    Great local movers.

    Manager very responsive with emails and followed through with calls for details. Movers were punctual and communicated their questions and plans frequently. Quote was spot on (they go high and it wound up being less). Nothing damaged and was happy with the service. Se hablan español.

    Ignore Previous negative Review.

    Please ignore my previous post.  It was a knee [EDIT] reaction to a frustrationing buying and selling a home experience.  Oscars Moving immediately reimbursed my $89 and took the charge off of my card.  They even called my home and stated they did so and were very gratious and appologetic.  I am embarrassed that I posted so quick.  Please consider Oscars Moving in Cambridge MA for your next move.  They are a very good company and even though they have to deal with people like me LOL  I am sorry for the negative post.

    Scared out of my mind

    The movers pretty sure it was Kyle and Mike got in a fight mid-move and I had to play therapist trying to get them to just finish - had my phone with 911 dialed the whole move. The move was from Boston to Dc but the actual moving company I hired which was Annabelles didn't show and they sent Oscars - stay away this is a scam moving company in Boston

    Rude, impolite and ill-mannered people.

    Called twice to get a quote on a move, and got to two different people. No difference. Corporate training seems to be working well: They were both rude, ill-mannered and impatient. I tried going through the list of items on the move as they lost patience, and didn't even suggested going and filling a form online, as all other companies I called. Latter operator was either drunk and high, shouted at me for being imprecise, and ended up hanging the phone. Don´t even think about this.

    Bad movers.

    So, I just came back from 17 years in the Corps, and I needed to move my belongings from a 2 story house in Avondale to Buckeye. So, they were late, spoke broken English, and had no professional courtesy or manners. They acted as if I were bothering them. Like they were doing me a favor, and unhappy about it. They were inconsiderate about care for my things, rushed, and did not pack carefully. They came late and left late. During the transport of my things, they had the audacity to ask for gas money!! (What??!!) then they tried to hit me with a surcharge for stairs, even though the contract clearly specified a 2 story house (meaning stairs, as I don't know of homes that come equipped with elevators). They did not confer with me about where my belongings should go in my new house. Then, at the end of it all, they close the truck, and got ready to drive away. I had them open the doors, and there was insofar my dressers. You can't believe how nice they were when I told them I was going to call the police. This company is a sham. BAd price scaling, terrible service, NO GAS, and they tried to steal my furniture. DO NOT use this service. You will regret it.
