Unfortunately, my scheduled and confirmed mover was a No Call, No Show! Extremely disappointing since I was depending on him and even planned to give him a generous tip for working with me at the last minute😒

This was my first using moving broker. The only issue we had was the guaranteed time for pick up. I would advise instead of giving a time up front, putting in writing on the receipt say that this time is not set in stone.

Worse experience EVER, and I plan on filing a Better Business Bureau complaint coupled with negative Social Media reviews on various platforms. I was scammed. I was quoted a price and signed for a price based on my items. I was told the price was guaranteed and fixed. When the movers came, they said some AI software predicted that the move would cost another $685. This was outrageous!!!! I was quote 2000 and signed for 2000. I am sue this has happened to other people. All they moved was a bedroom set and boxes. They lowballed the price to get the deal and the on the day of pickup increase the price 685 dollars!!!! Outrageous!!!! This company is scamming people, and it will be reported!!!!

The booking needs to be clearer. I estimated the best I could. My items were moved out of my house and put in storage in a 26' straight truck and was in a 10x20 storage unit. My price more than doubled because I used up square footage of the truck. It pisses me off that I give u square footage and u didn't give me an accurate price. This is what I will tell people. I feel ur schedulers scammed me and purposely gave me the low price because one my stuff. There were also items I disclosed that were not on the list. Casey and all the movers u hired were spectacular. Also when they showed up there was a timeframe delivery date for 2 weeks out from pick up. Had I known that was ur process I could have accommodated, instead u charged me for a straight delivery I believe. Ur quality assurance call should have went over all this. All he asked me is if my list of items was accurate..

Ended up being more than double the quote. Things not put in right areas. The delivery team in general was great. Your sales and operations team? Need work. I don’t need to remind your employees I am a client not a business. I pay you, you don’t pay me, so a little common courtesy and understanding is appreciated. I was talked down to by your operations leader and my contact for the contract went MIA after issues. Good luck. No good review on my end

Illinois Moving Services Are a Click Away
Every move is different. Whether it’s a home, office, or just a few items of heavy furniture, iMoving provides a whole menu of must-have services for moving in and out of Illinois:
Long Distance Moving
If you're looking for the best long distance moving company in Illinois, iMoving can help. With over 1,000 vetted and verified options, we let you pick and choose the right team for your needs.
It can be tough to sort through all the movers out there, and Illinois is a big place. That's why we only allow trustable carriers to join our network. If they aren't up to our standards, they don't make it into our marketplace. And if they're good enough to be in the iMoving network, we always check in to make sure they're staying honest.
Local Moving
If you're moving within 100 miles and keeping it within the same state, don't worry - iMoving has just the team of local movers for the job. Local moving companies in Illinois can be hard to find on short notice, and it can be a tough search if you don't want to deal with any sketchy operators.
Local movers charge per hour, and per mover. This can make collecting quotes a bit of a pain. How mcuh stuff are you moving? How many miles does it have to travel? How bad's the traffic? We'll do the math. All you have to do is pick the mover that you like the most.
Packing Services
Packing is a pain. Between shopping around for boxes, wrapping and loading those boxes, and hoping those t-shirts are enough to keep your fine china safe, it's usually just easier to let the pros take care of it.
But, shopping for packing services in Illinois isn't so easy. You'll need to sift through tons of options, and it can be hard to tell who's legit, and who's a scam. That's why iMoving makes it easy to find packers you can count on. We make sure our packing teams are prepped and ready with the know-how, experience, and quality materials they need to keep your stuff safe.
Storage Services
You may know the square feet of your new place, but do you know how many of those square feet are usable? If you've overestimated your space (or underestimated the amount of stuff you have), you can book secure storage in Illinois with iMoving.
We make sure our storage providers are held to the same standards as our movers. And what's more, we made sure they offer awesome rates and on-site staff to keep your items under a watchful eye. Whether you need it for a few weeks or you need it for a month, our storage services can keep a roof over the excess.
Commercial Moving
You're running a business, and you need to get it moved quick. At iMoving, we've been there before. And we can get you relocated with minimal downtime and disruption.
The best commercial moving companies in Illinois should be handpicked for whatever business you're operating, whether it's a mom and pop shop or a global HQ. That's why we give you a range of options so you can compare quotes from the best of the best.
FAQ
To prepare for a move in Illinois, we recommend taking a few important steps. First, make sure you've got a job lined up at your destination. Secondly, downsize as much as possible before shopping for movers.
If you're doing your own packing, box up your stuff starting with the least-used items, and always pack an essentials bag so you aren't stuck rooting through boxes for your toothbrush or clean underwear.
When you move to a more built-up or urban area, chances are they won't let you park an entire semi truck in front of your apartment.
Your movers will have to park the main truck at a staging area, and use a smaller box truck or van to transport your stuff to (and from) the trailer.
This is called a moving shuttle, and the inconvenience comes at a price. Blame your city council.
iMoving offers a wide range of auto transporters to get your dream garage from point A to point B.
You can only drive one car at a time, and you probably don't want to shove a bunch of moving boxes into your Lambo, anyways.
Fortunately, our auto transporters have you covered - and if you book a covered trailer, they'll have your car covered too.
A Illinois move can cost you anywhere from $320 to $9100 and beyond. It all comes down to how much you’re moving, and how far you’re traveling.
Keep in mind, local movers charge per mover, per hour (with about 2 movers per room), and long distance movers charge by weight (or volume) and miles.
In the moving industry, there are three types of estimates: binding, non-binding, and non-binding, not-too-exceed. When you get a binding estimate, it means you’re getting a flat rate.
The amount on your quote is the amount you’ll pay. Binding estimates are a good sign you’re dealing with a reputable mover.
Non-binding estimates can be adjusted before, during and after a move, but non-binding, not-to-exceed estimates can only be adjusted downwards from your initial price.
