In their own words
DO NOT HIRE Tiny Tim's for anything. Horrible experience. The movers arrived late and tried to charge us for an extra hour of time. They broke one of our floor lamps . The mover told us to call the office and that they would reimburse us. This was a lie. My wife called the office and the owner was very rude to her. He said they do not reimburse for ANY damage - that is their policy. First of all, what a terrible policy. Second, this policy was not told to us in any way or form prior to the move.
Absoloutly horrible. They helped unload my parents moving truck.not only did they damage stuff. But afterwards they said we owed more money. My parents said no. That they agreed to a certain price. Once they left they went back to office and put an additional charge to my parents credit card without authorization. They told us that they destroyed credit card information after they process their original charge. Yet they still had their credit card information on file.
DO NOT HIRE Tried to reach owner but receptionist wasn’t going to let me. She didn’t let me lodge a complaint but hung up on me when she realized I was going to lodge a complaint. My new tenant hired Tiny’s. They obviously dragged the furniture. They left grooves in floors and ripped out a carpet edging. Found the edging bent in half and stuffed into closet. I replaced edging and will try to buff out scratches. Obviously no pride in doing a good job and no accountability!
Unfortunately from my research in this and talking to the crew they said there was stuff that had already been done to the apartment by the tenant prior to them even showing up so I believe any of the scratches and all these other things … More
Do not hire this company unless you know what you're getting. They removed their mask within six feet of me indoors, gave attitude the whole time, asked uncomfortable questions, and broke a piece of furniture. When I brought this up to management they refunded me twenty bucks for something that will take several hundred to fix. Not helpful and slow, it took them about five hours to move a one bedroom. Not worth it.
Offered 2 guys for 2 hours and truck for $240. Said they would stay longer and bill cash if needed. Were told to just grab large items. Grabbed couch, a few boxes and bags. 1 room full. 1/4 truck full. Would not stay longer. Said they needed a 3rd guy. Left after 90 minutes. Would not fix it. Felt ripped off big time.
These guys are horrible. Extremely Rude, slow, and lazy. Had 3 dollies sitting in the truck but milked the clock by carrying all the boxes one by one. Definitely do not use them, you'll regret it. You get what you pay for. Total joke.
Do Not hire this company! While the men were friendly, they were SLOW! We hired a company to help move the large furniture. Items were organized and ready to load. First they arrived …
As the other reviewers stated these guys break things. On two different occasions they damaged our property while moving it. Not professional.

In their own words
James and Kevin were awesome. Arrived on time, polite, careful, finished on time, final price exactly as quoted. Would definitely use them again.
Thanks it was our pleasure Tim
5 stars for this moving company. A true maine experience in the best of ways - honest, hardworking folks who get the job done well and efficiently; with charm you can’t find outside of this state. Most affordable option in town, efficient and kind folks. I think that what workers say about their employers speaks volumes. The movers spoke so highly of their employers. It is clear they have a good working relationship with them - there is lots of respect.
Good afternoon Kimberly we are so happy everything worked out I was certainly I will be sure to let the guys know how much you appreciate there hard work always happy to see a happy customer if we can ever be of help please reach out thanks again Tim
Tiny Tim Movers were absolutely fantastic and truly came through for our family in a pinch. After another moving company no-called, no-showed the day before our move, we were left scrambling. Tiny Tim Movers stepped in and saved the day. The three movers arrived earlier than expected and got right to work. They were incredibly efficient and had our entire 3-bedroom house loaded into a 26-foot U-Haul in just 2 hours.
That's very nice of you thanks for the very kind review we are very happy to be able to save the day as moving is already a very stressful part of life thanks Tim
Had Tiny Tim movers move me and cannot say enough good things from the initial call to scheduling ..very helpful Movers showed up early very nice listened to all my concerns and were awesome absolutely a great experience since no one really enjoys moving !!!!...it was pretty stress free !!!! 5 Stars !!!!
