Milvus Moving [Boston movers] [Boston to New York movers]

Milvus Moving carried a household down a third-floor North End walk-up with no elevator in October 2025, and the customer said the crew handled the tight stairways without complaining once. In April 2026 another customer moved from Quincy to Somerville and said not a single item came out scratched or damaged. The company is based on Middlesex Circle in Waltham and describes itself as a family-owned local and long-distance residential and commercial mover with storage, offering packing, white-glove, piano and specialty moving. Its own site lists a service area far beyond Massachusetts: Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Washington, Baltimore, Jersey City, Atlanta, Durham, Cleveland, Chicago, Burlington, Albuquerque and Augusta. The same site states that the business is a BBB Accredited Business and a Thumbtack Professional Mover for 2024. Furniture gets wrapped. In November 2022 a customer said every piece was wrapped before it moved and an expensive piano came through fine. In December 2022 an office client said the crew arrived on time, helped pack everything up and had the new office running quickly. In September 2021 a customer with one old wardrobe to shift to a Brookline apartment said they got a reply the same day and a small truck for the job. Individual movers get named — Carlos coordinating a June 2022 move, Trevor and his crew that same month. Price is where the accounts diverge. In November 2022 a customer wrote that the prices sit on the higher end and that plenty of people can't afford them, while adding that the service was worth what it cost. That August another said the pricing looked high at first but worked out cheaper than any other company they priced. December 2023 and March 2023 customers simply called the rates affordable. Get a written quote against your actual inventory before you compare. Two entries dated 3 October 2023 are written in the company's own marketing voice rather than a customer's — one opens "We handle Our experienced team ensures a secure move every time", the other is a services blurb with a happy sign-off. The rest of the written history runs 2021 to April 2026, alongside a 4.8-star Google average across 90 ratings. Milvus is a reasonable call for a Boston-area move with stairs, a piano, or a full packing service, and for a long run down the East Coast. Confirm the hourly or flat rate, the travel charge, and what the valuation coverage actually pays if something is damaged.
