I received a phone call today at 11 a. m. this morning from John the manager of City Movers. John said he is responding back to my request that I have answered these 10 questions on this online form on the Yelp Projects in the messages area for businesses for a Free Quote to conduct a long distance move from my hometown in Oceanside, CA to my boyfriend's (Michael) home in Kansas City, Missouri. John talked me for about one hour on the phone because I had to ask him a lot of questions and I am a very thorough person in requesting an accurate quote on my long distance move from Oceanside, CA to Kansas City, Missouri. My rating in giving John this manager of City Movers is for our phone conversation only. When I hire City Movers to do this long distance move I will update this review
I asked John the manager of City Movers, What is the cost of this long distance move from Oceanside, CA to my boyfriend's home in Kansas City, Missouri? I told John the manager of City Movers I will be traveling light and I want to move 14 of my personal items including light furniture such as 2 bedroom dresser, 2 night stands, my dell computer and printer, 2 office tables and my office chair and 2 standing lamps with an electric cord
attached. John said the Estimated Quote is $2,516.00.The weight is 1,776 pounds, The Volume is 296 cubic feet. I will have to pay an additional rate for any extra items that I add onto my long distance move the price is $8.50 per cubic foot. John said that City Movers does NOT provide cardboard packing boxes John suggested to me to go to a Home Depot Store in Oceanside, CA and buy 20 medium size packing boxes with a roll of clear packing tape to secure all of these 20 boxes when I have to start packing up my things like kitchen ware things, pots and pans, and small appliances like a coffee maker, microwave oven and a toaster oven.
In my opinion this estimated cost is very expensive just to transport (14) of my items from Oceanside, CA to Kansas City, Missouri.
This Quote does NOT include transporting my car to my boyfriend's home.
John this manager told me I will have to put down a $100 deposit to book my specific move (date and time) from Oceanside, CA to Kansas City, Missouri.
It will take about 3 or 4 days to complete this long distance move to Kansas City, Missouri. John told me, he will hire 3 men who will be moving my things into a 26 foot truck that looks like a U-Haul Truck. John also said this truck has a lot of space to fit additional items like a heavier furniture like a couch, recliners, and a flat screen television with a entertainment center.
I also asked John, how much does he charge to transport my car to Kansas City, Missouri? John told me that their City Movers Company does NOT transport their customers cars to do long distance moves and I would have to hire a private subcontractor who works with a moving company to transport my car which will be loaded on a flat bed trailer and my car will be secured plus this moving company carries complete insurance if something happened to my car. John this manager of City Movers told me the reason their company does NOT transport their customer's cars in doing long distance moves is because they don't want to have to pay for this expensive insurance on their customers cars in case something happens to their cars during their long distance moving to another state.
John said it depends on how many items I will be shipping and the cost is determined by how many rooms. I told John this manager of City Movers that I want to travel light and I don't want to incur an expensive bill on my credit card account. This City Movers Company it sounds like this long distance move to my boyfriend's home is going to be a really expensive move. I seriously will have to think about it and if I want to do business with City Movers or not. read more
