We used this company to move some of our larger furniture and because they said they move piano's. So on our moving day they show up with a truck with a long ramp. We mentioned that they are moving a piano and they said they brought the wrong truck so they would have to have someone come with another truck. They clearly were not prepared to move our piano. They had no piano moving equipment and the wrong truck. Fortunately we had our own company truck with a lift gate so we used our truck to move the piano.

Dan we walked the yard and was not safe to to move a piano around the house it was totally too soft and mushy to safely move it for our men and also your piano sorry for the inconvenience but safety is our first priority.

Every time we have moved, I have been pregnant which led us to hire movers. I have my experience with movers, trust me. These guys were kind, professional and thought we had a great crew. We did not meet these movers at our storage locker, since they simply had to pack up their truck. Unfortunately as soon as they left our home we have continued to find nothing but broken, damaged items.

I would NEVER recommend City Moving and Storage. They claim to be dependable but they were the complete opposite. We had a contract well ahead of time for movers to show up at 8 am as we were due to be out of our house by noon. Several times we called when they didn't show up and got nothing but an answering machine. Then when they finally answered they said they were under staffed and would try too make it by 11:00. They finally arrived at 11:20 with 3 men.

I don't know if it was the crew we had or what, but we did not have the experience that most people had on here. It lead mover was nice, bit poorly communicated problems as they were happening. The truck sent to the house was to small to move us the same day, so we had to have a second trip the following day. We had to ask multiple times to get the information that the move would not be completed as scheduled, rather than being told as soon as they knew.

Worst experience ever! The movers were friendly and everything was good at the start until I got home and started unpacking and saw a crack on my HP monitor and bed bugs in a couple of my boxes. I complained to Bob the owner first he tried saying that he couldn’t find me in their system after I listed the guys who did the move for us he then asked was the monitor in a box I said yes he proceed to say no mover company would cover any broken items in boxes (what a joke).
Reply from the business

I received a text from the customer about a monitor issue and a bug issue threatening to leave a bad review. I called to get the info on the 2 issues, stating a monitor was broken and that she had adult bugs she could see with her eyes in her boxes, I spoke to the crew that performed the move and…

Poor over hour and half late supposed to be 3 guy was only 2. One smelt of alcohol. They got told can't go all the way up the driveway the fail to listen and was in the work order they couldn't. As the hit my trees in the yard the guy tells me he doesn't care about the trees. No I care about my trees. Talk to them on the phone they were Unprofessional. Unfortunately Google made me give them a star. They do not deserve that. Run stay away from this company. No was not a divorce deal.

Divorce situation! The ex wife being the one who hired us, not Ken.The crew arrived at residence to being screamed and cursed at by the ex husband, crew decided to be professional and leave no tree's or property were ever in jeopardy of any damage.

This was a bad experience. Managements reply to my review is mostly false. Yes the minimum fee was waived when we booked with them due to us not needing more than 2 hours & to my being disabled. However, we did NOT ask for the movers to arrive w/o equipment! We had our own truck so needed movers & equipment to unload. They didn't discount DURING the move. They only refunded $50 AFTER my contacting them via email asking for some sort of action due to the poor service we received.

This was booked with the mother who said she was elderly and had a handicapped daughter , she needed labor only no truck no equipment just unload into the residence. I sent 2 men to assist in unloading there pre loaded vehicle and waived a trip fee to help with her costs seeing the situation there…

I had a move scheduled for March 27, 2026, and the company canceled because of the unavailability of a lift gate truck. They were provided with all the information and pictures to make a judgment to take my business, which they did. Come to find out less than 24 hours before the scheduled move, they abruptly cancelled. What’s concerning is the lack of notice. It’s unclear when they became aware of the issue, but I was not given sufficient time to make alternative arrangements without disruption.
Reply from the business

We called the day before and explained that we did not have a large enough lift gate to safely move your large commercial refrigeration unit. As soon as operations saw the picture of the commercial unit we called and let them know we did not have the equipment to load and unload the unit safely.

5-star Google reviewTiffany S.2 years ago
City Moving and Storage provided an exceptional moving experience. I highly recommend them. They facilitated our move from the south metro area to the Brainerd Lakes Area, even accommodating a couple of days between closings by storing our belongings. Bob and Bree were wonderful to work with for coordinating the pick-up, deliveries, and confirming timings – both were knowledgeable and friendly. The deposit process was straightforward and reasonably priced.

We used this company in Aug of 2023 for a move. The owner was great about communicating with us before the move. rates were reasonable and deposit was very reasonable. The movers were on time and did a great job. VERY satisfied with this company. Its not often in todays economy that you can get good service at a good price! Thank you so much! Will definitely use this company again AND recommend them to friends and family!

I used CMS moving for a recent move from the city to the suburbs. I had great communication from the team following my request for a quote and through the process and was happy with the service overall. Pro: Fast communication and response time on the quote and finalzing the deal, team that came (Jermaine, De'Andre, plus one more) showed up right on time, was professional and friendly, worked hard and quickly, ensured everything was packed up, took a few things apart and put them back together without issues…

CMS helped me out with a mass change in moving. I got sick. My whole family got sick and we couldn’t pull it together ourselves moving. CMS jumped right in and sent me a team of 5 who all worked hard, diligently and impressively. I had a lot, and I mean A LOT of stuff! And a buyer of my home that was being an absolute nightmare. CMS took the major pressure off me and helped me get out of that home and into my new one. Their lead was impressively professional, kind and courteous.
