I hired this company to send a few guys to my house to load my stuff into shipping containers for a cross-country move. DN Van Lines does moves as well, but cant vouch for them there because I used Smart Move to provide the containers and do the actually shipping from Boston to Seattle.
The charge was $119/hr for 3 men (total), plus $119 charge for their trip to my house and back. This seems to be the going rate in the Boston area.
The guys came late (1.75 hrs after the end of the 3-hr window when they were supposed to come), but they were great. They were very nice and courteous, took great care with my boxes and furniture, and worked very efficiently. It took them 2.5 hrs to load my large 1-bd apartment into 3 containers. The guy I booked with, also at DN Van Lines, called several days before to confirm everything, called the day of the move to alert me to the delay in the men's arrival, and called the morning after to follow up and get my feedback. So, despite the delay, I was quite happy with the whole deal.
