Customer Reviews

I. S.

Moved locally within the same town. Sasha and Arthur were awesome. They showed up on time and handled a ten hour move with absolute professionalism and amazing stamina. Very impressed by how carefully they wrapped and kept track of all pieces of furniture. There was a lot to handle, and I am so glad we had them to help! It was very easy to book, and I received confirmation the day prior, so it wasn't necessary to follow up independently. Would recommend the company a thousand times over.

We’ve used Octopus Movers for our past 2 moves after being referred by my cousin! This team has been so friendly, efficient, and super careful with all our stuff! Really thoughtful, great pricing, we recommend to all our friends. This most recent move we were unfortunately doing so right after a big snow storm — the movers were SO accommodating, helping shovel and salt as well. Very grateful for their service! You cannot go wrong working with them for your move!

We had a last minute move and needed movers, luckily octopus moving was able to accommodate us and get us scheduled within a weeks notice. I had Sasha and Artur as my movers. I have so many great things to say about them and our recent move. They were on time for the scheduled time. Both Sasha and Artur had an amazing work ethic properly securing our items and loading and unloading them to/from the truck with care. All of our items were disassembled and reassemble to our new apartment with no issues. Both were kind and sincere asking about various items and which room they should leave it in. I highly recommend Octopus Moving for your next move!

Frequently Asked Questions

How far in advance should Octopus Moving be booked?

The company recommends booking two to three weeks ahead, especially in spring and summer. Last-minute moves are accommodated when availability allows.

What affects an Octopus Moving estimate?

The estimate factors in distance, move size, item count, packing needs and access conditions such as stairs, elevators and long carries.

How does Octopus Moving manage parking and building access?

For Boston-area moves, its crews coordinate parking permits, truck access, elevator reservations and building requirements before moving day. If a permit cannot be obtained and the city issues a fine, the customer is responsible.
