# Handle With Care Mover

**Trade:** Moving · **Address:** 75 Douglas St, Revere, MA 02151, USA · **Phone:** (781) 974-0508 · **Languages:** English

**Rating: 2.5/5** (low confidence) — from 3 reviews across 3 sources.

## The honest read

Handle With Care Mover, a Revere sole proprietorship run by owner Christopher Bowes, has been registered since 2012 and lists two employees on its BBB page. Its written record is thin and old — three Google reviews between 2014 and 2020, nothing since.

The two earlier reviews were positive: in 2016, a customer moving from Ann Arbor to Boston said the company quoted the lowest price among the movers they compared and called the experience 100% satisfying; a brief 2014 review called the crew careful. The most recent, a 2020 review, tells a different story — the customer says the estimate quadrupled, the crew arrived three days late, and staff dismissed a refund request; the same review says the company used out-of-state movers who didn't seem invested in its reputation.

BBB gives the business an A+ grade and lists no complaints or government actions, though the page notes it isn't BBB-accredited.

There's no current customer feedback to say which experience is more typical today. Given the gap since 2020 and the split record, it's worth asking directly about crew sourcing, getting a firm written estimate, and confirming who will actually be moving your belongings before booking.

**Strengths:**
- Competitive quote — 2016 review cited the lowest price among movers compared
- Clean BBB record — A+ grade with no complaints or actions listed

**Concerns:**
- Quadrupled pricing — 2020 review said the estimate ballooned to four times quoted
- Late arrival — 2020 review reported showing up three days behind schedule
- Refund refusal — 2020 review said staff dismissed the request
