Palmer Moving Services

Since 1910, Palmer Moving Services has recognized that quality is essential, value is the measure and the customer comes first. Integrity, family and an unrelenting commitment for delivering quality service are the fundamental values that have guided our business and are the foundation for our success. Today, almost 100 years later, the Palmer Family and the employees of Palmer continue to build on that foundation. Each day, the commitment to meet the transportation and relocation needs of our clients continues.

As you may be aware, many people throw out a good deal of "stuff" when they move. Unfortunately, a lot of this "stuff" is food that could be delivered to a family in need rather than thrown away. That's where Palmer Moving Services partnership with Move for Hunger comes in. To date, Move for Hunger has delivered more than 9,700,00 pounds of food to food banks across United States & Canada. These food donations account for more than 8,000,000 meals for people in need.

In 1998, Palmer Moving became the first mover in Michigan to receive ISO 9002 certification. What does that mean?

Palmer coordinates over 2,500 inbound and outbound international moves a year making us one of the largest international booker earning the title: International Mover of the Year several years in a row!

We specialize in the transport of household and commercial goods with efficiency - whether you are in need of a local, long distance or international move.

The city of Detroit boasts nearly one million residents, and the Metro Detroit area encompasses nearly 5 million residents that we provide services to as Detroit movers. Detroit is renowned as the automotive center of the world, with a diverse culture, history and atmosphere.

If we think about the entire process from having to have our home ready for prospective buyers for a year, selling our home, packing to move and for the estate sale, the problems with the closing that was delayed for almost 2 weeks on a day by day basis, and the 5 hour closing ordeal when the title company and the lender didn't agree on some of the new federal government terms, it was a move from hell. The only good thing about it was the friendliness, helpfulness and professionalism of the people from Palmer Moving Services both before the move and when we actually did finally move.

If you have a speciality vehicle that needs moved, we can help. Palmer Moving Services can help you move almost any vehicle from point A to point B almost anywhere in the world. Whether you need to move an ATV, relocate your boat, or take your snowmobile to higher elevations, talk to us to learn how we can help.

We load your vehicles onto the moving trailer using split ramps, the same methods automobile manufacturers use to secure automobiles for open-trailer transport, including tie-downs on corners and ratchet-strapping to the floor. To ensure safe transport, we disconnect the car's battery while the vehicle is being transported. We maximize all the available moving space by using decking above the car to protect it and provide space for other household goods you are moving. This approach maximizes the space in and around the vehicle for better moving efficiencies.

Office moves make up a large part of our business. In fact, we are one of Detroit's largest and busiest office movers. Our clients include major automotive companies and hospital facilities throughout Southeastern Michigan. It depends on the length of the move. For local moves, we charge an hourly rate based on the length of time it takes to complete the move. For long distance moves, we charge by mileage and the weight of the items being moved, and any additional services you may require. This is entirely up to you.
