Very happy with my experience contracting Ayer Moving and Storage. The movers William and Tyler were Professional, Respectful, Friendly and quick. They come highly recommended and would definitely make a point of requesting them with any future moves. Moving can be stressful but they made it easy. Thank you for providing me with outstanding service!

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value
The movers showed up on time and ready to work. They diligently completed the move without any breaks going over and beyond what was asked of them originally in order to help us out. Timely, friendly, professional and efficient. Can't thank you all enough for coming to our rescue at the last second!

I’m Ten and Dan Peterson. We used your service on Thursday 12 August. We are so happy with this moving company. The price is underestimate which is make us so happy. Team that you sent to us today was AWSOME, super nice. I feel bad for them to work on the hottest day. We bought them a brunch of water and cooler also lunch. Those kids are great for doing this job. Thank to Allyson (i’m not sure about her name) I talked to her on the phone first-time I can feel she is really nice lady that why we choose your company. Thank you so much again.

We had to move my parents into assisted living on short notice (less than a week). Karen was able to adjust the schedule to get us a crew. They were the most efficient and friendly moving crew I have ever had. The estimate was for 4 hours, buy they finished in 2.5. That saved us over $250. They were very respectful towards my 90++ year old parents and their furniture. This is a great company to work with.

We were a little anxious over the move, but Karen was very nice to deal with. As the owner, she always returned our calls/emails promptly and answered our questions. The office staff were pleasant to deal with and our three movers were outstanding. The movers, with William as the leader, showed up on time, started working right away and took the steps necessary to make sure our furniture was well cared for.
Very happy.
Very happy.

Horrible
Awful, awful, awful experience. If you use them, GET THE INSURANCE. We moved out of state from Massachusetts last month. We were quoted 4 movers and 8 hours, they came in 2 shifts and each time had 3 movers, 1 was only responsible for logging and labeling so we really only had 2 movers. It obviously took well over 8 hours total. That's not the worst part. When our truck arrived to Kansas City, they opened the door and there were boxes and furniture just thrown about, not just move related shuffling but everything was everywhere. We had damages to almost every piece of wood furniture

I had a great experience with Ayer Moving and Storage. The team of guys that showed were careful and diligent. I used their services to pack loose items in boxes and they made sure appropriate items were packed together. They worked very hard and efficient. I would highly recommend using them!

I highly recommend Ayer moving and storage. This has been the best experience that I have had moving.
Their crew was courteous, professional and responsive. In a situation where closing day took place during a major snow storm I appreciated the flexibility and support.
My experience far exceeded my expectations

Just finished a 4 day move with this company. It was an utter disaster from pack day to delivery day. The crew wouldn't take a tv off the wall or move items from attic and the salesperson selling the company to me said these would not be a problem. Crew arrived without box cutters or packing materials. Some crew were day temps with no training. My furniture was badly damaged and / or lost as a result of careless handling. The president of the company at best told me it was a busy moving week so I shouldn't expect much and at worst, hung up on me when I phoned to address a concern with

Communication was definitely lacking. I had to contact them on a regular basis to figure out when they were picking up my stuff and when they were delivering everything. The only time they ever contacted me was to pick up my stuff a day earlier than scheduled or when I wanted a re-weigh on my shipment ( which they said they frowned upon that). Everything did make it safely to my destination. Evelyn was very helpful with all of my questions and concerns.

Is one star required? Why can't I reward zero stars, or .5?
Spend the extra money, and use a different company!!
This was by far the worst move I've ever experience out of my 3 moves so far (state to state, not within the same state). The crew that came to my residence was extremely unprofessional, and shady. They worked at a very slow pace, and took frequent breaks. The inventory they created was almost impossible to read and later came back to haunt me when I tried to file damages and claims against them.
My wife is still missing a necklace and pair of ear rings which thankfully
