We have now used Aviv twice. They are the most reasonably priced movers in the area, they are fast, take great care of your personal belongings, and are just all around great.
AVIV was extremely responsive and flexible when I needed to do a last minute date change. The movers did a great job and worked extremely hard.
I've hired Aviv for 3 local moves in the Boston area. Always showed up on time and worked very efficiently. Recently, they loaded and unloaded in less than 4 hours.
Negative Aviv Moving & Storage Reviews
Every day we are finding broken items. SO MANY ITEMS DAMAGED. ITEMS MISSING and NOT DELIVERED AND THEY CAN'T FIND THEM.
On the day of the move, after loading all the stuff in the truck, they gave me a price of more than 12,000, 2.5 times the initial estimate.
Yelp
They damaged my furniture and damaged the walls in my new house. It took them 3 days to respond, and they denied my claim.
Neutral Aviv Moving & Storage Reviews
Eventually at the end of the day, I found one foot of an IKEA chest was completely broken. The receipt I got was $1159, and he asked me for a tip.
The move was pretty painless. That said, to my surprise, they broke my desk and didn't put it together so I wouldn't notice till after they had left.
