1-star Google reviewPaul3 years ago
Only tried to get an estimate, did not hire. Immediately felt like a shady operation. The person on the phone was clearly in a large, very noisy call center. They immediately assumed I would book an appointment even though I was just looking for a quote. Even after I said multiple times that I wasn't booking anything, they still tried to schedule a date and time. Big red flag #1 was that they asked what my budget was for my move. They don't need to know that.

Hi Paul! Thank you for taking the time to write a review - that doesn’t sound like a very good experience at all. … More

Beware: this company pays customers for positive reviews. Please review the pictures I’ve posted prior to hiring them, they speak for themselves. Paid Primo to pack, move and store our belongings for 4 months. Could not be more dissatisfied with the poor service and lack of care that was taken in packing, storing, and handling our belongings. Items were thrown in boxes without packing paper. Furniture was not properly wrapped or protected during moving and was stacked on top of one another leading to damage.
2-star Google reviewHayley P.2 years ago
Originally booked Primo and was thinking it would take no more than 3 hours, most likely less. They arrived late, which was OK, but as they worked, they seemed to wander and slow roll everything. A move I planned for at max taking 3 hours took 5+ hours. 4 hours to pack up and 1 to unload. I felt like they were really milking the time. They obviously enjoy their jobs and are respectful but very slow. The moving truck was parked on the grass at our new home, leaving tire marks as they exited.

I wouldn't recommend! They were late to their own scheduled appointment time. They worked very slow and were very inexperienced with moving large items. We …

5-star Google reviewMegan P.a year ago
Absolutely stellar, thank you Primo! Stephan helped book our move, he was great with all communication, Primo uses a very easy website to assist with the quote & plan for your inventory. Chase, Wyatt & Haven were the 3 musketeers who took the utmost care of the furniture & had great spacial awareness of the apartment & house. Worked as a team to back the truck up, we’re very particular to miss the landscaping (thank you)! They moved quickly, and were calm & professionally kind throughout the entire process.

I had a great 3-person crew help me move. They were careful with all of my belongings, fast with packing things up, and very friendly and professional. Compared to the other moving companies I contacted in the Duluth/Superior area they were the most reasonably priced and only charged their time from when they picked up the first box to when they placed the last item in my new home. I'd highly recommend them to anyone moving in the Duluth/Superior area and I will be using them if/when I ever move again.

Good deal, these guys showed up right on time and did a excellent job. Made my move very easy. A+++
5-star Google reviewTim S.a year ago
Showed up when they said they would. Noah and Blake did more in the two hours they were here than we could have in a day. They are personable, professional and the result was an organized house that was easy to unpack. I can't stress enough how much more these guys can do than you and a couple of your buddies. Worth every cent.
