Moving Company Review
Company: Greater Michigan Movers, LLC
Grade: F
City: Battle Creek
Update: Not that long ago the owner of Greater Michigan Movers (Mike Kuzma) home was raided by the police and his personal computer confiscated because it was filled with child porn.
Remember, it is not only your possessions you have to protect but your family and children. Letting unsavory people know where you live may not be the best practice.
I personally think that my moving company, U-Save Moving, is the best. But in life there comes along someone that is always better. In the case of Greater Michigan Movers, LLC I think this company deserves much acclaim. Are they better than us? NO! Of course you may take that with a grain of salt as I am biased. Do I want to applaud this company? No, never. Do I have to? Karma dictates that I do. As I grit my teeth and smile fakely, here is their review:
Greater Michigan Movers, LLC is based out of Battle Creek. I believe one of the few moving companies that will actually admit that. They are not centrally placed. In fact, unless I lived in that area I would not be hiring them to do moves for me. This is not a criticism as much as it is a fact. I would not recommend these movers to move someone in Detroit, Flint or Ann Arbor. But if you lived in Kzoo, Battle Creek, Jackson or even Grand Rapids then yes; look them up.
I do have to fault them on one critical point. They seem angry. If you read their Craigslist ads what you will read is them bagging on everyone else instead of telling people what they are good at, which is moving people. My opinion is they spend far too much time on the negative than they do on the positive. Advertise on Craigslist, by all means, but leave the negative postings out of your advertising. Of course, you should warn people of bad movers, and what to look out for, but to revel in it…
This company does advertise on Craigslist, which I am sure gets them a lot of business. I only see them advertise in the Kalamazoo area. They do have a website which you may go to. It’s not a great site, but it does succinctly detail what they are about and what they do. They are also listed in the Yellowpages for their area. This is a great sign as scam companies will not be listed anywhere else but the internet. This company is easily viewable.
They are not a member of the BBB. This is not a good sign as they have been in business for long enough to qualify. Based on information by the BBB they have been requested to provide information to the BBB but have failed to do so. I don’t know the reason for this, but it is a bad indicator. They do not have a rating with the BBB, neither good or bad. However, they have had a couple of complaints levied against them. One was handled, the other was not.
They are licensed and insured, but they are not bonded like they claim. A slight lie, but a lie none the less. Per the State of Michigan data on them they have not had any problems with their licensing or insurance. Their insurance is standard insurance and nothing special.
I cannot find any bad comments on them in any of the third party consumer advocacy groups. This is good, because if they did have comments in those then you can rest assured they are really a bad mover. All moving (all companies) will eventually not please someone. Only having two complaints with the BBB is not bad at all.
I feel that if you were to use this company that you would experience a pleasant move and that for the most part it would be problem free. And if a problem did exist, then from what I researched they would make every effort to handle it. So use this company with confidence.
