Nova Moving & Delivery Services

Nova Moving & Delivery Services is a Danvers-based mover with a second office in Somerville, working towns across the North Shore and Greater Boston — Salem, Peabody, Cambridge, Medford, Malden, and dozens more, by its own account. It handles local moves, long-distance runs, packing, furniture delivery and assembly, and some warehousing on the side. The clearest recent account describes two movers, Vitaly and Alex, working carefully through a move — wrapping and securing everything in transit, and even suggesting a better-fitting storage unit afterward rather than just dropping the customer's things off. That kind of specific, name-checked praise sits on top of years of reviews: Google puts the company at 4.4 stars from 26 ratings, and an independent moving-review site separately scores it 6.91 out of 10, rating 'Quality' as its strongest category. It isn't a spotless history, though. A couple of older reviews raise real concerns worth asking about directly: one describes a quote that came with add-on charges for supplies and per-appliance fees not mentioned on the phone, and another describes being told a written quote was coming and then never hearing back. Neither is recent, but they're the kind of thing worth pinning down in writing before moving day — get the full, itemized price, including any supply or appliance fees, before you commit. For a local North Shore move where the crew's care with your things matters more than a bare-bones price, Nova is worth a call — just get everything they'll charge for spelled out up front.
