Olympia Moving and Storage

I have used Olympia twice now to move my home. Both times the staff has been amazing. My first move was difficult due to dimensions and getting the furniture into the apartment complex at the time, but they did whatever they had to, to ensure all of my belongings made it into my new place. What should have been a few hour job (small apartment) took all day and they were nothing short of grateful for helping me move. My most recent move, a few weeks ago, was the same class act from the staff. Again, an all day job, on New Year’s Eve nonetheless. Every one of the staff members offered to help stay (way past 5pm) to help me unpack boxes instead of getting home to celebrate the New Year; and each insisted on sweeping the floors for me to ensure they didn’t leave a mess behind. They were more than awesome. In the event I ever move again, I will undoubtedly default to Olympia. Highly recommend them to any and every one!

I have moved many times, and that body of experience has left me with pretty low expectations for moving companies. As such, I’m DELIGHTED to be able to recommend Olympia. They were super careful, friendly and courteous, and reasonably priced. I would use them again in a heartbeat.

I have used Olympia moving for two moves and storage. They have been prompt, careful, pleasant and reasonable in their time estimates and pricing.

This was my second time using Olympia Moving & Storage for a longer distance move. Both experiences were top notch. The movers themselves were exceptional — took care of my belongings, friendly, professional, careful, hardworking and great attitudes. Mine was a small move so the price was higher than competitors –their minimum weight threshold for long distance moves is high, but the tradeoff was absolute professionalism and a timely move. Everything about the service, from sales to management to movers was A+ Their organization and professionalism actually added a calm to the most stressful day of the year!

The movers were courteous and on time! They did a great job packing and moving all of our breakable goods.
I do pottery so it was no easy feat, but they accomplished the pack AND move with no breaks.
Thank you Olympia!

Our move by Olympia was perfect. The estimator was right on in what the cost would be, the crew were respectful, efficient and showed great care with our possessions. We needed to store our furniture for 3 weeks until our new place was ready. Our furniture was returned without a scratch or any damage on the day we picked. I would highly recommend Olympia for moving and would use them again in the future.

Olympia was great and easy to work with for my move. I set up my move in advance and talked through what I had, the guys showed up on time and worked fast and efficiently to get everything loaded up onto the truck and into the new apartment. The team from beginning to end earned 5 stars.

Outstanding service– when a major problem arose with the move out timing, they came early in a tight window and improvised, getting me out rapidly and with few or no problems. They’re simply the best. Incredible contact, great movers, packers, and unloading. Olympia made things a breeze.

My wife and I had to move out of our house for a few weeks while we were having some repairs/​renovations done. Olympia offers storage, which was what we needed, so they picked up the items we needed to get out of the way, stored them for a month and then moved them back when the work was done. From Ida to the moving crew, everyone was very courteous and professional!

We had a fantastic experience with Olympia! The salesperson, Ryan Hegarty, was very prompt and professional setting up the very complicated logistics for our move. The three guys who handled the move could not have been more helpful. They handled our property with the utmost care and they were very patient with placing the items in the new apartment. Overall I would give this company an A+!

Just watched them drop an entire box someone’s stuff on the ground and pretend it didn’t happen. Do not hire these people
I am editing my post and rating as ownership quickly contacted me for information. It’s obvious the top level is engaged and genuinely concerned of their level of service. Can’t fault an entire organization for a bad apple on the front line.
Shocked to get that from a moving company– I’ve upped my rating to reflect it.

Olympia moving was great! I called several companies to get an estimate, and not only was Olympia the least expensive, they were also the most friendly. Leading up to the move, they were available to answer all my questions and sent helpful tips and reminders. The day of the move, the movers showed up right on time, were courteous, and very efficient. We had some tricky pieces of furniture to get into tight areas and they really knew exactly what to do. At the end of the day, they broke down the final charges and didn’t try to slip anything in. Would definitely recommend Olympia.

I have used Olympia for three moves in the last five years. I can’t think of a stronger recommendation than repeat customers.
Each time the men who came to move me were knowledgable, helpful and did a great job. The office staff that arrange the move are great. And the bill has always been as expected. I. Would use them again. I have used 2 other moving companies out of state and one Massachusetts competitor before I found Olympia so I have lots of recent moves to use for comparison.

From our initial appointment to the actual move, Olympia Moving & Storage shined. This was not a large move, just a block away, but they were fantastic. I especially appreciated their suggestions for keeping costs down. For example: 1) we planned to move some of the items ourselves a few days before, and they suggested if we were to do that to consider moving all of our art to avoid the time involved in them having to crate everything. 2) schedule move at beginning of month vs. end for a lower rate.
On moving day, our movers were friendly, professional (appreciated their uniformed shirts), fast, and took extra care with the hardwood floors in our new place. Absolutely no damage. I’ve moved several times (five times in the past six years) and this is the best company I’ve ever used. Highly recommend.

We wanted to take a moment to express how happy we were with our recent move. Moving is not easy or fun, but your team Freddy, Cristi, and Claude made it so much easier for us. From the moment they arrived at our house in Medford on Saturday morning (10÷11÷14) until the time they left our new home in Shrewsbury, these gentlemen were absolutely FANTASTIC. They packed up our house with the utmost care, and unpacked it just as fast and with the same care and attention to detail. They were friendly, hard-​working, and communicated with us often to ask our preferences. The move went very smoothly and we did not have to worry about one thing. It is very hard to trust complete strangers with your priceless possessions, but your team put us at ease and were amazing. We will highly recommend your company to friends, and we will keep you in mind if we need moving assistance in the future.

We couldn’t have been happier with our move! Olympia gave us the best quote, was careful and efficient and had us in to our new home very quickly. We’d definitely recommend using Olympia!

I can’t say enough about my experience moving with Olympia. For starters, the pre-​move support was great. Ryan answered all of my questions, provided a nearly perfect estimate and seemingly worked non-​stop because he replied to emails late and night and over the weekends. I was even more pleased when the move day arrived. The movers were EARLY. That never, ever happens. I was given a 4 hour window, and an hour before the window was to start, I got a call from the foreman asking if we were ready and if we would prefer to start a bit earlier. The movers were friendly and efficient. Overall, the experience of moving near September 1^st is usually not fun, but Olympia made it as smooth as possible. Expectations exceeded, and well worth the cost.

We used Olympia for a declutter and storage service as suggested by our realtor. We had planned to use them for our long-​distance move but that will NOT be happening given the extensive issues we have had and are having with them.
Here are a few of the more costly issues:
You can NOT trust a quote or estimate. Ours came in at nearly 80% higher than they had anticipated, despite the fact that we cut way back on what we planned to store, packed many MANY things ourselves ahead of time and had designated, organized areas ready to go for the movers.
Now, they want $ 40 an hour (with a minimum amount of hours of course) to get ONE thing out of our vault. We had been told more than once that we could easily retrieve things, no charge.
In retrospect I wish we had opted for a pod or storage unit at an independent facility. Now are things are basically held hostage unless we pay and arm and a leg to retrieve things.

We had used Olympic Moving (now Olympia Moving & Storage) 7 years ago. Our experience was so positive that Olympia was our only mover candidate this time.
This time, our move within the Boston area had to be planned and executed in a very short timeframe. We had a lot of uncertainties (where to move, if there’d be enough space for our stuff, etc.), but one thing we could count on from the beginning was that the Olympia staff would be supportive throughout the process. From the day a surveyor was sent to estimate, all the way to the date of the actual move, she was very responsive to our questions and needs. Packing materials were delivered as scheduled, and the delivery staff member was helpful in answering our packing questions.
On the day of the move, the 4 guys were extraordinarily amazing!!! They moved so fast that we could hardly keep up with the last few boxes we were planning to pack that morning. We had a LOT of stuff, including a piano and 100+ boxes, so we needed to do 3 roundtrips with a truck, before the new apartment’s loading deck closing time (which we only found out about on that day). The guys skipped their lunch to meet our aggressive requirements on time, but everything was wrapped, loaded, unloaded, carried and unwrapped exceptionally carefully & professionally. AND, throughout the day, they were friendly and made us feel comfortable with the move.
We cannot thank enough to everyone at Olympia. We’ve seen other movers work with our neighbors before — none of them seemed half as efficient and professional as what we experienced with Olympia. We highly recommend Olympia to anyone. Keep up the great work!!!

I recently was promoted with my employer and they hired Olympia moving to move me from Boston, MA to New Haven, CT. When I first spoke to a representative from Olympia the explained to me that they would not only be moving me but also packing everything from my old residence as well, I literally had to do nothing.
The morning of the pack/​move arrived and I literally rolled out of bed at 8am when they arrived and the two guys began their work. I sat and watched tv for the duration of their packing and loading and it took a total of about 9 solid hours to get my entire 2 br apt packed up and loaded into the truck. Everything went smooth and the guys were very receptive to any questions /​requests I had. They even went through and unassembled my larger furniture (bed, shelving units, desk, etc.).
The next day I gave explicit directions that they could not begin unload until after 2pm. They promptly arrived at 2:05pm, ready to work. They expertly backed their 25+’ truck into the tiny lot of my new apartment and had the entire contents emptied into my 2^nd floor apartment within 3 hours, including reassembling all of the furniture!
Both guys were great and had no problems with any direction about where boxes should go and asked exactly where I wanted each piece of furniture.
As I spent the better part of the last two days unpacking all of the boxes they so carefully packed I am very pleased to find the amount of packing they used to ensure my belongings were not damaged. All of my expensive items and delicate /​fragile items all look exactly as they did when packed.
I can not speak more highly of Olympia moving and how great a job they did with my move. Moving from one state to another is obviously stressful, well moving in general is stressful, but the way this move was orchestrated with little to no work by myself (besides the unpacking portion) I don’t think I can move any other way in the future.
Do not hesitate to utilize this company, especially if you get the same grate mover team that I was lucky enough to have.
Thanks again Olympia!
