Your Trusted Moving Partner in Minnesota! Whether you're relocating across the street or across the state, we've got you covered! From efficient local moves to seamless long-distance relocations, we make moving stress-free and straightforward.
Terrible ! Careful with this company. What ever they quote you will be double . The movers where extremely slow., I apparently was sent the "slow" crew it was I was told by the workers . Call around to other places before booking these guys that's my advice! I did receive some reimbursement but would not recommend them to anyone

Very well - took less time than their estimate because we'd already packed and moved many of the smaller items. The men were personable and very easy to work with. Most of the items arrived at the apartment unscathed; but although a large piece was slightly damaged, we were able to easily repair it ourselves. We didn't have a chance to inspect anything going into storage. We trust all is well, as we've used them in the past. My only complaint so far is that a desk shelf was installed backwards; but it's only for six months. We can live with that.

Excellent company. Prompt and courteous. They asked where everything should go and assisted in assembling beds. They were fast paced and didn't try to stretch the time. I will hire them again if i ever move again.

Sam and Dan loaded a pod with our heavy furniture, many boxes, and other "stuff" (grill, tool chest, etc.). We already had the pod but knew we couldn't load it ourselves. Local Motion has this great deal: 2 movers for 2 hours for $50 per man-hour. Both men were kind, professional, and knew exactly which pieces would fit together to load the pod from floor to ceiling, all 16 feet! It was a tight squeeze, but Sam had assured us from the start that it would all fit, and it did -- in under two hours!

I've hired them three times, which is proof of their great service. They are always extremely respectful of the other residents, kind, cheery, knowledgable, clean. The last time I used them, they even helped me search for a suitable charity to donate a mattress. I will use them every time I need movers and I recommend them to everyone.
Description of Work: I've used Local Motion three times in the last three years. Always super-impressed with them. I've hired them to move my mother and grandmother to and from apartments.

They were on time and moved the items in the timeframe discussed. We had so many items damaged. We expect some items to get damaged but the sheer volume of items broken were unbelievable. We purchased Local Motion box and packaging materials. We have moved frequently so we understand how to appropriately pack boxes. - One of the movers dropped a box of wrapped crystal lamps (labeled VERY FRAGILE) at our house and they would not cover it. Got the 'oops'. - 2 boxes of dishes that were broken. Clearly dropped boxes. - 75% of a box of home decor items smashed. Clearly dropped box - They placed boxes on a table without protecting the top and scratched it horribly...gave us $129 to compensate which will not cover the expense. I would NEVER use Local Motion again. Read the fine print of the contract and don't let them move anything of value.

Never in my life have I been more disappointed in a company. We used this company to move about a half mile from one house to the next. We had everything packed up and ready to go, hand-packed and organized. During our move, the movers took a lunch break and we met them at our new home about an hour later. After unloading 2 truckloads of items--furniture, boxes, rugs, houseplants, etc.--we breathed a sigh of relief and figured the hardest part of the move was complete. Upon going through everything, we realized that our brand new 8x10 rug from Pottery Barn was nowhere to be found. As soon as we noticed that the rug was missing, we immediately contacted the company and were told that they would look into it and that we should wait three months. After months of ignored phone calls, emails, and repeated inquiries into the whereabouts of our rug, Matt gave us the run-around from this company until finally he told us that the company policy was that they did not cover lost/stolen items. After agreeing to meet, Matt cancelled our meeting an hour before it was to take place. Whatever happened to this rug during these movers' lunch hour remains a "mystery", but it doesn't take having a PhD in larceny to figure out what happened. Please let this serve as a warning to anyone considering using this company for their move.
Description of Work: We were moving from our home in Saint Paul across the river to a house in Minneapolis. We had heard a few good things about the company, so we went with them and I've never regretted something so much. Our brand new, 8x10 Pottery Barn rug disappeared somewhere in between pick-up, an hour lunch break that the movers took, and the unpacking of the 2 trucks.

We called Local Motion for an estimate on a move . It was a local move and we were going to need to store our belongings for about 30 days. We called and talked to Tony Upton to obtain an estimate for the move. He did not come out to our home. He felt going through all our furniture items with us over the phone would give him an adequate means to give us an estimate for the move. He gave us on May 16th a bid of $723.50 each way. The bid seemed low to us so we called Tony back to go over the bid again. He reviewed all the items to move again and assured us that the bid was accurate. We decided to use Local Motion for our move. They charged us a $300 deposit. On June 29th 5 guys showed up at our our condo to begin loading our belongings on to the truck. It was a very slow process. It was extremely hot that day. At 4:30 they were done loading. I asked them what about the Tread Mill because they failed to load that. They said they couldn't move that one because of liability. Needless to say we were upset. (Remember, we did talk to Tony a couple times and reviewed all the items we were taking with us. Never once did he mention they could not take the tread mill) It was now 4:30 on a Friday night and we had to be out of our place by Monday.noon. Thank God our caretaker at our building stepped up to the plate and arranged for Push Pedal and Pull to come to our place Monday AM to move the tread mill for us. At 4:30 we were also were presented with a bill for $2130 plus the $300 deposit for the move. This move one way was estimated at $723.50 and we were charged $2430. This is 3 times the estimate. We called Tony the following Monday morning to talk about this price. First of all this company does not call you back. We left a number of messages and it took us a few days of us calling to connect with him. When we did talk to him he said he would talk to his movers and see what happened. The guys told Tony we were still packing boxes and we live in a condo and we hadn't reserved the elevator for this move. This is so untrue. We had every box packed the night before and the elevator was reserved for Local Motion. After Tony explained this to us we said this was untrue and are you sure the movers are talking about the right move. The elevator was reserved plus we actually helped with loading plus my wife went to Subway and bought them all lunch. After many efforts we finally connected with Tony and he said he would review the situation when they unloaded our furniture/boxes on August 2nd. He did not show up to review the items being unloaded as he promised. We were presented a bill of $1259 plus the $300 deposit we already paid I did not sign or authorize this payment. I called Tony many many times. I left messages and said I needed to talk to him by August 14th because our credit card payment was due. He called me back on August 14th and left me a message to call him. I called him back immediately and the call went straight to his voice mail. I have not heard from Tony since. I do not understand how a company can give an estimate of $1400 and the total price of this move ended up to be $4000. My guess is they give you a low estimate over the phone so you'll go with their company and then come back and charge you something different when the actual move is complete. Since it is an estimate the customer can do nothing about it.. Local Motion also damaged a couch. We submitted the claim form and are waiting for a call about the repair of this piece. We are extremely disappointed how Local Motion handled our complaint. They were non responsive to our calls and seemed to have little regard for their error in estimating this move.

They did an awesome job. They were very responsive. They are very helpful. My mom recently passed away, and they are moving into our home for hospice. They did an incredible job of helping. They packed her whole house, brought it to our house in a truck, and unpacked. It was amazing. They were really good with our house, too. They were super helpful with our house. You can buy boxes from them, but when you return them, you get your money back. We had the same drivers and loaders for both moves. Overall, it was a great experience. It could have been super stressful because I was starting a new job at the same time. Plus, we have small children. Plus, my mom was in poor health and in the hospital. They made it a lot easier.

They were great. Local Motion worked on Sunday which was the day I wanted to move. They packed everything up really well. They wrapped things so they would be safe and they put everything in the rooms that I wanted it to be in. Local Motion was really good to deal with. They charged by the hour and I would recommend them to anybody.

I could not have been more impressed! Local Motion offers superior service and is an excellent value. Everything proceeded as promised and exceeded expectations. The team was professional, hardworking, and polite. They took extreme care, notified me of potential problems, suggested alternatives, and were in constant motion. Much of my move had been in storage with Local Motion for about a year and those items came through beautifully as well. I will hire Local Motion again and recommend the service highly.

What should have been a two hour move ballooned to over four, with the price going up as well. PLUS: Movers showed up on time, and at the origin moved several heavy/large pieces down 2 1/2 flights of stairs and across a couple hundred of feet from the door to the parked truck. No damage appears to have been done to the furniture, including the antiques. All items were brought into the house at the other end. One of the crew (of two) was professional and responsive. MINUS: The job took significantly longer than expected, particularly what should have been a straight-forward unloading, resulting in costs of at least $200 more. The other crew member was a disappointment - didn't follow instructions, and did not take sufficient care to avoid damage to walls and floors. Contrary to what is on their website, we were asked twice for a gratuity.
Description of Work: We needed to have furniture moved from SW to SE Minneapolis - about 8 miles. The furniture included antiques and newer pieces, with nearly all larger pieces completely disassembled before the movers arrived. (Note: we moved clothes, dishes, books - and appliances - ourselves.) No boxes were moved. -- We have extensive experience with moving companies, in the U.S. and abroad, having moved every two to three years for two decades.
