A-Plus Moving & Storage works out of East Boston and gets called back by the same families move after move. In a 2023 review, one customer described using them for three moves over eight years without the kind of damage or delay problems they'd heard about from friends using other companies; another, moving a family home's contents in stages after losing both parents within 15 months of each other, called them back "many, many times" over the years in a 2025 review. On Google, 583 ratings average 4.8★, and the written history runs deep — 189 reviews stretch back to 2021, with 19 added in just the last six months, all but one of them positive. Recent reviews describe furniture wrapped in plastic and delivered without a scratch, crews that show up on time and finish faster than quoted, and named movers — Eugene, Masum, Ismael, and Sebastian among the names that recur — who disassemble and reassemble furniture and shelving as part of the job. A 2022 Reddit thread recommending Boston movers named them too, calling the crew quick and efficient and the booking simple. The complaint that resurfaces across several years, most recently in a July 2026 review, is billing: customers describe being charged for drive time from the warehouse rather than arrival time, extra fees for wrapping or a hand truck that weren't mentioned upfront, or a job that ran longer than quoted. A January 2026 review also described a scheduling dispute that turned confrontational with the owner. Separately, a 2025 review reported a stored item — a large, personally significant piece of art — going missing on a Boston-to-New York delivery, and a 2022 review described several damaged items, including a crib and a dresser, after a move. These sit as a minority against the broader run of 5-star reviews, but worth asking about directly before booking: get the hourly rate, any extra fees, and the drive-time policy in writing. For a standard local or regional move, the numbers here favor them — just confirm pricing details and ask how they handle high-value or fragile items before signing off.
“A Plus Moving and Storage! They were super quick and efficient! And it was very simple to book time with them. Used them to move stuff from a 1 bdrm apartment from Mission Hill to Dorchester. Got the whole thing done in 2 hours”
“A-Plus was the quickest company to respond, the most thorough, and incredibly turnkey and easy to work with. Mike, the owner, was also very high touch and easy to communicate with.”
Right on time, careful, courteous!
I have now used this company three times. The first two I have no complaints hence why I kept calling them. This third time, however, I was very unhappy with their service. I Had them move One small bedroom, A few kitchen appliances, And one living room. A 700 square foot apartment 2.5 miles down the road. The first location having an elevator. I was quoted three hours at $175 an hour. The other two quotes prior to this move were all accurate amounts of time. This particular crew on this last move, seemed to have zero urgency to get anything done. It took them 4.75 hours. I was expecting to pay around $600 so it is understandably upsetting to get a bill for almost $1,000. I have the exact same amount of stuff that I had the last time they moved me, The hourly rate was significantly lower, And I’m paying hundreds of dollars more than the last time they moved me. I called to try to understand the price, but was shut down. I will not be using this company again.
I’ve moved with A-Plus movers twice now, and they do AWESOME work. All of my furniture has made it to my apartment unharmed and treated extremely respectfully each time. Additionally the crew I got most recently were absolute saints—they had really awesome attitudes about a tough moving assignment, and I can’t thank them enough. A-Plus rocks!
Everything was wonderful with this company from the first phone call to the actual move. Would recommend this company to all. Polite, friendly and hard working. Absolutely 5 stars! Thank you!
Super helpful!
