Steve (one of the owners) and his crew are the only movers I would ever use. They've moved me more times than I can count. I've even used their packing services on occasion, what a life saver that was! They were very patient when trying to decide on furniture placement, as well as any time I needed to re-arrange furniture in a room. The crew is hard working, professional, courteous and funny!
Description of Work: Steve and crew have moved me many times, usually in/out of residences w/multiple floors, even across country. Pricing has always been competitive but I would pay more to use a company I trust.

Mike and his movers recently removed all the furnishings from my house into my garage so that I could have my hardwoods refinished. His price was very fair for moving the furnishings out and back in a week later (2 moves) Mike and his team were very careful with the furniture and wrapped items to keep them from scratching, they disassembled item (beds, tv, stereo etc) and even arranged items in the garage so that they could still be accessed if necessary. When they moved all the furnishings back into the house Mike was very cautious not to scratch the newly finished hardwoods and even applied felt pads to the bottom of all the furniture. I don't plan on moving again any time soon but if I did Purple People Movers is my top choice.

Provider said they'd come to move a bed for me. I even agreed to a high price because I needed the service quick and in a particular time frame. Should have taken them maybe an hour. They first said they would come between 1-3, I agreed. When I asked if i could slide to 1:30, they said they wanted the option of 12:30, when I said I had to double-check with the owner of the property, they gave my time slot away (this was like 2 hours later). So they won't end up doing the move, and they screwed me for getting the bed in the time I need it and the time the owner needs the bed out. Really, this was highly unprofessional. I thought we had an agreement, and they really screwed us. I told them i wanted them to move the bed. They probably decided they'd take a bigger job, that paid more, and my little job wasn't worth their time. I've used them before, but now I'm determined to not only never use them again, but to let people know that this was an unprofessional, screwed up way to handle this. Not even an offer to come at a later time. D****.
Description of Work: They were supposed to move a bed, it never happened.

Extremely well! Great service from initial meeting to actual move. Their pricing is very fair, Steve and his crew are very professional, and were very careful with our belongings. If you need to move, you should definitely contact PPM!

They were my favorite movers that I've used. It's a per item, it's not a per hour deal so it varies based on what you ask them to move. They were very professional, very quick, and very friendly.

Mike and his team were great! They took great care with our furniture; they wrapped our furniture as needed, etc. They even took care of disassembling and reassembling our bed frames, etc. Everything was moved and delivered quickly. From the very beginning I could tell how professional Mike was by his quick turn around in getting a quote and his team's availability to me within the same day of my online inquiry. I would recommend Purple People Movers and I plan to use them again in the future.
Description of Work: They moved our 1,100 sq. ft., 2 bedroom, 2 bath apartment furniture and boxes from the third floor to our new house 20 minutes away.

I hardly ever write reviews - BUT, this company was amazing. They responded quicker than any other company, were the most courteous and made the whole process effortless. They took care of our items during the move, showed up on time (actually early!), and had positive attitudes. A few days later we determined we were running out of time to disassemble and move our shed (which we were going to do ourselves), I contacted them again and they were out that day to quote and moved it the next day. Steve even volunteered to throw in our sea kayaks that he saw were still there for free so we didn't need to deal with it later. Can't say enough good things!
Description of Work: Moved our large items, including disassemble and move shed.

I had received a few positive recommendations for this company. On their website, I completed their form to request an estimate to move from one house in Tampa to another in Tampa. After a day with no reply, I telephoned their office to request an estimate. No answer.... so I left a voice message with my phone number. After another day with no response, I thought maybe I filed-out their on-line from incorrectly. So I tried again. Still no response. In fact, to this date, I have never heard a word from Purple People Movers. I hate being ignored! If a company is too busy to respond to voice mail, they should have a recording saying they are too busy to accept new business. They should have the courtesy to reply to the email requests. Even if it is to say they are too busy to accept new business. Days were wasted waiting for a response from Purple People Movers. Ignoring my communications gives them an F.

Response from Purple People Movers
We looked up (removed member name) webform.He submitted it on August 19th at 7:19am. WE RESPONDED WITH A FLAT RATE PRICE THE SAME DAY AUGUST 19TH AT 8:03PM. He wanted to move on August 25th or 26th.All moving companies are busiest at end-of-month.Trying to line up movers for a large home 6 days from when you need the move performed is poor planning on his part.Check your spam file before you leave a negative review for a company you never did business with. NEGATIVE REVIEWS SHOULDN'T BE ALLOWED IF WE DON'T DO BUSINESS WITH THE CUSTOMER ARRANGING A LARGE MOVE WITH 5 DAYS NOTICE ISN'T LIKE ORDERING A PIZZA. WE DO THOUSANDS OF MOVES EVERY YEAR FOR SATISFIED CUSTOMERS AND GET A "F" RATING FROM A PROCRASTINATING PERSON WHO WE NEVER MOVED??????

Mike and his team arrived on time and went to work. We did a walk through and identified all that was being moved. The team of three had the job completed within three hours. They were very pleasant and professional. This was a move we had to make in a hurry due to my mother coming out of the hospital and we needed to have the apartment ready for her. Mike and his team was very understanding and made sure everything was done to satisfaction.
Description of Work: Moved my mother's household belongings from her townhouse in Largo to her apartment in Largo. My brother had used them to move his household from St. Pete to Feathersound. He was very happy with them and recommended them to me. We called them on Friday to perform the move on the following Wednesday and they were able to accommodate us. Mike was very pleasant and professional. He called me right back and gave me an approximate quote over the phone of $500.00. At the last minute we needed Mike and his team to include a transport of a couch from my brother's place to ours as well. Mike was easily able to accommodate this.

They did what they said they would do. They were fast. They were not the cheapest, but they did a good job. I can say it was a fast job. They did not break anything. They had six guys and two different trucks to work with. They finished fast once they started the job. Everything went the way the owner had told us. The owner was present when the job was done. The work was done properly. I mainly did not want any extra charges after they finished the job and they gave me a all inclusive quote. They told me everything I wanted to know. I would grade them down only because of the price.

My first initial quote went well, I had someone call me back and provide me with a flat rate quote and even followed up in email. When it got closer to my move and I called them back and left a voicemail because i wanted to use them and set up an appointment. I also wanted to see about getting a second flat rate quote since there were some items I had removed from the moving list. I never got a call back, so I called and left a second voicemail. I never got a response until almost 2 -1/2 weeks after my initial voicemail; they asked me if I had been quoted yet. I just said I was all set ( I ended up going with a different company since they called me back right away)

Response from Purple People Movers
We have been in business for 21 years.This is by far the busiest we have ever been.We stay booked up for weeks in advance and turn down many moves every week.Our biggest flaw is answering every call,trying to get out to all the large homes and offices to give quotes.The owners are the only people to give flat rates and quotes.We average 30 moves per week and try to provide a flawless moving experience. We apologize for the lack of communication we sometimes have.

They were good. They were in very constant communication with me. They had another move that morning, so they called and let me know how long it was going to be. They were very careful, hospitable, took care of the stuffs and were very wonderful to work with. They were the lowest priced and gave me the lowest estimate. They did everything a mover should do.

The moves (both of them) went smooth. Nothing broken or damaged. We were suppy happy with the price and even more satisfied with the service. These guys get it done and understand what customer service is all about. Use these guys with confidence.
Description of Work: These guys are very professional. My wife and I used them twice in a two year period. In October 2008 they unloaded 3 16ft P.O.D.S. containers for us when we relocated from New Jersey to St. Petersburg FL and then again in Janurary 2010 when we purchased our home here in St. Petersburg. These guys are quick and professional and the work is done right. The owners always accompany the move and supervise all aspects.

The company sent a written quote detailing work to be completed. They said they would call two days prior to the move to confirm the moving date, which they did. They arrived on time at the house to move the items and completed in the time frame they said it would be. The company represenative (Steve) drove the furniture to the condo in Fort Lauderdale by himself. Upon arriving Steve unloaded ALL the furniture by himself in an unbelievable timely and safe manner. Steve was absolutely a pleasure to deal with and didn't stop working. He was a machine with all the items and he didn't damage anything. He completed the job within the time frame he said too. He reassembled all the items that needed to be put together. I was very concerned with a long distance move for my elderly parents. You hear nightmarish stories about moving companies but I'm here as a member to tell you this company was an absolute pleasure to deal with. They did EVERYTHING they promised and did it with a smile. I highly recommend using this company and I would use them again if necessary.
Description of Work: They moved my parents furniture from the Tampa area (Land O' Lakes) to Fort Lauderdale. They moved from a 3 BR, 2 Bath villa to a 2 BR, 2 Bath condo.
