Wakefield Moving & Storage, Inc.

Wakefield Moving & Storage is a Peabody-based moving and storage company, but its own website makes clear it isn't really built for household moves — it describes itself as serving offices, universities, hospitals, laboratories, and other institutions, with residential moving listed only as one contact-form option. The company says it dates back to 1959 and is now part of Tobin Scientific, which its site credits with expanding its storage space to more than 600,000 square feet and its fleet to 50 trucks. Its BBB profile tells a different origin story — 22 years in business, starting in 2004, across two Massachusetts locations (Peabody and Beverly), with Randy Davekos listed as president. On Google, it holds a 4-star average, though from just 10 ratings. The one written complaint on file, from a moving-industry forum, actually names a different company — Allied — not Wakefield, so it doesn't tell you anything about this business specifically. It isn't BBB accredited and has no BBB rating. And the two histories don't line up — 1959 by the company's own account, 2004 by BBB's — worth asking about if a long operating history matters to you. This is a better fit for an office, lab, or institutional relocation than a typical household move; if you do want them for a home move, confirm upfront that they'll take it on and what that arrangement looks like.
