Boston Moving Company Review

Joseph Coupal - Monday, February 06, 2012

You may have heard this about movers, some companies under bid and then hope to find a reason during the move to bump up the cost. Marathon won’t do this, they’ll give you the correct price up front. They’ve moved me twice into and out of storage and each time they did an excellent job. I have a very heavy and larger armoire and the previous company I used, Gentle Giant, brought a crane because it was too big to go up the stairs. I had a window taken out and they dangled it in to my bedroom.

When we moved out of that house to storage, Marathon had a crane scheduled to do the same. But on my move day, the foreman took a look at the situation, canceled the crane (saving me a bunch of money), had his guys dissemble the armoire and took it down the steps. On delivery from storage to my new house, he reassembled it in the new bedroom. I’m not sure many movers would have done that as it reduced their final bill a little.

They are excellent.

Marathon Helps Milton Pantry To Prepare For Thanksgiving

Joseph Coupal - Tuesday, November 16, 2010
Utilizing services donated by Marathon Moving Co., 20 cases containing 80 frozen turkeys and other goodies arrived at the food pantry from the Greater Boston Food Pantry on Nov. 4. The company’s services were coordinated through the efforts of Milton resident Lucas McGary, sales manager for Marathon Moving. “It is important for us to not only grow our business through quality relationships, but also to grow the quality of life in our communities through donating our time and resources,” said McGary, whose company has been helping deliver food to the Milton pantry for the past few months. He is the president of the Milton Rotary Club.

Volunteers from the community used their muscles as the heavy boxes were unloaded from the large truck. The local crew included Steve Randall, Elizabeth Menne, Jay Morise, Peter Jackson and Burton Greenlaw, while Jini Connors, co-director of the Milton Community Food Pantry, pointed the way to the freezers.

“This year we are expecting about 170 families to receive food for the holidays from the food pantry,” said Connors. “We are hoping for another 20 cases of turkeys to meet our need.” Last year, the pantry served around 183 families. This year, there are about 200 families eligible to utilize the food pantry, according to Connors. The turkeys weighed between 10 and 12 pounds, and Allen Sharpe, the mover who drove the Marathon Moving Co. truck, stacked heavy cases on his lower back, two at a time, to move them into the basement of the church. “It’s easier this way,” he said.

Canned goods, frozen chickens and other staples were also among the stash arriving from Boston. More items will be donated or purchased to help fill the shelves for the holidays at the pantry. During the holiday season, community groups, clubs and the Milton public schools also provide donations for the town’s needy. Each of the six public schools will donate boxes containing all the extras to accompany the turkeys to ensure that families can have a traditional Thanksgiving meal. “People of Milton are very generous,” said Connors. “This time of year we get many donations. The Milton Junior Woman’s Club always helps out, and one man who recently had an 80th birthday had people send donations to the food pantry instead of gifts.” Families who utilize the food pantry need to make an appointment to receive Thanksgiving meal boxes. The pantry will assemble the bags and boxes Nov. 19, and the families will pick them up Nov. 20. “The presentation is very impressive to look at,” said Connors, adding that school children decorate the boxes containing all the ingredients to help spread holiday cheer to everyone in town. To donate, volunteer or get more information on the food pantry, call (617) 696-0221
