If you want your storage unit to look like this, have an extremely unprofessional experience with no respect of your items AND to have to go back and spend two hours of your own time to fix what was done - DO NOT use Matt's Moving!! I had high end winter clothing items go missing during my move (Canada Goose, Uggs, Moncler) and custom wood furniture damaged (Room and Board, pottery barn) when I confronted Sherri, their sales associate she told me the best they could do was reimburse me $200 in total. Additional Callouts: - The team of 3 movers were 30 minutes late - The movers brought my clothes that I had on rolling racks downstairs and after breaking one of the rolling racks, they decided to throw my clothes into boxes in my apartments common space without my knowledge or consent. When we got to storage I noticed what was done and immediately went through my clothing items / shoes and while doing so, one mover continued to make comments on all the "expensive" items I had knowing their worth - They would carry in large items (couch & tables) by themselves and would hit them on corners and ceiling without remorse and damaged items read more

Our moving experience with Matt's Moving was horrible. We had inexperienced movers, they left much of our stuff in the house (we were moving out of), they did not follow directions (from us or from their team leader), and we were over charged by $800! Moving is incredibly stressful. No need to deal with a company that has such low regard for its customers. I was told they would reinvestigate our case. It's been a couple months and I haven't heard a word. Not sure why I expected more. They've been very consistent (not in a good way). read more

Marco and Jorge were great!!! Arrived on time, packed our items very carefully and delivered to our new home in great condition. They were more than happy to move things around once they moved things in the house. I highly recommend Matt's Moving. Also very reasonable. read more

The website makes it look like this is a professional moving company, but they are not. I contacted them about moving a treadmill from the basement of my old house to the second floor of the new one, and told them exactly what model it was. They represented that they were able to do this job, and told me it would probably just cost the two hour minimum. On moving day, a comically large 26' rent a truck arrived. Not the Matt's Moving trucks you see on their website and also much larger than necessary. The movers told me they don't take apart treadmills. They didn't even have the manual. Remember I told them exactly which one it was two weeks ahead of time. To be fair, the movers did actually show me the paperwork. It said nothing but "just a treadmill." So I don't know how they were supposed to know how big it is. The other comments on here about management misrepresenting and then making no effort to communicate to their own employees are completely true. They eventually did spend five minutes taking it apart and got it up the stairs. At that point 90 minutes had already passed. No idea what they were doing the other 85 minutes. At the destination, they again milked the clock, making noises for twenty minutes but without one single bolt or screw turned. We were concerned about spending even more overage than we already had with no effect, and asked them to leave. In retrospect, I should've just abandoned this treadmill and bought a new one. read more

My dining table was SUPPOSEDLY wrapped in blankets, but was damaged. Some spots may be repairable, but the top is not! They will not spend the $700 to replace the table top. This table was $1000 and only a year old! Many boxes marked "basement" were left in the garage. Leather furniture has scrapes, paint scraped off the metal arms of my lawn chairs, they screwed up my patio door, broke a small bench stool that is part of my bedroom set, broke my tall dresser so NONE of the drawers would close, cracked a piece of siding on my new house, lost a wheel for my shop-vac, scuffed my end table and coffee table. They changed the start time twice on moving day and were still an hour and a half late, making me late for my Xfinity appointment at my new place. They finally found a handyman to repair some of the damage, but that was a month ago and he hasn't been back to finish. I'm VERY FRUSTRATED! It has been almost 6 months of trying to get my stuff repaired or replaced!! read more

Used Matt's Moving for our move from a 900 sq ft apartment to a 4 bedroom house. There was a flat trip charge of $97.50 + $130/hr for two movers. I appreciated the flat trip charge because other companies charge a fee based on the driving time instead (how do you know they didn't stop for donuts?!). The customer service was good, no issues there. They called me the week of to confirm. The guys showed up on time and were quick and efficient. One guy carried two gigantic boxes on his back like a sherpa. They were careful moving furniture into our house making sure to not damage any walls. I wish they had brought more roll out rugs because they didn't have enough to cover all the stairway carpets. At the end, I appreciated that they asked if any furniture needed to be repositioned. Overall, very glad we hired these guys! read more

I didn't end up using this company but they where great to work with. I had a sub zero refrigerator to move. About 600 pounds in the middle of a snowy winter. They where worried they didn't have the right equipment and where going to up charge me. This was the only negative thing about the experience so make sure they stick to their quote. Anyway they arranged for their company to do it with their guys or for another company to do it it that had more experience moving heavy things. I went with the other company but was impressed with how they found them for me. Also how they were willing to work with me to get the job done. I would call them for any other moving I need done. read more

Unbelievably hard workers. I was expecting movers to drag their butts to rack up the time. These guys HUSTLED for the entire 3 hours. Instead of taking a few boxes at a time on a dolly, they filled an EXTRA LARGE moving box to take SEVERAL boxes in ONE TRIP. They made my move much easier than I expected. read more

We moved just 5 miles to our new home in October 2020. We had everything packed up in boxes and very few furniture items. The movers arrived on schedule and everything was loaded, delivered and unloaded in about 4 hours. The workers were cordial and hard working. I would use them again. I hope I never need to move again. Excellent service from scheduling to the move itself. If you need a professional and efficient mover call Matt's Movers. I'm one very satisfied customer. read more

The Matt's crew was great! The booking process was excellent, I had called 5 companies and Matt's was by far the most responsive. They called initially to talk through my items, then called about a week before to confirm we were good on the date and time. Day of move, not only were they early, they also worked quickly. I didn't expect that from a company that got paid by the hour (you'd think they'd drag their feet a bit for more money). Everything got wrapped so there was no damage. They say you can't get cheap, fast, and good, but I felt like I got all 3 with Matt's. Would definitely recommend! read more

Please, do not hire Matt's Moving. I have moved about five times with a U-Haul trailer and this is the worst moving job I have ever experienced. I hired Matt's Moving a month ago to load a U-Haul that I transported to another state, and I was extremely disappointed from beginning to end. Not only were all of my furniture items (yes, all - my dining set, my bookcase, dresser, etc.) ruined by the time I got to my location, but they were loaded unprofessionally, and the movers used three of the twenty furniture pads I had supplied myself, after repeatedly asking the movers to use the pads. I do believe that if the items had been appropriately loaded for transport, they wouldn't have been damaged to this extent, if at all, during transport. I have moved different states before, and I have never had anything damaged in a U-Haul. Although they were unable to pay for any of the broken and damaged furniture, because of legalities concerning unloading that was not done by them, I expected them to at least refund me for the job itself. I have yet to receive a reply to my email from two weeks ago. In addition, the movers were late, did not fill the U-Haul up to maximum capacity and did not even stay the two hour minimum. My friends fit in objects that the movers said they "couldn't fit in," and placed a furniture pad on my TV which was not harmed or damaged when I arrived at my destination - giving proof that my furniture would have been protected from being damaged, as I had instructed. I am confused as to why the movers felt that their job was finished after staying 1.5 hours, out of a 2 hour minimum, with items waiting to be loaded. I had to throw away some things that, upon opening the trailer at arrival, would have fit in the back. I had also asked them to load the U-Haul a certain way, that was more productive and efficient than they ultimately loaded it, and they did not. I have moved at least a dozen times growing up, and five times in my adult life, so I know what a loaded U-Haul should look like. Again, none of my furniture has ever been damaged in this way! I believe there should be accountability on behalf of this company for not listening to a paying client and their requests, not using available moving pads, and leaving before a two hour minimum. I am truly disappointed in this moving job and this company's response. I do not believe it upholds their reputation as being the "Best Movers in Minnesota." Please, save your money and your furniture and find a different company. You'll thank yourself later. read more

I wish I could write a better review. My fiancee and I have used Matt's for moving 4 times between us over the past several years, and the first three times were awesome. The crews were friendly and efficient. However, on my last move, I was really quite disappointed. I received a call the evening before the move to ask if they could add another guy to the job, which I agreed to after they assured me repeatedly that it would end up being cheaper. The job ended up being about 50% over budget. In part this was because toward the very end of the move (last 40 minutes or so), the elevator in my building went out, and the last few items had to be brought up the stairs. I really appreciated the hard work of the crew and tipped them well, even though they broke a few things in the broken elevator confusion. However, when the bill came, it was clear that Matt's had not only charged me for the time it took them to help another resident of my building (about 40 minutes) and for "transit time" of 45 minutes when I moved about a block away (it takes ~2 mins to drive between the two). I called Matt's to report the issue the next Monday and they offered me a small settlement to deal with the damage and missed work time that I was charged for. It didn't even cover the damaged items, but I accepted it hoping to move on. Fast forward a week or two and we've unloaded all the boxes and realize there are probably two boxes' worth of items missing. I've called Matt's twice on this issue and each time they have promised to look into it, but I haven't received a return call. The missing items probably total somewhere in the $500-1,000 range. This is completely unacceptable. After three great moves with Matt's, I wish I could rate them higher, but they appear completely unable to handle any issues that arise. read more

We had a couple of your movers come out to help us move and set up short-term rental properties. I have to say, that the experience was very unprofessional and frustrating. When I called to schedule, I explained the nature of the move, that we were moving furniture between rental properties and that there might be some back-and-forth between houses. The movers complained about having to go between properties that were a block apart. I don't see how this should be a problem as they are being paid hourly. I had also verified that the movers were available to assemble furniture. The woman on the phone assured me that Matt's offered this service. Assembly was the primary reason we selected Matt's to help with our move despite their comparatively high prices. The movers also made a fuss about having to do the assembly and left one piece of furniture unassembled. Overall, there seemed to have been a large gap in communication between admin and the movers. This is all very unacceptable and I can't say that I'd recommend this company to anyone in the future. read more

I used Matt's Moving during my last apartment change. Making the reservation was very easy, and they give you notifications before the day of the move. The crew who came to my place were friendly, courteous, and seemed to have a really good rapport with each other. I mostly stayed out of their way as they went about wrapping fragile items and putting it in their truck. Because they do wrap up a lot of your fragile items, that does add a little to the total move time, and their minimum rate is for 2 hours . Top tip: they will move your lamps, but not the bulbs. Because my new apartment had hardwood floors, they made sure to put down mats to make sure they don't get scratched. Overall, money very well spent as they made what could easily be an exasperating activity into a very breezy move. read more

What an awesome team! They were on time, super thoughtful, so kind, and extremely accommodating. They made an incredibly stressful day feel manageable and dare I say enjoyable?! I cannot day enough good things. I was truly blown away. Covid precautions were made & the crew was diligent about following them. I would hire again in a heartbeat if I hadn't just moved. Also, final bill came in way under the estimate even with the tip we left. We followed their suggestions for organizing the move and the crew did say we were very prepared. read more

I wish I could write a good review for Matt's Moving. After reading such positive reviews, I had really high hopes that I would have a great experience. Instead, I had a frustrating, disappointing, and extremely expensive move. When I started the quote process, the customer service was great. I felt like they understood my move and what services I needed. When my move day actually came, the experience turned bad quickly. The morning of my move, two of the three movers showed up on time. Before they could start the move, they had to wait for the third mover to arrive. The two who arrived on time made it known that they were frustrated with this third mover. I brushed it off and let them get ready for the move. The lead of the crew never introduced himself as the lead, I had to deduce who was in charge and seek him out with my questions. Half an hour later, they began. I didn't see the lead of the move until they were done packing up the truck. The two movers who arrived on time made the third mover haul all of the items out of our apartment, one of them brought them down to the truck, and the third (lead), loaded them. When I completed the inventory over the phone, I was told our entire move would be 2-4 hours. The loading of the van took 4 hours. In this time, I was never once updated on the timeline. I had to call the moving company to find out what was taking so long since none of the movers would tell me. I was told, "Your inventory sheet was filled out incorrectly and you have more items than you indicated." I completed the inventory sheet over the phone with a rep from their company. I'm not sure how I could have been so far off. If the movers knew at the beginning of the morning that it was going to take much longer, I wasn't sure why they didn't tell me that upfront. I could have been more prepared for the extra time. When I spoke to the Customer Service Manager, I also asked if I was going to have to worry about a lunch period and additional costs associated with their break since it wasn't an anticipated in the initial time estimate. I was told I would not need to worry about that--the team was on their way and would be ready to unload as soon as they arrived. At my new apartment building, the tension with the movers continued to overshadow their ability to work quickly and effectively. [I later found out from one of the crew that it was his first day on the job.] The unloading proceeded to take another 2.5 hours. During this time, we discovered that one of our bookcases was completely destroyed during the move--so much so that they disposed of it before we could take a photo of it. Another bookshelf's back was completely ripped off and was not recovered. A third was damaged but salvagable. These bookcases were not the most expensive pieces of furniture we had but they still were not treated with the most care during the process. We also had to discover these issues for ourselves and were not told about the damages (except for the destroyed one). Another damage that was beyond repair was for a small table that held sentimental value to me. During the move, one of the legs on a vintage table a friend refinished was torn off and never recovered. We were not informed about the damage and didn't discover this until we tried to move it in to place at our new apartment. This felt deceptive and hurtful. Not only was this move now costing me significantly more than originally quoted, a piece of furniture that I valued was destroyed and no effort was made to inform me or right the situation. After they completed the move-in, we called to discuss the damages we started to find. The after-hours customer service rep was incredibly nice and comforting after a long and stressful day. The move ended up costing an additional $500 over the high end of the original quote and now we had furniture that we needed to replace and throw out because it could not be fixed. Again, I was never told upfront that the move was going to take much more time than originally anticipated and was never given an update as to how much more it might cost beyond the original quote. We filed a claim for our damages. We unpacked as much as possible to see if there were any additional broken items. Three weeks later, we were informed that while the company typically doesn't give damage claims to pieces of furniture made with particle board (the bookcases), they would be able to give us $75. At this point, it had been over a month and my roommate and I were frankly exhausted with this process. While we understood that the bookcases might not be covered under the insurance due to the materials they were made of, the $75 would be helpful in the process of replacing them. However, the vintage table could not be fixed nor replaced. I would not recommend this company to others. Moving is exhausting enough, let alone trying to make sure all of your furniture and other valuables make it safely to their destination. read more

Matt's Moving - Bookshelf with missing back (never recovered during move) - Movers Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

See all

Matt's Moving is amazing! They were referred to me by a friend. These guys were super fast and reasonably priced. They were fast, on-time, and nothing was damaged. They moved our 2 bedroom apartment in under 5 hours on one of the colder days of the year. I would recommend them to anyone and I will definatly use them again. read more

I am very happy to write this review for Matt's Moving. We moved from Uptown to Northeast and they came in under budget of all the quotes we could get. Coldest day this year and we opted for a moving company and I am so glad that we did. Our Crew fast and cared. Matt's Moving was awesome from the start. Great phone service, great problem at problem solving when our move changed from having to be out of apartment at an exact time. The crew was professional and ready to work. They handled all of our property with great care. They did damage a door, (very small area to get something rather big and heavy through it, an armoire) but they promptly fixed it and gave us a reimbursement. I also found them to be upfront about cost. I had missed about 10 boxes that were still in a storage locker in the basement. With a little adjustment to the bill they loaded those too. All in all I have to say, moving would have been a complete pain without using a moving company, we are very pleased we picked Matt's, we will use them again next time we move. Very, Very Happy 10 + Stars, thank you for all the hard work and sweat!! read more

5 stars for Matts moving!! We hired Matts moving to move our larger furniture into our new home this weekend and couldn't be happier! Shane and two other men worked their butts off! They were so careful to wrap our belongings up so well and put floor protecters down wherever they stepped. They moved some heavy, large furniture along with a buck hunter machine into our new home without leaving a mark on the wall or scratch on the floor. Not sure how they do what they do and make it look so easy. They were efficient, careful, fair and kind. I will recommend Matts moving to my friends and family! read more

Matt's Moving - Movers Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Moving went great. I was instructed to disassemble a treadmill to fit out the door prior to their arrival. When reassembled, the electronics didn't work. They denied any responsibility. DO NOT TAKE APART ANYTHING, THEY WILL BLAME YOU. read more

The movers themselves did a great job aside from being later than expected (wasn't their fault) and a couple things breaking, which is to be expected. The movers did offer to pay for the broken items, which was njce, and fixed one other broken piece. That's the only reason I gave a second star. However I feel that they are deceitful in their estimates. In their estimates, they do not give you a range for the grand total price. They give you the estimated hourly rate and leave out the fuel charge, overnight fee, etc. additionally, they do not tell you your options or what would be cheaper for you. They did not explain that my "one job" move hat took two days would have two $400 deposits because it took two days, not one. Same with the fuel charges. Two fuel charges for two moving days, $155 each. If we had done our move all in one day we would have paid way less, but they did not tell us this. Also in my mind a deposit is something that goes toward your payment or something you get back later if you cancel. Apparently it did go toward our payment but we still ended up paying $1,600 for a move that took 2 hours on day 1 with an overnight storage fee and 4 hours on day 2. So without the two $400 deposits we would have paid $2400?! This seems ridiculous to me. Both places were one bedrooms and only a couple miles apart from each other. The movers gave us our totals minus the deposit and fuel charges and overnight fees, so when we signed we thought we were paying way less. I'm really disappointed. They were very misleading and were 2.5 hours later than they said they would be. We will be calling to disputed some of the charges because we were so disappointed with them. read more

Matt's Moving provided a horrific experience when they moved me two months ago! I would NOT RECOMEND this company. Not only did they lose 2 boxes with about $2,000 worth of valuables, they also damaged my sleep number bed. When they moved me, it took me 3 hours to even find where they had put the remote for the bed. Then the bed was flat on one side and would not adjust at all. It took days for them to send someone out to fix it. Whatever he did worked about 24 hours and then more problems arose. Someone else was sent to fix it and in the next 48 hours it was again flat + stuck in a 45 degree angle. This forced me to stay in a hotel simply so I could sleep. They refused to send anyone else to fix it. Apparently they do not know what they are doing even though they said that they had experience with sleep number beds when I asked. Now I've spent hours on the phone with sleep number staff and missed time from work to do this simply to get the information for Matt's Moving on the damages caused. Sleep number has told me me multiple times that they don't track this damage. At this time, I have spent almost another $900 simply trying to get my bed fixed, find places to sleep and more. 2 months later Matt's Moving - A NIGHTMARE OF A COMPANY - is still denying that they damanged this and are responsible to reimburse me the costs. I SO DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY! They are liars,cheaters, great at damaging your valualbes,and could care less about their cutstomers. All they want is money. If you want a peaceful, stress free and safe move, DO NOT GO WITH MATT's MOVING!!!! They are out to get you! read more

I used Matt's Moving again for a recent move and it went so smoothly. The movers showed up on time, they were super friendly and really fast. We could not have been happier with the experience! read more

I have used this company now 3 times since spring of 2014. This time, I hired them to help my boyfriend move in. Their a.m. move was done way early, so they called and offered to come right over. In 2 hours, even after one of them injured their thumb, my fella's studio apartment was moved into our place. Alex and Ramses, thank you for a great move. We will both continue to refer people to Matt's. read more

You know that you are all grown up when you decide to hire movers. We got tired of scrounging for reluctant friends to help us haul our sh*t for 8 hours. Renting a U-Haul truck and MAYBE getting it for that day became tedious. So we decided to hire real moving professionals. These guys came in and moved our valuables with a speed of a ninja. I see a pile of boxes in the living room, I go pee, and the boxes are gone upon my return. Amazing how two professional movers can move all of our stuff from A to B in 3 hours. They were also courteous and moved our valuables like it was their stuff. All the furniture were wrapped with saran wrap or protective cloth. They provided this thing called a "wardrobe box." Apparently, you can place your clothes...with the hangars!!!!..into these boxes. My gawd! Gone are the days of large plastic yard bags! They also suggested to leave the clothes in the dresser drawers. And I enthusiastically said "What? We can do that?" All billing is transparent and price is competitive. We will use them again! read more

Simply put: Matt's Moving was great to work with. Fast, efficient, and affordable. We'd never hired movers before and - let's face it - I was hesitant to spend the money. I mean, Just rent a truck, bro. That's what I was saying to myself. But no. I dove in, spent the money. And it was worth every penny. I never plan on moving ever again, so help me God. But say it does happen? Say I have to go through this nightmare again? I'm calling Matt's. read more

I recommend them. They were easy to deal with over the phone. Very transparent about the contract and cost. As promised arrived on time on Friday morning. Two very nice and friendly young men (Trev and Jason) promptly loaded everything up and unloaded everything at the destination. A large 1 BR apartment move across town took little less than 5 hours. read more

I have used Matt's three times now and it has been smooth and magical each time. They are communicative, friendly, efficient, and worth every penny. I have used one other popular moving company in the area and Matt's far surpasses them. They have always arrived within the window of time they said they would, calling at least 30 minutes before arrival. I have ended up needing an extra stop during some of the moves (goodwill, the dump etc.) and they have done so no questions asked. I would recommend them to anyone. read more

Having had the pleasure of moving several times over several years, I am in the lucky position of having had a range of experiences with movers. Matt's moving falls in the middle. The guys who came were nice, and did the job without much fuss. They worked quickly and efficiently, and my stuff arrived to the new place without damage to them or the house. They were professional, arrived on time, and have materials on hand to pack things that needed extra protection. Two big issues that dropped them a few stars: They are very off on their initial quote. I know the quotes are variable since they are off of a phone call, and asking you to estimate as best as you can how much stuff you have. However, the actual move ended up costing 3x the initial quote, which I think is out of control. On the day before the move, I got a call asking if we could bump up the number of movers because "it just seems like a bigger job." I would have rather they included this in the initial quote/asked their movers before low-balling the quote. Now it just seems like they low balled the initial quote so I'd hire them, and then ended up pushing up the price overall at the very end when I didn't have many other options. It didn't take much longer than previously anticipated, but that was a bit of a sticker shock. Second: They never did any form of inventory. The previous movers I had, including both local and long distance, had some form of inventory, even if it is just for the big things. These guys didn't do that, just basically took everything, and put it in the truck. So I honestly can't tell you for sure I got everything back (seems like it, but there's not really something keeping track). At the end though, they left a bunch of their moving materials, namely padding and blankets still at the house. I guess I'll just throw them away? So yes, 3x the initial quote defeats the purpose of a quote in the first place, don't you think? And to call the day before the move to see if you could increase the number of movers (and therefore the price) is a little, well, underhanded. read more

We utilized Matt's Moving again! This time our move was much bigger. We moved a 28 person Architecture firm in less than 2 days. Matt's moving and their crew of 10 guys and 3 trucks did a phenomenal job. They helped us pack our entire office and disassemble and reassemble modular office furniture. They made our move relatively seamless by coordinating ahead of time with our staff, taking inventory of what we needed packed and providing us packing supplies ahead of time. They even came in under their estimated fee. I really like they they are a company that acts with integrity and kindness. Their crew leaders and movers were fantastic to work with and made sure that we were happy clients. I also appreciate that they were flexible with our schedule. Due to construction issues at our new office we had to move out our date multiple times and they were very accommodating about rescheduling. I will continue to utilize them for any future moves! read more

I used Matt's Moving to unload 2 ABF U-Pack Relo-cubes (I had used U-Pack for my long distance move from Seattle WA to St. Paul MN), load onto their truck, and then unload again into my loft in downtown St. Paul. After realizing that dropping the cubes downtown would be a logistical nightmare, I desperately called numerous moving companies in town and they were able to book me with about 3 days notice. Their rates were very competitive (actually the lowest I was quoted) and after discussing the contents/size of my move with their customer service, the time quote was pretty accurate as well. They were incredible- they showed up promptly at 9AM at the ABF terminal and were unloading immediately after we unlocked the cubes. They had unloaded & reloaded 2 cubes (which measure 8Hx7Wx8L and were stuffed) in 1 hour! When we got downtown to my place, they unloaded everything and placed in each room that I requested in only 1 hour again! I had 2 guys, who were super fast and efficient, hard working, but also extremely respectful and friendly. I would highly recommend Matt's Moving to anyone who needs moving assistance in the Twin Cities!!! read more

If I could give less than 1 star I would. Horrible service. Broke my furniture and have a Oops to bad for you. We only pay by weight not cost to replace. Took them 7 hours to move me and I had to help them or it would have been at least 2 hours more. Other move same stuff. Actually less stuff this time only took 3 hour. I will never use this company again. After much complaining they reduced cost by 2 hours. Did not replace my furniture they broke by dropping a heavy box on my table. Let me say again I will never use this company again. Bob French read more

I used Matt's moving last June 18. Chris was the office person who scheduled and organized everything. They sent 3 movers- Jesse, Jay & Chris. I have moved a couple of times before and I have never seen fast and reliable movers until I saw them. They were organized, respectful and went about their job tirelessly. They got done half the time compared to my previous move and it was twice the distance. I will certainly use them again. Great job guys. read more

I did a lot of reseach on yelp when I looked for movers since I didn't want to go through some of the nightmares I read about, and I wanted to keep my costs down. IIn terms of budget, Matt's Moving was a middle of the road option for me. They arrived pretty much on time, and I have everything packed and ready to go. THe only thing that went wrong was during the ride over to my new place. Something happened with their truck, and they had to stop and get a replacement part. It delayed the move by about 30-45 minutes, but they didn't charge me for this time, and they actually threw in about 15 free minutes. Overall, this was my first time utilizing a moving service, and I was pretty satisfied. I was hoping that they would be a little faster and more efficient, but I could tell they were working (and sweating) really hard and trying to be careful with my things. read more

I called them around 8:30 am, they showed up at 11:00 am like promised and they were ready to go. I was moved into my new place by 1pm. Jeremy and Alex were spectacularly efficient, personable, and fun guys to be around. I have never hired movers before but I don't see how this could have any better.

In early August, I moved from a studio apartment on the 3rd floor of a walk-up to a 1 bedroom on the first floor of a building a few blocks away. The bed and a few other large pieces were already in the new place so the largest items were a futon frame and mattress, dresser, a 2-pie e desk, and a book case plus I had a number of boxes, but all were well packed. It took 3 hours (actually, it took 2 hrs and 45 minutes because it took them 15 minutes to get to my place, but I was charged for a full 3.) The previous year I used a different company moving from a 3rd floor walk-up 1 bedroom to that 3rd floor studio with almost all the same stuff (I didn't have the futon and mattress yet). I had two guys and it took them the same amount of time and cost less money. Also, weird thing. One of the guys asked to use my restroom right away when they arrived at the first place and was in there for about 10 minutes (glad I left spray and t.p.). Once we got to the new apartment, he did the exact same thing (unfortunately, no spray). Overall, the move went smoothly with a rip in my futon being the only "damage". The movers were all courteous and hard-working. However, I'd go with the company I hired the first time in the future. read more

I just used Matt's Moving for my move from one apartment building in Uptown to another and they were fantastic! I did a ton of research on moving companies several months prior to my move and Matt's Moving had the best reviews and were priced comparably - maybe a tiiiiiny bit on the higher side - to other moving companies in Minneapolis. I spoke with someone on the phone and went through my inventory list and they quoted me for a 3 man crew because they had to get my furniture down from my lofted room (a traditional move for one person from one apartment to another would probably be a 2 man crew, AKA cheaper). They called me a few days before to confirm and the guys were on time, very nice, polite, efficient, and careful with all of my furniture. They wrapped everything in blankets/tarps so nothing would get damaged. (I had a friend who used College Muscle Movers and a ton of her furniture ended up getting scratched up, but nothing like that happened to me!) In total my move took 2.5 hours from them arriving to my first apartment, loading everything on the truck, driving over to my new apartment, and bringing everything in. Note that you have to fully pack yourself up before they arrive! For the 3 man crew there was a $150 flat trip charge and then it was $200/hr from there with a 2 hour minimum. I liked that they were honest about their pricing from the beginning and that the $150 was a flat charge and not a charge based on the initial time or distance. The only thing that went wrong was a box fell over when they were unloading the truck and my full-length mirror shattered. They didn't say anything about replacing it or reimbursing me for the cost which I thought was odd. All in all I had a great experience with Matt's Moving and would definitely use them again! read more

I had a really stressful move - I found out I was leaving Chicago for Minneapolis while I was spending two months teaching at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor (i know, right?!) I had to arrange for everything from a distance for the move, and Matt's was the final piece of the puzzle. They were great! I called about two weeks ahead of time, and they gave me a reasonable estimate, window of time for the moving, and it was very easy. They were also very understanding about my need to pay in cash the day of the move. Day of the move: they called ahead, and even came 20 minutes early because the team of two guys had finished their first job early. They worked fast and efficiently, and were incredibly friendly. The price they charged me for the move was what they quoted me, and literally half what I paid to get the same amount of stuff moved out of Chicago. The head mover (I can't remember his name, but he was so so so nice) set up my bed for me, which was unbelievably helpful since I moved by myself. I found Matt's on Yelp and all the glowing reviews are accurate! Now back to unpacking.... read more

Recently hired Matts to move me out of my condo, into storage for two months and then into my new townhouse. Overall it was a great experience. They were nice, efficient and thoughtful. Nothing was broke or missing. While it wasn't cheap - I was happy to have Matt's handle all of the heavy furniture. My issue came on delivery day - I was told they would deliver between 11am and 4pm and they would call in the AM with a more focused delivery time. They didn't call - i had to call them, three times. They ended up arriving a little after 2pm, so in their allotted window - but with no ETA, it was a bit nerve wrecking waiting and watching for the truck to arrive. read more

Remember moving in and out of dorm rooms in college? I. HATED. IT! At the end of the year, I would just chuck half of the crap I bought nine months ago. I have even tried to repurpose some of the STUPID decor - fail. And now that I'm a grown up, I have spent more money on making my apartment liveable - ahem ahem, no more futons, no midge the fridge, and no more brightly-colored comforter that matches everything else in the sardine can. So, naturally, when we bought a house, I wanted a trusty company that wouldn't chuck my shat around like I would have. Aaaaand, now that I'm a little bit older, my joints don't bend or recover as well (same can be said about my drinking abilities). After calling tons of companies, getting multiple quotes, looking at U-haul, and perusing Craigslist, I stumbled over my moving boxes and onto Matt's Moving. Very professional, very quick, and very friendly. Sue and Matt both called me and Sue listened to me ramble off about how much stuff my 700 sq ft apartment had accumulated in a year. On moving day, two guys showed up in a HUGE moving truck... on time! They loaded the first place in about 35 minutes and drove off the second pick up place. Although there was a lot more than expected (again, not sure how I accumulated so much shhhh.. tuff in two months), they worked quickly. The fiance had to help a little, but we (moreso me since I was sitting in my office at work) didn't mind because they got done in under three hours. My final bill was worth EVERY. SINGLE. PENNY! Not to mention, they were actually really affordable knowing that they provided at 26' truck! And yeah, other companies may charge less or you may think, "I can just rent a truck and get some friends of mine," but the money you "save" by the taking the alternate route (no pun intended) will cost you more in the end when you have to pay for: a truck, food for the gang, and Bengay, Salonpas (which actually work well!), and any type of topical oitment to help aches and pains! read more
