Mad City Movers was the worst moving experience I have ever had. For some perspective, I was a military kid and a veteran and moved around many times in my childhood and in my adult life. I've worked with several good companies in my adult life, but wanted to work with a local company as a small way to support the economy. These are the ways MCM made our move more stressful than regular. They didn't put floor covering down on the major walkways- only at the entrance to the house. They forgot the handles to our refrigerator at the first house and forgot to install them at the second house

Our 20 year old daughter was home when the movers arrived to our condo. Pictures that should have been removed from the stairwell were not, and that is certainly on us. Had the movers been professional they would have requested the pictures be taken down, and most certainly should have been forthcoming about knocking one to the ground and breaking the frame.
*edit…I received an email with an offer to pay $25 towards the cost of fixing the frame. The movers should have at least advised our daughter to take the pictures down, and or acknowledge the damage. To exit the building they would have

Mad City Moving was absolutely amazing with our move. This was our first time using a moving company and we will definitely be using and recommending them for future moves. Our movers were so kind and caring, they even let my 5 year old help with little things so he could feel like he was big and strong. It only took 5 hours for us to get loaded at our old place to unloaded at our new home. Thank you for making our moving day smooth and easy.

Everyone at Mad City Moving were great to work with. The booking process went smoothly, the administrative staff was responsive to questions and confirmed our crew over a week in advance, and the crew who loaded our UHaul truck were friendly, efficient, saved us time and our backs, and pushed through the move on a very humid day! I highly recommend Mad City Moving for all of your moving needs!

I hate giving local businesses bad reviews. I reached out via email to one of the owners, Brenda about my experience (not to ask for compensation,) but just to share my poor experience with the company. It has been a week and I haven't heard a peep back from her, so I feel like I need to inform potential customers.
My husband and I hired MC Moving to pack up and move from our old house to new house. Communication leading up to moving day was fantastic! The movers came to pack everything up the day before we moved. They were all very nice and professional. Once moving day came, they were right

I have used Mad City Movers in the past and did not hesitate to call them again for my latest move. The office staff was very professional and returned calls immediately. The movers are also very professional and seemed to enjoy their work. Would highly recommend Mad City to anyone looking for a mover, well worth it.

Let me start by saying this is the third time we’ve use Mad City so that should tell you something. The first time was 20 years ago so that says even more. These guys are fast, thorough, careful, polite and always on time. Their prices are fair and they give a discount for repeat business. Face it, moving is a pain in the a$$ but Mad City makes it tolerable. They put everything where we wanted including about 25 boxes making sure all labels face out. Heavy tool boxes, no problem. Try them and you won’t be sorry.

We had such a great experience with Mad City Moving! It was extremely quick and efficient, and Sam and the team were friendly and fun to work with. I'm so glad we went with Mad City Moving, and Brandi was also very helpful with my booking questions. 10/10 would recommend!

Mad City Moving did a fantastic job! My husband and I moved from Madison to Chicago, and we decided to try the full service rather than getting a Uhaul and hiring movers. We're so happy we did. Brenda was responsive and flexible with setting everything up, which was great since our closing date was originally up in the air. It was nice having that piece of mind that our belongings were taken care of, all we had to do was drive ourselves to our new home. Our movers, Shane and Jake were exceptional! They were on time, pleasant, and got the job done quickly. They also made sure to wear

Horrible experience. Hired Mad City to move my daughter and store her belongings for the summer. I had confirmed the move in day and time with the office several times prior to move in. They were over two hours late with no phone call saying they were delayed. Plus one box of my daughters items is missing. Emailed and called several times with no response back!!
Lazybones is a much better option!

Used Madison Movers for our move from Madison to McFarland. Had them pack up our old house 1st . Loaded up 2 trucks on Saturday so we could completely clean the old house. Closed on the new house on Monday they had the 2 trucks emptied in about 3 hours. Rates were comparable to their competitors. Probably won't need a mover for a while but would definitely use them again

My company has used Mad City Moving many times over the past several years to do moves in and around Madison for our clients. We've also had them do a move to Chicago. Its employees have always been on time, professional, and efficient. Customer service has been great. I definitely recommend Mad City Moving!

Worst customer service...ever. I just completed a portion of my move with Mad City moving. The movers themselves were nice enough, though they weren't exactly professionals. The way they stacked things in my storage unit was awful and completely without forethought. That was forgivable, because they were as courteous as they could be. The customer service from Brenda the owner was awful conversely. It was clear to me after my move that they were willing to upcharge me for work they weren't doing, but weren't actually interested in doing the work I was paying them for.

We moved locally to Madison & itwas a great move! James, Brandon & Steve were the team. Because of the piano I had, 3 movers were needed. I can describe the guys as polite, careful of everything they handled, considerate of both houses--rolling out mats to walk on, saran wrapping things, etc. They didn't take any breaks but were constantly moving even running up the stairs. They worked as an efficient team --each one knowing what to do when. They also carried old mattresses out for us & loaded my car with the old clunker TVs to be recycled. The smiles were abundant & they

My two day move was incredibly easy, all thanks to Mad City Moving. Brenda was quick to respond to my emails and questions and was extremely helpful in the days leading up to the move. The movers, led by Julius, were professional, friendly, and fast! I will hire them again and recommend them to others.

I hired Mad City moving to move me. The two individuals that moved me were very prompt with arriving and they treated my items better than I expected. I had a very large all glass curio cabinet and they took such great care in moving it as well as putting all the glass shelves back in. They were friendly and worked very efficiently. I will absolutely hire Mad City again.

I used Mad City Movers twice in 2015 and once in early 2016. This is a belated review, but I hope it helps others. My landlord at Lincoln School Apartments paid for these moves as part of of intra-building moves due to remodeling. My main criticism is that the movers were over-booked-- MC Movers did not come out or phone to evaluate the scope of the move. They seemed to under-estimate the job and time...and the actual on-site moving crew tried to do a good job, but really cut corners and left things for us tenants to move. My 3 moves were all badly scoped and done. Other tenants said the same

This was the worst moving experience I have ever had. The movers were late, uninformed of the details I gave the owner, so very slow, did not work as a team, took smoke breaks every hour, and one of them called me "babe" or :baby" -even after I asked him to just call me by my name. What should have been a 4-5 hour move; ended up being 8 hours!
There was a valuable mirrored cabinet that I had asked nicely to be extra careful with and it arrived broken because the mover used a dolly and a strap that ended up stress fracturing the mirrored panel, The man in charge of repairs and appraisals

I had a really bad experience with this company. Movers were rude and owner was worse. She had me in tears. We had a miscommunication about how much we had to move, and rather than handle it professionally, and try to do whatever they could to get us moved, one of the movers screamed at me and then had the owner call me and scream at me some more. The owner told me I should have had a walk through by their sales associate to confirm our load, but the trouble was no one offered that to me, nor told me that was an option.

We hired Mad City Moving in June, 2015. We were EXTREMELY impressed. The two man team arrived on time. They were super courteous, friendly and handled all of our items with care. We were impressed with how quick they were too. Since they're paid by the hour, we figured they may end up taking their time with the move, but the guys were RUNNING up the stairs between loads (and this was with 3rd floor apartments at both locations) and finished early. Their estimate was half the price of some of the other moving companies in the area and they even ended up charging LESS than the estimate

My sister hired Mad City for her move to Madison 8 years ago, and hired them again for her recent move across town. I came to help out, and WOW was I impressed! Scheduled for 8am, they showed up right on time, 3 guys in a truck. They backed it up to the apartment exit, got a quick walk-through, and started hauling stuff down. They loaded her apartment in an obscenely short amount of time, accepted our offer of drinks for the road, confirmed the next address (her fiance's apartment), and leaped into the truck to head out. His place was similarly smooth -- the guys were professional, courteous

Unprofessional. I am currently sitting here while these movers are here listening to them swear up a storm while there's kids in the house, complain about how twisty and turny the house is.... Talk on the phone, yell on the phone.. Come on. They have no idea how to be professional or courteous. I wouldn't hire them for that reason alone.

Not good, I definitely won't be using these guys again.
First, one of the movers did nothing but complain about the size of my furniture. Maybe I'm mistaken, but I think moving large couches is their job. Then once they did get it outside, they completely destroyed my bookcase. They claim that it can be put back together, but the pieces are torn apart and scratched all over the place, so I'm not going to be keeping it. On top of it all, they were here for 40 minutes from when they pulled in to my parking lot to when they left, but they charged me for 90 minutes, which was meant
