Hello [Member Name Removed] We are so glad that we were able to pack and transport your sculpture. We have specialized in not only the small shipment but also antiques and art since MiniMoves' inception. The additional preparation and care that we place on our shipments has allowed us to maintain a claims ratio of less than 5%, well below the industry standard of over 20%. If we can assist you in the future we welcome the opportunity to share with you the MiniMoves experience. Thank you again for choosing MiniMoves as your small move solution.

Description of Work: Minimovers picked up our belongings on 2/12; they delivered them to our destination on 3/3. We were able to select our exact pickup and drop off dates, which was very helpful. They documented every individual item and had us check them each off individually when they were delivered. We had one item broken during shipping (a large glass jar) and some pots and pans damaged. The pots and pans were damaged by rubbing together during shipping; we did not wrap them independently so that's on us.

Description of Work: Everything went as planned. Only glitch was that I didn't receive notice of the time movers would arrive to pick up my shipment. However, the movers were so courteous and nice, patiently waiting for me at the pick up location, that it ended up being quite minor. The movers loaded my items very carefully and efficiently. The shipment was delivered several days earlier than the earliest estimate, a welcome surprise. Again, the delivering movers were very courteous and efficient. I am happy to recommend MiniMoves.

Extremely professional guys. They were on time, VERY quickly moved large, bulky items, threw away two large items we were no longer interested in. They even had a large box for "easy move" items, like smaller items we hadn't packed properly, and were able to move full bookcases and dvd racks, by wrapping them before they moved them. We were extremely impressed with how much they could do in such a small amount of time (entire move within the same city in less than an hour). I highly recommend these gentlemen! A++

The initial phone calls were handled politely and helped my mother figure out how to proceed , and when the movers came, that all went well with them being on time and loading things, and they had things on the Tucson end coordinated with a company they work with out there, and they also were on time and very helpful unloading and taking things into the house and putting them where she wanted.
Description of Work: I had found this company for my mother, who is turning 80 and had some furniture and boxes, but not anywhere near a big enough load for a moving van to take to Arizona from Illinois. She packed up her boxes and had figured out what shelves and furniture she wanted to take, and mini-moves came as scheduled the agreed date. She was delighted with their service, said they were very helpful and friendly and efficient, and the same was true of the delivery people they made arrangements with on the Tucson delivery end, as they had to store the load briefly before having it delivered to her once she and my brother had driven her out there with some belongings in her van.

.They only do one bedroom and studio apartments. They just do little moves. They were the most reasonable price I could find and it turned out to be less than what it would have cost her if she had done it herself. Everything arrived in the same condition it was when they left with it even though they said they couldn't guarantee that it would. I do plan to use them again.

They got there on time, moved everything quickly and w/o breaking anything. They even spent extra time to wiggle my sofa through a tight set of doors - taking doors off hinges and carrying it up the stairs twice. I believe they are very different for moves w/in Chicago and cross-country moves. I have used them locally 2 times, as have several friends. We have all be very happy with their work and their prices have been great.

Terrible! Avoid this company at all costs. They managed to damage (or in one case, destroy completely) two out of a total of about five furniture pieces that I had them transport. Since Minimoves works with subcontractors, our possessions sat in a warehouse in Chicago for at least a week on the pick-up end of the move, and longer at the delivery end. Because the items are handled by several different outfits along the way: packing and pick-up, transportation, delivery; no one seems to feel responsible either for making sure the delivery schedule is adhered to OR for handling the items with care. So, when my items arrived damaged (in one case beyond repair), the delivery guys point out that they received the items in that condition, i.e., not their fault, which is probably true. What a disaster. Avoid this company.

THE MOVERS WERE POLITE BUT NOT CAREFUL. THE TOP OF A MARBLE AND WOOD TABLE BECAME DETACHED AND SMASHED. WE HAD PURCHASED INSURANCE. DESPITE THAT FACT AND THAT THEIR MOVERS WRECKED THE TABLE, THEY WOULD NOT PAY THE REPAIR BILL. I CALLED AND ASKED WHAT I HAD TO DO TO SUBMIT A CLAIM. THE PERSON AT MINIMOVES SAID TO HAVE THE TABLE REPAIRED, SEND THEM THE BILL AND FILL OUT AND RETURN THE PAPERWORK THEY WOULD SEND ME. LATER, MINIMOVES REJECTED THE CLAIM BECAUSE THEY SAID THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO INSPECT THE DAMAGE. I WOULD SURELY HAVE WAITED IF THEY TOLD ME THAT IN THE FIRST PLACE INSTEAD OF TELLING ME TO HAVE THE TABLE REPAIRED. TO ME, THIS SHOWS A LACK OF INTEGRITY. OVERALL, I AM OBVIOUSLY VERY DISSATISFIED. I HAVE A TABLE THAT WAS NOT ABLE TO BE COMPLETELY REPAIRED AND I WAS STUCK WITH THE BILL!

Response from MiniMoves Inc
My sincerest apologies in the delay in responding regarding the member's complaint, although I have had a chance to review all the documentation and paperwork involved in the move. The member's move occurred on 5/11/05, and the Claims Department here at MiniMoves was first notified of any damage on 5/23/05. At which point the claim form and letter were mailed out, it was not mentioned to me that the item had currently been handed off to a repair firm. The Claim letter clearly states not to have any repairs done until we are able to inspect the "fresh" damage. No insurance company would allow an item to be repaired prior to an inspection of the damage, as per the ICC's regulations. I then received the claim form back in my office on 8/10/05 stating the item was currently out for repair and a receipt for repair would be sent to us. That was not received. Therefore on 9/14/05 the claim was denied. I have also included a copy of the Bill of Lading on the move, it appears that some of the items were already in a previously weaken condition, as documented by my driver. A further review of the Bill of Lading also shows no notations on the paperwork of any damage, at the time of delivery, and signed off on a clean delivery with no new damage. Based on the description of how the damage occurred, the description of damage on the claim form, and as us being unable to inspect the item prior to repair our denial of the claim was not off base.
