Too many mover options make it hard to know who's reliable, fairly priced,
and actually worth calling. These best moving companies in Massachusetts are based on the
things that matter most when you're choosing a mover.
What to Expect from the Best Movers in Massachusetts
The best movers in Massachusetts should make it easy to understand what you're paying for. You
should know the estimated cost, what's included, and where extra charges could come from before you
book.
You shouldn't have to keep chasing your movers for updates. Good Massachusetts movers keep
you informed about timing, services, pickup details, and any changes along the way.
You should also be able to tell whether a company actually fits your move. The best moving companies
will have the proper licensing, the services you need, and a track record you can check.

Route Costs
Long Distance Moving Cost
Below are the average costs for moving a two- or three-bedroom home on common routes from Massachusetts.
✓Decide Where You’re Moving: Research
your new city or state, cost of living, and housing options.
✓Set Your Budget: Estimate moving
costs of an interstate move from Massachusetts, including movers, travel
expenses, and
potential overnight stays.
✓Get Multiple Quotes: Request and
compare quotes from at least 2–3 licensed long-distance movers in Massachusetts.
Comparing
their estimates will help you choose the most cost-effective option.
✓School Enrollment: If you have kids,
start the enrollment process with their new school district to avoid last-minute
delays.
1 MO
Final Prep
✓Transfer Records: Arrange to transfer
medical, dental, and vet records to your new providers.
✓Change of
Address: Make sure to notify USPS, your bank, and any subscription
services before your move.
✓Schedule Utilities Disconnection:
Arrange to turn off gas, electric, and internet at your Massachusetts home after
your move
date.
✓Start Packing Non-Essentials:Label boxes
clearly and set aside items you’ll need for travel.
DAY
Make It Smooth
✓Confirm With Movers: Double-check
your long distance moving details the day before to avoid any last-minute issues.
✓Travel Essentials: Keep important
documents, valuables, and travel bags with you — not on the moving
truck.
✓Unpack in Stages: Focus on essentials
first, then settle in to your new state at your own pace.
Company vs Broker
What’s the Difference Between a Moving Company and a Moving Broker?
You’ll probably see terms like moving broker
and moving company when getting quotes. Here’s what they really mean, and which one you should trust
with your move.
✓Moving
Company
A moving company owns its own trucks, employs its own movers, and physically
handles your relocation from start to finish. When you hire a licensed long-distance
moving company in Massachusetts, you’re dealing directly with the team who will
pack, load, transport, and deliver your belongings.
✓You can check
real customer reviews for their crews and long-distance track record.
!Moving
Broker
A moving broker is a middleman; they don’t own trucks or hire movers.
Instead, they collect your move details and sell them to an actual moving company that does the
job. You may not know which company will show up until the last minute.
-Does not
handle your move themselves.
-Quality varies
depending on which company they hire for you.
-Some brokers
are licensed, but they’re not required to guarantee service quality.
-Not all
brokers are transparent about costs and final arrangements.
Which One Should You Choose?
You should usually work directly with a licensed and insured moving company. They're registered with
the FMCSA and are responsible for your belongings during the move, which gives you more
accountability than working through a broker.
Choose a broker only if you want help finding a mover and are comfortable working through a
middleman.

A moving scam can cost you money, time, and a lot of stress. A few careful steps can help
you deal with a problem and avoid the same situation later.
Save all records: Keep your estimate, contract, receipts, emails, texts,
and photos. These records can support your complaint, prove what happened, and help recover
money later if needed.
Contact the mover first: Ask the company to explain the problem and fix
it in writing. A clear paper trail gives you evidence if the issue becomes serious
later.
Report the company if needed: File a complaint with the FMCSA or another
consumer agency if the mover refuses to help. It can protect other customers too.
Verify the mover before booking: Check the company’s USDOT number,
license, address, and insurance before paying. This confirms the mover is legitimate and
helps you avoid fake companies and scams.
Get the price in writing: Ask for a written estimate that explains
charges, services, and possible extras. Clear pricing makes sudden price changes easier to
question and dispute later too.
Be careful with large deposits: Avoid movers asking for unusually large
upfront payments, especially in cash. Smaller deposits and traceable payments give you more
protection if something goes wrong later.
Check reviews from different sources: Read reviews on several websites
and look for repeated complaints about pricing, damage, delays, or communication. Patterns
can reveal problems before you choose a mover.
FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about hiring movers in
Massachusetts, from licensing and services to timing and cost.
01
How do I find licensed movers in Massachusetts?
Check the mover's USDOT number and FMCSA registration before booking an
interstate move. You should also confirm the company name, address, insurance, and
operating status.
02
What services do moving companies in Massachusetts offer?
Most moving companies in Massachusetts offer residential moving,
packing, loading, unloading, long-distance moving, and storage. Available services can
vary by company.
03
How far in advance should I book movers in Massachusetts?
Try to book two to six weeks ahead. You may need more time during
summer, weekends, holidays, and other busy moving periods.
04
Are there movers in Massachusetts for interstate moves?
Yes. Interstate movers in Massachusetts can handle moves from
Massachusetts to another state, but they must have the proper federal registration
to transport belongings across state lines.
05
Do Massachusetts movers provide packing services?
Many Massachusetts movers offer full or partial packing services.
Some can also provide packing supplies, unpacking, furniture disassembly, and
reassembly.
06
What is the best time of year to move in Massachusetts?
Spring and fall can offer more comfortable weather and less demand than
peak summer months. Your best time will also depend on your schedule and budget.
07
Should I choose local or long-distance movers in
Massachusetts?
Choose local movers in Massachusetts for shorter moves within the
area. For moves across state lines or much longer distances, use properly registered
long distance movers in Massachusetts.
