Required an 80% up front deposit. Google Gemini told us this was a fraud red flag. To quote them:…read more"Looking at the screenshots you provided, there are several significant red flags. While the company (Two Brothers Moving) has a valid USDOT number, the specific terms of this quote are highly irregular for the industry. Here is a breakdown of why you should be extremely cautious: 1. The Deposit and Payment Schedule This is the biggest red flag. The quote lists a $7,097.60 deposit and states that 80% of the total is due 24 hours prior to the move. Industry Standard: As mentioned before, reputable movers rarely ask for more than 10-20% upfront. The Risk: By paying nearly $7,100 before they even park the truck at your door, you lose all leverage. If they don't show up, or if they show up and demand more money (a common tactic), you have already handed over the vast majority of the funds. 2. The Price Point The quote is to move a 1-bedroom apartment from Connecticut to Virginia. Context: While long-distance moves are expensive, nearly $9,000 for a 1-bedroom apartment is significantly higher than average market rates. For a move of roughly 350 miles, a 1-bedroom usually ranges between **$2,500 and $5,000**, depending on the level of service. The "Per Diem": They are charging you $450 for "Overnight lodging per mover." Most major carriers bake these costs into the line-haul rate rather than line-iteming hotel stays for the crew. 3. Discrepancy in "Project Type" The quote explicitly labels this as a "Local Move" in the Project Information section. Why this matters: Moving from CT, to VA, is an Interstate Move, not a local one. Labeling it as "local" can sometimes be a way to bypass certain federal consumer protection regulations that apply specifically to interstate household goods movers. 4. The Platform The URL app.supermove.co is a legitimate software platform used by many moving companies to manage bookings. However, just because a company uses professional software doesn't mean their specific business practices or pricing are fair. Summary & Recommendation I would not sign this or pay that deposit. An 80% pre-payment for an 1-bedroom move is predatory. Even if the company is "real," these terms are designed to protect them entirely while leaving you with zero protection if things go wrong."

We surmise, not insured. No written quotes, only verbal. Be sure and communicate clearly; we had a miscommunication that almost derailed our move day. I thought we were doing a good thing giving our biz to a local, small moving company but now regret it post move.

tl;dr -- Yony and his team are some of the best movers in the city. I've used him exclusively for…read moreover 15 years, and I refer him to all of my friends and family because he has helped me survive the moving process many times during situations where otherwise my heart would have literally exploded from stress. I cannot recommend Brighton Moving Company enough. They are also a reasonable price for both the moves themselves, and the storage as well. I lived in Allston for 10 years, during which time there were many apocalyptic moving situations where you need to be out on the 31st, but you can't move until the 1st, and need storage overnight, and it's September, so all of the students are blocking the streets and getting Storrowed--every single time, the moves would be worse than I ever could have imagined, and every single time, Yony came in with a team of cardboard and packing tape-wielding angels that totally saved my skin, This recent time, I was up all night prepping for the move, apartment in complete chaos, heavy rain during my moving window, my crazy finance bro neighbor came up and started threatening me because of the noise (because he's an entitled crybaby loser)--I took a disco nap, and woke up out of terror and stress, and I felt the same thought that I get during every move: "I am completely screwed--there is no way that anyone could move this disaster-zone of an apartment." Even worse, there was even a DPW crane blocking a busy Boston street this time, and I missed my two-week window to reserve a spot for the truck to park. I thought I was done for--approaching complete ruinous defeat. But then! Yony showed up right on time, his two guys were quick and skillful. I must have looked like a corpse. "Hey man, put on some music!" It was a profound and immediate release of chronic stress. Nothing got broke or damaged, my landlord came by and I even got my security deposit back because nothing in the Back Bay apartment got damaged. Absolute deliverance. I am a total research psycho concerning reading reviews, comparing on Yelp/Google/whatever, rolling my eyes at boilerplate websites and making spreadsheets to compare services--I would never pick another mover. If anyone ever asks--"I know a guy."

They offered to replace them, and I said no, because again I would have gave them drinks if they asked. Also, you also can't pay by credit card, which is odd, because they take your credit card for a cancellation fee. I asked him if I canceled what would he do, all he said is they don't charge my card. Their estimate was way off, I had to pay an additional $200 more than I was quoted. Which was what other moving companies estimated, I would have gone elsewhere if I knew I couldn't pay by credit card. After my complaint they offered to help me with some stuff to make up for the issues. My problem is I don't know what that stuff is. A small credit back would have gone a long ways.

I did not know what to think when my older sister called with the number for Organizing Boston and…read moretold me, "You need to get a hold of this group." I am so glad I listened to her. As a senior citizen, I find those tasks which would have been easier for me when I was younger more challenging. After 44 years of accumulating a variety of clothing in Boston, I needed to downsize. The idea of sorting and organizing 18 full bags of clothing by myself was daunting. Lead organizer Gloria met me and helped me go through those bags in record time (2 hours). I wouldn't have believed it possible. She was professional and compassionate. I ended up keeping two bags of clothing and she took away the rest in her car and arranged for them to be properly donated. Organizing Boston also sent me a receipt for the bags of items that I had donated. Professional efficiency combined with compassion was my experience in working with every aspect of Organizing Boston. What I thought would be a nightmare Gloria told me was fun for her. She definitely made it easy for me. I would highly recommend this group.

I found A Newera on Thumbtack and our first move together was really hectic but Jason and his crew did a phenomenal job! They did not complain and remained professional the entire time. We are in Massachusetts where a lot of the houses were built in the early 1900's when people didn't have such large pieces of furniture but he handles your furniture with the utmost care and somehow manages to get the furniture out without damaging it. Down tight stairwells, thru narrow doorways, even hoisting over the porch if need be. If you have something like an old, rickety bookcase, he may even help you reinforce it after the move. His interior decorating skills are on point too. All of the furniture in my home is positioned the way he suggested because he knows what he's talking about. The man goes above and beyond what any other moving company would do. He always shows up on time, remains professional even when faced with the unexpected and never tries to beat you on the price. I very highly recommend A Newera Moving Company.
