We asked Action Moving for a quote to move us from MN to CO in May 2021. They were referred to us (local moves) and the agent told us we would get our furniture within a 10 day window. The crew that came to pack our belongings was super professional and did a good job. However, they laughed about us getting our stuff and said there was not a… driver assigned for us. This is a long story but bottom line, they are an agent for Atlas and they knew well before they took our stuff that we would never get it on time. Action never reached out to us once and misrepresented the fact they could do

Second time using them. This time they broke a tv. They actually unpacked the tv from the way I had it and then wrapped it in a blanket and taped it up. The first time I used them they brought large TV boxes.… The guy that didn’t drive the truck carried it up the stairs about waist high and slammed the corner into the ceiling causing the broken screen. This Tv was purchased in September. I filed the claim and left several messages with the woman who deals with the claims. Not. One. Phone call. Was. Returned. Today, she sends the letter attached. I mean, I tipped the guys more than

They started out looking like things were going to be great. They really did know how to hustle. The big problem came when I started to unpack! Broken antique dishes, scratched furniture, and just extreme carelessness when it came to my belongings. I won't be using them again if I ever have to move again.

I have worked with Action for many years. I work for a neighboring local company.
I can always count on action for great transportation advice, on the spot quotes and even same day commercial services. Very professional and great equipment. Big clean and organized warehouse.
I recommend Action for any and all commercial transportation needs local or international.

Amazing team, went above and beyond! Showed up 15 mins early both days of our move and took extra care of our home and furniture as they would their own. They completed the work almost to the minute of the original quote. Great value for the hard work on a hot summer day move. Would absolutely use them again!

Action movers lost one of our crates that was placed in storage. They admitted that they lost it including some of our inventory pages. After waiting several months for them to locate it we, filed a claim. Things that were missing were my jewelry ( stupid of me to pack it), both my husband and sons military medals and coins, family heirlooms, things that never can be replaced. The company didn't return e-mails, phone calls, or letters. They finally sent an e-mail stating that they would give us $ 50.00. What an insult

Action Movers did an excellent job moving the contents of our home across the city. Everyone, from the women in the office to Adam, the estimator to our moving day crew, Jason, Nick, Cirillo & Josh we’re extremely professional, positive and easy to work with. Not only was the moving crew on time, they hustled all day long, were pleasant and friendly, were careful with our belongings as well as our homes, and finished the job within the estimated timeframe. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a moving company!

Their estimate was $5417 but they charged $7726. They sent someone to our house to do the estimate, we showed them everything we were moving, and they gave us this estimate. Then, after they had taken everything they sent us the bill for over $2000 more than they had estimated. I would understand if it were a small difference, but going over their own estimate by almost 50% is completely unreasonable.
Other than the charges, everyone who worked for them did a good job and our boxes arrived on time and undamaged.

Hired Action Moving to pack and transport our home in-state. Wow!
Several items were left behind that loaders were specifically told to bring along. Both driver and salesperson blew it off like it was nothing to be concerned about. Now we have to hire someone with a trailer to haul the rest of our move. Another several hundred dollars expense.
Final bill was nearly $1000 over bid. All driver said was “well it was over the estimated weight ”. We actually sold several heavy items prior to move, salesman grossly underestimated.
There were several antique pieces damaged. There was a broken antique

I used Action to move from Minneapolis to Philadelphia. The entire process was professional, courteous, and efficient. Everything was explained to me in detail, and my expectations were managed the whole time (for example, it's not possible to send your belongings across country and expect to receive them in a few days. It takes longer than that, and you will likely have to live very sparsely while your belongings are being transported). Adam, who managed my move, communicated the timeline to me clearly. He also dealt with some big bumps on my end: I had to scramble to find a new place at

We have utilized Action Moving Services for four separate moving and storing needs, and each have been outstanding experiences. From the beginning with the estimating process, through the loading and delivering steps, the entire staff has been prompt, professional, courteous, and careful. Each one of the driver and loading crews were a pleasure to work with. We highly recommend Action Moving Services for your moving, relocating, and storing needs.

Moving is a tough job both for the homeowners and the movers. These folks did a great job. A walk through estimate was given (on the high side).
Boxes are free to use and return, a big plus. The movers protected the floor and carpet with cardboard or plastic.
They also shrink wrapped furniture with drawers so contents did not spill out.
Nothing broken or scratched during the process. On time both times.
Not easy, but went as well as we could have hoped for.

I have worked with Action Moving Services twice and their work was exceptional. The movers are professional, fast and extremely conscientious (lead mover, Kevin Gause is outstanding). The people I dealt with in the office (Michelle and Randy) were friendly and helpful and quoted the jobs perfectly. They also came through in scheduling a challenging next-day request. I highly recommend Action!

We used this company to move from MN to Germany, and initially had a horrible experience. The movers that came to our house did not do their job and were very rude to us. Long story short, we had to pack our own boxes (boxes we had laying around our house) and had to wrap our own things with paper and bubble wrap that we purchased on our own. Some things were thrown into their moving truck unwrapped. Fast forward to the next day, we called the company and voiced our dissatisfaction with how things went. The manager was shocked at how things were handled and immediately had another crew member re

Used them for an in town apartment move. Even though it was a small apartment they still came out ahead of time for free to do an assessment to make sure they had the correct resources amd materials on move day which was great. The 3 movers were on time and true pro's. Moved from a 4 story unit to another 4 story unit across town so they got their workout. Nothing damaged. I can't say enough about using a professional moving company.

These movers were amazing; a true group of professionals. They came by to provide a free quote, detailed everything they would take and provided packing recommendations and ways to make things more efficient for the movers to save money. And they provide nice boxes for packing if you go to their warehouse in burnesville. When the movers came they were not only on time, but very personable. They started by surveying the house, putting down protective mats on the floor, covering stairs, so the house doesn't get damaged or dirty. The removed doors with ease as needed to move larger items.

We were not happy with all the scratches on most of our furniture. That was bad enough but when we complained then they sent their "expert" out that said some of those scratches were already there and they didn't make those. Now we were furious! Who knows their furniture more than us who bought it new and sees it every day.

We moved cross country and although the over all experience wasn't a complete disaster, the way the hiccups were handled were just horrible. For starters, my record player, amplifier, gaming console and PC were not packed adequately, leading to avoidable damage in transit. My electronics were literally placed in a box with no moving paper or… anything to buffer them- and they were right against each other. We went through the process of getting "reimbursed" for these things and that's when the headache, miscommunication and lack of cooperation ensued. Moving is moving and something is bound

We used this company to move from Minneapolis to East Bethel after receiving a few quotes. They actually came in UNDER the quote they gave us! The estimator told us they would need to build a crate to safely transport our huge plasma TV. The moving crew brought the crate but found our TV fit in their plastic TV box (just barely) and did not charge us for the crate! They moved fast! I always find movers move faster if you're helping move boxes and smaller items to the truck to help expedite. We had 3 movers who were all polite and personable. No damage was done to our items and we will
