Man With A Van Moving

Needed «small» movers for just one piece of furniture– the world’s heaviest vintage sleeper sofa. I gave them an impossible task– take the behemoth couch down three flights of stairs in the first house, then up a flight of stairs through a tiny doorframe into my new place. The guys did not give up, eventually disassembling the couch and bringing it up piece by piece. They later came back to help reassemble. My review: perseverance and smart strength! Would definitely recommend, and if I ever move again, I’ll be calling them for the Dream Couch Saga Part II.

They rescued us during the move from hell. Fast. Respectful. Careful. Insisted on putting the bed together so my cousin «would have a place to sleep.» Huge praise and gratitude from this customer.

Our two movers (one who was the company owner) were professional, hard-​working, efficient, transparent about pricing, and fair. Would definitely use again and recommend!

Accurate pricing, arrived on time, very nice to work with. I would totally use them again for a small move.

i will use these guys every time i move.
they helped me move back in april and made my life sooo much easier. i had to move unexpectedly during one of the most stressful and difficult times of my life and i was dreading the move. luckily, keith & co made the move as easy as possible and they were genuinely nice guys. they helped me disassemble and reassemble my ikea bed and even helped me put the big furniture exactly where i wanted it.
i highly recommend these guys, especially if you live in a small apartment and don’t have a lot of stuff. you can really save money!

I meant to write this a LONG time ago. Man w/​a van was fantastic. They squeezed me in last minute on September 1, the worst day of the year for moving. Highly recommend!

EASIEST MOVE EVER and on the dreaded Sept 1^st too! I was moving across Cambridge out of a shared 2 bedroom into a one bedroom with a couple large pieces of furniture (bed, bed-​frame, tv, table, couch, chair etc.) as well as a high-​maintenance-​level amount of clothes and other misc things. I was a little worried not everything would fit in their van, but these guys must play tetris because somehow they fit it all in there.
Though I did have everything packed neatly in boxes before they came, I was shocked that the entire move, from the time they called me to tell me they had arrived (exactly on time) to leaving my new place after having reassembled my bed & furniture took only one hour and a half. 90 minutes! Those three guys they sent were zippin’ around– that’s less time than it takes to watch two episodes of Top Chef.
Dudes, save your friends and yourself a day of sweating and complaining and fork over some money to relieve some stress. It’s well worth it.

This was the only time I didn’t use a Moving AND Storage company and didn’t have 20+ boxes. A rather small move, but moving is never an easy job. For the date I moved (Sep 2, among the peak days for sure), they quoted a reasonable price compared to most other companies and gave me a pretty nice slot. Keith and Shelley (pardon me if I misspelled the names) showed up on time, finished the job in an hour, and were very professional and friendly. Smooth move without a hitch. I would highly recommend them for anyone moving from/​to a studio/​1BR/​2BR.
That’s that… did I leave out anything? Oh I forgot to tell Keith he probably had the coolest pair of Ray Ban shades. Did I mention these guys were enthusiastic musicians too? You might run into them at the Middle East Club in Central Square from time to time!

After an unfortunate moving incident, Man With a Van was kind enough to repair the damages to my furniture and apartment. Keith, Sam and the team helped repair my old place and my old roommates and landlady are now content. Again, thank you to Man With a Van for being considerate after this mishap. Mistakes can happen with a move, and your committment to customer service really helped make it easier :-)
Upgrade to 4 stars — thanks for the peace of mind.

Really happy with them! Super fast and flexible and friendly.

I love Man with a Van! I’ve used them twice now for my moving needs in Boston. It’s just a couple of nice guys (I think the guy who helped me was the owner) who own a van and are willing to drag your furniture across the city. They are super nice (sent me an Xmas card one year!), as well as fast and efficient. They moved everything out of a storage unit in Malden to a studio apt on the 4^th floor (with a crappy elevator) in Boston in under two hours! Also, prices are awesome, especially when you consider rates of other moving companies. Book early during peak season (usually September and May/​June when the kids are coming in/​out of college). I recommend Man with a Van to all my friends who have to move. I wish there was a Man with a Van in OC!

I may look like a scrawny weakling, but really I’m a power horse. I don’t need no men to help me move. Haha, okay fine. I really do because I’m lazy. But it’s not because I’m not strong! (Can you tell I have a beanpole complex?)
Anyhow, I got not just a MAN but MEN with a van, TWO. They were communicative, early (!!) and uncomplaining. Even when the boxes in my basement had molded and bottomed out. Plus we had two stops and still managed to move my office in an hour and a half. Maximum efficiency, I’m all about it.

They started as just a couple of guys with a van, but they’ve grown so they have a fleet of different sized vehicles, and several men.
Pros:
They were great at communicating with me both before and during the move. They were prompt, quick, easy to work with, and clearly knew what they were doing. I was moving a mostly-​furnished two bedroom apartment, and they got everything done in one load, in less than 3 hours with 2 guys. Everything was moved safely and cleanly. They even assembled the bed frames for me. Tips are appreciated but not expected.
Cons:
Even though I described in great detail how much stuff I had, they underestimated the van space they would need. They just so happened to have a bigger van that day so it worked out well, but they ended up charging me more than they had quoted.
Other notes:
I wish I had bottled water and gatorade for them, but it didn’t occur to me beforehand. It’s worth it to get the mattress bags ($ 5 each, they provide them… they’re literally just giant plastic bags but keep your mattresses clean). Their website gives good tips on how to prepare for a smooth move (and has some disaster stories).
Overall, two thumbs up. MWAV did in a couple of hours what would have taken me a couple of days. It’s worth it to pay for that much less stress and sweat!
