I have many times over the last 15 years and this was a disaster. My furniture was scratched and gouged, wheels broken off from my piano. My 2 year old couch had a ripped cushion and black marks on the sides and on all of the cushions-top and bottom. (not repairable with fabric ripped off from the corners) Corner of my buffet was damaged and all of my bedroom furniture was damaged with indents in the wood or scratches. They left the sleeper sofa and chair in my second story on their sides, table upside down and bed not assembled. (couldn't find the screws when they took it down). Last but not least, they broke the edges of my 7 foot air hockey table. Purely abusive, piggish, uncaring employee that stacked all of my furniture in the truck like some cheap merchandise you are taking to the dump. I am heart broken since I have taken pride and care of my furniture whether new or old for all of these years. I would never have guessed a professional moving company could have done this. Never use this company

Actually was quite disappointed with the movers I had. They were extremely rough with my items and didnt set up the furniture at all. They were in a great hurry to leave and didnt complete any of the set ups. My front door and several walls were badly scratched as was the item they moved. Sadly I wish that I could have just moved it myself.

FAQ

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 I Need Moving Insurance?

It's always a good idea to get insurance, and in the interest of being responsible, we're not going to tell you to skip it. However, if you're feeling risky and you're only moving a couple blocks (without anything fragile thrown in the mix), you may be able to get away with the basic coverage offered by your movers.

How Should I Prepare for my Detroit Move?

To prepare for a move in Detroit, we recommend taking a few important steps. First, make sure you've got a job lined up at your destination. Secondly, downsize as much as possible before shopping for movers.

If you're doing your own packing, box up your stuff starting with the least-used items, and always pack an essentials bag so you aren't stuck rooting through boxes for your toothbrush or clean underwear.

What’s the Best Time of Year to Move to Detroit?

Detroit may have decent weather sometimes, but we always recommend a mid-month, mid-week move, in any season but the summer.

Take a word of advice from the iMoving pros: Avoid a June, July, or August move if possible. It’s the most expensive time to move, and it’s usually WAY too hot for hauling boxes.

How Can I Tell if a Mover is Legit?

Movers need to have an official Department of Transportation (DOT) number, which you should be able to find on their website. If a moving company handles long distance moves that cross state lines, they'll also need a Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) number. Don't forget to check reviews and look for any insurance info they may feature on their website.
