The three men sent for the job worked very **** ** a 90+ degree, 9 hour long day (10 minus a 1 hour lunch) but weren't the best at packing; some minor damage to boxes and furnishing. My real complaint is that the straight truck sent wasn't large enough for the job. I felt this was an inexcusable mistake. They had to leave many items in our old house (we were lucky our buyer was easy going) for my husband to make three trailer trips to collect and move the rest himself. Not a bargain at nearly $1300 plus tips.
Description of Work: On your recommendation, we hired BOS to move us out of a 1500 sq foot ranch which we had almost entirely boxed up and pre-moved 3 or 4 small trailer loads ourselves.

Bos Moving was exceptional. Their customer service when arranging the move was top notch. The movers were right on time, friendly, fast, and they took great care with every item. Their pricing compared to the big chain movers was very competitive. I was thoroughly satisfied with our end-to-end experience with Bos Moving. I would definitely hire them again and recommend them to others.

Everything went great! The scheduler gave a very clear estimate and timing for completion. Chino and his crew (Joe & John) were very professional, helpful, and careful with the move. I was very impressed with their efficiency and capability. We have large exercise equipment which I was concerned would be difficult to move between home levels, but it went great. They even had cellophane wrap for all large furniture to prevent damage during the move. Chino, John, and Joe exceeded our expectations and would be hired again for the next move! Money well spent!

Extremely well. Chino, Joe and John from Bos Moving & Service Co. were the most professional moving crew we have ever used. In the past, other companies have failed to measure up to the the job the crew from Bos did. They were very careful but still quite efficient while the price was very competitive and right in line with the estimate. Unlike other movers we have used there were absolutely no issues. We will most definitely hire Chino, Joe and John from Bos Moving again!

We recommend Bos. We called two weeks before our Saturday move date and Mark Bos was out the next day for an on-site review & estimate. The two trucks & four men arrived on time on a snowy, sloppy morning. They put pads down to keep our hardwood floors clean and dry. Ron & Kevin & JB & Jim were attentive, courteous, friendly and they hustled. They completed the job within the estimate.

The day started out on the wrong foot. I received a phone call stating that two workers called in sick and that my move would be delayed. Clearly, this was not my fault. I was the second move for the day. Because the first move required three people, the owner wanted me to take three men and pay the rate for three people instead of two. I refused. It took the men four hours just to move my things out of the house. In total, I paid over $750 for the entire move. It was a complete disappointment and disaster
Description of Work: I was moving a couple of rooms of furniture and a number of boxes and not an entire house.

Response from Bos Moving & Service
We are very sorry you were not happy with your move. Indeed we had a flu bug hit Bos Moving. Your job was scheduled to begin between 9:00-9:30 a.m., movers arrived at 10:15 a.m.. We had to shuffle a couple of things to get everyone accommodated. Your job was quoted over the phone. Based on what you told us, we estimated 5 hours. The move took 7 3/4 hours. The 25 boxes you said you had turned into 50-60. There were 30 "bags" of items not mentioned that we moved for you. When we arrived at the new location, our movers found they were going to have to work around painters and other contractors still doing work on your new home. Another thing that was not mentioned over the phone. At one point they actually had to stop what they were doing to wait on your contractors. We worked to complete your job that day as scheduled.

The move was ok, There were quite a few scratched floors and pieces of furniture. The company did offer to check the scratches, but there were many compression scratches in inlaid wood pieces that a scratch pen wouldn't fix. My main complaint was that the cost was estimated at $2900-$3300 for the move ... the final cost was $5300. With all the damage and over charges, we would not use them again.

Response from Bos Moving & Service
We are so sorry to hear that you were not completely satisfied with you move last October. When we spoke with you the day after the move, we asked to get an appointment scheduled with the owner to assess damages and go over your concerns with the bill. You said you would talk it over and get back with us. You did not give us that opportunity. Had you given us the opportunity, we would have hired the proper professionals to take care of your damages at our cost. Not scratch pens, professional furniture repair specialists that we deal with when damage occurs. Again, we are sorry you weren't completely satisfied as it is always our goal.

Description of Work: I had to move my whole house to two different locations. They could not have been more patient or made things easier for me!!! Even after I forgot to point out a tv and console that I needed to go elsewhere, they just worked around my mistake and just made it all work.

BOS Movers were Exceptional! It was difficult move for me as it is marital separation and I was downsizing from my house into a smaller apartment and to a storage unit. The guys were so polite and corteous and conscientious about which place the items needed to go. They never complained or acted overwhelmed or tired. They were efficient and extremely professional. I would recommend them highly to anyone!

Three guys came to move our house. Terry was one of them and extremely unprofessional. They lost a small part of our dining table and instead of apologizing he blamed me that I was making it a big deal. I could get a replacement part in walmart (that was ridiculous). the only good part was that the owner later looked for the part online and delivered it to our home. What is worse? That parts did not fit in our dining table. It was wrong part. Anyway, we just let it go and did not contact them any further. The moving was OK just like 50 other companies out there. But they are completely lack of professionalism. I won't recommend them to my friends or family.

Have had much better experience with 4 other companies we've worked with over past 15 years
Description of Work: Moved an apartment to a home. We had everything packed in standard moving boxes and ready except big furniture. Crew showed up about 90 minutes late - truck/yard problems? I had to call. In the afternoon, I had to start helping to ensure job got done. Extra extortion charge of $60 in cash to move a granite top table up 12 steps. This was after 7pm, so what was my choice? Finished about 10 pm. Could have been done much earlier. Guys were good guys, and worked hard, but job needed better planning at that pace. They tried to get help, but didn't happen.

Response from Bos Moving & Service
We are sorry that you were not happy with your move. This is the first we have heard from you. In reviewing your invoice and situation, I see the job was estimated to take 7-8 hours and in actuality took 9 3/4 hours. We strive to be right on target with our estimates. There are many variables in moving that can change things. I do believe this was a phone estimate, as well. We do apologize for the late arrival, we did have a problem with that truck that morning but worked to rectify the situation and get the guys on their way as quickly as possible. I believe the office was in contact with you. As for the stair charge, that goes directly to the guys for overweight items on a stairway. We have 2 flights noted for the granite table top. We would be happy to refund this to you if you feel it was unfair. Again, we work to give every customer a great experience and feel we come through as seen by other reviews. We are sorry you did not feel the same. We never like to have a disappointed customer.

Aside from the fact that they underestimated the time/manpower needed, things went smoothly. Upon calling, I informed them that I had a second story condo with a basement storage unit (a lot of stairs if you ask me!) They said two guys could do the job in 3-4 hours. When I suggested maybe needing a third, they assured me that two guys could get it done. Turned out it took two guys nearly 8 hours, but they did get it done! The guys were easy-going, hard working, and considering I spent the whole day with them, nice to be around. They were careful with my belongings, took extra care to help make sure things were packed and wrapped, and loaded the truck with extreme expertise. We had to make a stop to pick a few items up at another house and they were able to do so quickly and effortlessly. While the job took longer than the company estimated, I was not surprised with the amount of time it took, and while their estimate was off because of the increase in hours, it was still extremely reasonable. I would happily hire them again for any other moves in my future!
