Small Time Movers

Very well. minor issue....one picture glass broke.

The move went very smooth and would definately use them again.

Moving is miserable for everyone involved. And Charles, John and Tim seemed miserable by the end of the day, and even before. I don´t have anything to complain about. They moved our possessions and nothing was damaged. Some of the walls and drywall was nicked up, but that wasn't their fault. Some of our furniture simply would not get through the passageways. Other than that everything came out in good shape. He drove the truck very slowly and safely. My only gripe is price. We had a a lot of stuff, but not THAT much stuff. I really didn't think the whole process should have taken almost 9 hours. It was a mistake to agree to pay by the hour. The best way is to get a bid for the whole job up front. I thought that the workers took their time. I'm not criticizing them--I repeat they did a good job--but I'm pretty sure the process would have been speedier had they not been charging me by the hour. Also, a $75 fuel charge to move 5 miles?

They did the job. I say that as simply as that because they were not professional, careful or attentive. They gouged the floor in the new house and stood there in front of my daughter and laughed "OOPS", then they were surprised when I insisted they call the owner to report the incident, who, by the way, 17 days later,has NOT contacted me or returned any of my phone calls! They also broke the leg off my cedar chest and even though the two pieces were there in front of them, they didn't know anything about it? There were other incidents but I think you get the idea! Did they do a lot of work? H... YES Did they do it with a smile? NO Will I recommend they? H... NO

I have moved MANY times throughout my life, sometimes I did the work myself and other times I hired professional movers. Without a doubt, Chuck, Tim & John (The Small Time Crew that completed my move) were the best movers I have ever worked with. The excellent service from Small Time began before they even showed up at my door. We had several issues (problems with the new property and a death in the family) that caused us to have to reschedule our move 3 times. Small Time was understanding and always accommodating. The crew was actually about 20 minutes early arrive at my old home to begin the move. Once inside they were all business and moved at a quick pace. However even with that pace there was not a single bit of damage to either property or to any item that was moved, a first for me. This was not an easy move, as we weren't taking everything and the guys had some stuff to work around. Also, we weren't the most prepared and there were half full boxes and last minute items that had to be thrown on the truck. Nothing was a problem and the guys took care of every request I made. I was VERY impressed that the old was empty and the new house was full in only 5 hours (and that included a lunch break). If you are looking for movers in the East Tennessee area I HIGHLY recommend Small Time Movers (and I am a hard person to please).

Everything went very well from start to finish. This company very professional, friendly and knowledgeable in their profession.

First of all the positives: I would like to say that Small Time movers are extremely flexible, Due to a confusion on the closing date for our home, we had to reschedule atleast 3 times with less than 24 hour notice and they were extremely flexible and understanding. They were extremely punctual, they were not even a single minute late. They did a move an unloading for us when we moved from a different state, I like their quality so I wanted to hire them again, even though some of the competition is more competitive. Now to the negatives: The moving crew we got were extremely unprofessional and became a pain to deal with before the end of the night, they constantly nagged and complained about how heavy the boxes are when especially they were unloading. They were completely fine when they loaded them. They knew we are moving to a two story home, but were particularly angry when we asked them to carry the boxes upstairs. The guys had the nerve to ask us "WHY DOES THIS HAVE TO GO UPSTAIRS? THIS DOESN'T MAKE SENSE!!" They disassembled the bed and said they assembled it, but it kept crumbling apart on us after they left. We reassembled it after they left. They forgot to assemble a dresser and when reminded, they gave us a attitude. There was a trainee with them, who mostly was just standing and watching around most of the time, so at one time when we asked him for help shifting a dresser, he gave us an attitude saying "IS THAT YOUR FINAL ANSWER?" These are just some examples, but all evening we were just dealing with some angry moving crew. I am sorry, We are paying $95/hour for your services, if we want our furniture or boxes upstairs we want them upstairs. This is exactly why we hired you and paying you the big bucks. I used to be a travelling consultant and we have moved multiple times, but have not come across such poor show of professionalism. Small Time Movers have lost my business in the future.

Small Time movers is a family-owned business near Chattanooga, Tennessee. I was very pleased with the fact that they were willing to come up to West Knoxville (roughly 90 miles or so) to pick up this load. I also was pleased that it was going on a dedicated truck. (I had spoken with another local mover and it would have been combined on a truck that was going to Louisiana). They picked up on a Friday night and delivered near Pensacola the next morning. I thought that the price was certainly reasonable. They were careful and did a good job. I would definitely recommend them and would use them again.

Moving is tough and I was worried because if the mover is undependable, late, unprofessional, then moving becomes a nightmare. These guys were great. They were affordable, polite, professional and very careful with our items. Because their price was so reasonable, we tipped them at the end of the day. The owner then turned around and tipped $20 to both my 9 year old and 12 year old because I had told my kids to help move small things. It was a move to a two story home and these guys were very careful. There was one small scratch on a wall, going up the stairs (took me 3 minutes to fix)......only one scratch on a wall after moving an entire home??? I would highly recommend these guys.

I got them off Angie's List. I didn’t pay them; my daughter did. Their estimate was pretty much in line with the other estimates we got. They were fantastic and I would recommend using them.

We learned that our house had sold and we needed to move out five days before we left for vacation in Europe. I called Small Time Movers on Saturday and they had packers at my house the next day, on Sunday. Bill Thomas is amazing, and he is no "small-time" mover. His 38 years of experience, much of it driving for a major moving line really paid off for us. Our household would have filled an entire full size moving van. It included a complete wood shop filled with heavy machinery and was filled with150 year old delicate antiques. His packers were professional and knew how to protect stuff. Bill took care of everything with high efficiency and incredible hard work. He bends over backwards to please his customers. No need to look any further if you want the best, at a very fair price.

I found these guys on Angie's List. They helped move some items from one home to the other and unload our moving storage. We were still living out of state and they helped my father in law take care of everything. He had nothing but wonderful things to say! Great guys, great service! We'd use them again in a heartbeat :)

The team arrived at the house on time and ready to work. They had my initial their arrival time (they didn't charge for driving time!) and got to work assessing the move. After understanding the work they quickly started moving the furniture to the prescribed locations. They took great care with our belongings. I have unfortunately had to move many times and had to deal with some pretty bad movers. This crew was one of the best. They were extremely careful with all of the belongings and took care not to rub against walls or ding the furniture. They provided me their expert opinion on how things should be wrapped and packed. They did a great job working in the house while construction began. I was clearly impressed by their pricing. Local companies in the Knoxville area were charging double just to drive out to the house.

The guys were on time and ready to work. They came in and went at it straight away with no lingering or hanging out. They worked as a team and handled everything with care. I would definitely work with them again in the future.

Great move! Very courteous and professional. If I ever have to move again, I will definitely call again.

Very responsive, very flexible on dates a notice required, and worked hard the entire time. Highly recommended!

We have relocated to the Cleveland, TN area due to employment. The relocation company that handled our move hired Small Time Movers to come and unpack for us. Bill and Jerry arrived about 10:15 am and after a quick tour of the home they began work. They worked steadily with only a couple of short breaks until they finished at 6:30 pm. They did a great job unpacking! They also moved some boxes that had been put in the wrong room to the correct room and then unpacked them. They broke down all the boxes and took them and all the paper with them. They made our job of putting things away and getting settled into our home so much easier!

You couldn't ask for a better moving experience than the one you get with Small Time Movers! Bill and Deb are both professional and two of the nicest people you will ever meet! They do what they say they are going to do and they show up exactly on time. They are reasonably priced and care about the people's belongings that they are responsible for moving. This is the ONLY moving company I would ever use personally and the only company that my extended family now uses. Highly recommend!

Three very nice workers who worked continuously and billed only for time spent packing, loading and delivering; did not have to pay for their return trip time. Would definitely use them again.

The movers arrived right on time. There were 3 workers as promised. They worked hard the whole time. We have some nice newer furniture. They treated everything with lots of care. As far as I can tell, there wasn't any nicks or damage. Some of it was complicated to take apart and put back together. They took time and cared for everything. They were very respectful and helpful. They all had a good attitude. They put things where we wanted it. This is the third time we have moved in the past year and I would have to say this was the best experience we have had thus far.

On time! 3 men as promised. They were pleasant, respectful, and worked hard. They were professional and handled my possessions with care.

We moved a 2 bedroom apartment from one side of town to the other. The owner and 3 men arrived on time and began to pack our fragile glass lamps and other items. They wrapped all the furniture in blankets. They were professional, friendly and efficient. They moved very quickly which was difficult since the elevators in both apartments were not near the apartment itself. I would highly recommend this mover and I would definitely use them again.

Bill,Ed, Mike, Charles arrived 15 mins early and were raring to go. I was not really that excited. The day went by as best as it could for a move day. It started raining, it was the week of Thanksgiving, but all of these guys made it fun. They are fast movers. No one was slow or lazy. They seemed very happy to be moving me. (I hate moving! FYI) They brought boxes at no charge, did not charge me for any lunch or break time. The price and equipment was just as quoted over the phone. We finished about 7:00 at night. I asked them if they had a quitting time and I was told when everything is done. This is a very good company.

Very pleasant experience. I had concerns that my new hardwood floors would get damaged, but they were true professionals and nothing was damaged.

Best experience of the whole house-buying drama. They dropped off about 150 boxes 3 weeks before the move, and didn't charge me for the ones they were able to take back. On moving day They were there at 8:00 sharp as promised, laid down runners to protect the floors, worked very hard and fast, with very minimal breaks. They promised 3 men, and brought 4 at no extra charge. Everyone was very polite and professional. It was easy to see they knew what they were doing. Nothing was lost or broken...a first for me! It took them 10 hours and made 2 trips, with only 1 trip charge. If I ever move again (and I hope not) I would definitely use them.
