Octopus Moving and Storage

Octopus Moving and Storage is a Boston-based full-service mover, offering local, long-distance, and specialty moving — including piano and white-glove service — with additional locations in Rhode Island, North Carolina, and Chicago. The company says its movers are directly supervised by the owner and are full-time employees rather than day labor. Every review on file is five stars — 29 in total, matching its 5-star Google rating from 29 ratings — and reviewers keep returning to the same specifics: accurate quotes with no hidden fees, careful handling of furniture on tight staircases and 4th-floor walk-ups, and same-day or last-minute availability when a booking fell through elsewhere. Several customers mention hiring the crew more than once, including one who used them for two different Boston apartment moves. In 2024 reviews, movers Sasha and Javier were repeatedly named and praised as fast and professional, and one 2024 review described a Boston-to-Los-Angeles long-distance move at a competitive flat rate, with belongings arriving in good condition. There's nothing negative to weigh against that — no complaints or disputes turn up anywhere in the reviews. Given the company operates across several metro areas, it's worth confirming which local crew and pricing structure applies to a specific move, especially anything long-distance or outside the Boston core. For a straightforward local move, a tricky walk-up, or a longer relocation, Octopus looks like a solid call based on a small but entirely positive track record — worth booking early, since several reviewers describe coming back for a second move.
