208 helped us make a big move from Boise to Portland, and they were awesome. Ju-Li and Sam were quick, careful, professional and patient — helped move and arrange anything we needed, and made sure everything arrived safely and undamaged. If you need movers in Boise (or from Boise), 208 is a fantastic choice.

We had a very action-filled moving job for the company. Longer hours than expected; our belongings were (too) many! :) Rhett, Cameron and Keaton worked their young tushes off for us. They barely took time to catch their breath. Good job, guys. God forbid we have to move again, but if we do, you will be the first called. Refreshing to meet young men unafraid of work!!!!!

I have used several moving companies in the past and none of them were as good as 208 Moving Company. Cody, Sam and Dane moved our belongings with the utmost care! They even put blanket protection on the door frame of the front door. They wrapped all of our furniture and didn't cause any damage! We have some very fragile glass furniture! I've never experienced such a professional moving team as this! This price for moving us 50 miles one way was very reasonable. I don't plan on moving again, but if I must, I will absolutely use 208 Moving Company! I would HIGHLY recommend them!

The movers themselves were very careful with everything, kept me apprised of their progress, and every step of the way on costs.
