Our Story: Every day Humboldt sets out moving families all over the world with one goal in mind: to ease the stress brought along by transition. This commitment was started more than 100 years ago with the unrelenting work ethic of Harris Goldman. By 1950, Harris' three sons were running the family business, now called Humboldt Storage and Moving. Through the hard work of the sons, Humboldt had grown beyond the local, residential moving company created by Harris into one of most proficient moving companies Massachusetts had to offer. Through a newly formed relationship with United Van Lines, Humboldt was one of the few companies with nationwide relocation services for all types of moves: residential, corporate, office and more. One thing had not changed over the years though, and that was the Goldman family's understanding that moving could be stressful and their commitment to ensuring smooth transitions for their clients. Today Humboldt is under the guidance of Howard and D'Arcy Goldman, third generation proprietors. Humboldt has developed relationships with some of the country's largest companies, assisting in everything from relocating key employees globally to storing priceless pieces of artwork. Why Choose Us: Humboldt Storage and Moving has a deep passion within its family of employees to be empathetic and genuinely caring. We make it a priority to understand your specific fears, worries and the stresses you associate with uprooting your life or moving your office. With Humboldt on the job, you can sit back and relax, knowing you are in good hands. We are a full-service moving company that goes to great lengths to ensure that our customers can focus on the excitement, promise and opportunity of moving to a new place, without worrying about the hassles. There is a good reason you are moving. Focus on that, and leave the hard work to our professionally trained move coordinators and crews for any residential or corporate moving project in Massachusetts. You’ll be glad you did.

They were first rate. They handled our items with care and delivered our shipment cross country in a matter of days. We were told that they were just as careful and professional on the other end as they were with us.
Moving is stressful but they made it easy. They were also very fair in pricing our job. Professional in every way. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Look elsewhere, do yourself a favor.



They moved my 86 year old father from one assisted living facility in Andover MA to another facility near Charleston, South Carolina. Sales guy was very thorough and friendly, but that's where their service ENDS! They assigned us a move coordinator, so you think that you are in good hands. A JOKE, and a bad one. This guy never returns calls.



So he called me when they were packing up in Andover, MA (they were on time and good packers) and asked if the containers were there. I told him no, and he said he will look into why not and get back to me. He does not call back that day. I call him the next day and he apologizes for not getting back to me, and then tells me that the truck had broken down and they were loading the containers in the yard right now. He said he would check on it and call me back right away. He did not call me back at all.



My dad’s furniture was to be delivered to South Carolina on Wednesday 8/20/14, 6 days after packing. Seemed OK, but was hoping for sooner. The move coordinator is supposed to call the day before scheduled delivery to provide a two hour delivery window. Did not hear from him, so called him late Tuesday 8/19/14 and he informed us that there was a delay and hopefully it would be their Friday, but most likely Monday. Furious to say the least as there are so many more details that it will take an hour to write. We had to call him? So, Thursday 8/21/14 at 4:30 PM we get a call that the furniture will be delivered Friday 8/22/14 morning between 8:30 and 10:30. 10:30 comes and nothing, so we call the move coordinator and he tells us it’s on its way. SURE? Around 11:30 he calls to ask us how it's going and we inform him that no one has showed up. He said he will get right back to us. SURE?



Meanwhile we are stressing, called him a few times and into voice mail we go. Finally, about 2:00, they show up.



Their company slogan is relax and get moving, and every email you receive from them tells you no stress, etc.



As mentioned, save yourself the stress and look elsewhere. They missed delivery by two days. They NEVER return phone calls, and overall the worst moving experience I have ever had.
