Marathon was excellent from start to finish. I first spoke with Lillian and she was professional and seemed to truly care about what I need to get done. They provided us with used boxes and unlimited amount of paper and tape, which we picked up at their warehouse. Moving day, we had 4 gentleman and they were fast, professional and wouldn't let us lift anything. They didn't care that we kept adding stuff until the truck was full. I hope to never move again but if I do, I know who to call. Thank you Marathon Moving!

Marathon was so easy to work with, and very reasonably priced! The crew we had went well above and beyond what I had expected. They were so thorough, and professional. We had no loss or breakage of anything, and they did a great job putting larger furniture back together. We would suggest Marathon to anyone who is moving.

We used Marathon Moving recently and were thoroughly pleased. The were prompt, professional, provided every service they said they would and the price came in under what we were quoted,as they said might happen. They were most efficient at both ends of the move. We would recommend them for any move, large or small.Thank you Marathon Movers!

Love Marathon moving, they moved us from Quincy to Plymouth. We had a few bumps in selling our home and I had to store our furniture for awhile. They were very understanding and shipped the furniture when we got the okay. Very professional and helpful.

The team of guys was terrific. We used them multiple times and each and every time we could not have been more pleased. The estimates were reasonable and they actually came in at the estimate or below. The guys were careful, respectful, and polite. I recommend marathon without any reservations!
