CityWide moved me from a 2 story 4 bedroom house, provided storage for 2 weeks then moved me into my new house. All services excellent. My experience with booking the move and the 2 moves went perfectly. I had no issues with anything. The movers were very professional and wrapped all my furniture with care. I would recommend them.

Every step of the process was smooth, from scheduling in advance, to the day of the move. The three men put down some kind of blue cloth rug to protect our floors and carpets. Moved all furniture and boxes. Loaded at townhouse and unloaded at new house. They took care with fragile items. Nothing was broken or damaged. All was done within the expected time frame, and right on in terms of estimated cost. They charged per hour. We took advantage of the $35 coupon on Angie's List. Ww would definitely recommend them and use them again.

| Their team of five men and two trucks arrived punctually. The men were polite and very nice, The move was completed in 8 hours. It seemed that speed rather than quality was their goal. The person who introduced himself as the crew leader was not visible during the unloading phase. There did not seem to be any coordination. The result was mass confusion. Example; "A sliding door to the deck (removed for no apparent reason as it is 12 feet off the ground was not replaced) This was fixed within hours. Other problems were less visible immediately. The company has been willing, but unhurried and unsuccessful in the resolutions of some of these problems. I opted to use Citywide because the advertise themselves as expert piano movers. The pedal harp waspartially The result is that this move and its lingering problems has lasted for a month. I expect someone tomorrow to hopefully repair the piano. Another very small, but important item (a broken foot on a bed frame, was repaired - glued - but broke again when I made the bed} Some items were missing ie 4 cabinet shelves. Not a big deal in itself, except that I was unable to put items away. After three weeks I had new shelves made, Which cost me materials and a carpenter for a day. That was the day they "fixed" the bed . Unfortunately it didn"t stay fixed. s There seems to be a lack of follow through within the office, also between the crew((s) they finally send out to repair, what they say they are going to report, i.e.that you need a piano person to repair this problem and we see it, but we can't fix it. You will hear from us today. . .but you don't. 5 days later the office knows nothing about the problem that has? been reported, to who? Is it the crew or the office? . This is extremely frustrating and time consuming when you have a legitimate problem. Their business is moving. Mine is not. My goal was to be moved efficiently and with the least number of problems. Accidents happen. But I expected them to be acknowledged, addressed promptly and resolved. competently. After prodding I've gotten their attention, and two misunderstandings were resolved. However, the process has been lengthened because of this problem. But I think that a month is long enough to expect that issues are resolved.

We appreciate every review on Angie’s List from our customers. We work very hard to correct any issues that may arise during or after a move. The crew leader is assigned to stay on the truck to load the furniture at the origin address and to unwrap and break down the load at the destination; in turn the additional movers are then able to move the furniture more quickly. Local moves are charged strictly by the hour and doors are removed if a piece of furniture will not fit through it without dis-assembly, which eliminates additional time/cost for the customer. We pride ourselves on the quality of our moves therefore we utilize our time to complete each move efficiently. Our reputation for moving pianos speaks for itself as we are referred continuously to customers by other movers as well as piano companies. We apologize for any inconvenience we may have caused you by not responding quicker to resolve your concerns. We do, however want to thank you for acknowledging the hard work of your movers by the gratuity they received.

Same company moved me last year out of my house and into storage that they have. That crew was the best I ever experienced. In addition, they use 2 30' trucks for my 4 bedroom house, 20,000ibs of furniture. About half went into storage and half to an apartment while house was being built. So it went efficiently, 1 day. In May I was moving out of storage and apartment to the new house. This time they came with 1 30' foot truck. It ended up taking 2 days. The crew was very good but, since they had 1 truck it took longer and cost 20% more. In addition, my grandfather clock was not working. This is why I give a favorable review. When you have a big move, chances are you may have an issue. I submitted a claim on the clock and the overage (in my opinion). The owner of the company came to my house, spent 2 hours fixing my clock, and then after hearing my issue with the overage, gave me a refund. I am very satisfied, and I can vouch that Citywide has high integrity and are driven to satisfy the customer. To me, that is more important than the price.

We had Jimmy, Dennis and Cory as our movers. We could not have asked for a better group of guys. They worked very hard and were extremely careful with all of our belongings. They did not drag boxes on the floors or bang into walls. We had no damage of any kind to either home. We boxed most stuff but what we could not, they disassembled and reassembled with out a problem. We filled up the entire Semi truck with our things and not one thing got broken. The guys worked on very hot days and kept on working. They are very hard workers, kind and professional. We cannot say enough about how pleased we were with this company. Their sales rep Rhonda returned calls and made sure things were running smoothly. You can tell this company cares about their clients and their workers on how everything was run. We are very pleased and would refer and use them again.
Description of Work: City Wide drove to central NY to pick up our household items and deliver them to our new home in York County. We also have a pool table which they were able to take care of without a third party.

Everytime I called the main office, the people were very friendly and courteous to me. They gave me all information I required and were not at all confusing. We decided on a date for the move and I was told the guys would arrive between 9-10am on "move day". They arrived promptly at 9am. I was not there - at closing for our new home, but my mother was and the guys got started immediately. I could not believe all they had done by the time I arrived! They all came up to me and introduced themselves. All of the gentlemen were excellent, I cannot say enough good things about them. They were very careful with each and every item they moved into the trucks. So efficient and fast. I highly recommend this company. I will definitely use them again in the future and have told my family and friends how great they were. Thank you so much to Tim, Chris, Jim, John and Terry. I was very impressed with your excellent and courteous job you did for my husband and myself.

Acceptable quote was presented. The packing and loading was done in one day. We had packed most of the fragile items earlier. The driver and other workers were neat and clean and so were the trucks. Our new villa was not ready for occupancy until early December - about 2 1/2 months, so the furnishings were put in storage at the Citywide facilities. In mid-December, the villa was ready, and Citywide delivered the furniture as agreed. Most of the items were handled very well. The problems were a lack of details on setting up two beds and the grandfather clock. On one bed, an extension to one of the legs was lost in transit. On the other bed, a leg was also lost of transit, and when it was set up, the worker did not complete the set-up and the bed was not level. As things were wrapping up, I noticed that the bed was not level, and brought that to the attention of driver, and they leveled the bed using cardboard. They noted the absence of the bed legs, and told us they had several in the warehouse and would send us replacements. As the truck was driving away, we noticed that the grandfather clock had not been reassembled. Later in the day, we received a call from Citywide asking how things went. I explained the issues. The lady noted the concerns, and said that the issues would be presented to the owners for approval. She also said the grandfather clock not being reassembled was a major "no-no". Because this occurred during the Christmas holidays, we expected some delay with Citywide getting back to us. We waited a couple of weeks, then sent a email asking about the status and a schedule to get things completed. The lady asked if we had gotten her email, and we had not received it. After a couple of conversations, and reschedules, Citywide sent out one of their people and he got everything back to working in a couple of hours. The person who came to our house to correct our items was very detailed in his work. My issue is not with Citywide's overall work; but, the lack of detailed attention by the delivery crew, and then not closing the loop on communications on getting things fixed following delivery. I would use Citywide again on a move, but, would watch every item being assembled, and would follow up with more and more prompt communications immediately following the delivery.
Description of Work: Citywide presented an acceptable proposal for packing, loading, storing, delivering and installing our household goods from house in Charlotte to our new villa in Rock HIll, SC. Citywide also stored a vehicle inside the warehouse for us.

3 person team showed up on time. We had already packed out items so they were basically hired to move (no pack). We were just moving down the street but the exercise is still the same. Guys were very motivated and did not seem at all phased that there was about a 200 yard walk down hallways and up one floor by elevator for every trip to the truck nor were they concerned about the 3 story unit they were moving us into. They move pianos so i wasn't too surprised. All of the furniture was handled with care and wrapped with blankets when needed. They showed up with the proper equipment for a successful move: Proper dollys for moving boxes and furniture, floor protection for hardwoods and carpet, large rubber bands for securing blankets and things that might fly open and straps on the dollys for keeping items in place. The 3 worked together as a team and were very respectful throughout the move (almost too respectful! they kept calling me sir!) The move out went pretty fast and the move in even faster. This was surprising as they had to move a lot of the boxes and furniture up two and three flights of stairs. I read some of the reviews about some workers going berserk - not the case at all! These guys were quite friendly and focused on the task at hand, occasionally joking around which kept it light. I wanted to help them but I knew they had it handled. Some points of interest: If there was anything they had a question on - they asked (where does this go, is this ok to move, etc....) They take a lunch and small breaks when needed - I did not need to provide them with anything They have special equipment to protect your items and your home (walls, floors, etc...) A couple of scratches and scuffs on the walls - they disclosed to me when it happened - nothing that required any major repair Tips are accepted and they certainly earned one from me There is a fee to move weapons so move them yourself if you can. While there are some other reviews that have some pretty harsh comments, I did not experience any of them during our move. I would recommend Citywide and use them again in the future if I need something moved. Thanks for a job well done!

They were not as careful as I would have liked them to be. They did not damage anything but they were not the cleanest movers and they got some of our belongings dirty. I called to let the office manager know, and they said they would pay to clean it up. They seemed understanding about the situation. The movers were very fast and did not care about anything else. It was a little scary to watch them move our belongings and they knicked some of our doorways and walls. They did not seem to work together as a team to get things done.
Description of Work: They were in the second phase of our move and took all of our living room, dining room, bedroom, and kitchen items from our house and moved these to an apartment.

I am very mixed on this review. Three pretty young guys were dispatched to my move. One of the "guys" was very professional, the manager of the team and if it wasn't for him everything would have fallen apart. Another one of the guys went berserk at the end of the day and it was very frightening. He lost his mind and started screaming and cursing. The manager took control of the situation and things calmed down. Very scary. It is stressful enough moving but to also have an unstable team member added an unthinkable stress. I contacted the company while he was going berserk and they said they would send over dispatch but no one ever showed up. Also, they couldn't fit everything in the truck so I had to call my yard guy for emergency help with his truck to get the remainder items as I had to have everything moved that day since I closed on the house that morning. Also was not told that they do not move plants. I had several large planters that took several days to go back over and move myself. Many things were damaged, pottery, dishes etc. Cost was pretty fair considering how long it took to load truck and deliver however I do feel I should have gotten some sort of response or discount from the company regarding their employee going berserk and the stress it caused.
Description of Work: Moved 1400 sq. feet of furniture plus many boxes a few miles.

We would like to take this opportunity to address the concerns you expressed in your review. We understand that tensions can rise on a move job when things are not going as expected or planned, both for the shippers and the movers. From the start when booking a move, the sales representative is trained to ask lots and lots of questions and get as much information as the shipper provides to let us know what the movers are to expect on the day of the move. We give them advice on how to be organized, packed and ready so as not to delay the move. The crew leader was frustrated and agitated that the house was not ready to be moved because a lot of things were not packed in boxes, which makes for a longer and more stressful day for everyone. The trucks are packed like a puzzle meaning that every vacant spot is utilized. When a shipper is not prepared, it makes it difficult to maximize the load. The truck that we sent on your move was a 26 foot truck which is the largest box truck available with the exception of a full-size tractor trailer. We regret you called someone else to help you move the few items that were left unpacked as we would have been happy to make a second trip to complete the move. In local moves, we do move plants but due to the fact that they were filled with ants, we could not place them on the truck. This sort of behavior described in your review is and would not be tolerated by management or the ownership of Citywide. We feel that this situation has been slightly exaggerated but will take the steps to ensure that behavior is never exhibited. We regret that you feel you had a bad experience but do not feel that we should take 100% of the responsibility for the situation. We do appreciate your business and hope that you will give us a chance in the future to achieve our number one goal of customer satisfaction.

Service was excellent. After a Matthews Movers screwed up and wanted to change our delivery date, I called Citywide Movers and they were able to accomodate the 7/5 move date. They were on time and took great care of not to damage the home or the furniture during the move. They did a great job with the move and would recommend to anyone.

We needed some of our big furniture items that were listed for sale to go to my friend's garage which was around the corner in the same neighborhood. They were very careful with moving, loading, unloading the furniture. The rest of the furniture went to the apartment just up the street from our neighborhood and they did an awesome job. I was very pleased. Terry, Shaun, and Anthony are great guys. Thank you Citywide!
Description of Work: Terry, Shaun, and Anthony of Citywide did an awesome job for us. Punctually, they were here 30 minutes early and very courteous. They had to load and drop off our furniture for two separate locations so needless to say it took awhile and a lot of the furniture was very heavy (to include a piano). Citywide gave me a better quote than any other company and would highly recommended them to anyone. I will use them again!

They came and took a walk around the house asking questions. Then they started loading the truck. Very friendly and polite. Did not just make a decision when there was question. Asked me for the information needed. When unloading the truck, they asked where to put things. They did their best putting the boxes in the right rooms.
Description of Work: Helped finish the packing. Loaded the truck.

Citywide was responsive in providing quotes and setting up the move. The movers arrived a few minutes ahead of their scheduled time and overall performed a good job. There were a couple of items that received minor scratches during the move and Citywide worked with us in satisfactorily fixing the items with their repair crew.
Description of Work: Provided moving services for move within Charlotte.

Thank you for writing a review on our behalf regarding your moving experience. While we regret a few things received minor scratches, our repair team is stellar and always do an outstanding job.

Overall the experience was very tense. The crew was not very professional. We've made many moves in the past and this was by far the most nerve racking experience. They were clearly aggitated with us and told my Husband that he should have gotten his own truck and moved himself. We were very specific in our requirements when the representative from citywide came out. We told him we have a lot of valuable irreplaceable antiques and we needed those items double wrapped. It was clear this wasn't communicated to the actual crew doing the work. To me the customer is always right and it's their job to listen and respect the handling of people's valued possessions. I called to complain to the company to report the treatment we received and there was no follow-up no attempt to explain and no effort to give us some compensation. They also left our ladder on the truck which we did not discover missing until several weeks later, no contact from them. I definitely will go elsewhere next time.
Description of Work: Moved the contents of my home from Matthews NC to Raleigh NC.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review on our behalf. Even though you are expressing your displeasure regarding your experience, we felt it warranted a response. We sincerely apologize for the attitudes that were displayed by our crew. We perform over 200 moves a month and work very hard every day to make things right. It is not an excuse, but upon reviewing your complaint with them, we understand how this could have happened. The moving crew that was assigned to your job has more than 20 years of moving experience. These guys get great reviews on a daily basis. Typically, the customer allows our crews to do their jobs without much interference. Our estimator was very specific about your concerns and it was well noted on the paperwork for the movers. Due to the fact that we have received no phone calls or emails regarding any damages, we know that the movers were careful with the handling of your belongings. As for the missing ladder, we were not contacted and therefore, were unaware of this. Some trucks are driven by different drivers on a daily basis so they would not have knowledge as to whether or not the ladder belonged to us or whether it was left on the truck inadvertently. If you would like to discuss this further, please contact our office.

We have now used Citywide two times to move within the area and could not be any happier with their professionalism, price and overall experience. They came out to give an estimate, scheduled our move date, and showed up on time and ready to work. The price was very reasonable as you can pay by the hour for in town moves..and the workers who came never dawdled or rested...they worked!! Also, they protect your floors and there was never a ding or nick on any wall. In fact, we are using them again next month!!
Description of Work: Moved contents of a 6200 square foot house.

Citywide was punctual, professional, friendly, and very easy to work with. From quote, to suggestions on how to save some funds they were very helpful. Since we packed most all of our items Rod gave us some tips on how to package items to help minimize breakage. They took great care with all our items. The movers were friendly and professional. When an antique table recieved a scratch, they picked up the table, repaired the scratch, and helped buff some other nicks and scratches they were not responsible for (preexisting). I would definately recomend them to others.
Description of Work: Citywide moved our entire house worth of items. They also stored a larger portion of our goods in their storage facility for xeveral months.

Late to appointment by 45 minutes. Trenched origin yard when instructed to provide enough workers to carry to avoid yard damage. Left fence gate open and refused to close. Poor service and ironic part was when on hold while reporting lateness the on hold messaging stated "citywide takes pride in in-time, professional uniformed movers." They struck out on every item in that statement. Charged too much ($400-plus) considering actual effort and time spent to move a swing set 1 mile. No choice but to post this report as I allowed one month for the owner to call me back and discuss.

As with all comments on Angie’s List, we take the time to read and research each compliment or complaint. We are intimately familiar with moving playground equipment as it is something we do quite often. As with each job we estimate, the price was provided prior to services being rendered. The price was accepted and the move was booked by you. Four men were booked for this job and unfortunately two of them were running late. The two men that arrived on time were on site and began disassembling the set. We do apologize for their tardiness but the late arrival of the additional two men did not delay your move. The movers disassembled and moved the accessories then placed the main structure on air wheel dollies. In our experience, this could flatten the grass but not trench the yard. In the over 20 years that we have been in business, we have worked diligently to maintain respect and professionalism with all of our customers. We are very fortunate that about 95% of our customers show us the same respect. Having said that, we understand that you feel we did not respond in a timely manner. Due to the volume of our business and the frequency of which the phone rings, this apparently slipped through the cracks and we will work hard to ensure that this does not happen again.
