Preferred Movers MA runs its Merrimac operation the way its 4.9-star average from 536 Google ratings would suggest: reviewers keep circling back to the same handful of names and the same theme — crews that move fast without getting careless. In the past few weeks alone, Eric's team packed and loaded a home so efficiently the job finished faster than estimated, with every fragile piece wrapped and secured; a customer moving out of a two-bedroom apartment down two flights of stairs praised how attentively the crew asked what went where; and a three-person crew packed an entire two-bedroom's worth of belongings into a POD the customer worried wouldn't all fit. Travis shows up across several recent reviews, both running crews on residential moves and leading an office relocation where the reviewer described the whole team as having a "get it done" mentality from start to finish. None of the last twelve reviews here are negative, and that streak sits on top of a much longer track record — over 400 reviews stretching back to 2021 across two platforms, the large majority of them five stars. That history isn't spotless: one review from the past year describes furniture arriving damaged and a bed's disassembled hardware going missing, with the reviewer noting the crew skipped the blanket-wrapping they'd seen from movers in the past. It's an outlier against hundreds of reviews praising exactly that kind of careful handling, but it's a real data point worth knowing, especially if you have furniture you'd want fully padded rather than just carried. Preferred Movers handles everything from local apartment moves to office relocations and long-distance jobs, and the recent reviews span all three without a dip in tone. If you're moving nearby or across state lines, this is a well-established, heavily reviewed option — just ask directly about their wrapping and padding process for anything fragile or easily scratched, especially if a move involves any storage gap between pickup and delivery.

Had a great experience with Preferred Movers moving out of a 2 bedroom apartment with two flights of steps into a home. Very attentive asking what goes where and packing things up securely. Would recommend and would use again.

Eric and his team provided an exceptional moving and packing experience. They arrived exactly on time, brought all the necessary quality packing materials, and worked with incredible efficiency.<br>Every fragile item was carefully wrapped and secured, and large furniture was protected perfectly against scratches or damage. The loading and unloading process was smooth, organized, and completed faster than estimated.<br>Eric is highly professional, communicative, and handles items with genuine care. The pricing was transparent with no hidden fees. I highly recommend his services to anyone looking for a stress-free move.
