Dolly - On-Demand Moving and Delivery Service Launching in Boston

Dolly - On-Demand Moving and Delivery Service Launching in Boston

Company will serve entire Boston market - set to recruit nearly 300 local truck owners to join its growing moving and delivery fleet

BOSTON – Dolly, a startup focused on reinventing the moving and delivery experience, is launching in Boston. Starting September 19th, customers across the Boston metro area will be able to book a Dolly to help with local apartment moves, delivery from local retail stores, Craigslist pick-ups, and more.

Dolly will enter Boston having completed nearly 100,000 moves, retail deliveries and other jobs since its launch. More than 95 percent of jobs receive 5-star customer ratings, and personal referrals are the company’s number-one source of new customers, according to Dolly CEO, Mike Howell.

Howell expresses his enthusiasm about entering the market, “Boston is one of our most requested markets. Dolly’s truck and muscle will provide a stress-free and affordable way for Bostonians to move big and bulky items, on their schedule. You can book a Dolly with our app or online, and we’ll connect you with a local truck owner (“Helper”) who is ready to help with the heavy lifting. With 37% of Bostonians being car-less, it’s the answer to an urban prayer.”

The Seattle-based company plans to add 200-300 Boston Helpers to its platform within the next year. Dolly currently works with more than 2,000 Helpers across its fleet and serves Chicago, Seattle, Denver, and San Diego.

Dolly is the alternative to traditional movers and overly cumbersome retail delivery. It’s a fast, easy, and affordable way to get help with apartment moves, pick up purchases on Craigslist, or have items delivered from stores like Lowe’s, Crate & Barrel, and IKEA. The average cost is between $60-80 and a Dolly can be booked through the app or online at Dolly.com.
