    CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

    Recently, I used Octopus for a long-distance move and couldn't be happier with my decision. The team was punctual, efficient, incredibly organized, taking great care in wrapping and securing my furniture to ensure it arrived at my new home without any damage. Despite the distance, my belongings were delivered within the estimated timeframe, which was a huge relief. The entire process was hassle-free, I was impressed by the professionalism and friendliness of Octopus Movers. I would definitely use their Boston Moving Services again in the future, recommending them to anyone in need of a trustworthy moving company.

    Highly recommend Octopus Moving! The movers were very kind, professional, they worked quickly, efficiently while also taking great care to protect my furniture, my home. They were also very communicative, easy to work with when scheduling the move, their prices are extremely reasonable for the greater Boston area.
    Helen Troth, Boston
    I wanted to share my wonderful experience with Octopus Moving for my recent move from a 2-bedroom apartment. The crew was exceptional in taking care of all my belongings, making sure that everything arrived in perfect condition. Their attention to detail and careful handling of even the most delicate items truly impressed me. Not only did they arrive on time, but the crew was also incredibly polite, pleasant to work with. Highly recommend this moving company!

    Sasha and Artur were kind and wonderful movers. They got to my place at 8am on the dot and were ready to go. They were super duper efficient and also wrapped all my furniture very securely. They were also so fast at wrapping all my dishware. That was the fastest move of my life lol. Also big shoutout to Terry who called me to make sure I got the most fitting insurance plan and discussed all the options with me. And another shoutout to Fiona and Natalie for painlessly booking me a move and storage on short notice. Thank you to the team!

    This is the best experience I’ve ever had with movers… They saved me! My place was a disaster and it was a difficult job. They showed up with smiles on their faces. They helped me so much. They relieved my stress and did such a great thorough job. They went above and beyond I would recommend them to anybody, and I will definitely be calling them again whenever I have to move. Absolute best! Customer service is unmatched! They are patient and thorough. They are the best of my business!

    Sasha from Octopus moved us this week and the service was exceptional! We had multiple stops and lots of stuff, and he and the team somehow fit it in a single trip, was super efficient, and we had nothing damaged as part of the process. They could not be nicer and more professional, never complaining about how long the day was. On top of this, the price was about half of what I've paid with other movers. They also basically set up the whole place by setting all furniture, and reassembling with ease, so it was easy for our first night despite having lots of unpacking to do-- would highly recommend!

    Packing: A moving cost often includes packing expenditure. The amount will depend on the type of your belongings and their number.

    Assembly and disassembly of furniture. The price depends on the time spent which in turn depends on the difficulty of assembly and disassembly.

    Elevators: If the apartment building has no elevators, the move will take longer.

    Miles: moving companies can charge a fixed price per kilometer, per hour or per destination if the move is long distance.

    Storage: It is an additional cost that will depend on the volume needed to store the belongings. On average, it costs around $225 per month with the lowest price being $75 per month.

    In any case, everything must be perfectly specified in the budget and the work must always be entrusted to specialized local moving companies having all the necessary permits to carry out this type of service.
