LEXEL Movers - TOP Long Distance Moving & Storage

Lexel Moving works out of Boston, with additional offices in Waltham, MA and New York, NY, and co-founder Alex Lendel still listed on the company's own site. It says it's been in business about a decade, handling everything from local Boston-area moves to long-distance and interstate relocations, plus specialty work like fine art and antiques. The clearest current signal is 99 Google ratings averaging 4.7, and the last several months of reviews back that up: crews get singled out by name for wrapping glass furniture and full kitchens without damage, and for showing up with a flat-rate quote that held steady through a 110-mile move from Connecticut to Boston. Independent scoring sites tell a similar story — movebuddha puts the company at 4.4 out of 5 with 90% positive reviews across roughly 398 total ratings, and a separate directory explicitly notes Lexel is an independent mover rather than a franchise or a broker, which matters in an industry where subcontracted brokers are a common source of complaints. The history isn't spotless, though. A handful of older reviews describe real problems: one customer said the crew added an unrequested extra mover on moving day and pressured them into signing a new contract before continuing, another accused the company of withholding a family member's furniture and threatening to leave it on the curb, and a 2021 review described movers skipping masks and leaving items behind. None of that shows up in the eight most recent reviews, which are uniformly positive, but it's specific enough and serious enough to ask about directly — get the crew size and total cost confirmed in writing before moving day. One more thing worth flagging: Trustpilot shows a noticeably lower 2.8 out of 5, though from a small number of reviews, in contrast to the 4.4-4.7 range everywhere else. For a straightforward local or long-distance move, especially one involving fragile or valuable items, the recent track record here is strong. Get the final headcount and price locked in before the truck arrives, and ask directly how they'd handle a dispute if one came up — the older reviews suggest that's the one area worth pressure-testing.
