For our recent move we hired Viking, the whole team was extraordinarily efficient professional and responsible. Much of our furniture was extraordinarily heavy and valuable they did an excellent job moving everything with care and the upmost efficiency. I would recommend them to off friends and family.

From start to finish, these guys were super easy to work with. Really professional attitude even when we weren't sure about which pieces should be in which rooms. Everything was wrapped up super well, too. They finished in under the time they quoted me; I can't think of too many times a service was cheaper than the initial quote. 11/10 would move with Viking again.

Highly disappointing, unethical & disrespectful - I would strongly recommend to others to look elsewhere for moving services after our horrible experience with Paul & Taran. The crew that packed & cleaned out our home, left huge holes in walls, broke furniture, & left a significant amount of furniture & belongings behind. Taran (the supervisor) was informed by the lead for the crew yet did nothing to pro actively correct the issues - instead choosing to ignore it & be annoyed when we discovered it.
Move in day was no better however even after personally speaking with the owner, Paul, about our experience. They knowingly delivered furniture broken beyond repair & simply said nothing. Picture frames were broken, scratches left in things. The owner Paul displayed severely unethical practices when he literally delivered an unusable desk to me & acknowledged to us that he was very much aware aware it was beyond repair, yet chose to have his crew wrap it up & deliver it without a word. A pack of true Vikings would have done a better job.

We used Viking Movers in late October for a local move and were so pleased with how smooth the process went. Viking Movers will provide all of the boxes, and then only charge for what is used after moving day. The movers were timely and considerate of moving (multiple times) items into the appropriate spaces. Moving is stressful and dramatic and unfortunately we will have to move again in the coming months and will be using Viking Movers once again as they made an already stressful process much more streamlined.

Viking moved our household goods to our new house in a nearby town. Every aspect of their service met or exceeded our expectations. Every person that they sent was friendly, efficient and took great care of our possessions and home. They were very conscious of COVID precautions and observed all. I recommend them without any reservation.

I have personally used Viking Moving Services twice, and both times they were amazing! The first time was to move my family out of a 4-bedroom house into a 2-bedroom apartment. Their VODS (Viking On-Demand Storage) units are incredibly convenient and super easy to use and schedule. Also, we had a very expensive and delicate hybrid piano we had to have moved.
The team was super professional and took excellent care of the instrument from Point A to Point B (their climate-controlled storage was a must for us!). The second time we called on Viking was for a community fundraiser. We again used a VODS unit, and we had the same seemless experience. Taran and the whole Viking team are professional, caring, and responsive. If you are moving or need extra storage for the time-being, called Viking - you won't be sorry!

We have used Viking Moving Services for both a move and are currently using them for storage. From the estimate, to confirmation, to the move itself Viking was wonderful. They used such care in packing and moving our belongings- it was the first time that we have moved and something wasn't broken. The storage container that they brought to my driveway appeared brand new it was so clean.

Viking consistently provides exceptional and personal service. My family and I have used them no less than 5 times over the past 10 years - which clearly speaks for itself. They are always punctual and efficient and do it all with a smile. Most importantly, they take tremendous care of your possessions and give you peace of mind that all will arrive safely and timely, which it always has.

WoW I can't say how wonderful everyone is at Viking from beginning to end they just simply were the best. I have moved in the past few years from Boston to AZ then to FL. And this company by far was the best movers I've seen. Caring and kind for your valuables helping you out when you get to your destination is just unbelievable. I had something wrong with one of my bed rails they sent someone right out to fix it. I'm older now and the respect that they give you and the fun they have doing their job makes you feel at ease.
I had a 5 man crew from Lunenburg to Littleton and they made me just sit back and relax and they would do anything I wanted. Now who do you know in the moving business that their so caring that they give you a hug. I mean really the best. So I highly recommend them they all are wonderful from the office to all the men who helped me I just want to give them a big shout out and say Thank you!

Viking Moving Services of Concord MA, and their team did a wonderful job moving our son from Cambridge to Boston recently. They were early, ready, fast, worked hard and made the entire day for us much smoother. I would highly recommend this company to anyone needing moving help. Super professional, nice to chat with and very attentive to details. Would call them again in the future! Robin Shapiro

I just finished up a move and I used Viking Moving and Storage out of Concord. Earlier this month I contacted Viking Moving for a quote and was quickly contacted by Taran Oleary. I scheduled an appointment for Taran to come out and provide me with a no obligation quote. What made Viking much different than the other moving company quotes was the fact he had the quote to me within a few hours, yes a few hours.
All the other moving companies said they would have the quotes to me within a day or so when in fact it took several days some almost a week. Moving day finally came, the guys showed up with two trucks, 1 with a VOD and quickly got to work. They were beyond professional, courteous and very easy to talk too. The best part is they did not complain about having to move some stuff up a short hill in my side yard.
The movers were work horses and didn't stop until they were done. Our previous experience with hiring a moving company was terrible, they showed up late, spent half their time in our bathroom, stole prescribed medication from our linen closet and best of all did nothing but complain the entire time. I highly recommend Viking Moving and Storage out of Concord. Job well done and look forward to working with them again. Ryan

As a corporate tradeshow manager with 12+ years of experience overseeing very high-end equipment being packed and loaded for long distance transport, from state to state. I honestly could not be more disgusted! Three hour minimum at $160 an hour, they sent me two prima donnas that barely broke a sweat. one that was way too busy making sure his designer sunglasses were on right to give any attention to how he carried or packed my things.
Total waste of money! I hired a second mover that charged, way less, weren't arrogant jerks and took care of all of my things like they were their own! Shame on you Viking!

Just finished with a speedy and completely worry free move with Viking! These guys were recommended by our realtor and I'm very glad we went with them. Every aspect of this move (from JP to Concord) was fast, friendly and efficient (to steal a phrase from Suzan C.). We took estimates from three companies but Taran at Viking was the only one who took the time to come to our apartment and scope it out in person.
He even knew the owner of the house we were moving to in Concord (it's a pretty small town) and he set up a time to do a dry run of our driveway since it is pretty tricky for a truck to navigate! On moving day, the three man crew showed up on time and were total pros. They checked in with us on everything and were cheerful the whole time. At the end, the price was right on target. Not really much else to say but give Viking a call if you're thinking of moving! You'll be glad you did.

This review is for Viking's customer service - the movers themselves were fast and efficient so that was fine. There was a misunderstanding about the cost but rather then explain to me why this has to be that way and offer any incentive to call them again, Taran was short and rude on the phone, with frankly a rather belligerent tone. I judge a company by how they deal with unhappy customers (no matter the reason) and in this case it wasn't good. Zero stars for the company, one star for the movers themselves.

I recently moved. I called Viking Moving in Acton. Taran promptly came to my home to give me an estimate. Shortly after, he emailed all the relevant information. The truck showed up as scheduled on move day. The three men were courteous and professional. They worked really hard. The move on the other end involved three flights of stairs. The move went extremely smoothly. Everything arrived undamaged. I highly recommend this company if you need to move!
