In their own words
It's interesting how there are no apologies or acceptance of responsibility in any responses to negative reviews. My name as it appears in this review WAS a customer. Movers 1. Dented the door on a $4,000 new refrigerator. 2. Crushed a doorway threshold that now doesn't seal. Requires complete door removal to replace. 3. Banged up woodwork on multiple doorways 4. Scratched new LVT flooring. 5. Showed up late and took longer than expected. 6. Scarred up stairway treads creating multiple tripping hazards.
We were hired to move a 1050# gun safe and a refrigerator from the garage into the basement. We explained our concerns to Daniel Beck about moving the 1050# gun safe down the basement steps which were unfinished wood steps and the limited amount to space available at the bottom of the staircase to…
We used Jim's a few months ago and had quite an experience. They showed late up not knowing they had 2 full storage sheds, tried to call for addtl help and the owner wouldn't answer. Took multiple breaks adding up to more than an hour that I wasnt aware I had to pay for. The cops showed up at my house wanting to talk to one of the movers and then they gave me a discount for helping so much, which the owner called 2 days later to collect. I refused and he took me to court to collect it.
Your account of the events for your move do not reflect the actual events of your move. The police did not show up at your house during your move. Jim's Moving & Delivery Co., Inc. was awarded damages in court to collect for your move.
We had a very large move involving packing and moving. We paid extra for insurance. Several items were broken and some dropped in truck right in front of me. Damage was also done to our home. The owner Brad refused to co.pensate us for all the damage. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. The owner was rude and hostile BE CAREFUL
Julie called Jim's Moving & Delivery office to say she had some damage and the Owner went to Julie's home to review the damage with Julie after her move. There was some broken plates and cups which Jim's Moving Company reimbursed Julie for.
I'm not sure I could be anymore disappointed in this service I was given. When I called and made this appointment to have movers, it was known that we were loading out of a third floor apt and unloading into ground floor of a house. The carelessness that was used moving a fish tank stand that was being used for our TV and sitting in the same spot on the carpet for the last year.
Nicole, Jim's is under new ownership and we're editing the LONG reply that was here previously to say that we're sorry that our service didn't meet your expectations and that we are committed to ensuring that Jim's remains a trusted brand in the Omaha-area for many years to come.
I don't know how this company stays in business. Not only was I misquoted by an extra $400, but the movers themselves showed up 25 minutes late, and decided to take an hour break because they parked on the wrong side of the building and "couldn't find me" (I was standing in the literal lobby the whole time). They were calling a completely wrong number trying to get ahold of me and apparently thats my fault?

Really disappointed in the whole experience. The guys who moved me were super nice but that's the only good thing I can say. Lots of damage to lots of pieces of furniture ( mattress soiled on side from being drug on truck, wood broken on sofa) including my grandmother's old writing desk which I had considered moving myself but then thought these guys were professionals and they would take better care. They assured me they would.....wooden filigree on desk was destroyed, chair badly scratched.
To begin, the movers were very late and I never received a call giving me a status; I had to call them. The moving guys were nice enough and did do their job within the timeframe. However, I asked the company if the guys would be taking a break and if I would be paying for that break. I was told no. However, they did take a 20 minute break and I was charged for it. I contacted the company about it to get that fixed and I was told that management would be contacting me.
Cecilia we have read your review and we would like to explain the insurance options we are required to offer. The State of Nebraska establishes the insurance programs for movers licensed in the state.
I used Jim's but wouldn't recommend them. They gave me a bid to move us and we ended up doing half of the move ourselves to save money before they showed up. They stalled and stretched it out until to the point it was overly obvious they were taking their time. I ended up paying them the same amount as the bid even though they had to move half or less of the house. Very disappointed in them! One example is they spent two hours on our tread mill saying they couldn't get it apart.

In their own words
Great customer service! Professional! Good value! Responsive! Thank you Pete & Kendall!
Thank you for your review. Please let us know if we can assist you with any of your future moving needs.
They were prompt and ready to move and also accommodated our 'not being as ready as we should have'. They had the greatest attitudes and motivation, they got the their job done quickly despite our lacking in packing and their personalities were great to boot! Thanks for all the help!
Toni, Thank you so much for your review. We appreciate your business and the opportunity to complete this move for you. Please let us know if we can help you with any moves in the future.
I hired Jim's Moving Company for my move in September 2023. I have moved more than a few times and Jim's Moving & Delivery Co have been by far one of the best companies to work with on a move. Not only did Brad come out for an in-person estimate, the office was super great to work with scheduling the day and time for the move.
Thank you very much for your review, we sincerely appreciate your business and your review. It was a pleasure to complete your move for you. Please contact us in the future for any of your moving needs.
We were in such a pinch, needing help moving literally while at our storage facility. Jim’s Moving and Delivery Co just happened to be there right when we were, doing things in their office. After talking with the friendly staff, they moved some things around with scheduling and were able to immediately accommodate us! Talk about amazing customer service. They took care of my mom, putting her at ease which is priceless with her recent dementia diagnoses. I can’t thank you enough Jim’s Moving!
Rebecca, we are so glad that we were onsite and able to help on short notice. Moving can be stressful and if we can help provide a quick solution, well that's a no-brainer for us! Thanks for your kind words!
