              I got a quote on line for 500-900$. I made sure that was going to be the price when he arrived. I told the head guy that a company was helping me pay.After everything was moved he waited until the company that was paying only had 10 min to pay to present the bill of almost 1600 dollars. He lied to them and told the company he expkained everything to me which nothing was said, except that it would be more towards the 800 dollars. Then he talked about a half truck vs a whole truck- nothing said about that! etc.. every time I tried to speak up and tell the truth he told me to " be quiet"! Then he kept degrading me and saying if you hire movers you should have toe money- well we did until they charged us double! so the company that was helping me pay had to look for funds while I felt threatend in my New apartment because he kept degrading me and wouldnt leave without payment, not even stand outside. I even gave them cold drinks and long lunches on my time. This isnt right! They should be held to the contract!

              Broken crates; broken plates; broken candleholders. Although I uploaded the entire inventory of my move to the company's website, they underestimated the time of the move by nearly double what it actually took (my estimate was 3 hours, the total time was 5.5). Not only did the move take far longer than estimated, it also cost me far more than the price quote I was given because the customer pays by the hour! The most infuriating thing was that the additional time was due to the fact that Boston Best Rate Movers sent a gigantic truck that couldn't fit in the driveways of either the pickup location or drop-off location, even though I requested a move for a "studio or 1 bed apartment" and had provided the entire inventory of my move, which made it obvious I didn't need an extremely large truck. This cost more money and time than expected and left me with multiple broken items - I highly recommend hiring a different company that provides more accurate price quotes for their services.
