Why a ProMover?

The American Moving & Storage Association launched a consumer protection and certification program called ProMover on January 1, 2009. The AMSA ProMover initiative is designed to fight impostors, known within the industry as “rogue operators,” by giving consumers an easy way to separate reputable, professional movers from con artists out to make a quick buck at their expense.

The ProMover program takes the worry and the hassle out of moving and storage by helping consumers identify quality professional movers who subscribe to our goals and by providing them with information and assistance with everything from finding a mover, to getting an estimate and packing tips, to understanding valuation and insurance.

As the representative of the nation’s household goods movers, AMSA holds itself out as the good steward of the moving industry. We believe in effective government regulations and policies which enable our members to provide quality service at compensatory prices. Along with providing advocacy for consumers utilizing professional moving and storage services, we strive to furnish information that informs the public about their rights and responsibilities when they move and the value of professional moving and storage services.

The ProMover program promotes ethical principles in the moving and storage industry and works with federal and state governments to mitigate unethical moving practices; it clearly separates professional movers from rogue operators masquerading as legitimate movers. And most importantly, this program aids consumers by providing an identifiable measure of quality while, at the same time, enhancing the moving industry by encouraging and recognizing high professional achievement.

It is important to keep in mind, however, that AMSA is not a government agency and does not have the authority to order refunds or reimbursements for damages, force a settlement or to demand any type of compensatory payment from your mover. Although our ProMover members have agreed to meet our standards, participation in the ProMover program does not represent a guarantee by AMSA of their performance; however, we do routinely remove movers from our membership that no longer meet our standards.

“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.”

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!

“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.”

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.

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 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.”

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.

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 ! 👍🏼👏🏼

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.

“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.”

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!!
