Aviv Moving & Storage

I’ve had some less than stellar movers in the past, so I’m extremely grateful to Aviv for their excellent service, professionalism, and quite reasonable rates. The three movers showed up on time and efficiently and carefully packed up my stuff. And Before I knew it we were off! They moved me in just as quickly, using these roller things to get my stuff in and not scratch up my floors. They also were great at dismantling my bed frame and other furniture and putting it back together. I’ve had movers who balk at doing this or don’t seem to know how. None of my stuff was broken or missing. Lastly, the staff member who set up my whole move and handled the communication was very reliable and helpful. Should I ever (heaven forbid) have to move again, I will use Aviv!

We moved from a 2B apt to a single family home. We got Oscar, Mario & Hernon to move us and they were incredibly friendly, efficient and FAST! We had over 55 boxes and furniture to move. They were gone in no time. No fuss or mess. There was a tiny chip on our dresser but I’m not bothered by it as we received excellent service from all three men. I’d highly recommend Aviv!

Used to move earlier this year after a lot of research. They were available on a really short notice, and were very flexible with the schedule. They did a great job moving my stuff and the price was very reasonable.

Wow! I would give them 10 stars if I could. I have used aviv moving and storage 3 times now over the span of 2 years and have had my stuff stored in their facility. This is hands down the best moving company I have EVER used. They are polite, efficient, honest, and professional. They take the time to care for your items as if they were their own. I needed them to move my stuff on short notice recently and they accommodated me even though they were incredibly booked already. If you want a stress free move and a company that treats you like family then def try Aviv! Thank you Aviv for taking such wonderful care of me and my belongings and for getting everything to my new townhouse even though you had super short notice!

We used the Aviv team to move from a 4 levels townhouse in Brookline to a split level in Newton. The entire process was very smooth — we got a very clear estimate from their guy, they came right on time with a team of 4 movers and a brand new truck.
We asked that they pack our things as well, it was done very professionally and fast.
All of the 4 team members were nice, worked hard and were very helpful, after a long day of 9 hours (just as they estimated) we were done.
Highly recommended.

We used Aviv Moving for our move in Watertown MA. They were professional, on time and very gentle with our belongings. I scheduled the move with Yaniv who was assuring and professional, he quoted the price and it ended up to be just as he said it would.
The movers arrived on time and had no issues with us helping them like some companies do. They were extremely fast and friendly. We would recommend Aviv Movers to anyone and appreciate having them in our area!

I am a wily veteran of the Boston moving circuit. Moving sucks. And hiring movers is a crap shoot. I’ve come to expect the least, frankly.
My husband and I had a pretty epic move recently. We moved to suburbia and to boot had to store ²⁄₃ of our things in a storage space. So we had tons of boxes and furniture that had to correctly find its way to the right location.
HOWEVER, these movers were SO fast and professional– the tetris-​ness of how they assembled our ton of stuff in the storage space astounded me. And they accomplished this feat in just over 3 hours (plus arriving early at our door!). And the price was about half of that of the rather incompetent movers that completed a far less complicated move for us 2 years earlier!
This company is terrific and I would call them again. They made such a stressful day so not stressful. :-) Good work should be celebrated and I can definitely vouch for this company!

We moved last Friday and we picked this company because it was recommended by a friend who had previously used it. We had called them for a quote and as the price was reasonable, we chose them to do our move.
Our estimate to complete the task was 3 hours and we chose to start on Friday morning. They arrived half an hour late but it was reasonable as it was easy to get lost in our condo complex. Once they arrived, the lead person surveyed our place such that they would know what needed to be moved. They parked their truck at the front door and their 3 person crew got to work.
Our delicate items such as our large aquarium and pricey wood furniture got extra attention and they managed to wrap them neatly with padding. These arrived at our new place safely. We brought a mattress cover from them for our mattress as we didn’t have our own and our mattress arrived safely too. We didn’t need to use their boxes as our smaller items were already boxed. In the end, the total time for the move calculated from when they first arrived was 2 hours. Since the minimum time charged is 3 hours, we were fine with that.

Not sure what is up with all the negative reviews. I had a great experience during the booking and actual moving process.
Oscar, Jose, and Solomon were polite, worked quickly and took great care of our stuff. The entire move was completed in the estimated time and everything arrived safe.
The price was exactly as discussed and we felt their service was a good value.
Can’t beat relaxing by the afternoon on moving day…

The movers showed up on time on a day when it had been snowing and the roads were slick. The team of three were professional and courteous. They worked hard and fast and completed job in less than the estimated time I was previously quoted. My move was for a one bedroom apartment across town. I would’ve considered 5 stars if they hadn’t charged me for rolls of tape to tape the free provided blankets to protect my furniture. However, this fee was brought to my attention before starting for my consent.

Horrible experience with these amateurs. When you pay a premium price, you expect premium results. Unfortunately that wasn’t the case with Aviv. They completely destroyed my desk, broke part of my dresser, and lost the screws to the mirror that attached to my dresser, thus rendering it useless. One mover even had the audacity to bark multiple requests for a glass of water while he was on the phone after destroying my furniture… get your own fucking glass of water you dip-​shit.
After the move they promised a foreman would come by and make repairs to my dresser and attach the mirror to the dresser… two weeks later and multiple follow up calls on his status still and still no results.
Luckily I paid for the premium insurance at the outset of the move, so I should be covered, but with this company who knows.
TL;DR: Worst movers possible, look elsewhere.

The movers spent the day calling me a Puta and other insults, not knowing that I speak Spanish. Much, much worse is that when I told Yaniv who booked my move, he and his company did NOTHING. They did not even apologize. Nothing. (Well, they made sure to charge me.) I paid $ 95/​hr for verbal abuse from workers who complained about having to assemble bed frames, who did not want to wrap floor lamps, and who have no concept of customer service, or decency. And I am a wimp, so when they pushed me, I caved. I was nice, I offered drinks, I said Thank You a hundred times… and they complained in Spanish that the Puta esta sentado en la cola… and that la puta would never do manual labor. Etc. Being alone with three men who have control over my belongings, when I am pressed to complete the move, and being ganged up on in a verbally abusive way… I was a bit traumatized for a few days. And Aviv does not care. Business as usual I guess. I should call Martha Coakley and the BBB.

Terrible experience with them. I was told it would be a 5 – 6 hour job but it took 10 hours (even though I itemized everything in the move). They took a 1.25 hour break and told me it was only 30 minutes. Two of the three didn’t speak good English which led to boxes being placed in the wrong rooms/​floors. Plus, they ran out of wrapping blankets and had to use plastic which they of course charged us for. Then their management wouldn’t budge in negotiating the final price after I explained all of this, which ended up being twice what I expected. I couldn’t have had a worse experience. Stay away!!!
