Family owned and operated for 30 years! We provide moving and storage solutions to homeowners, renters, builders, and businesses. We also offer packing and unpacking, and customize services to meet your needs.
"Quality Moving was great from start to finish. They asked good questions to understand the scope of the work and come prepared, they confirmed the work a few days before, and they arrived promptly. Dylan and Bryce were extremely pleasant, handled all the furniture with great care with good wrapping, and worked hard. We would definitely used them again!"

"Walls have were gouge into the drywall. Our hardwood floors were scratched and I had to ask the movers to put down a runner. We were quoted 4 hours and the move took 12. We were charged double. I was told that once a change order was submitted for additional time needed and a new cost I would be contacted to get the ok. We were quoted 4 hours and the move took 12 hours. Our estimate more than doubled. I understand that it was a big move but no one ever called me to inform me of the change in costs. 3 movers spent 1 hour trying to put back a door that was taken off to get furniture through."

I, Pete Lovell, started Veteran Movers LLC after working for other companies for nearly 12 years.I then decided it was time to start my own company. Using the tools I learned, hearing from customers what they felt was liked and what frustrated them about moving companies.For instance, getting an inaccurate estimate, showing up to the job late due to overbooking, treating personal belongings poorly. I started the business with my tax return in 2012. I decided we, one other mover and I, we're going to do the best job possible, offering people honest estimates and kind consideration regardless if it didn't always get us the job. I understand that moving is one of the most stressful times in a persons life. We take pride and compassion in every move we do. Remaining honest and true in our beliefs. As a proud veteran of the United States Army, serving 1991-1999 I named the company Veteran Movers. I also offer veterans preferred opportunity to join our team and i guarantee there will be at least 10 years of experience on every job . We are proud to offer 20% discount to fellow veterans and there families. We only service the state of Minnesota and immediate border cities only. Thanks in advance for considering Veteran Movers, LLC. Pete Lovell
"They did well.... very nice and helpful guys."

Long Distance Moving & Storage. Household, Commercial, International, Corporate services available. Our Mission is To exceed expectations on every move. We live this day in and day out. Our service is top notch and fully efficient. Our trucks are perfectly equipped for moving with Pads, dollies, Plastic and much more. We provide Long Distance Moves across the entire country, directly from our West Coast HUBS located in AZ, CA, OR and WA. Or, we team with our partner companies to complete moves together. We are proud to provide a service that no other company offers; Dedicated Trucks. This means that your belongings are loaded on the truck and not combined with anyone else’s items (from/to west coast only). They are not transferred to other trucks or facilities in route which causes damage and loss of items (typical with van lines). We have a set loading day and unloading day. This is by far the safest way to ship. Our interstate rates are per 24ft moving van that holds up to 8,500lbs or 1400CuFt. Some customers require one truck and some require more. One truck holds the average 1800SqFt.
"I cannot say enough great things about All Service Moving—and ESPECIALLY Rico and Reyes, who were absolute lifesavers for my last-minute move. After another moving company bailed on me the day before my scheduled move, All Service swooped in and saved the day. Rico and Reyes showed up EARLY, upbeat, and ready to tackle the challenge—even with super heavy furniture that usually requires a 4-person crew. Somehow, the two of them handled everything like pros without a single scratch or ding—on the furniture or either home. What really stood out was how personable, kind, and thoughtful they were. They moved quickly and efficiently, knowing I was paying by the hour, but never once sacrificed care or quality. They were kind to my mom (who was helping me out), and so sweet to my two dogs too. If you’re planning a move, ask for Rico and Reyes by name. They went above and beyond, and I want their team to know what a fantastic job they did. They deserve every bit of recognition. 100% recommend."

"DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. We provided adequate furniture pads and shrink wrap to hold it on our expensive furniture. What came out of the truck was a mess. We were moving cross-country and had a 26' truck to fill. At one point we stopped the two young men who were our packers and asked why the expensive headboard they were carrying into the truck wasn't wrapped. They said that they wrapped pieces when they got them in the truck. We went back to what we were doing and didn't feel as if we needed to monitor them. Bad call on our part. The unpackers on the other end stopped unpacking the truck when they came upon the problems, asking "Who the H**l packed this truck?" Examples: Deep gouges on a table top that was placed on its side between a metal garage shelf and a wrought iron patio table. The wrought iron patio table was placed on top of a delicate capiz shell side table--neither was wrapped. The top of my grandmother's rocker was SNAPPED OFF because it rode upside down for 12 hours stacked on a pile of equally unprotected furniture and the pivoting action snapped off the scrolled top of the back of the rocker. The base of another table was stacked on top of a filing cabinet. Leather kitchen chairs were stacked on top of each other with the legs poking into the leather seats. Truly an amateur packing job. At the beginning of the day my boyfriend inquired about their experience--one said he was new but had moved his cousin multiple times in the past year and the other said 6 months. I'm sad because I used Phil and Ted's when I moved to MN and had the exact opposite experience 5 years ago. When the damage was noted, the unpacking stopped and I photographed how the remainder of the truck was packed as well as the damaged items as they were brought out of the truck. I immediately called Jordan and left a voice mail that I needed an ASAP return phone call because of the damage and described what I knew about. Two days later, no call. Three days later, no call. I called and left another voice mail. Finally, five days after the original call I received a text message that I should text photos of the truck loaded by them and a photo of the truck before it was unloaded. When the truck was loaded and before it was unloaded we had absolutely NO idea what lay behind the items closest to the door so why would we photograph? I provided 23 photos of damaged items. I also alerted the credit card company I used to pay for the services. They contacted Jordan as well and did not reverse the charges as, although damages were incurred, the services were rendered. Jordan refuses to address the issues because he said it could not be determined if the damage was done by his crew or the unloading crew. Since the unloading crew stopped unloading when they found damaged items and we photographed the items before they moved any further, it's very clear the damage was caused by Phil & Ted's failure to adequately pad our belongings.

FAQs for moving projects in Monticello, MN
The financial equation depends largely on your furniture's quality and value. For inexpensive or heavily used items, purchasing replacements locally often costs less than paying shipping fees ranging from $800 to $3,000.
However, high-quality, custom, or sentimental pieces often justify shipping expenses. Compare your furniture's replacement value against shipping quotes to make an informed decision. Also consider environmental factors—reusing existing furniture creates less waste than buying new items.
Planning ahead for furniture shipping helps secure better rates and preferred scheduling. Book your shipping service several weeks before your desired delivery date to ensure availability and avoid rush charges.
Advance booking also provides time to arrange any special handling requirements, obtain appropriate insurance coverage, and prepare your furniture properly for transport. This foresight results in both lower costs and a smoother shipping experience.
For valuable furniture, standard carrier liability often provides insufficient protection. Consider full-value coverage that addresses actual replacement costs rather than basic weight-based compensation. Document your furniture's condition thoroughly with photographs before shipping, capturing any existing flaws or damage.
Review insurance policies carefully for exclusions related to improper packing or pre-existing conditions. Quality coverage provides peace of mind when shipping irreplaceable or high-value furniture pieces.
Proper preparation significantly reduces shipping damage risks. Begin by cleaning all furniture thoroughly and removing any detachable components like shelves, drawers, and hardware—store these items separately in labeled containers.
Protect wooden surfaces with appropriate protective materials and wrap furniture completely with moving blankets or bubble wrap, securing with stretch wrap rather than tape directly on surfaces. Document each piece's condition with detailed photographs before shipping as a reference for potential claims.
Document any damage immediately upon delivery, before signing acceptance paperwork. Take clear photographs showing the specific damage and note all issues on the delivery receipt, ensuring the delivery person acknowledges these notations. Contact the shipping company promptly to report the damage and begin the claims process according to their specific procedures. Retain all packaging materials until your claim is resolved, as these may be needed for inspection. Following the carrier's exact claim procedures improves your chances for a satisfactory resolution.
