Another vote for Stairhoppers. We used them yesterday for our move (a 2-br apartment with pretty big furniture, about 35 boxes of books, and a LOT of plain ol' STUFF) into a larger place in Cambridge. They arrived 15 minutes early and got started immediately, worked quickly and efficiently, and were very friendly the whole time, despite the heat. We had some problems once we got to the new place (don't get me started on the bureaucratic incompetence that is the Cambridge parking office) involving the lack of a moving permit and therefore the catch-as-catch-can parking situation we ended up with, but even with those limitations, they managed to parallel-park the truck on a narrow, one-way street, and they were very careful about overhanging trees while they were at it. Their estimate for time and cost was just about dead-on. While they don't exactly make moving FUN, as their slogan claims, it did make it less stressful and onerous.
