Recent Movers Reviews in Chicago
- USA Moving & Storage IncIt went great! I've used USA Moving & Storage probably 5 or 6 times now and they never fail. Always professional, friendly, fast, and affordable.
- USA Moving & Storage IncI was very happy with USA Moving. Scheduling my move was easy, they provided detailed information about the estimated cost, they followed up multiple times to confirm the move date and were very kind and helpful when I showed up in person to get boxes more than once! The crew of 4 showed up on time, they were respectful and careful with my belongings so nothing was damaged. The entire move took 2 1/2 hours which was awesome! The weather that day was awful - snow, rain, wind and cold. The team was still so friendly and easy going despite having to work in those conditions. I would recommend them highly, without hesitation
- H2H Movers IncWe had a fabulous experience with the team from H2H Movers. It is pretty hard to believe but our move from our 3rd-floor apartment to our new house took only 2 hours! 6 amazing workers came with 2 trucks and did the work thoughtfully and very efficiently. We worked with Nick and his team. They were not simply carrying our belongings, they were constantly asking questions about fragile items, where to store each piece, and always very courteous and respectful. We have a lot of books, and books are heavy stuff to carry, kind of back breaking. They did not utter a single complaint. I have moved a lot in my life but never met such an amazing team
- H2H Movers IncQuote was fair and was accurate. The movers were very professional and quick. Nothing damaged. Would highly recommend!
- H2H Movers IncWe used H2H movers for a move from Chicago to Ohio. Based on our experience, we can HIGHLY recommend them. The three person moving crew was friendly, professional, and very efficient, all well being extremely careful with all of our items. They showed up about 5 minutes before the scheduled time, assessed the items and immediately started loading up the truck. Everything was properly protected with blankets or boxes and the move was quick and extremely orderly on both ends. When they left the destination, every piece of furniture was in its place and in perfect condition. The individuals we worked with to obtain a quote, update inventory and to discuss the move process were also very friendly and professional. The fee for the move was very competitive and communications about it were clear -- both leading up to the move and on the day of the move. A representative reached out to make sure everything was going well once the items were loaded in the truck and immediately after the delivery was complete. Top notch! H2H exceeded our expectations and they made move day stress free -- I would definitely use them again
- White Glove Moving & StorageIt went wonderful. The crew was very professional and courteous. As a designer, I appreciated that on the jobsite. The move went very smoothly and without a hitch. I would highly recommend White Glove Moving!
- USA Moving & Storage IncWe could not have had a better experience. USA Moving's team was friendly, helpful, and very cautious. They were done in 3 hours, wrapped any item we missed, and made sure every piece of furniture was in the correct room. They even offered to set up furniture for us that we had to take apart. We also realized after the move that they tightened all screws that were a bit loose once we were at our destination
- Stanford Van Lines IncStamford van lines were amazing. They did a great job. Maxim helped me from Step 1 to the end. Great communication. Super friendly. Professional and timely. I would def recommend using for all moves.
- Stanford Van Lines IncIt was the first time someone gave me the actual price of my move. Like they actually picked up my stuff for the price they told me. I’ve moved 6 times and it took the 7th to finally find someone without the middleman. Thanks max for your service ! You were a great help
- Azarias TransportationAzarias Transportation were GREAT!!!!!!! They went above and beyond what was expected. The item they picked up for me would not fit threw my door, way to big totally my fault, but Azarias Transportation did everything in there power to get it done and they helped me so much when they really did not have to because they are a moving company, but they took my display apart so it would fit in the door way and then put it back together for me! OMG I know if I had hired any other moving company they would of just dropped off this huge display on my door step, but Azarias Transportation took the time out of there day and mind you it was 1 degrees outside so cold, they worked for over an hour to take apart the display in the freezing cold weather! These guys are so awesome, they care about there customers and go above and beyond! If it wasn't for Azarias Transportation I don't know what I would of done with the the big display counter. THEY SAVED MY DAY!!!!!!!!

Understanding the costs of hiring a moving company
Moving prices vary significantly, depending on the company you go for and the services you want. Making a move across the country is typically less affordable than moving across town, and moving a five-bedroom home full of furniture is less affordable than moving a studio apartment.
On average, the cost of hiring a mover in the U.S. is $240 to $10,000.
A lot of moving contractors assess their fees by the hour, and some base expenses on the amount of time the work may take. Typical base rates are $25 to $50 per hour per mover, so moving crews that feature two movers and a van or truck may cost up to $100 per hour. Many moving companies also charge additional fees based on loads or mileage above a certain amount.
If you’re moving within the state you live in, general costs for moving are about $1,400 for an average-sized house. Moving out of state can cost $700 to $10,000. The more things you move, the higher your cost is likely to be.
Contact movers in Chicago to ask for estimates for services. Nearly all moving services ask a lot of questions concerning your move to give you the most reliable pricing information they can.
What services can you hire moving companies to do?
Movers can only focus on specific kinds of services, so you must find the best one for your requirements. Here’s a primer that looks at a few of the types of services moving services offer in Chicago.
- Loading, transporting, and unloading. This is the standard option. It usually involves pro moving contractors with a truck. The moving company loads up your furniture and boxes, transports them to your new place, and then unloads them. They don’t box or unpack items or set up your items. Many movers provide this service for longer-distance moves, while most local moving companies exclusively work within the region or city.
- Pod containers. Pods make it easy to take a do-it-yourself slant to your move. Moving services deliver a pod or shipping container. You just load it up at your own pace. Once it’s loaded up, the moving contractor comes and gets it and ships it to your new destination. Once there, you can unload it whenever you want.
- Boxing. Many services provide the moving boxes and padded packing materials needed for a move at an additional cost. They may also provide boxing services, which involve residential moving contractors packing up your belongings for you.
- Unboxing services. Full-service moving services might unbox your belongings, so you can reach your new place to see that it’s ready for you to move on in.
- Assembly of furniture. If you cringe at the thought of people you don’t know touching all your things or deciding where things should be placed, you can still obtain some assistance setting up your new home by choosing a mover that assembles or installs your furniture.
- Special item handling. Unique, fragile, or heavyweight items might require specialty moving services. If you need to move a hot tub or piano, a pricey work of art, or some other unique item, ask prospective moving companies how they plan to take care of the item during the move.
