The movers were professional. They knew exactly what was needed to move in good time. They worked hard and safely. Friendly kind and experienced. They did an awesome job and seemed to enjoy their job. It was a pleasure when moving belongings can be a real hassle. They were very helpful, arrived 10 minutes before the time they said they would be there for the move from Central Ma to the Northshore and I strongly recommend this company. Very grateful.

They arrived promptly on time. Started work after a brief walk through immediately. No chit chat just organized teamwork. Each team member knew his job and completed it in an organized and timely fashion. Loaded truck from one location and made two different deliveries without delay. I highly recommend.

I had 3 guys come to help me move from a 1 bedroom apartment to another. They arrived early, were very fast and took their job seriously. They set up my bed frame at my new place, asked if I wanted any furniture rearranged, and took great care of my belongings. They even helped me move some stuff from my car up to the apartment when they were done! Very impressed because they made my move seamless. The money was well worth it to have hassle free moving

Five College Movers were fantastic! Great communication with the office; they were willing to change the date of our move at the last minute because we requested it. The guys came right on time, did a great fast job, and were exceedingly accommodating to all our requests during the move. Lovely people-- will definitely use them again!

Michael Kurland

Tony and his crew were absolutely awesome! They arrived one minute early at our pickup location in NY. Loaded the truck quickly so they could avoid traffic on return trip (saving me $$). They finished unloading in Greenfield 14 hours after being dispatched at 6 AM. They were professional, efficient, effective, careful and very experienced. They were also really nice guys and easy to work with. The entire process, from estimate to booking to payment went flawlessly. I can't say enough great things!

Five College sent 2 movers which was perfect for our job. Those guys were: a) Prompt. b) Polite and respectful of us and our belongings. c) Hardworking and efficient. The truck was empty in record time. All our stuff was in the house in good shape. I can't think of a way the service could have been better. Thanks 5C!

I would highly recommend Five College Movers! The process of moving can be stressful, but this company walked me through the entire process making me feel at ease. Their staff is so friendly & professional. They go above, and beyond. I'm not rich, and moving can be expensive, but I was so happy to find movers with affordable pricing, and still receiving the greatest service. I really appreciate this company, and I thank you for helping me.

Lilly Madru

We have never used movers and were on the fence for a while before we made the decision to hire five college movers. We went with them because they were local and had so many good reviews. We have absolutely no regrets and would 100 percent hire them again! It took so much stress off of us. We had 3 guys and they worked quickly and efficiently. They had no trouble moving our heavy items including a large piano. They were all so nice and ready and willing to help. I believe with the help of the movers we got more done in one day than we could have in two weekends by ourselves. If you’re on the fence, I say go for it! You won’t regret it!

Patricia F. Derby

The team of Matt, Chris, and Xander were excellent. Timely, accommodating, and everything in the POD was unpacked with care. I highly recommend Five College Movers!

Brian Proefrock

1772061548

I hired Five College Movers to move all my furniture to the basement/garage to get my hardwood floors redone (5 large rooms plus a piano). They were prompt, professional, courteous, and good natured, not to mention very efficient. They did the entire move in a little over an hour, then came back and moved it all back in about the same timeframe. They were extremely careful with my furniture, walls, and floors, and had to navigate tight turns down the basement stairs.I would definitely hire them again and would recommend them to anyone needing movers.

Jordyn Dg

1771521772

Five College Movers were absolutely fantastic. They were unbelievably flexible with all the changes of our moving date. We even ended up having to change from a one day to a two day move and they were ready to accommodate. They were super responsive, profrssional and reliable when planning and discussing our move. All of the movers were also very polite and treated our belongings with extreme care. Honestly, they were the least stressful part of the whole home buying process and we would recommend them over and over again.

Sarah E

The team showed up a little early and were amazing. They got everything quickly and securely wrapped and needed little direction from me which was really nice because I was feeling overwhelmed with the move. I was surprised at how little directing was needed, honestly. They made a stressful experience easy and as painless as possible. They helped with things I ran out of boxes for and items were moved with care. Excellent team, and very kind movers. Love that they set up my disassembled furniture for me, too!! Would definitely use again and highly recommend!

My family has used Five College Movers twice in the past week. Once to move an apartment from Shrewsbury to Dudley and just yesterday to move my mother from Worcester to auburn. The Movers both times were fantastic. Polite and respectful. Very accommodating and very hard working. Did everything to make sure our furniture and belongings were safe and well protected. They worked continuously non-stop. We highly recommend this moving company and we will definitely use them for all of our moving needs.
