Recent Storage Unit Reviews in Chicago
- USA Moving & Storage IncJose and his team were very good, careful and professional and moved us with no damage and no wasted time/materials. We requested his team again. Ilanit and Ulysses handled all of the finance/office/logistics very well too. We highly recommend USA Moving.
- USA Moving & Storage IncFirst, I must give praise to Ms. Zafrani in the main office who worked with me on getting this last minute move arranged for my college student daughter who lives downtown. We kept running into issues with timing, but Ms. Zafrani was able to work her magic and get my daughter squeezed in with us being flexible. I truly appreciate her professionalism and customer service. We had 2 moving dates along with storage in-between. On Move Out Day, Miguel and the 3 additional guys on his team were amazing! They showed up 15 minutes early ready to start! They had a great teamwork routine and we made sure to stay out of their way. They asked questions when they weren't sure on some things (this was a shared apartment). They wrapped everything up that was going into storage like they would treat their own property - very well! A week later, Miguel and the same 3 guys showed up early and ready to start again! We just stood back and let them do their thing. After they moved things in to their proper places they unwrapped everything and even offered to stay and help assemble furniture we had unassembled ourselves the previous week. Miguel and his team were super nice, very professional and they worked so well with each other! Miguel as a team leader is fantastic. Can tell he respects his team and they respect him as well. That's why they work so well together. Will absolutely use them again the next time daughter needs to change apartments on the northside of downtown
- Move-tastic!Move-Tastic is an A+ company! From our very first call, along with email communications, to move day, EVERY STAFF MEMBER was knowledgeable, courteous and friendly! They beat their estimate, are punctual and highly organized. Our move was seamless! We are pleased and will definitely call upon them again for future moves! The use of the Box-Beater bins was also a HUGE plus. We rate Move-Tastic with 5 stars and would recommend them to anyone’ in a time where there is so much indifference in our world, it was a pleasure to work with a company who truly exemplifies what they project on their website. THANK YOU for a FANTASTIC moving experience
- USA Moving & Storage IncI am so happy I decided to hire USA Moving & Storage for my move. My last move was not the best experience, so I was a little apprehensive. I was impressed with the company's communication leading up to my move, they were very upfront with pricing and stayed in touch to make sure everything would go perfectly on move day. They sent a four-man crew, and all of them were quick, professional, helpful, and friendly. Our belongings were safely stored for two nights before moving into our new apartment. I had struggled to find a company that would store our belongings for more than one night, so this was a huge plus. I would absolutely hire them again for any future moves, everything went so smoothly
- Azarias TransportationGreat expérience and second move for me with Azarias within 9 months. Each time Jose delivered what was promised. The move went smoothly and my items were handled with care. Things that needed extra wrapping were carefully wrapped and the price was fair. Juan even skipped his morning coffee to make sure everything was on time! A great quality service I recommend highly
- USA Moving & Storage IncLove USA Moving! The guys are friendly and hardworking they work quickly and efficiently! We will use them foe our next move!
- Blankenship Movers IncThe moving was done over 2 days. The first day consisted of moving certain items to a storage locker. And the second day consisted of moving the remaining materials to my new apartment. The 2 guys that came (Alfredo and Carlos) were tremendous. they did a great job moving my materials in an efficient and careful, yet brisk manner. Everything was wrapped well prior to the move to either location. Especially of note was how they moved my 55" LG OLED 4K TV. They didn't wrap it up in plastic wrapping. Instead they wrapped it up in blankets so as not to effect the screen in any way. Smart. And, it was done perfectly without incident. I would use Blankenship again in a heartbeat and I likely will
- Blankenship Movers IncGreat!!! The guys (Andrew, Jason, and Angel) worked really hard and efficiently. They shrink-wrapped the beds, love seat, and recliner, and were careful with all of the furniture, especially the potentially fragile items (like my glass dinner table, African art, and multiple framed large pictures. Check this out in terms of keeping to the estimate: my estimate was 4 hrs labor plus fuel charge. When we hit the 4 hr. mark, the movers were not through. Andrew said he was going to (and did) stop the clock while they finished the move so that my move would be within the estimate
- Blankenship Movers IncOutstanding!!!! We met at my storage shed first,and actually the movers were there 15 minutes early. There were three men who each came out and introduced themselves to me. Brian, Alfredo and Alberto. My storage shed was packed the shed had been sitting for years with all my things from a previous house. you know so I am seeing things that I did not realize were in there. But the movers said no problem! And they did it all perfectly and asked questions as needed. Next we had to make a second stop to my current residence to move an entire bedroom and I also forgot to tell them about an elliptical machine in the basement and a very old tube T.V. (more sentimental than anything else) But again Brian said no problem!!! These three men are very strong, personable, trustworthy and hard workers! They were with me for almost 7 hours, I felt terrible taking up there whole day. I could not have done this move period without them. Thank Yo
- Blankenship Movers IncSTOP LOOKING FOR ANOTHER MOVING COMPANY. THESE MOVERS ARE GREAT, FABULOUS AND AWESOME!!! The move was perfect in every aspect. Al, Brian, and Jose are true professionals from the beginning to the end. My husband and I would highly recommend them and use them again. They definitely went the extra mile. They worked nonstop and treated our furniture like it was their own. The company should be proud to have these 3 employees working for them. 😃😄�

Additional DBA - Chicagoland Moving and Storage. Family owned.
"The move went smoothly. It took longer than originally estimated but price did not change - we received a 'fixed quote' from the company. The 2 company co-founders were nice and easy to deal with. Unlike other moving companies I had contacted, their price included 20 free boxes of various size. Throughout the process, they appeared to really want my business which was a good sign. I would suggest you are present when furniture is delivered so you are there to direct the movers on the placement of the furniture. Also check that all small knobs / etc. that might've been taken out for the move are there - this was the only small issue I discovered where a couple of knobs were left behind.

"You don't run across many honest companies like this. I called for a quote, left a message and they called me back within the hour. I spoke to the owner (Ed) and he was quite apologetic at not being able to handle my move given the size of my home. He also provided names of reputable companies (his competitors) that he felt could handle the job well. This will be the company I call if I have a smaller move. I know they will stand by their commitments and certainly showed their integrity. They did not have to call me back.

"They were able to come out quickly for an estimate when contacted. Estimate was lower than other estimates received. Also, able to schedule within two weeks of deciding to go with them. Showed up a little bit latter than what they initially said. They were moving my 80 parents. The two movers were very friendly, patient and professional. My parents were very please with the move. The time it took was 2 to 3 hours and a few hundred less than the original estimate. Very happy with the move and would use them again.

"Kevin's Piano did a terrific job moving our grand piano. They arrived on time, were quick, courteous and very careful. The piano was out of our house and on the truck in under 15 minutes. When we arrived at the new location, the team realized that the wet grass meant that they needed to reschedule and bring additional personnel. We were glad that they didn't try to roll a 600+ lb piano down a slippery hill! They put the piano back on the truck, stored it at their climate controlled facility and came back a few days later on a sunny day with extra men. I was very pleased with the care and agility they demonstrated to get our piano down a big hill and into our ground level living room.
