In their own words
I strongly advise … do NOT use this company. This company has deceptive practices. We lost thousands of dollars because they required that we overpay for our goods or they would not unload. They required that we pay for 2 days and shuttle trucks. They were done in one day and did not need shuttle trucks. They brought the ramp with our main van right up to the front door. We were stuck. They cornered us with this required payment in advance … saying they would refund the additional thousands of dollars of charges.
V H, I'm truly sorry to hear about your experience. We take complaints seriously and would like to discuss this matter further to address and resolve your concerns. Please contact us directly so we can make things right.
We used Liedkie Moving Co. in March 2021. They are the worst moving company we ever had, and we have moved many times. I would give them no stars but it is not an option in this review. 1- They canceled on us 3 days before moving date. They said to make it up to us they will pack for us and keep our stuff in their storage at a discounted price. At this point we did not have any choice other than taking whatever they could offer us.
This moving van in front of my house ALL afternoon today, in my handicap space. I tried to talk to him and asked him to please not park in my HANDICAP SPACE. He would not move, even though he had clear parking on other parts of the street. He told me the parking cop down the street had told him that he could park there ( which was a lie ). When parking enforcement came out, this moving van was given a 255.00 ticket. The driver still did not care to move.
Could not be more disappointed with Liedkie. In May of 2026, I hired them to move a bed, piano, deck set, and a grandfather clock 5 miles to a local storage facility. My 40 year old grandfather clock WAS in absolutely perfect condition. To prepare the clock for the move ALL Liedkie did was tape a small piece of cardboard around the clock door (NO moving blankets were used). They then DROPPED the clock as they were moving it onto their truck ... completely smashing the woodwork on the top of the clock.
I have used this moving company in the past to move from my apartment to a storage unit. The guys that came to do that were awesome. When I rescheduled them for the second time to move me from the storage unit to the apartment. It wasn't a great experience I had to listen to the guys tell me how they don't make a lot of money and they really depend depending on the tips. It's like they were pressuring me to tip them. I don't like that at all.
This company promised me the best of the best. No hassles, insurance coverage, they will take care of my property as it was all brand new and they knew it. I took pictures of everything as they were moving everything on my truck it was all …
We did a local move with Liedke. Overall a very bad experience. So many phone calls not returned, promises not kept. The movers damaged our elliptical and it took 20+ calls and emails and 6 months to finally get it fixed. Because they …
Well my apartment was ordered to vacate. Dss put my stuff in storage here and somehow my important things were lost. I don’t understand how you could misplace bags and boxes. …

In their own words
I own a moving company in a different area and recently hired Liedkie Moving & Storage to handle a local project for me — and the experience was fantastic from start to finish. The office staff was incredibly helpful and flexible during the planning process, which I really appreciated given the unique nature of the job. The crew arrived early, came ready to work, and handled everything with efficiency and professionalism.
As first time homebuyers, there are a lot of stressors in trying to navigate the closing process and learning all of the aspects that are a part of owning a home with moving being a piece in the puzzle. That said, although we were apprehensive at first to get movers, we are so glad that we did! From the great communication when we originally reached out to get an estimate to the virtual move video call to show the teams ahead of time what the move involved to the actual move - we were very satisfied with this…
Anthony (sales) and Mike and his moving team went above and beyond to accommodate our move. Anyone who has moved knows the pressure, uncertainty and anxiety that comes with it. Liedkie Moving & Storage was easy to work with during such a hectic time and exceeded my expectations. Would highly recommend them!
I would highly recommend Liedkie Movers. They recently moved my sister into an Assisted Living Facility. The Team was very respectful of the situation, and also very efficient, while keeping the mood light. The manager, Anthony, was a pleasure to work with. BWA
