This was not a move… It was simply dropping boxes off. My move occurs on 11/21.
Very professional, trustworthy and conscientious movers.
Great crew
We had used Gentle Giant for a move here in Hingham from one home to another so I knew I could trust the company for the interstate move. The NYC crew called with the arrival time window, they arrived promptly and immediately started working to organize, inventory and pack up my son’s apartment. They were professional, courteous, helpful and efficient. The NYC apartment move out went so smoothly we were very pleased. We had a similar experience when the new crew of movers arrived at the drop off destination. Just as polite and professional as the other crew. We will definitely use Gentle Giant for future moves.
Nothing broke – always a plus!
This experience was beyond wonderful! The three workers were skilled and efficient. They worked at the speed of light. I would definitely refer my friends and family.
This is the 4th or 5th time I have used Gentle Giants. I am a huge fan and this latest experience reaffirmed every positive I have to say about GG. Thank you!

The crew members were efficient, polite, neat, careful and totally professional. They did an outstanding job and deserve recognition.
Never used movers before but had seen what others went through. Gentle Giant has sold me on your company. Movers Clay and Bjorn were so efficient, polite and outstanding in all aspects of the move. Your video showing trainees going up and down steps was right on. They wore masks but were never out of breathe. I had seven inside steps as they managed them individually as well with each other on the large items. The steps were the main reason I decided to use your company. I have already spread the word about your company and will use you in the future.
