This was our 3rd time using Brookline Moving. One again, we were more than pleased with their service. Price is fair. Quote I received was 1/3 the price of quote from gentle giant. Service was prompt, efficient and communication was excellent. I would highly recommend them for all your moving needs, big or small.

They were amazing! Professional, great problem solvers, and courteous! The stairs to my upstairs comes right to the front door. At first it looked bad. But the three of them problem solved the turn, removed some decorative features, and navigated it smoothly. All the pieces are back on, (except one that needs to glued, but that was a cold problem, and I have the piece.) the piano is in place! They asked if I had cups for the piano feet which I did but had forgotten, and they put them on as well.

I used another company before these 2 moves so I have a basis for comparison. The Brookline team was polite, professional, and very helpful. Quote and pricing was less than other services I checked into. Everything was moved carefully and placed where I wanted it, the furniture etc. that was stored was in excellent condition. The entire process, from initial phone call to final move went very smoothly.
Description of Work: I moved out of an apartment to another apartment for 6 weeks. Brookine stored some furniture and boxes, and later moved everything into a house.

We had previously moved across country numerous times including three times in the past five years with a lot of upscale furniture into homes of up to 6,000 sq ft. After a bad experience with another national company during a recent move, Mayflower provided unexpected assistance. We were so impressed with Mayflower that we will never use any other moving company. So our last two moves were with Mayflower. We are absolutely convinced that only Mayflower has the very best movers bar none. Our last move with Brookline was the very best experience we have ever had as George Rohlfing in particular and everyone else at the company in general from the office personnel to the packers to the movers to the driver far exceeded even our very high expectations. George and everyone else went far out of their way to accommodate us in ways that even we never expected. In Boston don't even consider any other company than BTI. Elsewhere throughout the country don't consider any mover other than a Mayflower.
Description of Work: Brookline Transportation Co., Inc., an Agent for Mayflower Transit at 301 Winter Street, Boston (Hanover) MA 02339 at 617-361-8700 or 617-320-6081 moved us from Carlisle, Massachusetts to Naples, Florida.

Both moves went very well. Movers were polite, helpful, efficient. These movers were remarkably better than a company I used for a smaller move about 2 years earlier. The rates were better, also. For comparison, movers NOT Brooklline, rushed through, asked politely for a tip, then stood around for 20 - 30 minutes before leaving for the next assignment. Brookline movers were completely professional, on time, careful with everything. Conscientious hard workers.

Everything went great. We used Brookline Moving Co. last year for our daughter's first move to the city. We were so happy with how smoothly everything went, we used them again this year, and will use them the next time she will need to move. The two young men that did our move were very nice, personable, and worked really hard to make sure we were happy.

Couldn't have asked for it to be more smooth. They were punctual, friendly, careful and easy to work with. I am very glad I used them for my small move. One of the selling points for me was their fast and professional response when I emailed them a message through Angie's List. They were not only one of the first to respond within hours of my message, but they provided a detailed estimate of services so I could see what the cost would be. It confirmed all the information including date and time anticipated for the move. Very handy to have all the details spelled out in a pdf that I could print and read at my leisure.
Description of Work: I needed to have a couch, loveseat, 2 ottomans, 2 bureaus and 2 end tables moved.

I got their names through Angie's List. Of all the companies I've looked at, they've been the highest price. I'm going to ask them for another bid so I'm working with them right now. There were some staging storage issues, then a second move from storage to Pennsylvania.

Response from Brookline Moving Co
[Member Name Removed], Thank you for business and your review. Both are truly appreciated. Let me start by saying our goal was to leave you completely satisfied with our services. If we did not do so, I apologize and am willing to work with until you are. However, I am slightly confused by your review. The grades and comments do not seem to align with each other. Nor does my personal experience of having been present during your relocation seem to align with the comments. Please know, I have found this confusion to be common in reviews that are “transcribed from a telephone interview” as yours was. In a grading system where I believe an "A" = excellent service, "B" = above average service and "C" = average service, we constantly strive to earn only "A"'s from all of our customers. I regret that we were not successful in doing such when handling your relocation. “A”’s are the goal, but your overall rating of “B” is a reminder that there is always room for improvement. This is truly evident in your “C” rating of our quality. An average rating is disappointing to receive; being only average is just not acceptable to me or anyone at our company. Please let me apologize for having provided services that you would grade only as average. In addition, I notice that next to “Hire Again: “ it says “No”. Hopefully, you answered in the negative because you are not planning to relocate rather than you are not willing to utilize our services again. As for your comments, you state: “They were not so good. It took them along time to do the move and they could not even bring up some items where we wanted them so they were nice but not so good.” I am hoping and assuming that something got lost in the translation when “transcribed from a telephone interview”. Your comment states “not so good”, which is your prerogative if you truly feel this way. But, I was surprised to read this as both you and your husband expressed such satisfaction to me personally upon completion of the services. Your comment also states “took a long time”. I concur. But it only took the time necessary to safely deliver your property within your home while protecting the property and home from damage. I and the other men present worked non-stop from beginning to end. Also, this job was billed hourly, and the bill for services included all the time it took and you gave us an “A” grade regarding price. Your comment further states “they could not even bring up some items where we wanted them”. I do recall, when arriving at the destination address, initially stating that some items may not fit or would be challenging due to the low overhead and generally limiting egress of the first interior staircase. However, from memory, I thought all items made this turn. Maybe something didn’t fit up the third floor staircase due to the small landing at the foot of those stairs. I thought everything did. But, I do know this, if it was humanly possible, we delivered everything exactly where you wanted it. If something didn’t fit somewhere, due to the item’s overall girth or the limitations of egress, although possibly upsetting to you, it would not be our fault. We are only movers, albeit very skilled and knowledgeable, we are not magicians. Before leaving your new home, we walked room by room with you, your husband or both and verified exact placement of all furniture, boxes, etc. to your satisfaction. Finally, your comment states” they were nice but not so good.” I can attest to the “nice”, but I must respectfully disagree with the “not so good”. Hopefully, you are satisfied with our services and the confusion I have is all only a result of your review having been “transcribed from a telephone interview”. Again, let me stress, our goal was to leave you completely satisfied with our services. If we did not do so, for any reason at all, I apologize and am willing to work with until you are. Please know that in any event, your review will have a positive effect on our company. We will use it as motivation in our quest for continuous improvement. Should you ever need assistance with relocation services in the future, do not hesitate to contact us. If you do “Hire Again“, we will do everything possible to provide you with services that you will believe are worthy of an “A” grade for excellent service. Thanks again for both your business and your review.

Pricing was very competitive. The movers are employees of the moving company. They do not go out and get temporary hires and that is what I liked. They are very professional and very helpful.
Description of Work: They moved me twice. Recently I moved from home to an apartment for 6 weeks and so I wanted them to get all my stuff there which was for no charge and then they moved all of my things to the warehouse and then from the warehouse to my new home. The price includes to store all my things in the warehouse for 6 weeks.

We required a small move of out son's furniture/rugs (~8-10 pieces) and his packing boxes and clothing (~30 boxes) from our house in Carlisle MA to his new apartment in Boston MA. Arrived on time. Good communications, good packing and loading as well as unloading in Boston, and use of elevator to get to upper level apartment. Recommend them for this type of move. Good pricing as well.
Description of Work: Provided truck and movers and moved furniture/rugs, packing boxes, and cloths (~30 pieces) from our house in Carlisle Ma to son's new apartment in Boston, MA. Brookline Moving provided a truck and two movers, who were punctual and very efficient. They also provided wardrobe boxes for his cloths. The move went smoothly, they very quickly wrapped several pieces of furniture and packed the truck and tied down the contents. The unloading in Boston also went very well and the movers worked well with the building security personnel. Very efficiently unloaded the truck and moved the contents via a small elevator to the third floor and into the apartment. They also assisted with locating the furniture in the various rooms in apartment and removing t

I was not impressed with this company and its procedures. I would think any moving company would want to see a location and evaluate the contents of the home in person to give an accurate and realistic quote. Do they know I live in a 3 story townhouse? Do they know what they would have to carry down multiple flights of stairs?
Description of Work: They spoke with me on the telephone, had me complete an inventory of my goods in the home, and then e-mailed me a quote.

Very impressive. Nothing broken. Nothing lost. Piano moved successfully. And every one of the movers was exceptionally pleasant. I really think they went above and beyond in a number of instances. They even came back later and removed all the boxes. I should mention that we contracted with them to pack everything and to unpack some. The packing was really well done. They even individually wrapped my daughters tiny tea sets. Very nice. Highly recommend.

This office move went great. This move was being coordinated from thousands of miles away and they made it easy. They agreed to pick up additional office furniture on the way to the office that we were moving from. When they got there, the team was careful, thoughtful in how they packed and efficient in getting things done. When arriving at the location we were moving to, they took out all the furniture and set it up as requested. This included hanging pictures and corkboard. When the team went to hang an overhead storage unit, they discovered that there weren't any studs in the wall that would be able to support the unit. With the approval of our furniture vendor for a return, the team offered to take the storage unit back to the vendor. Problem solved. This was about a seamless a move as I could have dreamed of. They are wonderful and I would use them again and again!
