I've had less-than-stellar inter-state moving experiences in the past, so I was a bit nervous about my move from Boston to the Midwest, but Poseidon was fantastic. Jann, from the office, helped me schedule everything very easily and was always incredibly responsive and kind.
Jenn K.

Ky & his crew were amazing. Punctual, careful, friendly, and they had moving down to a science. They made sure to take care of all my furniture, wrap everything that I had not wrapped yet myself, and even double wrap everything that I had already attempted myself. 10/10 and will use again!!!
Alexa C.
Highly recommend Poseidon for moving and storage, especially as a college student. Both admin and the moving teams were friendly and professional. All my items were returned in perfect condition and the moves themselves were very quickly executed despite not having an elevator and the weather being very hot..

Great Moving Company! The company was very professional. They were good to communicate and remind me through email of the move date and the timeframe to expect their arrival.
