3 weeks ago, my wife and I were wanting to move. We called these guys and made an appointment for us to move Sat morning. So the day before they call us and say hey will be there at 11 am. I said this was fine so I could sleep in. 10:30 rolls around and they called and said they'll have to move us back to 5 pm. Then I called them 1 pm on Saturday, and we did not hear back from them. I left them voicemail's all day on Saturday to reschedule. Long story short I called on Sunday, and they did not show up again. We had to call yesterday to get emergency movers. They had quoted 3 guys for 3 and a half hours was $500.

Description of Work: Large move with 6 movers and two full size trucks. 4 of 6 guys were excellent. One new guy dropped boxes and was careless, damaging items and new home. One other guy had personal issues with other movers and walked out at one point, being replaced by another person. After the move, promises were made by the owner to fix damaged items but in the end, it was just promises and no actual follow through.

Very good job. Only 1 piece of furniture marked up...very small mark from straps. They took apart and setup dining table and queen size bed.Appropriate use of moving blankets and protection of pieces before any attempt to move them to the truck. One item I had requested was not fulfilled as expected. I had asked them to bring a flat panel TV box to move my unit. They did not bring one but constructed on from a mirror box. I was not charged for the box they did not bring.
Description of Work: moved me 2 bedroom apartment to my new home, I did the packing they did the move.

I have to search for movers who have the necessary availability for a move out and move in one week before those moves. This is very difficult and very stressful and very unprofessional of them. I had to call them weeks after I had engaged their services to verify the dates because they did not call me back. When it could not be verified, I was told that they would call back and again they did not.. I was told at that time that I was on the schedule for the previous agreed upon dates. That discussion was on September 4 and on September 8 I was informed that they couldn't do the move on the dates I had requested.
Description of Work: They informed me a week before my scheduled move that they could not move me into my new house on the previously scheduled date.

Description of Work: We did not end up using them as they were the most expensive moving company quote. The representative that came was respectful and helpful, but we went with a different company.

Description of Work: They moved my furniture and other stuffs. They covered the floor with their carpets to prevent scratching. They carefully wrapped the furniture for moving. They worked as fast as they could to be able to complete the moving within the timeline. I truly appreciated their caring of my furniture and their hard work. I would hire them again if I need moving in the future.

The team was fantastic! I got a call the day before the scheduled move to alert me that they would arrive between 8 and 9am. They showed up at 8:45, and the whole team of 4 was there and ready to work. They worked efficiently and carefully, wrapping all furniture in plastic and putting hanging clothes into wardrobe boxes. They put coverings on the floor at the start and destinations of the move, and completed the entire job in about 4 hours, including loading and moving items from a storage locker. They didn't charge any hidden fees for plastic wrap or tape, which has happened to me with other movers in the past. All items arrived without damage, and they happily agreed to move a few items around in the house when items didn't fit quite right. They actually came in under the estimated time, and only charged me for the actual time worked. I would use them again without hesitation.
Description of Work: Moved my belongings from an apartment and storage unit into a 2-story house.

Bob, the owner, was polite and professional. He was able to provide a quote quickly and accurately. The move was exactly what he had quoted. This shows he has been in the business a long time and is fair with his quotes. His movers were also polite and prompt. They were very particular about keeping the home clean and placed mats everywhere they were going to go. They did not ding any furniture or walls either. They took good care of our belongings throughout the move and placed the items in the appropriate room. I would highly recommend them and will use them again if we ever move.

Salesman was pushy, but attentive. good contact/communication. Lots of issues. Ultimately, there were cigarette butts found during clean-up in my child's bedroom carpeting in the basement. We are non- smokers....

$7,000

Response from Illinois Moving Systems
The estimate for this job was for $3,500 (for packing and moving). The total bill came out $5,062(NOT $7,000).The reasoning behind the extra cost was due to a Large hot tub that was explained to the salesman, that the hot tub came THROUGH the house, but it did not fit. So, It had to be hoisted over a balcony which required us to get an extra 2 men out to the home in a short period of time. In my 20 years in business, and over thousands of move jobs, I've never seen or heard of a mover smoking in a customers home. I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you..
