This is a corporate move from MI to CA. It was all great on the packing day, guys showed up were quick and professional, until. The delivery window is 1 week from packing date + 3 weeks. It could be possible for us to get our household stuff 4 WEEK AFTER PACKING! We still had hope by then. And guess what, we called the driver and turned out he arrived the destination city with our stuff in less than a week after packing date. However, the moving manager still scheduled our delivery date on THE LAST DAY OF THE DELIVERY WINDOW, WHICH IS 4 WEEKS AFTER THE PACKING DATE.
It makes me wonder you guys are playing with the rules and neglecting customer feelings. *** If you have kids or pets, be prepared to sleep on the floor with air mattress in your new house/apartment, or pay for hotel rooms for AN ENTIRE MONTH. That would be fun. *** We tried to call, text, email, nobody responded. If you would like me to take this review back, simply reply to our emails or just answer the call!

This is a different review but I felt called to share it. I ran into the crew and I believe the owner of Palmers in NC yesterday. They were returning from moving customers up north and stopped for a rest. We were out for a quick bite to eat. We sat near one another and as we were leaving and saying goodbye to the wait staff, the gentleman from Palmers heard us mention where we were from. This turned into the most beautiful and authentic connection between four people.
I adored the interaction. But what I wanted to post was this. Who we are when nobody is looking MATTERS MOST. You can preach one thing to the crowds but live a very different value system behind the scenes. These two men were class acts, incredible personality but what was most present was their depth to integrity of their word, actions and thoughts. Along with their commitment to serving this world.
When we are trusting people with our belongings, keepsakes and special memories, their true character- well it matters. I would trust these men and refer them to the world. Truly left me smiling to see they way they showed up when nobody was looking.

Palmer had great communication, planning, and execution throughout the packing and delivery of our home. We moved 150 miles and Palmer made it feel like we moved across the city. They'll seamlessly take care of your needs!

We had a very monumental move with a lot of fine furniture, paintings, and sculptures. Terry wrapped each and everyone of them with great care and attention. He and his crew were prompt, courteous, and willing to please. They worked all day long and never even took a lunch. I can't recommend this team enough!
