We had to go for the full spa treatment - they packed us, moved our stuff into storage, then move it out of storage and into our new home. The staff were all great from start to finish. The best part is that all the actual movers enjoyed each other and got along well. Imagine being a mover and having to carry a china hutch with your office enemy. Not at all an issue with Kato Moving! Were there a few issues with the move? Sure, but what move goes off without a hitch? One issue with Kato Moving is that they were not great at labeling boxes. Most boxes from the basement were just labeled "basement" despite there being five different rooms in the basement (two storage rooms, one mechanical room, one office, and one bedroom). If they had been better at labeling boxes we would have had an easier time knowing where a box went in the new home. The second issue has been a bit more costly. One of the movers took apart my Ikea bed for moving. Please know that Kato Moving insurance does not cover any particle board furniture. The problem came up when it was put together again at our new home. One of the side rails was jammed together too roughly. That has resulted in the side railing splitting and falling apart. Unfortunately that means I have to buy a whole new bed since Ikea doesn't sell parts. When moving our family motto has always been "Beds are the last thing on so they are the first things off!". If you have two trucks for moving have the furniture on one truck and boxes on the second. Request to have the furniture placed first. Then the boxes can easily go into the correct rooms.

    What began as a five star experience sadly devolved into this rating…read more Schaap Moving & Storage offers competitive prices and the fellows who loaded the truck for the move were pleasant, efficient and very respectful of my possessions. Unfortunately, a stone console table, even though it was well wrapped, broke during the move. These things can happen. Where the company fell down on the job was regarding customer service. I immediately informed them of the damaged item and even sent the original invoice for its purchase to substantiate the value of the piece. After many phone calls and emails, there was never any resolution from the person in charge of residential moves. I now have a broken table top and no recourse from Schaap Moving and Storage. The cost of replacement would not be an expense to the company since I purchased insurance so I don't understand the reluctance on the part of the moving company to make this right. What a shame that a company that could have gotten a stellar review showed that it really doesn't care about its clients!

They deliver the trailer to your old home and you have about 3 days to load it. They pick it up and get it to your new location in 4 to 6 business days. You only pay for space used. No extra costs. You do have to pack/load then unload/unpack yourself (unless you hire someone). You also don't know exact delivery date. So if you are willing to put up with those inconveniences ... I highly recommend their services.

We moved a whole household (4 bedroom home) from NW Iowa, over to NE Wisconsin. U-Pack does a nice job online of explaining how their service works, and then lots of hints and tips about packing and loading the truck. They also were good about answering questions I had when I called them. Trucks were delivered to us exactly as scheduled. We had three days to load. Make sure you have your crew lined up to help and the key is to really pack things out using all available space, top to bottom. Strap things off across the truck about every 8' to help secure the load. Then delivery is scheduled within a range of so many days, which you can track online. Trucks were well within range. Again we had three days to unload. Delivery and pickup of the trucks was made quickly once called for. Compared to moving companies, saved a TON. Compared to other do it yourself methods, I would have have to rent a fleet of trucks and made a whole lot of trips. U-Pack does all the transportation. Made life much easier. Again, can't say enough about the whole process and would definitely use them again. Check them out if you want to save yourself some money and time.
