In their own words
Premier Movers misleads customers, damages property, and refuses accountability. Their business practices are deceptive, their service is careless, and their customer support is nonexistent. Save yourself the stress and potential loss. Several of the movers worked hard and some of them were kind but there were many problems. They assured us our furniture would be fully wrapped for protection but it wasn’t. The packing was chaotic and many items were left inside furniture, which was then loaded upside down.
Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to assist you with your local move. Completing a full house pack and move (loading and unloading 2 trucks full of furniture and belongings) can be challenging, especially when an unavoidable emergency renders us one Crew Member short on the 2nd day.
Service is unprofessional Worst company ever, picked up my belongings on December 15/21 (Illinois)and when my 45 days of free storage was due I called and requested an extra week because my moving date was Feb 4/22, so I called again on the 8th and announced that was ready to receive my belongings, they arrived on the 25th and I had to pay four hundred and something dollars for them to unload the truck, most boxes were broken, one missing box.
Update: Felicia, as was previously explained, we are located in Florida and have done no moves in Illinois. In addition, we are not a broker, as you claimed. We are a small local moving company, and we don't offer storage services either.
My husband ordered Premier Movers for our move because of the great reviews. However, on our move day, the movers were 4 hrs late and did not take proper care or their time during our move. They dented our less than 2 years old fridge. The mover would not take ownership because he said he didn't hear it bump anything. They also damaged the plug. I found the grounding piece outside the front door the next day.
Hi Kisha. I apologize for the experience you described. I want to let you know that the business came under new ownership and management several months after your move. As the new Owner, I would appreciate the opportunity to help you with any future moving needs, and change your opinion of my…
I went with this company because of the good reviews, but we had an absolutely terrible experience. Our oven, a few months new, was damaged. We've never had anything damaged during a move and I thought it would be covered. When I reported the issue they emailed me the part of their paperwork that states "we are not responsible for the operating condition or mechanical function of any electronics or appliances". That was after not replying to several of my messages.
We understand your frustration. We do provide a copy of our contract along with our written Estimates. This allows customers the opportunity to review all terms and conditions, so they are fully understood prior to accepting them.
Would recommend only for Short distance destinations & When the time is not an issue. Pros: 1. Being respectful & having positive attitude 👍 2. Carful about fragile items 👍 Cons: 1. Time management / being on time 👎 ( one-two hour arrival window could turn to hours) 2.Invoice and paper work 👎 ( I attached my invoice as example , in my opinion it is very unprofessional and unclear ).
Mr. Heidari I am sorry that we were not aware of bridge closure in your town for an event. I have tried to reach out to you and apologize about your experience and to make it right. Please give me a call back [phone removed]. God Bless
If you are military do not get these guys. I cancelled my other service to get these guys since I was swayed my the high reviews and the sooner availability. To make a long story short they damaged my furniture and discarded it without showing me any pictures or proof of what they were saying. They quoted me for 2 trucks and 4 guys and only 1 truck with 3 guys showed up. The military base gate turned them away due to 2/3 guys having a criminal record.
This was a local move and was told shouldn’t take more than 5-6 hours. It took 12 hours with 3 guys! Would never do hourly again! 8-10 Boxes were marked for storage unit and they delivered them to our apartment. They wrapped wood furniture but was still scratched. Recd only the bucket of our shredder, didn’t know where motor part was. Things were broken off of chairs, box of dishes missing. We put our trust in them because owner said they had really high ratings. Movers beware and don’t ever do hourly!
Jill, we apologize for any inconvenience related to your move. It is our goal to complete every move as efficiently and flawlessly as possible. That said, we completed your move a month ago, and this is the first time we are hearing about damage to anything.
Well just checked back and my terrible review and pictures have been deleted. I don’t know why Google deleted as I was giving a honest review. If you are planning to move out of state, think twice about using this company. A lot of damage done to sentimental items. Pictures were posted of an antique curio cabinet from my mother in law, with lion’s feet at bottom chipped, one of the shelves in the curio was cracked, my brand new printers inside glass was cracked, had to buy a replacement($350), shredder was dropped…
We strive to complete every move as seamlessly, efficiently, and as safely as possible. We apologize if we did not meet those expectations for you. Compensation was made for scratches to two bar stools, however nothing was mentioned to us about "sentimental items." That said, please understand that…

In their own words
These guys are Awesome!!! I recommend Premier Movers in Very High regard anyone needing movers. Everyone I had contact with from start to finish was very prompt, hard working and respectful. They helped me with only a one hour notice, also I appreciated the good pricing they gave me, So if you are looking for mover's, look no further because you will not be disappointed because Premier Movers are the best that I have ever experienced. Thank You again gentlemen, job well done and you are truly appreciated.
Thank you for the glowing review, Tedarrell. I'm very happy we were able to help you out on short notice and meet or exceed your expectations.
We just moved from St Augustine, Florida to Columbia, SC. Mike Bruns, the owner, made contact the very same day my husband left a message. He was friendly and responsive and came out and did an estimate that was the actual price. The moving day went very smoothly. No glitches at all. The crew was awesome and respectful and friendly. They treated all of our things carefully as if it were theirs. They gave us compliments on how well we had packed before they got there.
Thank you, Nancy!
I cannot recommend Premier Movers highly enough. I had a last minute need to move from one 3 bedroom house to another with minimal notice. I had only a week to prepare, have A LOT of belongings, and was stressed beyond belief. I decided to hire Premier to do my packing and moving for me and all I can say is WOW. They knocked it out of the park. From the first phone call to unloading the very last item off their trucks, they blew me away with their professionalism, efficiency, speed, and reasonable prices.
Where to begin: First my apologies to Roger for the delay(our move was in December 2022). We are so grateful to you! Roger returned my first call on a weekend when he had been at a sports event for his son. He listened carefully to our unusual needs which for most movers was just too small of a job. Initially, Roger and I agreed the expense was too great for items that had little monetary value. However, he shared with me that my situation(disabled and no way to move it myself) had kept him up problem solving.
Thank you so much, Deborah. Your kind words are very moving, and I appreciate them more than you know. I am very happy we were able find a way to help. As I told you, this was a puzzle that I was determined to solve, and I appreciate you allowing me the opportunity to do so for you. God Bless!
