Review Analysis
Customers rave about Anton's Moving Company as a fast, professional, and affordable moving team, with nearly 90% of feedback being strongly positive from 595 customer inputs. Clients frequently point out the movers’ efficiency, courtesy, and their ability to complete jobs swiftly without sacrificing care for personal belongings. Pricing stands out as not just competitive, but often lower than other moving services, giving customers more value for the cost.
Many note careful handling and polite staff as big differences compared to other local movers. On the flip side, some feedback highlights occasional damage to items, unexpected delays, or moves taking longer and costing more than initially quoted, issues that usually separate excellent movers from the best. While these negatives make up a small percentage, they point to inconsistencies in execution and communication. Compared to most moving companies, Anton’s earns higher marks for speed and professionalism, but, as with any large operation, a few negative experiences still occur. Most clients say the positives far outweigh these concerns, making Anton’s a top pick for moving in the Boston area and beyond.
