Local Motion provided a useful, friendly estimate over the phone. After calling around, I decided to go with them based on a strong referral from a friend. Adam, my moving consultant, set up the move right away, answered my questions, and accepted a deposit for the move. On moving day, my movers hit a snag---their truck experienced technical problems mere blocks from the load location. They politely told me about the situation, rushed back to get a new truck, and were back downtown in about forty-five minutes. During the move, the movers were friendly and helpful---they allowed me to help where appropriate to cut down on load/unload time, and offered good suggestions to speed up the move. Overall, Local Motion's staff members were careful, polite, and a pleasure to move with. From my initial call for an estimate to my moving day, I received excellent service. I will definitely move with Local Motion again. Thank you!

The initial salesperson was helpful and prompt provided an estimate over the phone after conducting an interview. Based on the interview, we received an estimate of $1,100 using three movers and one truck. The movers (Anthony, Sam and Leonardo) were right on time at 8:30 AM. After the initial walk through, the team lead was concerned about things fitting on one truck, but said they would do their best to fit things on one truck. They did manage to fit things on one truck (which was good) but they worked very hard to do so. They worked nearly nonstop until almost 7:30 PM. The consensus was that our move probably should been a five person/two truck move (based on our final bill being 40% above the estimate and taking 10.5 hours versus six hours). The cost would have been the same, it just would have taken less time and our team of three guys would not have had to work nonstop for almost 11 hours. But it was what it was, and overall things went well.

The planned 3-hour move took over 7 hours. Not once did Bob and Nick lose patience. To the contrary, they were understanding, efficient, and extremely pleasant. Nothing broke.

There was a huge mix up with the storage facility and the crew was willing to come back several hours later to do the loading. This was above and beyond excellent service. Crew was courteous, efficient and careful. The only thing I was a bit disappointed about was having 3 men show up (and the resulting increase in cost) when the initial quote was for two men for approximately two hours. However, the overall time might have been longer with only two movers so I don't know if the final cost would have evened out.

The office people contacted us with a quote and then reminded us the day before the move that the trucks would show up on time. The team arrived as promised and got to work. The work was completed ahead of schedule. The whole team then went to the second location and loaded a truck there before lunch. After lunch the team came to our new house and unloaded everything carefully and made sure we were happy with the placement. All the work was performed carefully and calmly.

The initial sales person was very friendly and helpful. We received an email confirmation of our move date/time and other details. The movers were on time, extremely nice and professional. They were very fast and did whatever we requested. If they were ever empty handed, they actually ran to and from the truck!

We moved out of our home of 21 years into a beautiful old home in South Minneapolis. We were fairly well packed and organized, and the Local Motion loaner boxes and moving suggestions really helped us be ready. The guys arrived on time, were friendly and very competent. In addition, Leo, in the front office is great to deal with on picking up boxes and supplies. I would say the Local Motion crew went ''above and beyond.'' We will refer others!

Adam Hall was most cordial when I called. At first, the sale of my house fell through, but they said they would hold my deposit until I moved which they did. The move went very smoothly. The movers were very helpful. The company had been recommended by my realtor and exceeded my expectations.

After seeing that so many of Local Motions customers complained that the cost was so much higher than the estimate, I asked them to come for an in-person estimate so that we wouldn't get stuck with a much higher bill like other people. The person on the phone repeatedly insisted that phone estimates worked much better, that they did not need to come in person. When I brought up the fact that such a high percentage of past customers were charged much more than what they were told, his response was that most customers are inaccurate or lie about how much stuff they have. I asked him why they won't just come out to see how much is here so that it would eliminate any confusion, but he insisted that phone estimates work just fine. It's clear that it works so well for them because they are able to underbid the competition initially, and then jack up the price after the fact with no liability. Why was this company given an Angie's List Award when they have such shotty business practices?

They were on time and worked very hard for almost seven hours with only a 15 minute break. They protected the carpets and furniture for the move, and got everything in the one truck that they estimated was needed. The three movers were very polite, had a good sense of humor, and were very accommodating to my requests. I couldn't be happier with their work and the actual price was within $50 of the estimate. I got estimates from three movers (all highly rated on Angie's List) and their estimates were almost identical. I'd recommend Local Motion to anyone.

The packing and moving crews both arrived on time and were courteous and professional. Packing went pretty much as planned. The move however, took hours longer than they had said. The last items were just dumped in the garage, and they didn't get everything from the old house. We had to make 12 trips with cars the next day to get part of the remainder, and Local Motion sent out another truck and crew the following day. While the actual bill for the packing was 15% over the estimate, the final bill for the move was $1,100 higher than their estimate (96% over). It took the management of Local Motion several days to respond to our phone calls. The salesman tried to blame us for the missed estimate, essentially accusing us of lying about the amount of our stuff. Local Motion agreed to refund $220 to us three weeks ago (the charge for the later truck and crew), but we have received nothing.

I left two messages before the move about how the street resurfacing by our home would affect loading. Neither call was returned & movers were not informed. As a result, the billed me 20 extra minutes to park the truck. Mover's performance was, at best, average & not very professional. They often used crude language loud enough to be heard by neighbors and worked at an average pace. The bill was padded by an hour for extra long lunch and redoing paperwork. After several contacts with company and a month of waiting, Local Motion finally refunded an hour's charge.

I was very pleasantly surprised with my move as performed by Local Motion. The movers (Chris & John) showed up on time, and were very friendly and accommodating. They were professional and organized in their approach. They were very flexible with requests. I saw them actually running on several occasions. They juggled heavy items with ease. I highly recommend this company. I do not think I will ever move myself via rental trucks anymore. What they moved in four hours(one hour drive included) would have taken me all weekend with friends and moving trucks.

The crew that came out did a really good job. They were professional, fun and concerned about my property and flooring. The cost for the work came in below the quote which was a nice surprise. I only wish that the company could have given a specific time for afternoon jobs. I was given a time frame, similar to the cable company, as to when the movers would come. This made it difficult to plan for the day. Overall though the service was great!

Generally, we were very pleased with Local Motion, particularly the 5-man crew. The crew was very courteous, helpful & cautious. The movers brought plenty of runners to protect flooring and pads to wrap around doorways and railings. They took a little longer than anticipated, but I never saw any loafing - each crew member always worked hard. Two disappointing aspects of our experience, however, both of which stem from one problem with LM's practice. First, as mentioned above, the movers took longer than anticipated, so we paid approx. $300-400 more than estimated. Second, and worse, was that the crew showed up with two trucks, one slightly smaller than the other. As a result, they weren't able to move all of our belongings, requiring us to handle about 4 vanloads on our own. The movers indicated that if they had two of the larger trucks, they could have covered all our stuff. LM does over-the-phone estimates; we believe an on-site est. Might have been more effective.

THEY WERE AWESOME ABOUT BEING REALLY FAST. THEY WOULD RUN FROM THE HOUSE TO THE TRUCK. THEY CHARGE BY THE HOUR SO THEY WERE GOOD ABOUT USING THEIR TIME WISELY. THEY WERE REALLY GREAT, BUT I DID FEEL LIKE IT WAS A BURDEN FOR THEM TO TAKE SOME ADDITIONAL THINGS, BUT I WOULD DEFINITELY USE THEM AGAIN.

NOT AS GOOD AS EVERYBODY HAD DESCRIBED. THEY ARRIVED A LITTLE LATE BUT ''ROUNDED'' STARTING TIME TO THE PREVIOUS HALF HOUR. THE MOVERS WERE YOUNGER AND MORE INEXPERIENCED THAN I EXPECTED. VERY PLEASANT AND NICE. 2 TRUCKS. 6 MEN. MY MAIN PROBLEM WITH THEM IS THAT WHEN THEY LOADED THE TRUCKS AND THEN WENT TO THE NEW LOCATION THEY ARRIVED ONE HOUR AND 15 MINUTES LATER. ON THE FINAL BILL IT SAID 45 MIN FOR LUNCH. I DISPUTED THIS IN PERSON AND WAS TOLD NO 45 MINUTES. MY HUSBAND AND I AGREE THAT WE ARE NOT MISTAKEN ABOUT THIS. I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT AND AM WAITING TO HEAR. I WAS ASKED TO FILL IN A REPORT WHEN I WAS EXHAUSTED. LATER I FOUND MANY CLEARLY MARKED BOXES IN THE WRONG ROOMS. I THEN HAD TO MOVE THEM MYSELF. I ALSO FOUND HOUSEHOLD ITEMS LEFT IN THE GARAGE. TOO MUCH STUFF LEFT AT THE FIRST HOUSE THAT I HAD TO GO BACK AND GET MYSELF. WE RENTED A VAN FROM U-HAUL TO GET THE EXTRAS. IT WAS A LONG HARD MOVE, BUT WE EXPECTED MORE. BEFORE WE FOUND ALL THE ERRORS WE TIPPED THEM $50. EACH.
