    What started out as a good move, quickly took a nose dive. The team assigned to us were headed up by a seemingly knoweledgable foreman, but as the loading of the truck began to slow down considerably within the first 2 hours of the move (of an estimated 4-5 hour move) we were informed that they are training one of the members, so its going to take some extra time. In addition to that, the crew forgot their own tools and kept asking for ours, AND they ran out of packing supplies before they could finish properly wrapping and taping up the items that needed it. When they arrived with our stuff at our new place, they were incredibly slow, (my girlfriend and I were walking around with scissors and box cutters taking tape and padding off furniture to try to speed things along) The whole move took well over 7 hours and they spent too much time on things that could have been solved easily (like removing legs from a couch to get it to fit in the door) We did complain multiple times and FINALLY got some of the time refunded (only 1 hour though) but then we discovered (once we were all settled in) that our living room TV was busted (we hadn't turned it on yet as we have two TVs and hadn't finished up with the lower level yet) I texted the image to the company and received no response, and I have also left two voicemails and no call back. It feels like since they "wrapped up" with us, there is no concern now to pay attention. Definitely would not recommend Move-tastic ever again. Up front they are pleasant on the phone and seem to have it together, but in reality they do not do a good job.

    Do you do any interstate moves? We are looking to move from the Milwaukee area to Chicago...

    Yes, Move-tastic! can assist with moves to or from Milwaukee!

    How much would it cost just to have a couple of guys come help move stuff out of an apartment into a truck for a couple of hours this Saturday in lincoln park around noon?

    There is a way to get a quote on their website! You just enter what you need, when, and how long, and they will give you a quote. My quote was higher than what they ended up charging, which is always great news!

My 1st visit was really good as Maria showed me around and explained how the units worked. Upon hearing that I would need my storage unit for a couple more weeks Maria extended my reservation to keep my rate and that really helped. On move in day I was given a phone call the day before, to check to make sure what time I was going to arrive. I was able to reschedule my time when I realised that the time slot didn't work any longer. The office staff were very flexible with helping me out. I was able to complete the whole moving process in less than 30 minutes. Overall I am happy with my unit I end up getting a 10 by 7 and a 1/2. I do like the ease of unloading my S UV into their docking station. I appreciate the climate control as it can get really hot during the summer and I was worried about my electronics. This was the true reason I picked this location even though about $50 more per month than the location about 2 miles away. All in all super excited about the fringe benefits of this location, To include utilization of a moving truck. The nice thing is that they allow you to use the moving truck up to 2 weeks from your moving date. This alone is going to save me a $150.

We were victims of a Con artist and took a financial hit that was extremely difficult to recover from. We fell behind on the rent. I presented our hardship to the staff here. I cried and begged them to please give us time to not loose everything we had. But, instead they raised the rent. We did everything we could to raise the money. Paid them thousands and got within a few hundred dollars from paid off. So, they raised the rent again and added more fees. We begged. My Mother even paid what she could and begged them as well to have a heart. But, we lost everything. The money we thought would be our cushion to be able to rebuild our lives went to paying fees to these heartless people. We were $200 short and we lost everything. Still on the streets now hoping to rebuild our lives. Stay Away!!

This is absurd and absolutely ridiculous and absurd!!!! I have not even been there for a year and they 50% increased my storage unit rent!!!! After doing my research, there are PLENTY of cheaper storage units around. Do yourself a favor and do your research before going with this place. It's worth saving money and worth the extra moving from storage unit to storage unit.

    I had to unexpectedly move to a new city at the end of last year, and I knew I didn't have enough…read moretime to schedule moving all of my items long distance to the new city I moved to. It was too stressful so I just researched a bunch of self-storage facilities near my apartment and found this one. They had a deal online for the first few months, so I went to check out the facility and met Monique, the Property Manager there, who was AMAZING. She showed me around and helped me figure out which storage unit was best for my items and really made me feel comfortable and relaxed about storing my items there on such short notice. I don't know what I was expecting, but this storage facility is really clean and well lit and very well protected with codes required to both enter the facility through one of the moving doors and to access the elevator. I felt very safe there and I felt very safe in leaving my items there. And Monique wasn't just amazing when I signed up for a storage unit there, she was amazing all throughout the time I kept my items there if I had any questions. When I finally went to move my items out and onto a long distance moving van, she made the entire process so easy for the movers to get into the building and the exit paperwork was incredibly easy to fill out and take care of too. If you are stressed about moving your items into storage, store them here. Monique and any of the rest of the staff there that I interacted with were incredible helpful and kind. It was an incredible experience all the way through. I'm so appreciative!! Thank you, Monique!!!

    I have used this facility for the past 4 years. The facility is really clean and secure…read more I like my unit and the availability to come in really early and organize my things. When I started my unit was $143 bucks now it over $240 bucks. Every 3 months they increase it. Very few upgrades have happened to this facility since I started. Only new thing is a self-entry key pad got an upgrade. I don't like that there is a constant increase. What I like about this place is that it is close to where I live. I can easily go and get my things and drop stuff off. It is very necessary since I only have two closets. Having the unit makes it super easy to change items out every season. Plus the parking is nice as you can back directly into the garage. Each level is secure. I feel safe in here at all times. Must punch in code to access facility and then punch in code to access elevators. Cameras are located everywhere. Big incentive for women to use this facility because of the security. During office hours, there is always someone on site. Usually 2 office members. Tip: can rent truck for move-in only
