Review Analysis
Rave feedback makes Nicolosi Moving & Storage Inc. a standout in Tucson. After reviewing 202 feedback entries, 86% were positive. Customers frequently praised their efficient service, careful handling of items, professional staff, strong communication, and noted frequent personal recommendations. Repeat business and referrals are common thanks to their promptness and reliably skilled movers—traits not always found in the industry. Negative feedback focused mainly on lost or missing items, property damage, and lack of follow-up, issues which are flagged more often than with similar local companies. Some complaints related to communication lapses or delayed issue resolutions. Neutral feedback highlighted procedural missteps, unexpected extra costs, and areas where more transparent communication could improve the experience. While most customers found Nicolosi easy to work with and trustworthy, those concerned about accountability for property and resolution of complaints should be attentive during their move. Compared to other movers, Nicolosi wins high marks for service quality but should strengthen handling of problematic claims to match their service reputation.

Other considerations when moving to Nebraska

If you’re relocating from Tucson to Nebraska, there’s more involved than simply packing up and hiring movers. Don’t forget to look into local regulations, permits, and any other logistics that could impact your move.

  • HOA rules: Check ahead with any neighborhood or community rules on moving to ensure a smooth move.
  • Elevator reservation: If your building has an elevator, make sure you find out how to reserve it for your moving day.
  • Truck parking permits: Some cities require parking permits for moving trucks or oversized vehicles, so be sure to find out ahead of time if you’ll need one for your move.
  • State licensing: The Nebraska Public Service Commission (NPSC) regulates local and intrastate moving companies within the state. All movers must have a Certificate of Authority issued by the NPSC, maintain minimum levels of insurance, and comply with regulations set forth by the Commission’s Motor Carrier Division. Double-check that your moving company is fully licensed before you hire them.
  • State regulator: You can easily verify a Nebraska moving license anytime on the state’s official regulatory site.
  • Moving permits: Nebraska does not require any moving permits, but it is helpful to check local parking restrictions before moving into the state.
  • Change of address: Submit your USPS change of address form at least a week before your move. You can select your official move date to ensure your mail gets forwarded to Nebraska without a hitch. Get started here.
  • Moving insurance: Insurance rules aren’t the same everywhere. They change depending on the state. Opt for Released Value Protection, a no-cost choice with minimal coverage, as movers are liable for up to 60 cents per pound per item. For example, if your mover misplaces or damages a valuable antique weighing 30 pounds, you’d receive $18 (60 cents x 30 pounds). For broader coverage, discuss alternatives with your moving company or consider consulting a third-party insurance provider.
  • Moving checklist: Move with confidence using our moving checklist. It keeps you organized and covers all the details, letting you stress less and focus on settling into your new place.
