8:30am: nice delivery dude comes with a van full of boxes and offer to help me up 4 flights w/boxes.
9am: I am writing this Yelp review both to praise City Moving and to find a new excuse to put off packing!
I was ready to give this place 5 stars the first time I ordered 7 boxes from them plus a mattress cover and some tape. They were on time and nice and had my order correct. I received my order with free delivery and within the time slot I gave them the same day!
I tried to order the 2nd time around, this time I only needed 2 more boxes and they called to tell me that there's a delivery charge on the 2nd time of purchase if the order was under 20$...ok.
....well that was fine but then they told me that couldn't make it to my neighborhood within my 3 hour time slot...ok..well when can you come then? ...the answer was a little vague and they told me they'll try their best.
I'm the end I never received my second order and they have yet to reply to my email and also they have yet to refund the money I paid for that order! #_#
I found CMB on Craigslist as well. At first I was a little wary because the prices were so noticeably lower than what you can find at Staples or from moving companies, but I put my trust in previous Yelp reviews and was not disappointed.
I ordered a 1-room set of boxes for $44 to pack up the contents of a bedroom, bathroom, and small kitchen (excluding furniture and large appliances), and they were so generous with the boxes that I even had a few left over. The set came with 3 small boxes, 8 medium boxes, and 4 large boxes, a 100 foot roll of bubble wrap, a roll of packing tape, and a sharpie.
Delivery was prompt and courteous. I asked them to come at the end of the 2-hr window they provided, to which they obliged. They ran about 20 minutes later than that, but I got a phone call letting me know they'd be late ONE MINUTE after the window had passed. Oh, and Arthur (the owner? delivery? both?) is a really nice guy!
I randomly found City Moving Boxes on Craigslist while looking for cheap boxes. Buying boxes always seems silly to me but last time I moved in garbage bags and shopping bags everyone got mad so I figured I needed to pull out the big bucks to pack properly. Surprisingly though City Moving Boxes sells cheap boxes! A wardrobe box for $9, XL boxes for $4 and free same day/next day delivery. I was quite pleased, well I mean not pleased that I had to buy dumb boxes, but pleased that I found cheap boxes.
