The NASMM Staff is responsible for association management and operations, as well as membership management, program and service development and implementation.

NASMM Welcomes New Industry Partner — MiniMoves!
Sending one or two pieces of furniture state-to-state can be a real challenge...unless you know about MiniMoves! For twenty-five years, we have been America's only licensed, nationwide moving company with an exclusive focus on small shipments; a piece or two, a room of furniture or the contents of a one or two bedroom condo or apartment. At MiniMoves, there's no minimum weight or shipment size.

We provide all of the services typically associated with traditional van lines but with a unique focus on small shipments. Our full-service moves include a detailed inventory, inside pickup, inside delivery and furniture arranging in the room of choice. Every piece of furniture is complete covered in cloth moving pads before leaving the room. Those pads stay on the furniture until final delivery. Our movers use small trucks that easily get in-and-out of apartment complexes and retirement communities.

Each MiniMove starts with thoughtful interaction with one of our moving counselors and a convenient over-the-phone price quote. Our service menu includes many options like packing for fragile items and personal effects, crating of fine art or servicing of Grandfather clocks. MiniMoves can even ship your car. We bind our price quote so customers can make their decision with confidence. Our claims rate has been under 6% for the last 10 years. Our on-time record is 98%. All we do is small moves and we to them better than anyone.

Call 800-300-6683 (MOVE) or write to estimators@minimoves.com to plan your MiniMove.
