Description of Work: Rare Movers was amazing! I was moving from Quincy to Weymouth. They were on the expensive side of the quotes for a 1-bedroom apartment, but they did not charge for extras like wrapping furniture. And the price was exactly the quote--no extra charges. They arrived about 15 minutes ahead of schedule and started working immediately. They took care of my things like they were museum pieces--they wrapped all the furniture in blankets and carefully moved everything down 3 flights of stairs. Nothing was broken when I unpacked. I would definitely use them again for my next move!!

Description of Work: Rare moving and packing sent a 3 men crew to pack my apartment on short notice and they did a great job. All 3 crew members were polite, professional and a lot of fun to work with. All our belongings were packed well and survived the later move intact. | |They were very attentive to how we wanted things boxed and organized so that everything arrived in exactly the right rooms on the other end. | |High marks for RARE!

Description of Work: Larry and his team did a wonderful job of moving us from our condo in Beacon Hill to Marblehead. They were timely, very careful, incredibly hard working, and friendly. We could not have asked for a better team, particularly at half the price of Gentle Giant!

Response from RARE Moving & Storage
Dear Future Angie's List Clients, There are many jobs that I have done over my twenty-three summers, physically working on the trucks as a mover. On this given day, my team arrived on time and during the initial walk through we realized how unprepared to move this client was. It is fair to say they were 50% packed and ready to move. Upon clearing out as much of the packed boxes as were ready, my guys immediately asked and it was agreed on that the client was overwhelmed and tired and needed assistance to complete the move. My five man team spent the next four hours completing the pack and loading the truck to expedite the move. Even after the downpour of rain began and both trucks were offloaded, the RARE team was only over the estimate by thirty minutes. I do not quite understand the reason for the review given us since the client gave each member of the move an extremely generous gratuity. I know as the team leader/mover/owner I am disappointed in the review and will continue to maintain the RARE quality of work that we embody as a company. Thank you, Kamaul Reid Owner

Description of Work: Rare movers are the best. They did a local move from a condo to a one family house. I had two packers the day before and a four person team with two trucks the day of the move. Packing was done superbly well not a scratch on our belongings. Crew the day of the move had the best attitude. They were done ahead of schedule and below estimated cost.
