestly is about what I expect (I don't think any of these companies are incentivized to over-estimate, so they're more likely to under-estimate). Anyway, now to the important part. I had a day of packing and a day of moving. The crew was great. It was nice getting to know them over the course of the two days. They did really good work, were polite, and moved every last thing without any damage. My favorite thing about them is that they weren't just robots programmed to move things from point A to point B. They were problem solvers. When issues came up, they just came up with a solution to the best of their ability. There were several examples of this, but my favorite was when they found a way to get a sofa up to my 2nd floor via a window. They tried all sorts of things before that, weighing pros/cons, assessing risk. Really happy with that. Anyway, bottom line, if I had to move again (which I hope I don't), I'd hire Exela in a heartbeat. read more

Exela Movers - Creativity at work - Movers Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

My wife and I hired Exela Movers after doing some research for the best company in the Boston area. We were moving from a two-bedroom apartment in Boston to a home in NY, so it was going to be quite the monumental task. Seeing all the rave reviews for Exela, I reached out and scheduled the move with them -- and I'm so happy I did! They were amazing. On the day of the move, a rain/snowstorm hit, but the crew still arrived on time and accomplished the job easily. This included moving all items out in 1 hour flat, a 6+ hour drive in whiteout conditions, and a full unpack in another hour flat. We had 3 movers, and they were all polite, professional, and took great care of all our items. Nothing arrived damaged or broken, and all items were accounted for. It was worth every penny! If you are worried about finding the right movers, then hire Exela. They know what they're doing and how to do it efficiently. Highly recommended! read more

I was beyond pleased with the moving service I received from Exela this week. Dragos and his crew were incredibly careful with my things, and very courteous. Moving can be so stressful, but the office staff also made things so easy. They are quick to respond and very pleasant. I will be recommending your service! read more

I hired Exela Movers for an interstate move from the Boston metro area to New Jersey. Exela did a great job of making what could have been a stressful move go as smoothly as possible. Exela was responsive to any questions when I had to update box counts prior to the actual moving date. The movers showed up on time and early to begin packing up my apartment. The movers worked quickly and efficiently. Everything made it to New Jersey and was unloaded at our new home. I have no complaints as everything went very well! I have already recommended Exela Movers to people I know still in the Boston area. read more

We needed to hire movers for our daughters who were moving from one apartment in South Boston to another in South Boston. We had hired movers for a previous move and it was an absolute nightmare. I searched Yelp for movers and Exela had the best reviews. From the initial contact to the move today, everything was fantastic. Incredibly responsive. Very professional. They showed up on time and Slavoljub and his crew were personable and professional. And FAST!! The 3 of them worked well together and they took great care of my daughters' items, ensuring that everything was protected and covered. The final cost ended up being less than was originally quoted, which was great. I would hire them again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend! read more

I will never use another mover (as long as I'm in the Boston area). As other people have said, these guys worked their butts off from the moment they arrived to when they left. Could not have been more helpful and friendly. All in all they took a stressful move from near the city to the north shore area much less stressful. They came and wrapped the furniture the night before so the move the next day could be that much more smooth. Throughout the process all our delicate furniture was carefully cared for and I have not one issue to report. 10/10. Great guys. read more

Just excellent! They were on time, efficient, delightful, and reasonably priced. We had them move our home from New Hampshire back to the north shore of Massachusetts with two drop off locations. It was a long and complicated move that they handled beautifully. Highly highly recommend! read more

We moved from Boston to New York last week and we had the best moving experience. After considering 3 other Boston movers decided to go with Exela for this interstate move. We are very happy that we ended up choosing them. Great team! From the first call to the end of the move 5 stars service. Thank you guys! read more

Exela Movers - Unloading all my stuff from the moving truck - Movers Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

See all

We used Excela for a move from Brighton to Sherborn, and we were really happy with the service. It was simple to book with them, and our team of movers (3 of them) were very friendly and efficient. It took ~7 hours to move our two bed apartment (who knew you could accumulate so much in two years?!). Keep in mind that the per hour cost includes travel time (in our case, they drove to and from the dispatch in Charlestown). We were only surprised by one charge - use of tape. While we taped all of our boxes ourselves, they needed to use tape to wrap the furniture pads, etc, to the furniture. The tape charge for our job was $84, so I would just pad a little extra in the budget. Overall, though, it was a great deal. I'd definitely use them again. They were careful, efficient, and friendly. read more

Excellent and efficient movers! They had us packed up and unloaded in a total of 4 hours (including a half hour drive to our new home!) and were very careful in handling our furniture (no nicks or scrapes!). We've used Exela twice and would use them again! read more

The movers were very professional and efficient. They appeared on time, packed everything. and arrived at out destination on time No small feat as were moving from Shelburne Vermont to San Diego California. We previously used them with the same efficiency when we moved from San Franscisco Bay area to Shelburne Vermont about 2 + years ago read more

These guys are the BEST! Moved us from Boston to Connecticut and took great care of all our belongings. We have several antique pieces and they carefully wrapped and handled everything. After unloading they went through every room of the new place making sure they'd put stuff exactly where we wanted it. These guys go above and beyond! Incredibly fast and efficient and super communicative throughout the whole process. Highly recommend them for your move! read more

Wonderful experience using Exela. Super fast professional and friendly movers. Disassembled and reassembled furniture, cleaned all debris, helped arrange furniture. Highly recommend! read more

Everything went well!! Have used them several times and always able to get the job done no matter how difficult. So pleasant and wonderful to work with!!! read more

Exela helped with a 2-bedroom, 1-day only in-town move out/move in, on 8/1. The weather was balmy, the stairs were unavoidable, and the hallways were unforgiving. The team that moved me in, however, was unstoppable. They were efficient and treated all of my stuff, and both units, with great care, including wrapping all of my furniture. They wore masks. They helped take things apart and put them back together. They fought to get my couch into the new house when I was ready to abandon all hope. Everything arrived in my new home in one piece (unless we took it apart). The office communication was speedy and thorough. The quote aligned well with the actual cost and was in line with what I expected to pay for an 8/1 Saturday move. I definitely took advantage of the cash discount..! Thanks for getting me setup so quickly and making sure everything was in the right spot! read more

These Folks were great. They were professional, they worked very hard and most importantly, very focused on detail and customer satisfaction. They wrapped all furniture, pictures etc and packed the truck efficiently and as a result, not one damaged price and no damage to our new home. Use this company to move, they are fantastic! read more

I was very impressed with the team Igor, Ivan & Sebi. I could not of asked for a better team moving me. On time, very polite and professional and kept me informed every step of the way. Pricing was very reasonable. Thank you so much !! read more

Exela made our local move easy and as stress-free as possible. First of all, the communication during the planning phase was great: Exela responded to my e-mail with a quote within a couple of hours, we agreed on a date, and I made a deposit over the phone. Exela also reached out ahead of the date to get a rough inventory and make sure we were good to go. My previous apartment was a 2BR on the third floor of a walk-up. The Exela team arrived promptly at the agreed upon time and quickly got to work. My partner and I packed our boxes ahead of time, and those made it down and into the truck quickly. The Exela team carefully wrapped our furniture in blankets and taped down any loose items to minimize the risk of any damage going down the stairs or in-transit. One snafu that the team smartly mitigated was a loose step on the landing stairway at street level; it was something my landlord has to take care of permanently, but the team offered to screw it down as a temporary fix to be able to complete the job safely. A less resourceful company might have declared the stairway unsafe and punted on the move, so I was impressed by the team's ability to be pragmatic in the moment! Once the truck was packed, my partner and I drove down to the new location separately from the truck. The truck arrived just a few minutes after we did, and unpacking started promptly. The team was once again very careful and considerate of our directions for where all of the furniture and boxes should go. When it came time to settle up, the team leader took the time to explain the invoice line by line. I was impressed by how quickly the team was able to get us packed, moved, and unpacked. One tip for others is to budget some time and packing material costs even if you pack all of your own boxes: some time is spent protecting furniture with blankets and tape, and the tape can add up to a non-negligible part of the cost for a short-duration move. Separately, I appreciated the ability to add a tip directly on my credit card instead of needing cash (particularly during covid). We had a great experience with Exela, and I would be happy to repeat business with them and recommend them to others. read more

We used Exela to move our boxes and furniture from a storage unit to our new house in a suburb of Boston. They were awesome. Daniel was great and very easy to work with. They were on time and the move went smoothly. I'd definitely recommend them and would use them again. read more

Moving can be incredibly stressful but with Exela Movers, it became much easier! They were punctual and speedy once they got in the building. The owner who I spoke to on the phone was helpful and gave a very reasonable quote. He was also responsive to my concerns. Caki, I believe was the group leader, listened to what we wanted and also relayed messages to the team. The furniture was unscathed during the move and we were delighted with this company. Everyone was kind and helpful. I would recommend Exela to everyone in the Boston area! read more

A negative, costly experience: overpriced, slow, and unprofessional. The pro: They communicate very promptly and professionally, and reaching them is easy. The breakdown of the negatives: - Charged us $299 an hour for a June move for a 3 person crew. On top of that, $600 round trip just to get to us! - Miscommunication with about the address even though I both wrote via email and called two days before. They got a bit lost, and it cost me time. - Slow: Went beyond the estimate and took 7 hours for a small two-bedroom apartment and still couldn't finish everything. We had to leave items behind because we couldn't afford having to pay even more. One of the crew members was painstakingly slow to wrap items in blankets while talking on his cell phone casually. I had to have a conversation with the foreman about the time. We were told that to pack one dining table, it would cost us an extra hour. Can you imagine paying $299 an hr just to pack a dining table? - Charged $65 just for tape! - Unprofessional: Emptied my nightstand drawer by dumping everything on the ground without ever consulting me. Got upset when I politely communicated the move was going very slowly, and we were going to over the estimate. I was reimbursed only a half hour for the problems. read more

Great crew. Whole process was stress free. They packed within few hours and moved in and out quickly. Very satisfied with the experience.

Daniel and William were awesome!!!! On time, very polite and respectful. Working with Alexe in the office was super easy too including forwarding insurance information to the Assisted Living home my parents live in. Highly recommend! read more

Writing a very belated review for Daniel + Saki. These guys were on-time (or early), great about communication, and friendly while respecting our privacy. They were clear and helpful with letting us know what we could and couldn't move (FYI, illegal to transport BIC lighters), helping us wrap up furniture, and weren't afraid to work hard. We moved something ourselves and they said, "Let us do that for you!" They took great care of our stuff. Would definitely hire them again. My only criticism with Exela is that the initial email process was confusing. We did a cross-country move and got a separate confirmation email for each day of the anticipated drive, which made it a little unclear when the movers would actually be showing up. However, in the end they were able to clarify the schedule and accommodate us after I called a few times. They were good about answering the phone. read more

I can't say enough good things about my experience with Exela. 3 days before a major move from Boston to Western Massachusetts (2 hours away), the first moving company we had booked had to cancel on us due to a covid outbreak on their staff. I called through every moving company I could find, but since it was New Year's Eve, most companies had their phones going to voicemail. Finally I called Exela, and Alexe picked up immediately. They had the staff available, just one day later than we had previously been scheduled, and made the booking and confirmation process smooth, pricing was transparent, and I got a head's up about every email I was to receive so that there were no surprises in the process. On the day of, the team arrived and could not have been more professional, friendly, or efficient. They adapted to a number of small challenges that came up with ease and patience. They arrived to our new home before I did and worked with my wife who was there, and her feedback was just as strong. They even adapted easily when she had to disappear to feed our 10 month-old. The team of movers, led by Daniel, were the best I have ever worked with, not even a question. I cannot recommend Exela highly enough - they saved the day for us at an incredibly stressful and challenging time. read more

They moved my daughter twice. They were fast, efficient and friendly! Best of all they are very reasonable priced! I can highly recommend them for a local move or long distance move! read more

This is my second review - and I will be right to the point - highly recommended. Daniel, Andrew, Madalin, and Adrian were professional, fast, and took great care of moving our items back into our house. We made a few stops and it was easy. My sister will be using Exela as well when she moves shortly. Very easy recommendation. 10 stars. read more

Great moving company. I was looking for a last minute, short distance and small move. They fit the bill to a "T". I couldn't believe that I could call at 7:50PM on a Sunday evening, actually speak to the owner, get a fair and VERY accurate quote and a tentative date that Friday. Confirmed the next day and their very efficient system kicked right in. I received all the paperwork, receipts and notices straight away. As promised ETA was confirmed the day before and arrival was spot on. The crew was professional, polite, clean and neat and very efficient. Delivery was equally efficient and all was done to unwrap, place where requested and clean up. It was a dream and I will definitely be telling my friends abut Exela Movers. Heartfelt thanks. read more

As a single woman who has had previously negative experiences with movers, I can definitely say that this company made me feel comfortable, safe, and provided a seamless move. I was reassured along the way that everything I needed would be taken care of and the pricing and timing were extremely reasonable. I would highly highly recommend this company to anyone loooing for professionalism, kindness, and efficiency. Thank you so much to Exela Movers Daniel and Sabin!! read more

Unfortunately, I am updating my last glowing review with my most recent experience with Exela.... This time, I was moving from a small one bedroom apartment to a 2 bedroom.. I barely have any stuff-mainly just furniture and a few boxes.. They were very SLOW this time. The total move took 5 hours, and in previous times, only took 2-3 hours maximum!! They also tacked on a lot of extra fees that were never there before: "packaging materials" such as wrap, tape, blankets, $35???? And, they charged me from the time they left their warehouse until they arrived at my apartment. I was told $139/hour, flat rate with no hidden fees, but there WERE hidden fees.. My total bill came out to be over $700, which I thought was a lot given the amount of items I had. In the past, I used to pay around $350-400. They've increased their prices and added fees that were never there before. On the plus side, the movers were friendly and professional and showed up on time. I don't think I'd use them again though, due to the hidden fees, overall high cost, and slow moving. read more

Alexe's crew, led by Daniel did fantastic with job with our out of state move. they were professional and fun guys, who took good care of our stuff and our houses. They packed for us, and everything made it with little damage. they did use a lot of packing paper! We would absolutely use Exela again. read more

Exela movers are fantastic! Dan and his crew took care of all our needs. They are efficient but also careful and thoughtful. I've hired them for three moves and will always use them in the future! read more

Absolutely the Best! Daniel, Adrian & Sabin were incredibly nice, polite, professional, organized and took great care of our things! Our move could not have gone better. We will definitely use them again! Thank you! read more

I used Exela Movers to move from Boston to Baton Rouge, and the whole experience with Elexa was anxiety-free and, as much as moving can be, perfect. I had just had surgery on my arm, so they helped me pack in Boston and unpack in Baton Rouge. NOT A SINGLE ITEM WAS DAMAGED OR BROKEN. They were not only professional, but also careful, detail-oriented, professional, and caring. If I could give them 10 stars, I would. Highly recommend!!! read more

The team was friendly and efficient! They moved quickly and y packed some items that were loose when they arrived. They also helped bring out heavy items I was throwing away, so that I didn't need to lift heavy things downstairs even if it wasn't going on the truck. read more

We used Exela for an interstate move. They did a great job packing our home. They were polite and efficient. Everything went as smoothly as we could have hoped. Their fees were less than what I was quoted by the "preferred movers" recommended by my employer. I highly recommend this company. read more

Daniel and his team are the best movers I've had, ever. I would know, I have moved 10 times in 20 years!! Really clean, professional and worth the investment. Not one thing lost or broken! read more

We used Exela Movers twice over the years for moves that spanned about an hour traveling distance from point A to point B. Roughly one apartment for first move and half of one for second. Recently during the pandemic, I was pleased with their safety protocol that called for moving with masks and gloves - now I know this is difficult and I so appreciated their commitment! I also opened the windows to circulate air for their protection as well as ours. Both times I have had great communication with Alexe the owner, and the cost quotes were reasonable and accurate. The movers were extremely fast and careful, wrapped things they thought needed to be more secure. No hidden charges or changes, except for upgrading to a bigger vehicle when they thought we might need it (no charge - amazing). They were not the cheapest quote I got, but remember you get what you pay for! I paid for professionalism and peace of mind, and I felt immense relief. I would definitely use them for a third move. read more

Our move was 3 miles within the city but not as stress free as we would have liked it to be. After reading all the reviews for Exela we preferred it to other movers although the quote was significantly higher. For the price we paid, we didn't get what we thought we would. All in all not worth the premium that they charge (at least 30-40% higher than all other quotes we received). Pros - arrived on time - 2 out of 3 movers were fine in "doing the job". - moved decently enough to get things done - took care of most of our furniture Cons - 1 person was excessively chatty and asking too many things trying to be relatable when we just didn't need that. He basically didn't do even half as much as he was supposed to - 1 person was plain downright rude. He broke vases, cracked our bed and at any point when we tried to understand why he wouldn't pack something he said "either you do what I say or this doesn't go." And walked away - 2 of them used our bathrooms without even asking. - didn't plan enough and finally left some of our stuff at our old place because "their truck was full" which then we had to move on our own. They didn't disassemble any furniture and of course that filled up the truck - took 5 hours longer than what they had budgeted and told us - lastly when we talked to the owner about all this he was excessively defensive and said "it was supposed to be a 7 hour job but took longer so.. " well you planned and told us your estimate, not like we told you. And we paid for every hour that your employees were here so I don't understand what the defense is about. read more
