Born to Move Movers is a Newton, MA-based full-service moving and storage company that its site says has grown into a multi-city operator with hubs across New England, New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Houston, San Francisco, Connecticut, Miami, and Washington, DC, run by founder and CEO Dmitrii Malashkin — though the site gives two different founding years, 2015 and 2016, on different pages. Google shows the company at 4.8 stars from 1,085 ratings, and dozens of 2026 reviews name specific crews for careful, efficient work, including multi-day interstate moves and last-minute bookings filled within an hour of a cancellation elsewhere. Several reviewers describe using the company more than once over the years. The written record also holds a sizable, recurring cluster of serious complaints, concentrated on interstate moves and post-move claims. A June 2026 review titled its account a "bait-and-switch," describing a returning customer's booked interstate price changing at the last minute, and a May 2026 review described a similar experience — a flat-rate quote that changed once the crew arrived and reviewed the job. A June 2026 review described the company canceling a scheduled move three days beforehand, leaving the customer scrambling for a replacement. Damage claims come up repeatedly too: a January 2026 review described a claim for two damaged TVs denied months later on the grounds the items were "accepted as is," even though they'd never been unwrapped, and a June 2025 review described missing bed and bookcase parts that made the furniture unusable, with the company going silent when asked how to resolve it. Other reviews describe a truck too small for a three-bedroom move, a quote that turned out not to include travel time despite being told otherwise, and a crew arriving three hours late despite repeated reassurance calls. For a straightforward local move, the volume of positive, specific reviews here is real. But the pattern in the negative accounts — concentrated on interstate pricing and how damage claims get handled — is serious enough to take seriously: get any interstate quote fully itemized and confirmed in writing, and ask directly how a damage claim would be handled before booking.
