We moved from SF to Boston in mid-March and 5 Star Moving labor helped us pack our POD in SF. Arturo and Eduardo were amazing! They communicated very well, showed up on time, were very nice, packed the POD brilliantly, and were very thorough. We unpacked the POD about a week ago in Boston, and everything looked great. I attribute the fact that our belongings arrived in such good shape to Arturo and Eduardo's packing job. I am so appreciative of their expertise with moving and packing a POD and I highly recommend them to anyone else who needs help moving.

Really great experience with 5 Star Moving. They were professional during the consultation and planning phase. And on moving day Arturo and his team were amazing. They loaded our POD amazingly well and were very careful with all of our belongings. I would definitely recommend 5 Star Moving for any of your moving needs.

Great work in a timely manner. I live on the 3rd floor and hired them to unload my 16’ large POD container. Got it done swiftly and carefully. Would use their service again.

Get To Know Us

What can a customer expect after booking with you?

After booking, you will receive an email that provides the phone number for 5-Star Moving. We do our very best to call clients within 48 hours. However, during the busy season sometimes it’s best to contact us if you want to go over your move details!

What can a customer expect on moving day if they hire you?

The movers will always call the day of your move if we are running at all behind, if you don’t hear from us this is usually a good sign, it means we are on track so try not to stress!

How should a customer prepare for moving day?

Having items well boxes is the #1 time saver and a sure way to keep your bill as low as possible. If you have 1 container, expect the move to take 2 to 3 hours. If you have 2 containers expect the move to take 4 to 6 hours. Remember - lamps, lamp shades, and small items should be boxed if you want them to arrive safely to your destination. Small items in general can increase the move time by double so having all these items in boxes really does help. Buy plastic wrap, straps and blankets for us.

What types of moves have you handled?

We on an average load of 60+ containers/month. Meaning our movers are extremely versed in the art of PODS loading. We also do truck work and have been in the moving industry for over 10 years. Some of our veteran loaders have been in the industry for 20+ years. Whoever shows up, rest assured you’re in good hands.

What's your favorite part about being a mover?

Our favorite part of being a mover is the satisfaction of a job done right. We see every day poorly loaded rental trucks and POD containers, we also see the frustration from those clients who have poor experiences. We love when the client is watching with his/her eyes wide open while we wrap their valued belongings.

What training do you provide your crew members?

All of our team members are carefully trained. They all know and understand the price of furniture and the value. Because of this, they take extra caution when loading your items. They also expect to have the right materials to do their job properly, this is why it’s important for you, the client, to always have the 3 essentials - plastic wrap, blankets and ratchet straps (NOT ROPE!).
