Response from Brookline Moving Co
[Member Name Removed], Thank you for business and your review. Both are truly appreciated. 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 professionalism. 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. I have found this confusion to be common in reviews that are “transcribed from a telephone interview” as yours was. Please know that 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.

[Member Name Removed], Thank you for your business and your review. We are happy we could assist you with your initial storage needs and your ultimate relocation to your new home. Congrats on finding such a big, beautiful single family home. Without hardly effecting your commuting time at all, (ha ha). Also, thank you for working with me on resolving our initial "issues". It is always a pleasure working with reasonable people such as yourself. I am sure you are planning on staying put for a while, but if we can ever be of further assistance, do not hesitate to call on us. Thanks again for your business and review.

Description of Work: I have used Brookline Moving Co. a number of times for our homes in Boston and Cape Cod and I highly recommend them. Their attention to on time arrival, fantastic service, quality work and excellent staff ensures a great experience. |Patrick, the General Manager, and Patrick, his son, who headed up the moving, storage, packing and unpacking team were wonderful to do business with. The administrative team at the office made everything flow and I would definitely use them again. |Our most recent use of their services was the moving and storage of some of our furniture in Boston as we renovated the interior. The work they did was impeccable. All soft furnishings were shrink wrapped, art was padded and wrapped and all was returned in perfect condition. I was thrilled! They made it so easy and everyone was a pleasure to deal with. |I highly recommend their services. |

Description of Work: They moved me from a 4500square foot home to a 2300square foot condo. They were excellent! They handled all my furniture and belongings as if they were all labeled fragile handle with care. They were respectful and professional and creative in the way they wrapped and boxed and moved my the items in my household to a much smaller condo. They were on time and they did not stop until the job was done. As well as they stayed to they estimated cost. I would highly recommend them!

Description of Work: Moved our apartment into storage for 4 weeks and then delivered to new address. Came unprepared to wrap and pack items, roughly handled many items, many nicks and poorly handled. Office did not explain various insurance options or much of anything, broke a valuable lamp they will pay to fix. This was not the experience we had been expecting. Very disappointed.

Description of Work: The scheduling process is very easy and the movers arrived on time. I think the only thing was that I felt a bulk of the work was done between 2 of the movers. Overall, a fair and good service. |

Description of Work: I contacted Brookline Moving after finding them on Angies List. Of the four firms I contacted they were by far the most responsive, and they had the most reasonable pricing. Patrick was prompt, professional and thorough when he arrived to provide an estimate. When he and his crew arrived to pack up, they were a pleasure to work with. Aside from their efficiency and care, I truly appreciated the way the crew worked together. They made a tedious job fun. Patrick, his crew and Neil (in the office) were tasked with packing up a relatives estate. I could only provide them with my best guess of how things would be split between several destinations. They were patient, helpful and well organized in dealing with a fluid situation. They went the extra mile and I would definitely give them a call again.

Response from Brookline Moving Co
Thank you very much for taking the time to provide your feedback and review of our services. We are glad that we were able to accommodate all of your specific needs; Pick up on a holiday week end, store for three months free of charge, access storage to measure and take photos of goods and finally redeliver to a third party. We will probably never forget that delivery to your sister in law or that table as long as we live. The 5 men involved on that delivery collectively have well over 100 years of moving industry experience. All of them agree that your dining room table was by far the largest and the heaviest table they have ever seen and/or moved. With its massive size, solid wood top, built in lights, metal reinforcements and permanent base that table would be difficult to simply move within a room. However, the multiple outside flights of stairs, the egress limiting effect of the shrubs and railings, and the size restraints of the front door and foyer truly presented us with quite a challenge. But we love to be challenged! We are so pleased to read your description of the crew as “very professional and responsive” and your feedback that “they took care handling our items and were very friendly.” Thanks again for your business and your kind words; they are both truly appreciated.

Description of Work: Excellent experience. The job was small--moving less than 20 items from Boston to Portland, Maine. I called several moving companies, and Brookline Moving was the first that was interested. On the day of the move, March 21, the movers called just before arriving, so my husband was ready for them. The items were loaded, fragile ones safely padded, and the truck was on its way in less than an hour. As they approached my home in Portland, they gave me a call, so I could get things in order. Thanks Javier and Michael for taking care of my stuff and getting it to Maine!

SHOWED UP AN HOUR LATE WITH NO PHONE CALL TO NOTIFY US. THEY SENT A CREW OF 3, WHO BEGAN PACKING IN ERNEST AFTER SOME PRELIMINARY WORK HAVING BEEN DONE THE DAY BEFORE. SIX MORE MOVERS SHOWED UP LATER, & THIS MANY MOVERS IN MY APARTMENT FELT VERY CHAOTIC. IT WAS TIRING & FRUSTRATING. THE MOVERS WERE PLEASANT & HARD WORKING, BUT NOT WELL PLANNED, & NOT EFFICIENT. THIS WAS MORE WORK & CONFUSION THAN WHEN A TEAM OF TWO PEOPLE MOVED ME IN. THE COST WAS SIGNIFICANTLY MORE THAN I WAS QUOTED.

AS A CUSTOMER, YOU MUST ALSO DECIDE WHETHER 3 MOVERS WOULD BE MORE COST EFFECTIVE THAN 2.
Description of Work: THIS WAS AN AFTERNOON MOVE, AND THE OWNER WAS VERY COOPERATIVE IN COMMUNICATING ESTIMATED AFTERNOON ARRIVAL TIME. AT DESTINATION BUILDING, MOVERS NEGOTIATED WITH OTHER MOVERS AT BUILDING FOR SHARING ELEVATOR- OF COURSE THIS SLOWED JOB.

Thank you for your business and your comments. We do try to estimate arrival time to the best of our ability. Sometimes unexpected events/circumstances, such as sharing the elevator with another mover, etc. do occur. We always try to work things out in the best manner possible for our customers. Also, based on the scope of a given move, we can usually make a solid recommendation as to which crew will work best.
