Space Moving and Storage

Space Moving and Storage is a Waltham company built around Andrei, the owner whose name comes up in review after review — from full-house packs to last-minute rescues booked within a day. The company covers local moves around Boston along with long-distance and out-of-state jobs, plus packing, moving supplies, and storage. The specifics are the kind that stick: a crew that packed a four-bedroom house 'like a game of Tetris' to fit everything into a single room and a shed, another that drove an hour out of its way to help carry an oversized elliptical machine, and one that disassembled and reassembled a complicated bed during a holiday-week move. On a last-minute emergency, the crew booked and packed an entire home for a four-state move within 24 hours; on another out-of-state job they stayed careful and communicative even after getting stuck in highway traffic for hours. A home stager who works with multiple movers professionally says she trusts her own inventory to Andrei's crew specifically. Recent activity keeps the same tone: seven reviews in the past six months, all positive. The written history is not uniform, though, and a real cluster of complaints runs alongside the praise, spread across several years rather than one bad stretch. A 2023 review described being ghosted on a confirmed moving day after paying a deposit — calls, texts, and a full voicemail box went unanswered. A 2022 review described a quoted hourly rate of $99 turning into $106 or more on the actual bill, and a 2025 review described a second booking that felt misleading on price, with an area rug that went missing and was never returned. A 2022 review reported damaged belongings and a bolt cut out of furniture during a move. A 2024 review said the moving crew itself did fine work but specifically warned against using the company's storage service, after a forgotten storage unit turned a two-part move stressful. The Better Business Bureau currently gives the company an F grade. Taken together, this reads as a crew capable of real care and problem-solving on a good day, with a minority of accounts describing pricing surprises, a missed move, or damage that wasn't made right. Anyone booking is well served by getting the hourly rate and any add-on fees in writing, confirming a storage unit is actually reserved if one is needed, and keeping a record of the crew and date booked.
