A recent Compass Moving & Storage customer reported waiting 42 days for a 416-mile delivery and losing a box of irreplaceable items. Another described a contracted-out move for their parents, changing moving companies, payments through Zelle and an arrival window that passed without the movers appearing. Those accounts sit alongside a recent repeat customer who praised Johnny’s communication, Dave and Kevin’s careful work, and a final price well below the estimate. The South Dennis business describes itself as family-owned and veteran-operated, serving Cape Cod and the Islands. It advertises local and long-distance residential and commercial moves, packing, storage and junk removal. Google lists a 4.3-star average from 59 ratings. Its BBB profile has an A+ grade and says the business is not accredited. Customers have described specific furniture and packing jobs over several years. In a December 2025 review, a customer said Rich and Bobby moved a spinet piano into a basement through a bulkhead door. A January 2026 reviewer credited Dave, Kevin and Christian with filling a moving pod. In an October 2025 review, a former mover said Peggy’s quote was at least $1,000 below another company’s and the crew finished sooner than expected, saving money. A different October 2025 customer reported an on-time, on-budget move with no damage. Other customers reported higher charges and damaged belongings. A March 2026 reviewer said a telephone quote doubled on moving day and complained that a subsequent claim was taking a long time without a completion date. In September 2024, a customer said a different moving company handled the job, two dresser legs and china plates broke, and $75 compensation was offered. An April 2023 reviewer described poor communication with deaf customers, higher charges and damage from improperly stacked boxes. A June 2024 customer, by contrast, said the price exceeded the quote because the move involved more than anticipated, while praising the work. Its company history is stated differently in different places. The website gives a 2004 founding date and separately claims 30 years in business; the BBB profile lists a January 2005 start. The business also publishes D.T.E., D.O.T. and M.C. registration numbers as its own claims.
Don’t just go to Google for reviews. Check out the BBB - which I’ll be adding to. They contract out, the moving companies changed so many times, and we’ve had to pay people via Zelle to make sure my parents get their items. We are sitting here waiting after the communication went from “we will call the night before with an ETA” to “well we will call 1 hour before on the day” to us waking up with no communication so reaching out and getting a response “how does 12-2pm sound? Great. It’s 5:17pm and we still haven’t seen the movers. Customer service is terrible, pricing changes. Once Compass contracts it out, you are pretty much at the mercy of some other group who honestly just isn’t going to care at all.
DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. It took them 42 days to deliver my stuff 416 miles.. To make matters worse they also managed to lose a box with irreplaceable items in it. The only thing they were good for was answering the phone and telling me they didn’t know why the delivery was taking so long. Worst moving company of all time. Would rate lower if possible.
Our experience was a nightmare on June 16th
Compass is simply the best I’ve ever worked with - this is my family’s third time using them. Johnny is a great communicator, price came in way under estimate, our movers Dave and Kevin were careful, cheerful, and hard working. Great experience from beginning to end.
Extremely satisfied with recent experience. Staff was efficient, professional and friendly. Recommend.
