Men On the Move

Bad company. I thought I could trust them because I remember Michigan Movers from my days in Ann Arbor but if you do hire them make sure you check the truck before they leave. We had at least two expensive items and a mattress that never made it into our house. Owner took no responsibility and said we have no claim because we didn’t pay for additional insurance. We tipped them extra and bought them lunch before we realized — ugh how I regret calling this company!!!

They showed up early and got the job done relatively quick; however, after we signed off on all of the paper saying everything was good and they left we saw they had chipped one of the corners on our kitchen table in two places and placed clear packing tape on it in order to hide it. They also broke two of the supports holding the bed slats up. Definitely will not use them again.

BEWARE!!! MOM Livonia was the WORST moving experience of my life!
A better name for this bunch would have been «Movers and Breakers».
Three guys from this Livonia branch moved me a total of 2 miles in Ann Arbor on July 2, 2015.
They broke or damaged almost everything that wasn’t wrapped and they destroyed most of the walls they walked by in my new townhouse in downtown Ann Arbor.
The company claimed no responsibility. They gave me a small check for a wall sconce they couldn’t walk by without destroying. Horrible…

Brian and John were first of all punctual, which was very helpful as I had (in hindsight, regrettably) scheduled many things to occur on the day of my move-​in. Lucky for me, those guys were champs and emptied the contents of a 2bdrm apartment into their truck from a storage unit in about an hour, and proceeded to unload in the same amount of time into a new apartment. Kept all my possessions in good shape, and had a very agreeable attitude the entire time (even when moving some HEAVY couches and mattresses).
My guess with these moving companies is that the attitude and behavior of the dudes doing the move really influences the quality of the move — ask for Brian and John, they were champs!

Our experience was bad. Unfortunately I had to be out of town on moving day and the crew were the kind of guys who like to see women cry. They complained about the fridge being a hard type to move, and the inconvenience of having to move gym equipment (disassembled for them), and more. My wife being the helpful one, offered to order pizza for them, an offer the rudely dismissed. If that’s the kind of movers you are looking for these are your guys.

Just completed a move from a 2 floor, 5 bedroom house in Detroit to a 2 floor, 4 bedroom house in Sterling Heights. It was seamless.
They arrive exactly on time and then we did a grand tour of all the furniture and things that would go into the truck. Then the loading began. Along the way, we added multiple new things to be moved and they were able to make it all work.
Unloading at the new house was just as simple. They put the completely undamaged furniture wherever we asked them to (and we even changed our minds a couple times!). Very professional and honest billing. I’d recommend to anyone who is thinking about hiring movers. (Cheaper than two men & a truck, too!)

Men on the Move are my heroes! We moved from a house on one side of Ann Arbor to a house on the other side. We had hired a different moving company to move us on a Saturday. There was a scheduling mistake (with the other company) and they pushed us to Sunday, and then never showed up. Desperate, we called Men on the Move at 1 PM on Sunday. They managed to have a truck and 2 guys to our house by 2 PM. These guys weren’t even scheduled to work, and they came in anyway! Even though we had more stuff than they anticipated, they managed to get everything into the truck (safely wrapped and padded) in under 2 hours — and this was from a 3 bedroom house!
We moved into an older house with narrow doors and tricky staircases. The guys made it look easy. There were a few pieces of furniture that wouldn’t fit up or down the staircases, and they took the time to measure and examine the options, and then were honest with us about things not fitting, instead of trying to squeeze things and ruin the walls. I really appreciated that! Everything made it safely into the new house with no scratches or dings.
I honestly don’t know what we would have done without these guys. With no notice, they managed to pull off our move and avert absolute disaster. Although I never want to go through the headaches of moving again, if I do, I will certainly be calling Men on the Move!

Wonderful to deal with. I had a rather small moving job and they were super accommodating. The two guys they sent were fast and friendly. I was thrilled!
