I had an excellent experience with this moving company from start to finish. The team was professional, punctual, and incredibly efficient. They arrived on time, wrapped what was needed and handled all of my belongings with care. Communication was clear and straightforward, pricing was unbeatable with no surprises. The movers were friendly and respectful throughout the entire process. Moving is usually stressful, but they made it smooth and honestly way easier than I anticipated. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, hardworking movers. 10/10 read more

We have used Ferrick 3 times in 12 years, 2 whole-house moves and one heavy gaming table delivery that we bought online in an adjacent town. In all 3 transactions, they provided a firm, fair quote, where competitors provided an "estimate". If you know how many small, medium and large boxes (and wardrobes) your move will take, you are smarter than I am. But I prefer a quote, not an estimate. Bob Ferrick gave us a competitive quote and stuck to it! Then the actual work itself. The crews showed when they said they would, did what they said they would, and did so showing care for our belongings. We had no damage at all. Bob Ferrick is a stand-up guy who is good to his word. Maybe a competitor's "estimate' is 2% lower than Ferick's firm quote. I'll take the firm quote from an honest business every time. read more

Friendly all around but damaged my walls and furniture. They would only allow for a 6 hour minimum and the job took 4 at the most. For the price (which was outrageous!!) I should have had a fully trained crew. 2 out of the 4 crew were pretty much brand new and you could tell. I would never use Ferrick Bros again. read more

We called on Thursday needing some furniture moved to another room in a tight time frame. Susie was very friendly & helpful on the phone. Got a call the next day, the movers were very nice & did a professional job quickly. We would definitely recommend this company! Thank you. read more

Wanted to update this review because like the other past reviewer, I also found a damaged piece of furniture in one of my buffet tables that I did not discover until about a year later because it was pushed against a wall. The damage was taped up and never disclosed. Now this might not be the owner's direct fault and the fault of an individual crew member from my move in 2016 but I was disappointed to discover the cover-up long after the fact after a good impression on moving day. I wanted to corroborate the previous review by sharing. I still stand by my comments in the previous review but would like to encourage customers to exercise caution and diligence on moving day. read more

Bob came by for a quote on our move and it was spot on. The guys at Ferrick Bros were fast and efficient. They were able to get some of our super heavy furniture down from the 2nd floor without any issues to the walls or doors. They packed everything like puzzle pieces and were able to maximize our storage space to fit it all in. We will for sure be using them for the 2nd leg of our move to New Hampshire. Thanks again for the great service and reasonable prices. Angela and Christian S, Bradford MA read more

Ferrick just moved my cousin and did a really great job for a very reasonable price. After leaving a message I got a friendly call from the office that an owner, Bob, would phone me back. When he did, he outlined all the details and was very thorough in explaining everything, followed by some emails, including a contract estimate to sign and return with a deposit. Very organized and easy! He explained exactly how things would go. On move day we got a call when they were pulling out and three movers arrived right on time. They were friendly and did a careful but rapid job. On the final price, they charged less than the estimate in this case, but I'm thinking, how honest is that? They could have charged per the contract, so this shows that they are a good, honorable company. I'm recommending Ferrick Bros to anyone who needs a move in the northern MA to southern NH area. read more

If you are reading this it means you are scouring the internet looking for a mover you can trust. I was you a few weeks ago. I was really concerned because I didn't want to spend a fortune but I also didn't want my stuff thrown around by a bunch of gorillas! I wound up calling a friend who has owned several homes and businesses in the greater Haverhill area and he told me what I am about to tell you. Stop looking and call Ferrick Brothers. They moved us last week and here is what I have to say. 1. They were friendly. 2. They were incredibly quick. 3. They were careful to the point where my wife even said "wow these guys actually care about our stuff!" 4. In the end they did the job for way less than the estimate. When do you ever see anyone do anything for less than the estimate? You will deal directly with the owner (Bob) and I know you will be as impressed as I was! read more

We've used Ferrick Brothers twice. First time they did a great job. Second time not so much. Scratched furniture and some things just thrown into the storage unit. Care was not given to our items. read more

We hired Ferrick Moving to move our Family and I was very please with them. They showed up on time, we're very polite and took the time to ask questions and gave some info on how best to transport certain pieces. I would use them again and recommend them to Family and friends read more

The Job: move the contents of a three-bedroom house less than two miles down the road to a storage trailer located on our small farm. Not too tough a job, right? Oh boy...not for Ferrick Brothers! Important to know - we have moved several times, twice across the country. By a far margin, this simple (well it seemed simple) move was the absolute worst move ever. To put into perspective, we once had a moving truck blown off the highway in Oklahoma due to a tornado. That truck was turned upside down. The damage to our goods was insignificant. In contrast, this move resulted in damage on an epic scale. Three men showed up on the day of our move - an hour later than stated, but...that was the least of the issues. They set to work, and we just tried to stay out of the way. I couldn't help but overhear the men discussing their activities drinking the night before. At the time I didn't think much of this braggadocio. After all, a regional magazine designated Ferrick as the best movers in our area. Lesson learned: such designations are probably meaningless and possibly rigged in some manner. Second lesson: when people loudly talk of their drinking exploits, pay attention, it might just indicate they are not quite ready for thinking about their actions. The men packed the truck and then left for the storage trailer. This is where everything went sideways...badly. Unfortunately, just as the truck was ready to leave, several things happened at once requiring me to remain at our old house. A good friend accompanied the truck to the other location while I remained on site cleaning the rest of the debris left from the move. Later than evening, I went to the trailer and was absolutely appalled by what I saw. Picture, if you will, a pile of boxes, furniture and other items tossed willy-nilly into a trailer with no attempt at order or breakability. Prior to the move we had installed shelving units in the trailer to keep things organized. I had explained to the movers that the shelves were meant for stacking boxes, etc. Nope. In their "wisdom" the movers shoved the shelves to the back of the trailer, piling all sorts of furniture on top of the shelves and leaving boxes every which way. Due to a family crisis, I had to leave town immediately following the move and did not have an opportunity to examine the trailer for almost a month. When I returned, I realized the situation was even worse than it first appeared. Picture this: boxes marked "FRAGILE" were tossed sideways into piles that were topped with heavy furniture. A heavy exercise bike was tossed on its side on top of several boxes of good china. Boxes of books had been tossed on top of a couch; heavy boxes were piled haphazardly on top of other furniture; mattresses were placed a top light weight tables and chairs were piled on top of one another and then topped with boxes of other goods. Soft goods were covered by hard goods. In short, a massive mess of tangled boxes, furniture, electronics and other things. In order to resolve this mess, we will be forced to hire other movers (much more responsible movers!) to empty and repack the trailer. Only then will we have a clear idea of the extent of damage to our belongings. An added expense we certainly do not need amid a family crisis. My advice to anyone contemplating using this company: be careful and don't be swayed by the somewhat ironic and possibly rigged designation of "best of." Make sure to carefully supervise each aspect of the move and do not permit the movers to take any action without your direct oversight. read more

I recently moved from Haverhill to Cambridge. Ferrick Bros arrived in the morning right on time. In less than an hour my stuff was ready to go in the truck. When we found out the couch wouldn't fit into the elevator at the new apartment Bob's guys went the extra mile and brought it up through the stairs. The move latest till about lunch time by then everything was in my new apartment. I definitely recommend Ferrick Bros if you need to move around the Massachusetts area. read more

We closed quickly on our new home and were living in temp housing while all our stuff was in storage. Desperate to move into our new home quickly, Ferrick was the only local company that was available during the busy summer season and/ or called back. Another local company played phone tag for days as only the owner could book moves or give quotes. Very frustrating! Bob the Ferrick owner called us back right away and we scheduled our local move for a few days later. He quoted us an hourly rate and honestly told us final bill is based on how long it took to get out stuff out of storage and into new house. Typically he comes to house and gives you an estimate. Moving day: team of 3 was on time at 7am and got us packed up quickly and moved into new home. Move into new home was quick too. Nothing was broken or walls scuffed etc. Everyone was polite and helpful. Came in under our guesstimated costs! No $ surprises. It was a long few months but finally in new home! read more

We had Bob Ferrick and his team do a complete pack and move for us from Lawrence, MA to Salem, NH. They arrived at our house at 7:30 am, packed everything, and we were at our new home by 3:30 pm the same day. Not a single thing was broken or crushed. The team was very friendly, helpful and courteous - you can't ask for more than that! Highly recommend this company if you are considering a move in the Merrimack Valley area. read more

At last count, FOUR pieces of furniture damaged, badly Ferrick moved me in October. Here's what furniture the "movers" wrecked: 1) my father's desk--a large gouge exposing raw wood; 2) my grandfather's antique desk--broken off frontispiece; 3) my dresser--the top drawer broken (how could this even happen???); 4) ripped upholstery on my couch. Never mind the multiple broken dishes and knickknacks. Solution? From the owner, "you should have bought more insurance?" Excuse me? I thought my "insurance" was hiring competent movers who'd treat my possessions with respect. Wrong. I was offered $75 off my bill for the desk gouge, or a repair. Stupidly, I chose the repair. It's almost December and I have heard nothing. Also, I question the pricing policies of these gougers (in more ways than one!)--there's a flat fee for four hours in you live within a certain radius of the business. I do, and my move was within the radius. But because there were two stops, even though the time was within the four-hours for both stops, I was charged extra. There was no additional mileage involved, because the second stop was on the way back to the Ferrick offices. Do your self a favor--hire some clowns off the street for your move; they'll treat your stuff with more care and respect than Ferrick Brothers. read more

I have used Bob and his team for several moves, over a period of decades. They are thoughtful, careful and were extremely accommodating. If you have a need for movers, you need to talk to Bob and his team... read more

I had an old safe in my basement which everyone said it cant be moved out. Bob's team came to my house on Monday, July 1st, it was lead by Supervisor Dan, his two helpers were John and Tim... they first moved it out of the place it was in, then into the bulkhead area, which they took a few minutues to figure out the best way to get it up the flight of stairs, but all said and done from arrival to them pulling away it too them less than half an hour. YEAH thanks so much for finally getting the old safe out ..... I would recommend them any time for any job, they sure know what they are doing....,. read more

We have used Ferrick Bros. for two moves and couldn't have been happier! They were on time, polite, thorough, and quick. We chose a "cheaper" moving company for our most recent move (from Craigslist) - they never showed up, called, or answered their phone, even though they had called to confirm the day before. We got up at 4:30 am to be ready for the 9:30 am arrival of the moving van . . . never came. This was a horribly hot Friday afternoon. Obviously, we couldn't find anyone else that same day. We took a mattress and slept on the floor of our new home. Found a couple of guys to help us move the next day but we had to rent our own truck. Still a bargain. Don't try to save money - you will be wasting money and your time. Hire Ferrick Brothers. read more

Bob and his team did a great job... Highly professional and courteous, the team worked quickly and with great care to ensure that everything got from Andover to Somerville in one piece. I have moved many times in my life... Bob and his team are up with the very best. read more

I called a few months back for a quote. Instead of getting just a quote I get a lecture from the owner on where I'm moving to. How it's not safe, how I should think twice, he moves most people "in and out of that place within a month or two". I realize in his mind he thought he was being helpful but instead he made me feel very upset and nervous when I should have been feeling happy and excited. I was upset enough I'm still thinking about it and am writing this review which is something I have never done before. I'm happy to say I have been in my new place for awhile now and am very happy with it and the location. I suggest when giving out quotes you stick to business and not give out your personal opinion. read more

You may want to think twice about using this company. Booked it, sent a deposit in and had to move the date when I found out which was a couple of days before the actual move. They couldn't accommodate me when I wanted to move, so they kept my deposit. Doesn't seem right. read more

I called a couple of movers in Haverhill Ferrick was the only one courteous enough to return a call. They arrived on time, were respectful, did a wonderful job, and finished early. Can't recommend d them highly enough. A great and polite group of guys‼‼ read more

They ARE as good as it gets. Moved us fast, with courtesy, checked with us constantly about where and how we wanted our precious belongings, and did it so well and so quickly that the result came in well below our estimate. Best move we have ever had and we would recommend highly and without reservation. read more

Gave us a fixed price for the move that we felt was very fair.. Also some date flexibility when the closing dates started jumping around. Good solid conscientious crew. Not the usual alcoholics and thieves you might find elsewhere. read more

Never hire this company no matter what. I called to have 4 items moved from one house to another house 3 streets away. I got detailed information from the owner himself who explained everything to me about the pricing, they called me 30 minutes before arriving and let me know they were coming and I met them. They were real fast getting the 4 items out so I told the guys " I see this isn't going to cost more than 265$ so if that's the case I'm going to give each of the four of you a 25$ tip when you're finished, I gave them all water, offered them anything they wanted, so the had everything moved in 1 hour and 25 minutes and said ok we made it" and agreed on the 265$ cost, but I wanted to tip them too so I gave them 4 100 dollar bills ( 400$ ) and the guy wrote out a slip and the slip said 350$ cost, I asked him why it says. 350$ he changed the whole agreement then and there and said the clock starts when I leave the office" I asked him why his boss never told me or why he didn't tell me until now and how is it possible he's saying this because we spoke of the price in detail and we covered everything, but he walked away and told me to call his boss, when I asked for my 50$ change he said I don't carry change, I said ok just run to the store and get the 50$ change and I'll pay the 350$ but he said, " are we gonna have a problem and refused to give me my 50$ change, he said lock it up and they closed the back of the truck and I asked one more time I told him it is illegal to just take my money and leave and refuse to give me my change and I asked him how he thinks he can get away with this, but he got in the truck and drove away going over the curb. I called the owner and got no relief, I called the police and they spoke to the owner and then the owner came and gave me the 50$ change back, but he stood by the policy of charging me 350$ instead of 265$ because he said they have that rule but he never got a chance to send me that paperwork. I told the owner that while his employee took my money and got confrontational they didn't put my door back on or move the 2 pieces of gym equipment in the place and they said they would move it but didn't because the guy got confrontational and literally stole my money and refused to even give me my change. The owner did give me 50$ back but I got ripped off and I had to move the gym equipment 5 or 6 feet over into place by myself and I would tell anyone to never ever do any business with this company because I've never experienced anything like this before in my life. Ty One more note about the clock starting when they leave the shop is this, first I was still going to pay the money even though I disagreed, but also the owner and the crew explained they came from another job before that which could have been anywhere so they technically could have charged me anything but I live 4 minutes away from their office also and it was deceptive, it ended with me needing the police and one of their employees getting very aggressive and confrontational. Hire any other company, ty read more
