It is always our goal to give back to the communities that we service. Recently, we had the opportunity to sponsor some children in one of the south side neighborhoods. There is a new neighborhood garden being grown on Chicago's south side by Alexander Movers' very own Gloria Washington. We were able to assist her goal to bring some of the local area children out for the day to learn about growing their own food!
I had to move and called Alexander Movers to help me. I was already stressed with everything I had going but when Alexander Movers got there they made everything so easy. They were professional, fast, and courteous. No one was out of place everyone had a specific job to do and they did it. Even with putting things in the proper rooms they were great.

I'm so sorry for this late review but I used this company to complete moves on September 2020 and August 2021.
I was very satisfied with their service - especially during the 2020 move. Lamar led his very experienced team and they worked fast and hard to complete the job.
The 2021 team was also lead by Lamar who was able to direct his team as needed. Unfortunately this team was mainly teenagers and not so experienced but followed directions from Lamar. The team consisted of Cordell, Curtis, Tee and Garrett.
I would definitely use them if I ever move again. Thank you!

This is by far the worst company I've ever used for a move. I was charge for 4 hours all for them to leave my furniture in the hallway assuming that I didn't have more money. Please don't use this company poor customer service, they don't wrap your items. I'm also reporting them to BBB. This a black owned business with horrible service. Single women please have a man with you on the day of your move.

This was the worse moving experience EVER!!. First: I scheduled an appointment with the owner because the scheduler was out. The owner confirmed my date, but I later learn that the owner made a scheduling error but I ended up being inconvenienced after they had taking my money for a Sunday mover versus a Tuesday move. Second: My time slot was 1pm-3pm. The movers showed up over an hour late without any notification of an ETA. The job was for a 5 man crew but the driver never got out of the vehicle to help. Then the movers sat around to eat/socialize/and spent time on their phones. Third: The movers

Hello Corey - I'm positive this is your company as the move was in a family members name. I've tried unsuccessfully to message you here on Yelp for a few days now and my emails to your associates have not been returned. Hoping you will see this and get in contact with me via the message feature on Yelp.

I would never recommend them to move you . They moved me and my family in October they was late so decided to call and the head person answered the phone so rude and was like I mean it's traffic out here as if I have a crystal ball and I know this already. Finally they arrive in a beat up tapped up truck... fine let's get going I'm ready! I'm near and organized and I even get praise for that from the movers. As time go on I'm looking at the clock because I don't want to run into overtime I can't afford it .. they left boxes in the kitchen and then when I remind

I hired Alexander Movers for a recent move. I rated them 3 because a personality and miscommunication between one or two of the moving staff. While I felt the service was mostly acceptable I encountered an unexpected resistance to my need for organization. I partially felt someone was upset that I was orderly. Overall, I sensed it took them a little longer to move me out, but I factor in the elevator trips in a high rise so I won't hold that against them.
What I didn't appreciate was the one mover raised his voice when I asserted my authority as the person hiring him for the service

I wish there was an option to give this moving company no stars. My hope is that the reviews are read before you schedule your move with this company. This was the absolute worse moving experience ever. I'm going to try to keep this review short, but I don't think that I can and I apologize, but I really want perspective customers to understand fully, the issues that I experienced.
I scheduled a move with this company to move me from the south suburbs to the loop area. I ordered 4 men and a truck for 3 hours, to expedite the move. I did not have a lot of heavy items, as I had

My husband and I hired Alexander Movers for a small move on February 29th after being referred to them by a friend who claimed to have used them several times without issue. We needed to move furniture ONLY 3 bedrooms, living room, and dining room furniture nothing major. We also took down both beds with the exception of 1 because it requires more than 1 person to take down the bed and I couldn't help my husband with that.
We hired 4 guys (so that things could roll as quickly as possible as we had an event scheduled for later that day) and paid for 3hrs. We were told initially that they

Very unprofessional movers. Quoted one price paid over a $1000 for a local move. Movers damage the floor and my furniture. The played a lot while working. They hire a lot of current drug addicts. One guy kept going to the bathroom to use drugs while on duty. Avoid at all cost. They will damage your furniture.

This company was recommended to us by a good friend that had recently used them and was impressed by their service. Upon arrival, the movers were great. We did not have a lot to move, mostly big items. Once we got to our new home, the movers damaged / broke my husbands new treadmill beyond repair. They were very apologetic and gave us all of the information to file a claim. The very next day, my husband spoke to someone from their office that stated they would give us a call later that day or the next date to get all of the information on the treadmill. My husband never heard from them. I then

These guys are timely, efficient, honest and affordable! Each time I have used them to move they exceeded my expectations. My most recent move before Thanksgiving, Lamar and his crew got my move done in less time than we anticipated and all things were in order and ready to go. Now I just have to unpack and watch football!

Don't ever these movers. They came and the two guys did not move me properly. The Supervisor just stood around without working to make the time and payment go up. They broke my bookcase. Threw my stuff I. The truck broke a keepsake. They stole my flat screen TV. I called the owner to get it back and he told me they the supervisor reported it on the truck but they could not find it. I tried to file a police report but the police said it was a civil matter. I could not afford to sue. I spend 250.00 and they tried to say I owed them more. The movers also were rude and argued with me the entire

If I could give this 0 stars I would!! I hired this company to move me on 3/30/18, the time quoted that they would arrive was 12pm, they were 3 hours late, when they showed up they were unapologetic or emphatic that they've disrupted my entire moving day and other appointments that I had scheduled for that day, but that's not the worst part, they didn't use moving pads for my leather sofa and scraped it along the trim of the door moving it out and ruined it to the point I was in tears because it cannot be repaired (keep in mind these same movers moved me into the same place t 2 years

I moved over two weeks ago on June 29th. I had to call Alexander Movers after the original movers I thought I would have fell through. The young lady on the phone was professional and made sure I was well informed. These guys were strong, fast, prompt, professional and extremely courteous. They moved my one bedroom apartment to my home in one hour and 45 minutes. The only down side was since I moved on a Sunday I had to pre-pay for three hours and again they were done in 1.75. The rates are fair so I wasn't too upset.
This company will be my go to, I will always request, James, Rob and Alonzo
