Services
Mini Moves is a Professional moving and relocation services company for small moves across the United States, since 1991!. The MiniMoves concept was born when founder & CEO, Jack Arslanian, pledged to fill a void in the moving industry - no one properly serviced America's small shipments across the country.
Our past customers say it best. Look and listen to these moving company reviews about what people have to say about their MiniMoves experience. We work hard to deliver small job moving services that you will recommend to your colleagues, family and friends the next time they search for local moving companies.
Determining the best way to move can be a real challenge because moving isn't something we do very often. Comparing the moving services available is a good place to start. Deciding how much or how little of the work you want to do is the first step. Compare the moving services that are offered or included in each type of moving.
Some people move every year and become experts along the way but most of us move infrequently and it's hard to know where to start. MiniMoves will help you design a move that fits your plan and your budget. We make moving easy and affordable. State to State Moves - If you are relocating cross-country, our national movers will provide you with full-service without charging for a minimum weight.

Beware of MiniMoves! We hired them to do our move from AZ to NJ and what a nightmare!! They broke our furniture right in front of us, delivered our custom made painting with a huge slash across the front and now they will not pay. We bought their full replacement insurance for an additional $800+ which is a joke as they now say it does not cover anything - insurance fraud. Our life has been made miserable. This company doesn't seem to care about their reputation as they continue to rip people off and mansplain me as to how they do not care about the unprofessional service they gave us

I would like to thank MiniMoves for the support they gave me in moving from Seattle to Chicago. My timeframe was short which made it all the more stressful. They contracted with Eco Movers to help wrap up my larger furniture at my house in Seattle, and those movers did a fantastic job.
When my stuff arrived in Chicago, it arrived a little earlier than planned which made me happy, and the team of 5 men moved all of my stuff carefully and quickly into my new condo. The guys were friendly and respectful of my stuff.
I was expecting there to be some broken things just because I know casualties happen

Our famil y hired Mini Moves once to move from Los Angeles to Scottsdale in 2008 and then again in 2021 to move from Scottsdale to New Jersey.
The first move was excellent thus we didn't feel the need to look them up (183 reviews - 3-stars - oof) on Yelp but we should have.
Details:
* Everything that we moved was professionally boxed or packed by an outside firm
* We paid over $14,000 for the move
* Included in the $14,000 was about $850 for $0 deductible "replacement insurance"
* They dropped and destroyed an irreplaceable Italian credenza that cost $3,500.
* They destroyed

DO NOT HIRE THIS COMPANY! You are given a quote that absolutely means nothing because your final amount will be whatever they want it to be. Since they use contracted companies to do their work it is often not accurate or what you had agreed upon in the estimate.
Not only did our items arrive nearly a week later than the promised date, there were items missing, damaged, and we were overcharged $2,000. They will argue with you but in the end will never provide proof for their charges. The customer service is horrendous (specifically the "customer service manager") and extremely unprofessional

I chose MiniMoves for a small move (sofa, table, 2 lamps and 4 boxes) from NJ to CA. The process was very straight forward and the pick-up and delivery windows were clear. The pickup was on time with no issues. The items arrived in perfect condition; the delivery guys were respectful of my home; and took away the trash. The department that was outstanding was Customer Service. They were professional; always knew the status of my shipment; and regardless of who I spoke with - they knew the history and prior discussions - they were great! In these COVID times, I know how difficult it is to

The absolute worse. If I could give zero stars I would. We were quoted $1000, and 4 hours to move a mile away. Four guys showed up (late mind you) and it took them 11 hours to complete the job. Two of the four guys were useless and could not have moved any slower. They ended up charging us $2900. which I immediately disputed. A complete joke. See the pictures to see what kind of "professional moving" (and I use that word very, very loosely) you can expect from MiniMoves. FYI, we are in the process of filling out the claim form and they will owe us more than

If I could divide this rating in two parts I would. First off, MiniMoves is just a "middleman" business model, since they are not performing the actual move on either side -- pick up or delivery. They bid out to 3rd party moving companies and they just handle the logistics (poorly in some cases).
If I could I would give 5 stars to both EcoMovers in Seattle and Cord Movers in St. Louis. They did a fantastic job.
MiniMoves on the other hand was not fun to deal with once you sign the contract. First off, the communication is beyond poor, and get ready for angry Karen's to reply to

DO NOT USE THIS MOVING COMPANY. The worst experience i have ever had with any move and we have moved quite a bit. Worst communication and would take forever to get back to us. Kept changing the price of the total cost of move. Every time we would have a problem they would bounce us around to different people and it seemed like nobody knew the answers. When our items finally arrived they lost an entire box & took weeks to even get back to us about the claim (which they did nothing about). So unprofessional & could care less about customer.

Absolutely horrible experience. They were recommended from a website My Faux Farmhouse. I am guessing that this company paid somehow for the review and recommendation. We got the run around for well over a week or 2. Mark kept saying that they needed to check with operations and would contact us back. Nothing. Zero. Zilch. Nada. No calls back. My wife called and spoke to someone who yet again gave her the run around.
Please please please DO NOT do business with these people.

Just completed my small move (just a few pieces of furniture) with Mini Moves and was very unhappy with the customer services I received - the movers were late on both ends, came unprepared and then were 4+ hours late on delivery.
While I understand delays, the Company just did not respect my time. Would encourage others to look elsewhere - there are better movers out there!

I used MiniMoves for a cross-country move earlier this year. The guys who packed for me on the Wisconsin side were wonderful. They were very careful with my stuff, worked efficiently, and helped sort my belongings into economical units to save me money off my estimate. Plus they were personable!
If the whole move went like that, I would've gladly given them 5 stars. Unfortunately, their contracted partners aren't as good.
Unloading for me was handled by Apple Moving. They were indelicate, slitting my mattress protector as they unboxed my mattress, and curtly told me to take complaints

We had a great experience with Mini Moves this past weekend. They were on time, worked quick and covered furniture with great care. We had to go from 1 location, a whole apt, and drop off items to 4 different locations. Timing was great all done within 6.5 hours, think it was a little less. Would definitely their service in my area and the crew we had working.
Thanks again.
Thanks again.

If I had handed each of my most valuable possessions to a different toddler and simply prayed that they safely transport them across state lines... I would have had a safer and more efficient move than the one I had with MiniMoves.
I am so full of rage for this company that I literally had to give myself space to write this review. But in looking back at my photos the other day I saw the pictures of my absolutely smashed boxes. I am sharing these in hopes that others see them and avoid at all costs working with a company who cared so little for our items and our wellbeing.

My boxes mostly came crushed. I had almost 60 boxes and 20 of them were crushed.
My nightstand, which thankfully was Ikea, was completely destroyed.
I went with Minimoves originally because they gave me the cheapest quote, but they added many fees. They also count 7 steps as a flight of stairs and added an extra $28 when they found out that I lived on the second floor. There were many additional fees and it was a headache. I wish I had gone with a more expensive and honest company.

I have moved several times before this, and have had multiple conversations with MiniMoves about my situation.
1. Their movers were supposed to call me with an arrival time. No one ever calls. I email MiniMoves but they don't offer to help. The movers show up at 7:45 am unannounced. MiniMoves doesn't offer to help me reschedule or see if they can come back later.
2. I am obviously not 100% prepared for this and the movers have to pack some items (I am charged $750ish dollars for this) and I have no time to separate out some items I want to take myself.
3. They then give me a 10

Be sure to have them pack your boxes. If they don't pack them they are not insured even if you buy the extra insurance.
After they picked up my items I was trying for weeks to reach them with no response. I then suddenly received a call that they were at my home to deliver without ever once being contacted to schedule.
When I rescheduled the delivery for another week, they arrived 4 hours after the scheduled window.
Despite the 1 month late delivery, they actually charged me a 1 month storage fee. So they will fail to deliver and then charge you extra ($600). I asked for a review of this
