I had a really bad experience with the first moving company I hired and was hesitant to hire another company.

Austin avoided replicating my previous nightmare scenario with another company and his team provided excellent service.

The team was fast, efficient, friendly and respectable, all at an affordable price without any hidden fees or up-chargers.

Would definitely recommend using Low Cost Movers. It made my move stress free with great communication and great accountability.

Needed to only have a few pieces of furniture moved and all other companies were quoting me $709 and up. Low Cost Movers was the only company that charged a reasonable per hour rate and said it should take under two hours. They were right! The movers showed up and had the truck loaded within 25 minutes. When they arrived at our new place they found my desk would not fit in the doorway of the room I was using. They didn't want to waste time taking it apart so they were able to hoist it up through a 2nd floor balcony and through the sliding door. They were careful and took their time. I was

Used this company for a move after a recommendation from a friend. Was surprised to see the 3 stars when I clicked a link to provide a review. I found them to be wholly professional, very efficient and pretty impressive. I guess being involved in the most stressful part of most peoples lives means you're going to take hits for things that aren't really your fault. I've moved plenty of times as I move between jobs and continents and I found low cost movers to be fantastic. They did everything speedily considering they charge by the hour and could have run out the clock a little if

I was very happy with the service that Low Cost Movers provided during my move in the pandemic. They were punctual, efficient, and took special care to make sure that my valuable or delicate items were moved carefully. The customer service prior to the move was also fantastic - Austin was very helpful and kind enough to fit me into their schedule. I would 100% use them again and would recommend for anyone's move!

I had the BEST experience with Josh and Robert from low cost movers! They were very respectful and professional. We had to make a stop between my old apartment and my new house. They were very quick and efficient. We drove from the city to Elgin area then to Elk Grove. When all said and done it was only 5 hours! They did an amazing job even with some tricky furniture! I would recommend this service to ANYONE! Very reasonably priced. High Quality experience!

These movers are amazing!! My brother used them about 6 months ago and they were incredible. When I had to move I knew that they would do a great job and be reliable. I was right! It was the same 2 guys that helped my brother as well. They were funny, kind, and went out of their way to make sure everything was exactly how I wanted it. They are well worth the price and I couldn't recommend them more. I will be using them next time I move for sure!

My sister and I have used Low Cost Movers about 3 times in the past two years. The most recent moves were this past December 2020 for our moves. They are very professional and communicative in the office. The movers work very well together, even while moving me in the middle of a snow storm, oi vey. Those poor guys. They made sure not to track dirt or snow onto my freshly cleaned carpets and even put together my bed frame for me. They were really careful with my big furniture and especially my huge turtle tank. Thank you Josh and Andrey. For my sisters move the week before, she had Chris and

This is the first move of my life where I used movers, and I was a little wary of how it would go. They legitimately tried to complete everything as quickly as possible, and took exceptional care of my things. At one point, there was an issue with my couch being too large to fit up the stairwell, and while I'm making peace with needing to find/buy a new couch, they rigged some sort of system with ropes and managed to bring it in, which was impressive given that my new place does not have a balcony. They worked hard, were affordable and were incredibly respectful and easy to get along with

I would highly recommend Low Cost Movers! They were priced much lower than a lot of their competitors and did an amazing job. Everything was nicely wrapped, loaded and unloaded in a very timely manner. They were transparent and friendly throughout our whole experience. Why pay three times the price for the exact day thing somewhere else...?

Our experience with Low Cost Movers was overwhelmingly positive. The movers were professional and communicative leading up to the move. Austin was friendly, clear and quick to respond to any questions I had. On the day of our move, the movers arrived on time and promptly began their work. Shrink wrap and protective moving blankets were available to protect our items. They were efficient and careful in transporting fragile objects. When unloading at the final destination, the movers helped us arrange furniture and placed boxes where it was most convenient for us. We will definitely recommend Low

We were very happy with their service and recommend them to anyone looking for a hard working, reliable mover. They were especially helpful being flexible and responding in minutes to inquiries as well as being willing to juggle reservation dates/times due to problems related to our new building and elevator reservations.

We used Low Cost Movers on reference from an auction house and were glad we did. They were able to handle my friend's move on a last minute basis and offered ways to save money. Austin, in particular, was fantastic to work with. Highly recommend.

From booking the reservation through the last piece of furniture being moved this experience by far exceeded our expectations and previous moves. Clean trucks and moving team was great they took excellent care of our belongings. I highly Recommend this company for any of your moving needs.

There was a gentleman at this company who deserves special, if unusual mention. We requested a moving job that was out of area, and couldn't be done within our time frame, and Austin was considerate enough to provide us with the name of another service which, as it turned out, worked out perfectly! Such honesty reflects well on Austin, and Low Cost Movers! Thanks again, Austin, you have a heart!

Just used Low Cost Movers to move our family from our condo to our new house last weekend. This was our third time hiring a moving company to move our family but our first experience with LCM. They were as equally competent as our previous moving companies at a fraction of the cost. I was hesitant at first due to some negative reviews here but I'm glad we chose them. They called us the morning of our move with an ETA, arrived within the window they promised, and worked efficiently and carefully. Our two moving men were very competent and worked quickly. None of if our items were damaged. They

If I could rate a negative 5 I would- we used them in July to move a mile - they chipped the paint in the new place but said they would send someone to fix damage after countless emails back and forth with someone named Austin... still no one has come to fix- never again -

Do not, do not, do not hire this company. Really. Don't.

It's not because of the movers themselves -- they were great. Unfortunately, incompetence, unprofessionalism and just plain bad customer service on the part of the people in charge resulted in a major error in planning our move and us being overcharged by hundreds. Numerous efforts to correct this situation have resulted in denial, then blaming us, then a promise to look into it, then a refusal to answer or return phone calls.

In a nutshell: When we initially booked Low Cost Movers for our move a few months in advance, we provided

I have used Low Cost Movers in 2014, 2016 and now 2018. I always had great experiences except for this last move. I'm not sure if there has been a change in management, but I DO NOT recommend them.

They are horrible with communication. There were many instances I called them and had no answer and no response to my voicemails. When I say no answer, that's at different times throughout the day! When I finally got a hold of them, I had questions regarding instructions on how to pay using PayPal. I wanted to avoid the convenience fee they charge when choosing to use credit card. The woman
