I desperately needed movers to bring furniture from Woodstock, NY to Watertown, MA after the original company I selected dropped out less than a week before the move date, and I am so lucky that Mimi's was available and willing to pick up the contract. They were friendly, professional, and very comfortable handling my furniture, which included a glass top table, a large old leather couch, and a very heavy double dresser. Everything made it up the stairs into my new place without a scratch. It couldn't have been a smoother move. Highly recommend.

The time changed and it took five hours later. The truck already had someone else’s stuff on it so they had to make three trips which made it even longer. Other than that the three people that moved me were phenomenal.

A couple of issues. A day before the move, I called to add a stop. The movers were not informed of this. Therefore they did not completely understand me when I separated the items into two categories: “Inn”: the first stop was to be the inn where I moved to. They seemed to understand me, but a few minutes after arriving at the Inn, I saw them drive right by it. I was able to contact them by phone. They told me that their instructions were to do one stop only (the storage units). They had not received the change to two stops. So they were talking about refusing to come back to the Inn and unloading everything at the storage unit. Why did they not understand me when I talked about two stops for several hours as they were packing? Was it their limited grasp of English? Anyway, Peter called them and clarified that it was to stops. So they did come to the inn (time spent on resolving this misunderstanding: about 45 minutes. Please do not charge me for that time. They dropped some of the items marked “Inn” at storage. And dropped some of the things marked “Storage” at the Inn. So it’s taking me several hours to correct the known errors and to do quality control on the rest. Thinking of all this and comparing it to experiences with movers in the past, I now doubt that I would hire this company again.

IMoving communication is terrible. Texts, emails go unanswered. Carrier was switched at last minute with no notification. Could never get the same person to talk to. Rita was bordering on rude, never returned my call. Despite my telling you what size truck I needed, the wrong size was sent. I would never recommend iMoving.

Communication snafus happen but it still happened. However, all the parts of the machine NEED BETTER COMMUNICATION skills. It was very frustrating to NOT hear the same thing from every side and I would hesitate - but not completely reject telling someone about your service

iMoving made mistakes on the scheduling and then kept making the same mistakes repeatedly, even with the same person. I am unlikely to use iMoving again. The mover himself was phenomenal.

Salem Moving Services Are a Click Away

Every move is different. Whether it’s a home, office, or just a few items of heavy furniture, iMoving provides a whole menu of must-have services for moving in and out of Salem:

Long Distance Moving

It can be tough to find the best long distance moving companies in Salem. That's why iMoving gives you a whole list of your best options. We also made it easier than ever to book an interstate move: Just tell us where you're headed and what you're taking with you, and choose from a curated list that's tailored to your needs.

Want to make sure you're dealing with the best of the best? We've got you covered. Our research team checks each mover's safety records, service histories and customer feedback - and we call in and pose as customers to keep 'em honest.

Local Moving

Local moves are charged per hour, per mover - and most jobs require about two movers per bedroom. To make sure you're getting a fair deal and a team that'll show up on time, use iMoving to get the best of the best.

At iMoving, we make it easier than ever to shop for quotes and book the best local moving company in Salem. Our research department combs through customer feedback and service history to make sure your team will get the job done with minimal fuss, and we'll even check in to make sure they're still meeting our standards.

Packing Services

Booking packing in Salem isn't just about getting some professional help for your boxes and bubble wrap. It's also about scoring some sweet insurance coverage.

In the moving industry, movers provide basic coverage for free. But that's just good for $0.60 per pound. If you want full value coverage, you'll have to pay extra for it - and movers won't even offer it unless you're paying them for packing, too. Sure, accidents are rare, but the peace of mind is priceless (not to mention the convenience of having professionals handling the hardest part of the job)!

Find out more

Storage Services

Storage isn't just for moving day. In fact, plenty of customers use long-term storage to keep their seasonal decor out of the way until it's time to redecorate. And others may need a temporary spot for furniture or other items they're trying to sell.

Whether you've got Christmas ornaments, a sofa that's priced to move, or a lot of extra boxes from the big move, you can book storage in Salem with iMoving. And as an added bonus, the storage providers in our network can organize direct-to-door delivery so you don't have to make any trips to a storage unit.

Commercial Moving

Every move is different, and so is every business. That's why iMoving makes it easy to book a completely custom commercial move, provided by the best commercial movers in Salem.

Need someone to haul your heavy machinery? Need a skilled hand to take care of your IT equipment? We've got what you're looking for, and we've made it available in just a few clicks. Cut out the downtime, and book the corporate movers you need with iMoving.

FAQ

What is a Moving Shuttle?

When you move to a more built-up or urban area, chances are they won't let you park an entire semi truck in front of your apartment. Your movers will have to park the main truck at a staging area, and use a smaller box truck or van to transport your stuff to (and from) the trailer. This is called a moving shuttle, and the inconvenience comes at a price. Blame your city council.

How Much Should I Pay Up Front for a Move?

If a moving company is expecting you to pay for your entire move up front, run. This is a common tactic for sketchy movers, and if you pay up front, there's no guarantee they'll even deliver your stuff. On the other hand, paying a down payment before the big day is relatively common. Expect to pay a few hundred bucks, or 5-10% of the price of your move. Also, use iMoving to make sure you aren't dealing with scammers.

What is Moving Labor?

Moving labor is a helpful service you can book if you're planning on DIYing most of your move. Rather than a full-service moving team, moving labor can show up, help with packing, and help with the heavy lifting. Everything else will be up to you, unless you book a moving labor team to meet you at your destination, too.

How Far in Advance Should I Book My Movers?

We always recommend booking your movers at least 2 or 3 months in advance. It may seem like a huge window, but it'll give you plenty of time to plan and prepare. Plus, if you provide a flexible enough moving window, you may end up getting some sweet discounts.

Do iMoving Carriers Offer Moving Insurance?

All movers are legally required to offer a minimum level of insurance coverage. Unfortunately, this amounts to about $0.60 per pound of items lost, damaged, or destroyed. Did your 4 pound Macbook get broken in transit? You're only gonna get $2.40. Fortunately, iMoving can connect you with movers who offer full value protection. This means if something gets damaged or broken, you'll be reimbursed the actual price.
