Fantastic Move from Bloomington to Algonquin, Illinois

Fantastic service on my move from Bloomington, IL to Algonquin, Il. My team, which consisted of- Chava, Niko, Sam, Primo, and Moises – was absolutely fantastic.

They over-delivered on every metric, and I would gladly use this service again. This was unequivocally the best service I’ve heard had.

Stress-Free Illinois to Indiana Move with Expert Packing

I am beyond impressed!! MiniMoves, specifically Chava and his team, has been absolutely AMAZING!! We moved from Illinois to Indiana, and they took so much stress off our hands. They came in and packed up almost everything for us. And when I say packed, I really do mean packed. I didn’t have to do much of anything. They covered and wrapped everything too so that nothing would be damaged at all during the moving process. The crew was very polite, and they worked quickly and efficiently. I will 100% do service with them again!! Whether you’re moving down the street or across the country, I highly recommend this company for your moves!

Rehired MiniMoves for a Local Job

I used Mini Moves five years ago to move a bed across the country. They were so good that I just used them for my move from one apartment to another. My movers were Paco and David and they were both 10/10s. They were efficient and competent at all times, and thoughtful and communicative throughout the move. Erik and Lue were very helpful in the lead up, answering any call or email immediately. I couldn’t recommend Mini Moves, particularly David and Paco, enough.

Helpful, Respectful, and Went Above and Beyond

My experience with Mini Moves exceeded expectations immensely. My movers were incredibly helpful and answered any questions I had along the way. I recently moved from an apartment to a house and had all my items stored in a storage unit. All I had to do was let them into the unit and they had done the rest in a little over an hour. They were super nice and respectful and moved my stuff with care. I also got a package delivered that was too heavy for me to carry and they moved it to the designated location which they did not have to do but were more than happy to help. The process of Mini Moves team was super easy and helpful. I had gotten text when they were able to deliver and the communication was incredible. My experience with Mini Moves was super stress free and I 10/10 recommend. I will definitely be using them again!

Reliable Partial Move from Connecticut to Florida

We did a partial move of furniture from CT to FL and used this company. Within a day of signing up, I received a call from a local mover that they utilize and we set up a date for pickup. A week before the move, we finalized what we were moving with our contact a Mini Moves. The day before the move, the local movers called to verify everything. On the day of the move, they were on time and took EXTREME care to wrap all our furniture. We’ve had three major moves and we have never had this kind of care. The shipment arrived two weeks after pickup – right on the schedule of  “within three weeks.” Those movers came on the day promised and on time. Not only that, they put all of our furniture in the rooms we selected and even moved a few boxes that they originally placed. We would highly recommend them!

Amazing Chicago to Cincinnati Move with Expert Team

WOW was I ever lucky to find Mini Moves! Paul was terrific in helping me figure out the amount and type of items I would need to move. The quote was *extremely* reasonable. Vanessa followed up promptly with paperwork and was very accommodating. But the absolute best part were our Movers! The team of Johnny, Primo, Moises and Chava was nothing short of amazing. They were on time to the very minute; packed our things with care and precision; gave us terrific advice on certain items; and worked their tails off all morning. AND we were moving out of a 3rd-floor walk-up condominium on a one-way street in Chicago, so they were hiking up and down 3 flight of stairs and managed a tight fit for their truck, all with a great attitude! I would use Mini Moves again in a heartbeat!

I googled local movers based solely on the reviews

MiniMoves came highly recommended.  I spoke to Steve who explained the process, Lue guided me thru the Website and Francisco answered any questions we had regarding the move.  He also contacted us the day to remind us.  Our Movers were Angel and Jeff! We were extremely satisfied with their work; professional, fast, strong and personable. We knew they would wrap the breakable furniture however surprised they dismantled bed/head board and TVs.  I highly recommend MiniMoves.  Thank you MiniMoves Staff for accommodating us on such short notice and making this move a smooth transition!  Shout out to our movers, Angel and Jeff ! 👍🏼👏🏼

Lydia Marsette

Effortless Moving Experience with MiniMoves

All communication throughout the entire moving process with MiniMoves went effortlessly. What I was promised happened. The pick-up of items went without any problems, and the movers were respectful and efficient. The delivery date was very important; it happened on the date promised–no delays, no problems. The local team who delivered the items were respectful, courteous, and efficient. They protected the floors, took their shoes off to walk on carpet areas, and disposed of packaging. They even thanked us. I can honestly say having moved several times, this has been the best moving experience.
