            I hired Minimoves for a move between ************, ** and ******, ** (move # *****). After various issues with the move, including the price being different than agree to, the movers showing up late, and no communication surrounding delivery, my goods finally arrived at the destination in ******. Numerous items were broken, including family heirlooms. The ****** movers informed me that the ************ movers improperly packed certain items and lots other items, such as furniture hardware and peloton pieces. I have attempted to contact minimoves on over 10 occasions, and have not received a response to date. I also have not received my move paperwork, which I have requested on 3 occasions. I have reached out to *********************************, the move coordinator, and her supervisor -- who I have called and email numerous times with no response. I am unable to file a claim because Minimoves will not send me my move paperwork and no one will return my calls or emails. I have over $2000 in damages and Minimoves is totally unresponsive. I am happy to provide photos of the damaged good and copies of the email outreach with no response.

            Minimoves was recommended to me by another moving company. I knew that if it was recommended by another company because it fit my needs than I would have a good move experience. The move from one state to the other went very smooth. There was a possible box of broken ***** and they had the forms ready but the ***** was fine. The best was my window of getting my things was shortened and I received my things 3 days after I arrived and not the 10 to 20 days. Great respect for the 4 men who moved my items up 30 stairs up a spiral staircase. Highly recommend this company
