Small Time Movers should really change their name to GREAT EXPERIENCE movers. My wife and I have moved 17 times in the last 15 or so years so we have MORE THAN enough experience (including moving internationally TWICE! I have dealt with more than my share of movers, some good, some mediocre, some bad but NONE as good as Nelson & Mauricio - our team @ Small Time Movers. These guys were prompt, professional, respectful and totally attentive. They never complained, they only OVER DELIVERED time and again. This was a fairly small move of only a few of our heaviest items as we did most things ourselves but the work these 2 did has helped us tremendously to get a tough situation over with as painlessly as possible. IF you want to be treated like dirt and have your stuff destroyed, hire someone else. If you want to be treated amazingly well, and have your stuff treated like gold then hire STM and ask for Nelson and Mauricio.

It was wonderful and they were the best movers we have ever used. We have made five moves and they were the best. I give them the best rating you have. I give them A's across the board.

Edinson and Jackson called when they were on there way. Once they showed up they were professional and friendly. I was amazed by how fast (and carefully) they were able to move heavy items. They were very polite and efficient. They worked non stop. I definitely would recommend them. Also, I called several companies to receive quotes and they are very reasonably priced.

They were really really good. I was really pleased. I am going to use them again. They have good customer service and good prices. They moved me very quickly. There are no surprises on the price. They sent out three guys. They won by business because of the way they handled my price quote. They met that quote. They were pleasant.

This was, by far, the best moving experience we have ever had! Nelson came to our home to give us an estimate at the appointed time. His estimate was very accurate. We were moving from a 4 bedroom home we had owned for many years in Miami to a new 3 bedroom home in Winter Haven. Nelson and his crew showed up on time the day of the move and packed everything into the truck with excellent care of all our furniture, TVs etc. He arrived at our new home the next day, right on schedule and unloaded everything and placed the furniture and boxes in the correct rooms. The whole time, everyone treated us with the utmost professionalism. He and his crew were always willing to go the extra mile to help us. Even though we had added on more furniture than we originally estimated, the final price was within a few dollars of the original estimate. It was a real pleasure to work with this company. The professionalism, friendliness and honesty we encountered from everyone was top of the line, a rare occurrence in this day and age. Nelson and his crew are to be commended, we could not have asked for a better experience.
Description of Work: Nelson and his crew moved us from our 4 bedroom home in Miami to our new 3 bedroom home in Winter Haven. They packed all our furniture and boxes onto the truck. All the furniture and electronics were meticulously wrapped and packed in the truck with the utmost care. We have some antique furniture and accessories as well as 2 HDTVs and multiple computers and monitors. They also picked ups new chair we were taking from another location. All were delivered without mishap. We also had a multitude of boxes of "stuff" that we had accumulated over the years we lived in Miami. We had arranged for Nelson to pick everything up on Thursaday and to deliver it to us the next day in Winter Haven. Everything went smoothly and they arrived at our Winter Haven home without mishap and on time. They unloaded the truck in record time and everything was placed in the room where it belonged. They unwrapped all the furniture and electronics and put them in place.

I spoke with Nelson at Small time movers 3 weeks prior to my local move. Small time movers was the third estimate I received, and decided to enlist their service despite a few delays surrounding my initial estimate appointment. The team arrived promptly at 8am, and started my move right away. There were one or two pieces of furniture that sustained minor scratches, but certainly nothing that a wood stain marker cannot fix. Due to the massive size of my living room couch, it had to be carefully hoisted over my second floor balcony to exit my building. When they attempted to unload my couch, we realized that it would not fit in the elevator of my new condo! I was absolutely devastated, and thought I would cry until the Supervisor Gabriel Hernandez advised that he and his men would attempt to carry the couch up the equivalent of 11 flights of steep stairs!! I was told by my building maintenance manager that other moving and delivery companies would have simply left the couch, so I was extremely grateful by their exceptional effort! Overall, my move took 9.5 hours and was pretty seamless. I provided the team with an 18% tip since Small time movers provided me with excellent service, so I would highly recommend them for your next move.

Nelson and his crew arrived promptly and worked hard every second. This was important as they were being paid hourly and they were very respectful of that. We have been moved before by movers who moved the exact same amount of furniture 8 months ago, and it took them 6 hours just to unload! Compared to Nelson and his crew that took 6 hours to load, drive, lunch and then unload! Also want to mention the great care of our belongings and they were very interested to put all of the right boxes and furniture in the right rooms. They never attempted to just dump all boxes anywhere there was a open spot!

The move went very well. They handled everything very professionally. The movers wrapped the furniture well and everything was moved without any damage. I've moved a lot and it's nearly impossible to move without something getting damaged, so I was very impressed that everything was moved without incident. The movers were all very nice and professional and I would definitely recommend them and use them again.
Description of Work: I called Small Time Movers for an estimate for a local move. Someone came out the next day and gave me a quote and discussed the services they provide. I did have them handle the move which entailed mostly boxes and furniture. I did not have them do any packing or handle any artwork.

I had originally asked for just one day of service but after seeing their work and professionalism, I asked they come back the next day and help me. I would definitely use them again and would definitely recommend their services.

Better than expected, see services performed. for our moves.
Description of Work: We really did two moves - moving out of our house, before substantial remodeling work, and moving back in afterwards. We had a complicated move, since we were moving part of our things to a temporary residence, others to storage, and some to a space at our house. The services they provided included packing, labelling (some very detailed, like which books on a shelf)), sorting boxes to go different places, and moving, as well as upacking and setting in place, at both temporary residence and our house. Gabriel and Luciano were the key people who helped us through all parts of our move. They helped us with every packing detail -including taking pictures of closet shelving so we could re-create the spaces when we moved back in. Gabriel coordinated most aspects of our move, and made sure things happened when they needed to happen. Luciano "knew" where we would want to put things we moved to our temporary space, better than we could have planned. Gabriel and Luciano, with help from others at Small Time Movers, helped us get through stressful moves with a minimum of stress. I highly recommend Gabriel and Luciano, and the people who worked with them, at Small Time Movers.

With little notice, they gave me an estimate over the phone and adhered to it. On time, good natured and professional even when faced with obstacles like a broken service elevator. Nothing was broken. They packed the kitchen carefully and wrapped all furniture and electronics. They were a pleasure to work with.

It was perfect. First, Nelson came over to give us an estimate. He was very knowledgeable, helpful and responsive. Looking at our house and furniture, he said we would need 5 guys. They came early in the morning. They took great care of our furniture and belongings. They wrapped everything properly. Nothing was damaged or broken despite the stairways, tight halls, etc. They actually finished the job faster than expected so the final price was lower than the original estimate. It was a good surprise. They know what they are doing. I would definitely use them again and would recommend them to my friends.

These guys are UNBELIEVABLE!!! In a time with no customer service, Gabriel and his team go way beyond your expectations!!! Moving is a stressful time and having a team of wonderful movers takes a lot of stress out of it. This group is trustworthy and they took care of our belongings as if it were there own. I don't plan on moving for a very long time, I just hope that when the time comes Gabriel and his crew are still available!!! If anyone is moving...this is the company for you. Trust me! These guys know what they are doing!!!

They were PUNCTUAL! This is very important if you live in a condo because you just have 2 or 3 hours for moving in and moving out in these kind of buildings. I didn't have a lot of stuff, so moving was completed in less than 3 hours with 3 guys. What I liked a lot was that they wrapped all the furniture and electronics with some kind of blankets.

The great experience started when Gabriel's team arrived very promptly on the day of the move. This is remarkable due to the fact that this is MIAMI. A place where many people haven't heard of the invention of clocks. Then, they all moved on in and started right away. They were efficient and worked for 6 hours straight. Treated my large pieces like I would treat my large pieces. Thank you!

I called around for estimates about a week before the planned move and pricing was very similar ranging from $60-90/hr (dcdepending on hourly minimums, distance and truck requirements). After seeing the positive reviews on AL I decided to go with Small Time Movers. I spoke to Alex who was very friendly and professional on the phone and arranged a 3pm time for the Saturday for two men. On the Friday they called me to reconfirm the appointment which was nice. One problem, on the Saturday one of the scheduled guys took ill and they needed extra time to find a replacement. I recognize that this happens and they were good enough to call me in advance and let me know. Alex and Milton arrived at 4pm, apologized for the delay and immediately got to work. They reorganized some of the items that I had already loaded so as to make the packing more efficient and managed to squeeze just about everything in. There were some quite heavy pieces and with just the two of them it was sometimes a bit awkward getting them down from the second floor and around tight corners. A couple of items got slightly dinged but nothing major. We worked straight through to 8.30pm and overall they did a great job. Would highly recommend them.

Our experience with Nelson and his crew several times this Summer to move from a three bedroom house to a smaller townhouse. The price was the average per move, and it was every bit worth it. They were careful, on time and extremely polite. Upholstered pieces were wrapped in plastic and case pieces were covered and taped with mover's blankets. Nothing was damaged, in all the whole move was professional and very satisfactory. I would definitely recommend them.

These three men were excellent! Gabriel, Luciano, and Gerry were very respectful, knowledgable, strong, and came prepared, and really knew how to make a difficult job almost enjoyable. Moving is difficult at best, but they were really an A plus moving company. They never complained throughout the process of the work.

Excellent experience. Nelson called day prior to move to reconfirm the details. Nelson & staff arrived on time & ready to begin immediately. They introduced themselves & were very friendly as they surveyed exactly what needed to be accomplished. The three men worked quickly & efficiently. They were very careful with all the items as well as being careful of walls, doorways etc. The truck they used was clean & of adequate size for the job. I can not stress how tirelessly they worked & completed the move in as brief a time as humanly possible. Everything arrived in perfect condition & was placed as requested. We were extremely happy with their service and will hire them again. I reccomend Small Time Movers for professional, efficient, friendly, and careful service. No worries with this company.

In a town where no one seems to own a watch or place any value on time, these people are an incredible gem. They are reliable, professional, reasonably priced, arrive on time, and work fast.

Everyone I dealt with was very professional. The prices quoted up front were in the range I was eventually charged (we didn't know before hand how long it would take to move everything.) Everything was wrapped before moving, and nothing broke or was even scratched. Excellent job all around. Thanks SmallTime.
