Sixty-one people reviewed Olympia Moving & Storage in the last six months, and none of them complained. For an outfit running everything from third-floor walk-ups to biotech relocations, that is a hard number to argue with. Olympia works out of Bridge Street in Watertown and has been accredited by the Better Business Bureau since September 1994, where it carries an A+. Its Google page sits at 4.7 across 530 ratings. The service list runs wide: local, interstate and international moves, full-service storage, packing, piano and specialty moving, corporate relocation, biotech moving and furniture installation. What sets it apart in the reviews is not the trucks, it is the office. Customers name the people who planned the job as often as the ones carrying boxes — Candy and Ida coordinating, Mac and Eddie handling quotes, Andre, Chris and Jarid running crews. Several describe a video walkthrough of the house before any price was quoted; a July 2026 customer went from a FaceTime survey straight through move day, and a February 2026 customer said the estimator joined a virtual tour and asked pointed questions about both addresses. That detail matters, because in a 2022 r/boston thread a customer's one gripe was exactly the opposite: nobody came out to size up how much there was, and loading ran long as a result. The demanding jobs are where the pattern holds. In June 2026 an engineering firm moved out of a second-floor North Andover office with no elevator. In May 2026 a customer went from a third floor to a first floor in the same elevator-less building in just under three hours. A July 2026 reviewer who had done multiple cross-country moves said this one arrived on time and on budget with efficient pack and unpack. Another June 2026 crew stayed several hours past the end of a delayed day to finish. Three things to settle before signing. In August 2025 a customer wrote that the company avoided paying under the valuation coverage they had bought for items that were broken — so pin down what that coverage actually buys and how a claim gets filed. In December 2025 a customer described a crew member answering a request to work faster with profanity. And in May 2024 a customer with a smaller local move felt it drew less attention than a larger job would have. For a large or complicated move — an office, an interstate haul, a house with stairs and no elevator — the last six months of history here are consistent and specific. Get the coverage terms and claims process in writing, and take the video survey seriously: the estimate accuracy customers keep praising depends on it.

“We used Olympia for a move to storage and back a few years ago. Overall it was good, but it took a lot longer than planned to load, because they didn’t come out in person to see how much stuff we really had.”

I had a great experience with Olympia. They moved kitchen equipment with ease, in a situation that I thought would be very challenging.

What a great team! This is our second move with Olympia. Both times, the team has been professional, efficient, concientious and careful. If we move again, Olympia is my only call. Thanks Ron, Miraslav and Dwight!
