I posted a review last year but apparently it was removed. I was moved from Maine to Florida. After giving ample notice , over 2 months, of when I needed delivery, my furniture delivery was change 3 different times. At one point I was told that I did not have a heavy enough load and that was the reason for the delay. I was never informed before or after my furniture was picked up and stored about any weight criteria. I waited almost a month in an empty home for my load.

One of the worst moving companies I have dealt with by far. Firstly we were quoted over the phone, I spoke with Damian and advised he come to our home to look through what was needed to be done and we didn't want to be given a quote via phone conversation but rather have a detailed look at what we needed, how many moving trucks, crew needed etc. Day 1 of packing our home one of the members tried going home much earlier than he was supposed to.

I hated to do business with this company. They delayed my stuff by three weeks and lied to me that their truck was bad. Actually they were looking for more deliveries and hence I was not a priority. After getting my lawyer on phone with …

Preferred Movers agrees that Mr.. Bawa's shipment was late. Preferred Movers compensated Mr. Bawa for that by taking a generous amount off of his final charges. The bed was accidently left at our warehouse so my driver bought him a bed the day of his delivery.

Update! I opened our $3500 Samsung TV and it is broken. Preferred Movers refusing to replace it, stating that I declined insurance. Apparently if you decline insurance, they can destroy your things due to negligence and do not care. …

We couldn’t be happier with the experience with preferred movers. Our team consisted of Johnny, Joa, Bob and Eddy. All were very polite and professional. They took the care needed for some sensitive items, and were extremely efficient with everything. The next time we need help with a move, we will be making exactly 1 call.

5-star Google reviewJohn R.a year ago
I can't say enough about these guys. The quote came in well below the other two I received, the communication before the move was exceptional, and the team was great to work with. We had Johnny, Alex, and Jake and I would request them again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend using PMNH.

The service I received from Rob and his partner was so personal, so professional, that I will definitely use your company for my next move in the Spring. They were very careful with each item and very respectful of the senior living community where we are going to live.

Polite, efficient, conscientious. Handled the antiques with care. They worked long hours and were very friendly the whole time. They even helped pack up the straggling things that hadn't yet made it into a box. I also feel that the price was very reasonable for the size move we had. Would definitely recommend!
