We read 24 reviews across Trustpilot; one signal stands out — 7 of the 24 dated Trustpilot reviews we read fall within 30 days (2024-06-22 to 2024-07-18); Trustpilot shows 48 reviews in total over at least 50 months, which spread evenly would be about 1.0 per 30 days. Read the cited reviews yourself. Clustering in review dates is a timing observation. Timing alone does not establish whether reviews are authentic or fabricated, or whether the business engaged in fraud.

- ON RECORDFollow-up: a page first read as another business lists this company itself
The permitted Boston Space Storage pages identify Poseidon Moving as a partner, describe its local Brookline movers, link to poseidonmoving.com, and list 617-470-9950 for Boston Space Storage.
No state-register or FMCSA filing, shared individual, Poseidon address, succession, or rebranding statement was verified because the mandatory source restriction allowed only bostonspacestorage.com; the site gives Boston Space Storage an address in Brighton, not Brookline, and a customer review speculates that Alex and Oleg were owners without identifying them as Boston Space Storage personnel.

The SlideServe page presents Local Movers Boston as a Poseidon Moving and Storage business and gives the phone number 617-470-9950, the website poseidonmoving.com, and a Boston address, but it does not establish a Brookline address, ownership, shared people, state or FMCSA filing, succession, or rebranding.
Only the specified SlideServe page was reviewed, so no government filings, FMCSA records, shared individuals, Brookline address, or consumer statements about succession or rebranding were verified.

What kind of company is this?
The captured federal record lists a carrier role. This alone does not establish current interstate household-goods authority or guarantee who will perform your move.
The captured FMCSA record reports interstate household-goods authority. Confirm its current status and the operating carrier before booking.
How long this company’s website has existed, from Internet Archive records. Very new websites are a common scam signal.

What we checked
- Federal operating authority (FMCSA)Active federal authority: carrier. Observed Oct 19, 2026. Carrier, broker and freight-forwarder authority are separate categories. This federal result does not determine its eligibility for in-state moves; see the separate state-registry check.
- Federal interstate household-goods carrier authorityThe captured FMCSA record reports interstate household-goods carrier authority. Observed Oct 19, 2026. Confirm the actual operating carrier and any separate operating restrictions for your move.
- State household-goods licenceWe searched State household-goods mover registry (checked Oct 9, 2026) and found no record for this business. That may mean it is not licensed in this state, or that it operates under a different legal name — it is not itself proof of a violation.
- Federal BIPD insurance filing (dated record)On-file BIPD amount ($750,000) met or exceeded the recorded requirement ($750,000). Cargo coverage is a separate question. As observed Oct 19, 2026; confirm current coverage before booking.
- Cancelled or revoked insurance filings on record8 cancelled or revoked insurance filings on record with FMCSA. Review the filing dates and reasons. This history does not by itself mean the company is currently uninsured. In each case FMCSA records a filing of the same coverage type in effect on the cancellation date. FMCSA’s files hold 33 filing records for these 23 filings; 10 later records on filings that had already ended are listed but not counted. FMCSA’s authority history also records 12 involuntary revocation actions (served 2026-03-31, disposition DISCONTINUED REVOCATION decided 2026-04-06; served 2025-08-11, disposition DISCONTINUED REVOCATION decided 2025-09-05; served 2024-08-09, disposition DISCONTINUED REVOCATION decided 2024-09-06; served 2023-08-09, disposition DISCONTINUED REVOCATION decided 2023-09-01; served 2022-09-09, disposition DISCONTINUED REVOCATION decided 2022-09-27; served 2022-08-11, disposition DISCONTINUED REVOCATION decided 2022-08-22; served 2021-12-29, disposition DISCONTINUED REVOCATION decided 2022-01-25; served 2021-07-29, disposition DISCONTINUED REVOCATION decided 2021-08-18; served 2021-04-29, disposition DISCONTINUED REVOCATION decided 2021-05-05; served 2020-12-30, disposition DISCONTINUED REVOCATION decided 2021-01-15; served 2020-03-31, disposition DISCONTINUED REVOCATION decided 2020-04-15; served 2015-08-10, disposition DISCONTINUED REVOCATION decided 2015-08-13), 2 revocation or suspension orders (INVOLUNTARY REVOCATION, served 2022-02-25, effective 2022-03-30; INVOLUNTARY REVOCATION, served 2021-02-22, effective 2021-03-29), 2 authority actions with a revocation, suspension or out-of-service disposition (REINSTATED served 2021-04-07, disposition REVOKED decided 2022-03-30; GRANTED served 2014-11-10, disposition REVOKED decided 2021-03-29) and 2 reinstatements (served 2022-04-08, 2021-04-07).
- Review ratings compared across sourcesStar ratings are within 0.6 stars of each other across 3 review sources, each with at least 10 reviews.
- Address and operating-location evidenceProperty use and a customer-accessible operating facility have not been established. A registered address, mailing address and local office can serve different purposes.
Address use and operating locations
A registered office, mailing address and operating facility can be different places. Residential or mailbox use alone does not establish improper operation.
No current source-backed property-use determination is available. This is a verification gap, not proof of a false address or a verified operating facility.
Company connections
Other businesses that share an identifier with this company, searched Oct 10, 2026. A shared phone, email, address or registration number is a documented fact. On its own it does not establish common ownership or a corporate relationship; that is stated separately for each entry.
