I have used them two or three times. It was really cheap. They gave me a huge discount. It usually is $139, I think and I got it for $79. It was customer appreciation because I had used them in the past and because I referred people to them and used them myself several times. I would never use another moving company in my life as long as they are in business. And if somebody asked me I would definitely tell them to go there.
Description of Work: For moving I have used Oscar's Moving. I hired them to move. They did some set up, too.

The three movers were courteous, efficient and patient. We were still packing when they came and they helped out. They bid far less (up to half as much) than other companies and did a great job.

They were a great team. It was a hot day and I have an asphalt driveway. They left an indentation on the asphalt. They should have left aboard down. I didn't realize it until they were gone. The price was reasonable. They were a rare moving company. They were competitive. The quality was an A. They did a good job of moving our furniture and getting it in to the house. They got back to me. They were on time. Their professionalism was fine. They were good enough.
Description of Work: They moved me about 15 miles.

It was an odd situation and I wasn't entirely clear if I was being ripped off or not. I was coming down from Cambridge and I got delayed. I wasn't right behind them, and when I got here they weren't here. I wasn't totally clear if they had been here or not. I called the office and somebody said that they should be right along, it had been several hours. They called the driver and they were here in three minutes. The people were very nice. They helped me with a couple of things that were in the wrong place and they move them. They couldn't figure out where to put the boxes, there was a language barrier. A friend was helping me that spoke Spanish and he helped give directions. Things weren't broken or missing, so that part was good. I think it took longer than it needed too because of the language barrier. It didn't occur to me until later that it would have been a big help. They left in a U-haul truck and that bothered me. I thought they were cheaper than the other estimates that I got. I thought they did a good job.

The service provided was excellent. We had a crew of 7 people on the first day to move our belongings from our home to a new home over 50 miles away. The crew was very respectful of the furniture and our home to make sure nothing was damaged and even helped pack a few items that we couldn't get to. The foreman answered all of our questions and was very attentive to our concerns. All the boxes and furniture were brought into our new home. We appreciated their patience as they waited for one of us to determine which of the rooms each box and piece of furniture would be placed. On the second day there were 4 movers with the same foreman which made what could have been a difficult move go very smoothly. They moved two storage units to our new home and when it was determined that there would be a shortage of space they took the excess furniture to a new smaller storage facility close to our new home. In addition, the foreman had great suggestions about how to place the things in our home so we would have an easier time un-packing all of the boxes. The move came in under budget because of the speed and hard work of the entire moving team. We considered their service to be top notch and have already referred their services to some people that we know.
Description of Work: We had a fairly large move that took two days. One day one our belongs from our home was moved to our new home. On day two belongs from our storage facility was moved to our new house.

Making the arrangements was a snap (we called about four weeks in advance to reserve the date). On moving day, the crew showed up exactly on time. It's amazing how hard these guys work. We identified specific pieces of furniture that were particularly important to us, and they did a great job of taking care of them. The job was done in about the time that was predicted so the cost estimate was close to the final bill. We enjoyed working with the crew (Miguel, Shaq and Oscar). They were courteous and professional, and everything was delivered in great shape. The price was great, too!

Amazing - the guys worked so hard, were conscientious and careful. Very professional. Would check in with me continuously to make sure things ended up in the proper location. Would highly recommend them.
Description of Work: Oscars helped coordinate a complex move - I had to be out of my old house 2 days before closing on my new house. They stored my items on the truck for 2 nights, then delivered and unloaded at the new house. They did some of the packing, as well.

Very disappointed. Numerous attempts made to obtain total price, but additional costs were buried in "Special Conditions" and were not contained in Oscar's estimated price. Workers used more supplies (tape, etc) than necessary. Also, we discovered several significant scratches in the center/face of our cherry entertainment center furniture after the workers departed.

Response from Oscar's Moving Co
Hi [Member name removed] As I discussed with you by phone, and you acknowledged, the costs you are referring to for storing your items overnight in the truck were in plan view and full size font right on the documents you were sent ahead of your move - documents which you signed, indicating you had read and agreed to. It is not true that the costs for overnight storage are "buried" on those documents. I am sorry that you did not see them. We NEVER try to hide or bury costs. That is NOT how we operate our business! When you explained to me that you must not have noticed that charge on the document you read and signed days ahead of your move, I offered to cut that charge in half, even though we did provide that service to you and we did incur the costs of providing that service to you. I am disheartened that you still chose to give us a poor review. Regarding the damages you mention - while we try our hardest to avoid damaging any customer's item, sometimes it happens. However, you did not inform us of those damages. Had you informed us, we would have taken every possible step to rectify the damages, as we do with all customers that experience any damages. Those steps include repairing the damages and if needed paying out for the damages through the whichever of the various insurance options you opted for. Since you never reported those damages to us, I feel you are being unfair by adding that to your review while never having given us the chance to handle your damages! Again, Oscar's Moving Company stands by all of our work. We stand by all of our procedures for outlining and making clear our charges. We are not in the business of deceiving anyone, ever. We are not in the business of hiding anything at all about our fees. In fact, if anyone reading this would like to see a copy of the outline of service charges document that Stephen and Lonna were given, please contact us at sales@oscarsmovingcompany.com and we would be more than happy to provide that document to you.

They packed large TV and some mirrors. They wrapped all furniture in a 4 bedroom house. I had packed the rest. Moving was done in one day with one large truck. and 4 men. They even set up 2 bedrooms to be used the night of the move. Very dependable! I also gave them $350 gratuity.

Over all it went very well. I would recommend Oscars to anyone needing courteous, careful movers to do the job right. Details: They showed up on time, after reviewing what needed to be moved they started to load the trucks. They also finished packing the kitchen (no broken items when unpacked!) and assorted items throughout the house. While we had planned to just do the household items, about halfway through the load they encouraged us to load some of the bulky items from the garage, like snow blower, lawn mower and ladders as there was room in the truck. Our 3 year old daughter was there and running around throughout the move. They were very friendly with her and careful with her. Always warning her away when needed, but also providing bubble wrap to pop and interacting with her to make her laugh. This was a big personal plus for me. At the new house, they moved everything from the garage up into the house. We already knew roughly were everything was going so was in the garage/driveway telling them to which room each item had to go, and my wife and mother were in the house and in-law apartment respectfully telling them exactly were to put the items. It went quickly. They set up the beds and any furniture they had to disassemble to move like dressers with mirrors. No items were damaged.
Description of Work: Two Trucks & 5 movers, load majority of items from parents house and garage, transport contents to new house with in-law apartment, move house contents from garage to house (due to renovations), unload all items into apartment/house/garage

These guys were really, really great. They showed up on time, worked diligently, carefully and hard, and were consistently pleasant and friendly (and funny!). And they were really sweet to my two-year old, who likes to get into the middle of things and can get in the way. We'd hire them again in a heartbeat.

I recently used Oscar's to move into a new house in the Boston area. They stored my things for three months and then delivered them. It was a flawless experience and I thought well worth the price. I used them again to bring some furniture from my parents' house in NJ to Boston. They dropped off a couple of pieces in Cambridge along the way. Their work is highly professional, both the person at the company and the movers themselves are very careful, responsive, and do excellent work. I highly recommend them.

Description of Work: These people were extremely careful with my items. We have expensive furniture and they did everything they could to protect it. They were nice, responsive and when we arrived to my new place, they asked me where to leave my items and they told me they will not leave until everything was where I wanted. I can't not say anything negative about these people. I was extremely happy.
