Boston Best Rate Movers is a Waltham moving company, and a recent Google reviewer said Marvel and team did the whole move in 3 hours, loading in 1.5 hours and unloading in 45 minutes, from a third-floor apartment to a second third-floor apartment. The company's website describes a Waltham-based mover founded in 2002, offering local, long-distance, commercial, packing and storage services, with no stair fees and 15-minute billing increments. A recent Google reviewer moved between two third-floor walk-ups during a July heatwave with no air conditioning; that reviewer said the crew, led by Melvin, arranged the living room and bedrooms so the furniture could be used that night, and called the pricing transparent and fair. A recent Google reviewer said Alex Quiteno, Yalber and Heber handled a move to a different state for about $5,400 total, including 10 hours of travel time each way, and that it was the cheapest option they found. A recent Google reviewer said the crew took apart and rebuilt furniture that could not fit up the stairs. In 2022, a Google reviewer said Juan, William and Selving moved them from Roslindale to Kingston, with lots of stairs and pouring rain in the back half of the day, and kept everything dry. A recent 1-star Google reviewer wrote that a crew member "stole a kiss tried to kiss me" and made sexual comments about the reviewer and the reviewer's body, asked to slap the reviewer's butt, and asked for contact information, then made sexual comments in that thread. That reviewer said the company showed no urgency to resolve it and that the messages were set to delete after viewing and that he deleted his account the same day the reviewer called the company to report it. A 2025 Google reviewer said a 4-hour job took 10 hours with a break of more than 3 hours, that management blocked the reviewer's number the following day, and that more than double the money came out of their account. A 2025 Google reviewer called it the worst moving company ever. A 2024 Google reviewer said a move told to take 4 1/2 hours at most took 10, with breaks of 20 minutes or more, at double the expected price, and that a new iPhone in its box was nowhere to be found after the move. A 2022 Google reviewer said they paid almost double the original estimate because the movers insisted everything be repacked, at what the reviewer called extortionate prices for materials.

Juan and his team did an amazing job!
Alex and his team were absolutely incredible! They worked so hard, didn’t leave a scratch or dent on anything, and were so patient as my wife and I packed our last things. This was my second time using Best Rate Movers and I cannot recommend them enough.
This crew was amazing! Quick, efficient, and did a wonderful job taking apart and rebuilding furniture that could not fit up the stairs. We plan to use them again in the future!
Luis, Billy & Cristian showed up right on time and did a great job. They were very organize and treated our possessions as if they were theirs. Very very happy and will definitely recommend Boston Best Movers to others.
