In their own words
*** DO NOT USE THESE MOVERS UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE! *** They arrived nearly 5 hours late for my 11:30AM move time. I was told that they 'had a previous job that was running long' by Chester (via telephone) but it was clear when they arrived, they had just grabbed the last Ryder truck from the rental lot ( 16' truck - WAY TOO SMALL), did not bring tool kit as requested beforehand to remove couch legs, only brought 20 moving blankets (not nearly enough), no packing tape (seriously, have you ever known a mover not to…
Thank you for your feedback. We're genuinely sorry to hear about your experience and appreciate the opportunity to clarify a few important points. We acknowledge that our crew arrived later than your scheduled time due to a prior move that ran longer than expected.
We used PMS twice - the first time was in May 2021 to move our from a 2 bedroom apartment on the 5th floor to a house across town and the second time was in June 2021 to move an upright spinet piano from Blaine to Minneapolis. The first move went great. We had all of our belongings packed and ready to be moved by the time the movers arrived, and the movers were great. The apartment was roughly 700 sq feet, so there wasn't a lot to move (and thankfully not a lot to unpack).
Thanks for your feedback Emily! We do apologize about the shortcoming of your piano move, we’ve since improved.
- They showed up at 10am when they were scheduled for 1pm. - They cursed at me and raised their voices on the phone when I was taking too long to pick up keys for my new apt. One yelled at me in person too. - While they did de-assemble my stuff, they did not put it back together in my new apartment. This is standard protocol at moving places as far as I know. - I labeled where my boxes were supposed to go.
I want to apologize about the experience you had today. We will use your feedback to improve our services.
They rolled both of my file cabinets breaking the handle of one, and denting the other so badly I can barely get the drawer open. They broke the leg off my dining room table. They broke the molding off my china hutch, both were marked extremely fragile with green tape. They also didn't deliver my LP gas canister for my grill. I would've been better off trying to push my stuff through garbage disposal.
I’m sorry to hear there was some issues with the service rendered. Thanks for your feedback. Our system automatically sent you a link for a feedback after your move to address any issues about our service and we tried following up with you the next day but didn’t get a response from you until now.
DO NOT USE THESE MOVERS (ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE A WOMAN). So many things were wrong about this experience but the main thing was the movers themselves, Caden and Steve. They both commented on my looks and said I was “cute for my age,” amongst many other comments on my appearance. They made me feel extremely uncomfortable in my own house and I was by myself. In addition to this, Caden peed on my neighbors tree and was vaping in my house.
When you initially call with your feedback, you was apologized to and was told you will receive a call back after checking with the crew before we decide if it will be a definite refund as that was one of your main concern.
First of all, I had originally hired this company after talking to CHESTER, feeling excited about the experience. That feeling quickly dwindled to none throughout the duration of this process. I knew I should be concerned about the process the moment I checked my payment receipt I had already downloaded and screenshot, and noticed THEY UPPED MY FEE BY $100 ?! WAYNE went into my contract info and WRONGFULLY added on $100 for an extra 45 minutes of work? The move was still a day away.
We’re sorry to hear about your experience, this is not how we aim to make any move feel, and we take feedback like this seriously. That said, there are several points that need to be clarified. First, we strongly reject the accusation of drug use in your bathroom.
I spoke with a representative named Angel, who identified herself as the owner, to arrange a move. She requested a deposit of over 500 dollars by phone before providing any written service agreement. She stated that the contract, including terms, conditions, and the inventory form, would follow afterward. Because I was out of state and a snowstorm in Minnesota disrupted my travel plans, I informed her that I needed to cancel. When I later requested a refund, Angel stated that the deposit was nonrefundable.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We take all customer concerns seriously and appreciate the opportunity to respond. We are sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations, particularly given the unexpected travel disruptions caused by severe winter weather.
It took me awhile to write this review as right after our move we welcomed twin girls. Our move was on March 2nd 2021. I can safely say these were the worst movers I have ever worked with. Let me preface this by mentioning that most of our stuff were already packed (by another professional moving company), we had recently moved from out of state and we were staying at a temporary place until we were able to buy a house and move to our permanent residence. Their job was easy.
Thanks for your feedback. I want to extend our apologies as we are always on the move to deliver a satisfactory service but it wasn't the case for you.

In their own words
The Premium Moving Services crew was great - on time, worked efficiently, did a great job protecting furniture and other items. They were friendly, communicated well and overall really easy to work with. Definitely exceeded my expectations
Thank you so much for your review and business. It was great working with you, we greatly appreciate it.
I hired Premium Moving Services after reading all of the great reviews and I can now personally affirm that this business is PHENOMENAL! Chester and his team were so professional and courteous throughout the day as they worked to move me from my old house to a new one. The care they showed for my personal belongings and people in my home was above my expectations. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for assistance with a move - it’s a great value for a truly premium service!
Everything went smoothly from start to finish and it was amazing working with you guys. We enjoy helping our customer transition from one home to another and taking great care of their belongings is one of our top priority. Thanks for the hire and your awesomeness!
Having far more than a carload of "my junk" to move from south Minneapolis to a storage spot in Barnum, Minnesota, I knew I'd need assistance. After receiving numerous offers of assistance from relatives and friends in a wide-assortment of vehicles, providing me an incompatible calendar of available times, I felt I'd never get moved by my November 1st deadline. After one conversation with Chester at Premium moving, I felt relieved I might have found a solution.
Thanks you so much for giving us the wonderful opportunity to be part of your transition to a new city. Enjoy and God bless!
On short notice I made a contract with Chester who is the owner over the phone! He was easy to understand and ran my card for 600$ Half the estimate price while we were on the phone together! Rodney his truck driver & Forman along with two of his comrades were Fantastic! They were fast & thorough! It was 2 hrs to load & 4 hrs to unload as we moved into a 2nd floor apartment where they had to use the elevator & move all the furniture & boxes down the hall at least 60 yards away!
We appreciate your review and business. Please let us know if you need anything or know someone who wants a move estimate.
