Tobin & Sons Moving & Storage Inc

Tobin & Sons has been moving households, labs, and offices out of Beverly, Salem, and Peabody since 1960, and the company says it's now run by a third generation of the Tobin family. It's a certified Bekins interstate agent, and its own site points to lab relocation as a specialty, work it says it has done for biotech and academic clients. Independent reviews outside its own site tell a rougher story. One directory reviewer called it the worst moving company they'd ever used. Another reviewer, after a move that involved a temporary storage stint during a condo renovation, says a box of decades of family photos was never recovered. A third account describes a quoted price that rose by hundreds of dollars mid-move. A moving-industry tracker independently rates the company below average, and a moving-scam discussion forum raises unresolved questions about its dealings. On Google itself, the only rating on file is a single one-star review, describing a company truck driver behaving aggressively toward pedestrians. None of that squares easily with a business now in its seventh decade, and the accounts here come from several different, independent sources rather than one complaint repeated. If you're considering Tobin & Sons for a lab, office, or household move, ask directly about how they handle temporary storage and mid-move price changes, and get any quote in writing before booking.
