Cratos Moving is a Chestnut Hill mover that runs a dedicated Boston-New York route on top of local moves, packing, storage, and specialty jobs like pianos, art, and white-glove handling; the company says it's been in business more than 10 years. Thirty-two Google reviews, most of them five stars and running from 2021 to this year, describe fast, careful crews. A 2024 review of an interstate move leaving Boston says the furniture arrived a day ahead of the quoted timeline with no surprises; a 2023 review describes a last-minute move that got scheduled and finished the same day after a 10:30 AM call. A 2025 review names two specific movers, Cristian and Yobani, for packing fast and exactly to instructions. Two things are worth flagging before booking. First, a 2024 review says the crew simply never showed up for a confirmed move -- no call, email, or text -- which the reviewer called very unprofessional. Second, a 2021 five-star review posted to this business's page actually describes a different company by name, "Move and Care," not Cratos -- worth keeping in mind given how many of the other reviews share the same brief, similar-toned phrasing ("professional, prompt, careful") without much specific detail behind them. The BBB, HomeAdvisor, Angie's List and Thumbtack badges on its site are all self-reported, not independently confirmed here. Worth a call for the specialty moves -- pianos, art, the Boston-New York run -- but get the pickup window and a contact name confirmed in writing given the one no-show account.

Moving my parents into their new home felt overwhelming, but Cratos Moving made the entire experience much easier. The crew was kind, respectful, and incredibly patient, taking extra care to make sure my parents were comfortable every step of the way. They handled every item with care, communicated clearly, and never made us feel rushed. Their professionalism and genuine compassion turned what could have been a stressful day into a smooth and reassuring experience.
Cristian and Yobani were absolutely amazing. They helped me pack exactly like I wanted super fast and very easily understood my instructions. They overdelivered on speed, care and energy. Lovely guys!
DO NOT do business with these movers. I received a quote from them, confirmed the move by phone and they never showed up for the move. I received no phone call from them, no email and no text that they wouldn’t be coming that morning. Very unprofessional. I do not recommend them at all.
We used Cratos moving for an interstate move leaving Boston and they were prompt, professional, and very easy to communicate with. They also were able to get our furniture there a day earlier than other moving companies had quoted. No surprises on the day of the move and they were very efficient.
They are very helpful and polite.I am satisfied with the service.
