A note from Edward Perkins: Harbor Moving has been my business since 2014, when it ran on a single truck. Today we pack, move and store for Boston households and offices and run interstate trips as well. Every shipment is insured. Phone +1 (978) 443-6189; our door is at 59 Church St, Dorchester, MA 02122.
