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 moversโ€”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.

  • State licensing: In Kansas, the Transportation Division of the Kansas Corporation Commission monitors, licenses, and regulates intrastate motor carriers like movers. The stateโ€™s Corporation Commission issues moving companies operating authority in the form of KCC Numbers, which customers can verify online here before hiring a mover. Make sure the moving company you use has a license before hiring.
