OUR HISTORY

MiniMoves is a professional moving and relocation services company for moves across the United States (and around the world).

Image

The MiniMoves® concept was born when founder & CEO, Jack Arslanian, pledged to fill a void in the moving industry – no one properly serviced America’s small shipments across the country. Jack wanted to create a company of small job movers that could provide full service solutions for small moves across the country and locally. Shipments of this size are typically too small for van lines and too large for mail carriers to ship these moving boxes easily, especially when one needs to ship boxes across country. MiniMoves® was created in 1991 and has been giving small move customers the full service treatment ever since. MiniMoves® initial target markets were shipping moving boxes, art, and furniture for college students and art galleries, which later also developed into corporate relocations for entry or mid-level new hires. Over 30 years later MiniMoves® has expanded to over 124 locations nationwide and has expanded its service markets to military and international moving services. MiniMoves® has proven that big things come in small packages.

WHY MINIMOVES?

We have the move that you’re looking for!

Full service at a do-it-yourself price. 

MiniMoves® was started in 1991 to fill a need for people who wanted to move small items without having to pay a high minimum charge to a van line or drive a truck and do it themselves. We have perfected the best methods to move shipments of one piece of furniture up to a full apartment. Our apartment movers provide all of the careful handling and moving packing services you expect from professional movers but at a cost that is comparable to do-it-yourself truck or container rental.

Van lines with large trucks spend as much money coming to your home to move small items as they do to load a five bedroom household. That’s why they set a minimum charge based on thousands of pounds of shipping weight. MiniMoves does not have a minimum weight.

Container companies like PODS™ or PackRat™ offer fixed-size containers that you need to fill to keep your goods from shifting during stop-and-go driving and during the lifting and placement of the container. Or, what happens if you have one or two pieces too many that just won’t fit? What happens then? MiniMoves® does not have a fixed size or a space minimum. Our small item moving service is totally scalable so we adjust to fit the size of your shipment.

Truck rental seems like the low cost way to move apartments but, when you up all of the costs for gas or diesel fuel, insurance coverage for the truck and for your belongings, pad and dolly rental, excess mileage or extra days, you’ll discover that you may not be saving any money at all and instead of relaxing, while professional apartment movers load your stuff, you’re doing all the work.

MiniMoves® makes moving easy and affordable! We provide convenient dates on small item moving that get your goods delivered in 2 – 14 days depending on the distance of your move. MiniMoves® has the lowest cargo claims rate of any interstate van line because of our exceptional furniture shipping services. We use skilled, background checked, drug tested professional state to state movers to deliver big service on small moves. Our highly skilled, professional apartment movers provide inside pick up and inside delivery, all at a cost that is competitive with traditional van lines and do-it-yourself methods of moving.

Why MiniMoves?

Whether moving down the street, across the country, or to a new home or building across the globe, we’re here to help with your move.

Courteous and efficient packers

“Courteous and efficient packers; worked quickly and professionally; items arrived well within stated timeframe in good condition and were unpacked and set up at the other end efficiently and carefully.”

Julie B.

Would recommend this company for any moving local or long-distance

Very professional and. They arrived when they said they were going to and left the property clean when they were dropping off all the movers graded with a hello and introduced themselves asked where we wanted the furniture cleaned up took away all the wrapping materials definitely would recommend this company for any moving local or long-distance five star all the way.

Bob Pretti

The local team who delivered the items were respectful, courteous, and efficient.

All communication throughout the entire moving process with MiniMoves went effortlessly. What I was promised happened. The pick-up of items went without any problems, and the movers were respectful and efficient. The delivery date was very important; it happened on the date promised–no delays, no problems. The local team who delivered the items were respectful, courteous, and efficient. They protected the floors, took their shoes off to walk on carpet areas, and disposed of packaging. They even thanked us. I can honestly say having moved several times, this has been the best moving experience.

We moved from Illinois to Indiana and they took so much stress off our hands.

I am beyond impressed!! MiniMoves, specifically Chava and his team, has been absolutely AMAZING!! We moved from Illinois to Indiana and they took so much stress off our hands. They came in and packed up almost everything for us. And when I say packed, I really do mean packed. I didn’t have to do much of anything. They covered and wrapped everything too so that nothing would be damaged at all during the moving process. The crew was very polite and they worked quickly and efficiently. I will 100% do service with them again!! Whether you’re moving down the street or across the country, I highly recommend this company for your moves!!

“I used MiniMoves partner, Porter Moving Company this past weekend, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the service I received. They took very good care of my belongings, and the guys were super nice. Highly recommend!!!”

Cedar Rapids – Martha T.

“The move was within town although originally they had agreed to make the move across country when that was the original situation. They were sensitive and responsive to my mother’s and our needs, and the move was handled quickly and well. We did the packing so they handled heavy boxes and furniture. Furniture pieces were very important to my mother, family pieces, and everything was moved and arrived without a problem. Very happy with their work and would recommend them.”

Martha T.

I’m so glad I had them help us move!

“They were really professional, really nice, on time and I’m so glad I had them help us move!”

I googled local movers based solely on the reviews

MiniMoves came highly recommended.  I spoke to Steve who explained the process, Lue guided me thru the Website and Francisco answered any questions we had regarding the move.  He also contacted us the day to remind us.  Our Movers were Angel and Jeff! We were extremely satisfied with their work; professional, fast, strong and personable. We knew they would wrap the breakable furniture however surprised they dismantled bed/head board and TVs.  I highly recommend MiniMoves.  Thank you MiniMoves Staff for accommodating us on such short notice and making this move a smooth transition!  Shout out to our movers, Angel and Jeff ! 👍🏼👏🏼

We would highly recommend MM Worldwide

We used MM Worldwide, a division of MiniMoves, after our original international removal company went bust highlighting the perils of moving, Jackie Dennis stepped in and was able to quickly arrange our international removal and quoted a competitive price. We were very pleased with the level of support information, guidance, and promptness of the various teams used in the process. Jackie and the team she worked with, showed a level of knowledge, experience, and reassurance necessary in this time of personal stress. We would highly recommend MM Worldwide.

“Awesome team. Worked their tails off in the heat and humidity. Very reasonable. I would for sure recommend this company to any of my friends.”

My international move was made infinitely simpler with MM Worldwide

My international move from New York to Scotland was made infinitely simpler with MM Worldwide, A division of MiniMoves. Each step of the way, my move manager, Jackie, kept me informed and aware. Any time I had a question, she had an answer. She walked me through each detail and maintained a steady stream of communication. From upstate New York, where my mover, Bruna, was on time, friendly, and efficient, to Lynn, in Scotland, who coordinated all the details, I was never alone on this journey. This transcontinental move was hectic in many ways but MM Worldwide was never a concern thanks to the consistent communication and ability to walk me through each step. I will shout their praises from the rooftops and will certainly work with them again for any moves in the future.

Great California to New Zealand Move

The volume of items we wanted to move was too small for the traditional movers we approached, but one of them recommended MiniMoves and MM Worldwide. They were great – kept us informed, coordinated with international movers, their packers arrived on time and were careful. Would use them again for a similar move.

MiniMoves did a great job moving family bedroom furniture

MiniMoves did a great job moving family bedroom furniture from Kansas City to Florida. They were personable, cared about the work they were doing, and they ran an efficient operation. When the furniture is special and it isn’t a large load, this is the way to go!

Colleen Lunceford

Everything about my experience … was excellent

“Everything about my experience with MiniMoves was excellent. The customer service was outstanding in scheduling the move. The crew that handled the move was professional and fastidiously careful with our “stuff”. Highly recommended!!!”

Jeffrey Jones

Cedar Rapids – Nick W.

“Moved a lot of furniture (plenty of it being heavy) in a timely manner. Very friendly movers, polite, and cautious with everything. Not a single mark on walls or furniture. All of that and they are priced well. Highly recommend.”

Nick W.

We would highly recommend them!

We did a partial move of furniture from CT to FL and used this company. Within a day of signing up, I received a call from a local mover that they utilize and we set up a date for pickup. A week before the move, we finalized what we were moving with our contact a Mini Moves. The day before the move, the local movers called to verify everything. On the day of the move, they were on time and took EXTREME care to wrap all our furniture. We’ve had three major moves and we have never had this kind of care. The shipment arrived two weeks after pickup – right on the schedule of  “within three weeks.” Those movers came on the day promised and on time. Not only that, they put all of our furniture in the rooms we selected and even moved a few boxes that they originally placed. We would highly recommend them!

What an excellent representation of the moving industry.

“I used MiniMoves to service my cross country move for a job relocation. In my field we are trained to deliver exceptional service to our clients and guests. In turn, we have high standards when it comes down to receive service. With MiniMoves my standards and expectations were met and exceeded. My representative took such excellent care of me. All of my questions were answered and the follow up was exceptional. MiniMoves is first class! What an excellent representation of the moving industry. If I am ever in need of moving services. MiniMoves will be the first one that I think about calling.”

~Pamela F.

Courteous staff

Courteous staff. They were careful about the items being moved and had smart calls of where things should be while I had to leave for a moment. The office sent an extra person to expedite the move so they can go to the next job on time. No extra cost for the third person.
