Reviews & Comments
Editorial Review by Citysearch Editors “ From internal to international moves, with packing, storage and liability insurance available, plus restoration services for furniture and paintings. ”
Excellent! “ The two movers Gentle Giant sent us were excellent. They were careful with our furniture and walls, worked hard, and were polite and professional. Their service was all that one would expect?which, frankly, is getting rarer and rarer these days. Keep up the good work, Gentle Giant! ”
OUTSTANDING !! “ We came upon Gentle Giant after much research on moving companies and obtaining several quotes from several different moving companies. Decided to go with Gentle Giant as their record shows they do an outstandng job and the many satisfied customers. After hearing many horror stories from friends with their past moving experiences and customer complaints on the web regarding ripoffs and not satisfied with their move, we decided to go with Gentle Giant. They are not the least expensive, but were well worth it. The move was an interstate move. Gentle Giant was on time, courteous, treated every detail of the move with much respect. Rik, Aurimus and Tomas, all three exceptional gentlemen. Great personable guys! Can not say enough about these three gentlemen. They made the moving experience smooth as can be, outstanding job. ”
Great great great “ We were very impressed by the service and overall quality of our cross-country move with Gentle Giant. It was the first time we've had packers and the first time we've been moved so far by a moving company. All the details were handled well and I trusted them throughout. We had three moving companies do estimates for our large, complicated move. Gentle Giant was not cheapest, but I believed other personal and online reviews that they are the real deal and will not scam you. We did a fixed-price move and are very happy with it. Rik Hayes was our crew chief - he was professional and personable and had my trust during the whole process. I recommend them highly. ”
Worst Movers by Wendy C. at InsiderPages “ This moving company might be one of the most recognizable in the Boston area, but they are not to be trusted if you want your move to run smoothly. When they attempted to move us out of our apartment in the North End, they did not obtain the proper permits to do so ahead of time. Then they showed up for the move under-staffed and 5 hours late. To top it all off, they didnt move anything and they charged us $200. We decided to move ourselves after that experience. This moving company will make you wish you had saved your money and never inquired about their services. PROS: None CONS: Late, Dishonest, Shady ”
Bad experience - feel scammed “ After 2 really great moves with Gentle Giant this past one this month was really disappointing! The move took double the estimated time. It took them almost 12 hours to move the contents of a 2 bedroom apartment 5 blocks. Even though we rented a crane for the second half of the move it took them just as long moving in as it did getting the stuff out of are old apt. When I contacted the company after the move there was no accommodation made. In fact, though I sent them the price for an expensive bottle of wine broken in the move they only reimbursed $90 of the $169 it cost. Despite good experiences in the past, I would never use them again. For the price they charge you expect the best - fast and efficient - we way overpaid for what we got. ”
