Piepho Moving & Storage

1. PROBLEM

   Ratings disagree sharply between platforms

   Google 4.9★ (349 reviews) vs Yelp 3.3★ (28 reviews): a 1.6-star gap between platforms Rating and review count observations: google: 2026-10-13T03:29:34.213Z; yelp: 2026-10-13T03:29:34.213Z; bbb: 2026-10-14T08:35:36.734472+00:00.

   When one platform is glowing and another is not, the difference is the story — read both.

   Website (observed 2026-10-13T03:29:08.874Z): 2995 Lone Oak Cir #7, Eagan, MN 55121; 1300 Oak Forest Dr., Onalaska, WI 54650. FMCSA physical address (observed 2026-10-13T03:29:09.391Z): 4121 HWY 14 WEST, ROCHESTER, MN 55901. FMCSA mailing address: 110 SO COLUMBUS, ALBERT LEA, MN 56007.

   Different branches, a relocation, or different reporting dates may explain the difference. Confirm the current operating office and the location handling your move.

   Follow-up: a page first read as another business lists this company itself

   The permitted page titled “Moving to Rochester” lists “Piepho Moving and Storage” as a moving-van provider and prints 800-622-4515, but it does not establish a corporate relationship with a Minneapolis business.

   The permitted source contains no state-register or FMCSA filing, shared-person information, Minneapolis address, succession or rebranding statement, consumer statement, or separate business website for comparison, so those matters remain unverified.

What kind of company is this?

Address use and operating locations

A registered office, mailing address and operating facility can be different places. Residential or mailbox use alone does not establish improper operation.

No current source-backed property-use determination is available. This is a verification gap, not proof of a false address or a verified operating facility.

Other businesses that share an identifier with this company, searched Oct 9, 2026. A shared phone, email, address or registration number is a documented fact. On its own it does not establish common ownership or a corporate relationship; that is stated separately for each entry.

Minnesota Secretary of State Business Search · checked Oct 13, 2026. A business-entity registration is separate from federal moving authority and from a state mover licence.

• Limitation: Business registration is not a mover licence.
• Limitation: The register did not display an as-of or last-updated date on the record pages, so source_date is null for every match.
• Limitation: The searches returned no [name withheld] entry and no separate exact record under the supplied all-caps spelling; the register displayed the matching legal name as 'Piepho Moving & Storage, Inc.'.
• Limitation: The register's search interface displayed no explicit total-results count or pagination control; searches were run separately for each supplied legal name, with suffixless/contains variants and both Active and Inactive status scopes.
• Limitation: An active registered agent does not make a defaulted company active; the status word is the register's own.
• Limitation: More than one entity on the register is tied to this company; the strongest tie was recorded and the rest are listed.

Structured accounts from customers who proved their move with a bill of lading or final invoice, a verified email, and a verified phone. No star ratings, no anonymous reviews, and nothing a company can pay to change — how this works.

No verified customer reports yet. Only customers who can document their move may submit one — that keeps the count honest, and it means it grows slowly.

Each section of the full report names its sources: official federal and state records, the company's own website, review platforms and other public pages. Access requires a one-time fee, shown at checkout.

What this report checked, source by source. Coverage describes the scope of the report; it does not grade the company. A search with no match applies only to the named source, date and recorded scope; it does not establish that no cases exist.

Checked 13 of 15 applicable sources. Not available when checked: FMCSA insurance filings, BBB.
