Between God and I, and of the truth, I have referred more than 8 persons within a space of 4 weeks to my legit and trusted Account Manager,MRS MICHELLE,she is the only account manager to ever pay me my profit after my first 7days trade of $1000 that I make a successful withdrawal of $11,750. I vowed to testify of her honesty to the public and that is what i have been doing because he deserve more than it. I was bankrupted and left with nothing by fake experts and she came to my rescue. It's already 16 weeks I have been trading with her platform and profit payout is always fast at once click. Now

After multiple emails back and forth, the day of the move comes and they don't show because they forgot our booking. Had to call to get them to show up over an hour late. The guy says he's not going to charge us for them having to wait because we didn't have access to the freight elevator because *they* came late. Would never use them again.

I would never use Chicago Movers. I was walking in my neighborhood and men in a Chicago Movers truck kept cat calling me. And the more I ignored have no respect for women.
I don't know if I would trust these movers around my daughter or my stuff. Save your time/money and go to a business that actually has respectful people.

Glad that I got a hold of them on time otherwise I would have no movers on time. They had 3 people move my one bedroom apartment. They broke my tv when they had wrapped it and now I have a line and big black dot on my tv. They didn't pay anything to fix it. Just fortunate to have movers on my moving day

Stay away! I used Chicago Movers based on a recommendation from a friend, man I wish I had read the reviews beforehand!
Ali (owner/boss/whatever) gave me a quote over the phone of $120/hr for 3 guys. Ali and 3 guys show up and move everything and at the end Ali says he is going to charge me $159/hr for 4 guys. The thing is, I didn't see Ali lift a finger the whole time he was there, he just stood around while the 3 men moved everything but then charged me for his time, without specifying this beforehand.
In addition, many of my items were scratched and/or damaged during the move. There

I had Chicago Movers move me from my condo into a storage unit on May 14, 2018.
First, the two movers arrived almost two hours later than their planned time. Clearly they did not get along and started to argue and cuss at each other in front of me. I had my belongings packed, wrapped and ready to move quickly. One of the movers worked hard while the other spent 10 minutes wrapping a box fan with plastic. Really? Its a box fan. I spoke up and mentioned that he was wasting too much time. He asked me where my boyfriend was- and then told me that if he was a good boyfriend he would've been there

Great service!
They did a wonderful job! We contacted them on short notice and they were able to accommodate us with moving my son out of his apartment on the 31st and into his new apartment the 1st (though basically across the street, but they stored goods overnight). They got there to pick up as well as when they delivered ahead of schedule, with 4 guys. They were quick, courteous, careful and accommodating. Would definitely recommend them.

Originally we had booked another company who somehow messed up our email confirmed move time. My husband found Chicago Movers and they were available. They showed up when they said they were going to and even called us on the way to let us know they were 10-15 minutes away. They got to our place and were ALL BUSINESS, and moved our stuff out with a quickness. It took them about 1 hour 1/2 and about the same amount of time to move in. They were professional didn't destroy anything. They even had to removed the door and promptly put it back on when they were done. Their rates are reasonable

Easy. Fast. Polite. Careful. Efficient. Safe. Very reasonably priced.
We have used these guys MANY TIMES over the last 15+ years and they are terrific !!!
I've NEVER had them damage anything.
Always on time!
They carefully wrap and handle anything.
They often ask my wife if we want them to arrange the furniture for her.
They communicate clearly via email or cell phone.
Great workers - we'll keep using them and we'll keep recommending them!

The bottom line is that Chicago Movers ruined one of our expensive, new pieces of furniture even after repeated requests to properly cover and wrap. Absolute worst experience with movers ever! They also showed up an hour late with no apologies, were incredibly slow, careless and somewhat rude. I was promised we would get either a replacement piece for our ruined headboard or an insurance claim made. Almost 2 months later and Ali (manager/owner) has done nothing even after many, many calls from me. Do not hire these movers. You'll be sorry.

Listen to the other poor reviews and STAY FAR AWAY FROM THESE THIEVES, especially Willie, Eric, Paul, and the "manager"/"owner"/whoever Ali (talked to him on the phone). The 5-star reviews were people who got lucky to not have any problems.
During my move I had about $200 in cash securely clipped into a money clip in my dresser. I left all the clothes and everything else in my dresser drawers when the 3 guys came. They wrapped the dresser as it was in plastic wrap and hauled it away. While in transit across town I realized I had left my cash in the dresser, the same cash I

I received wonderful, fast, professional service from this company when I moved from storage to my apartment about 4 weeks ago. In fact, I am so pleased with my experience that the 1- and 2- star reviews baffle me. I don't know what exactly went down with those reviewers, but I really cannot say enough good things about Ali and his team. They moved everything so quickly, they were great about asking which room to put things (I didn't care where things went actually, which may have helped it all go more quickly), and they were such a nice, polite team. Nothing was damaged or misplaced

AVOID this company! Believe other reviews. We didn't read Yelp first (worst decision) and only chose them because we had next day move in (had moved out a few weeks before for leak) and they were the only ones available (should have taken that as a sign...).
Short story: After paying early (husband was leaving later and wanted to use his CC, so paid an hour before scheduled to leave), Ali, who is a 55-year-old man claiming to be owner (if he is, then eek!), refused to move anything else, screamed that he was not going to work anymore because they had worked too hard, then WALKED OUT of

I had Chicago Movers move my one bedroom apartment yesterday - very happy with the service. Although they were half an hour late, they quickly moved everything out of my old apartment (from the second floor with stairs) in less than 45 minutes. We had to stop and pick up a couple other things at another location and then were off to my new apartment.
Willie, Erick and Deshaan carried a full one bedroom apartment up to my third floor walk up - and it what must have been record timing! They were very polite, kind and considerate with my belongings. I would definitely hire Chicago Movers to move

PLEASE, do yourself a BIG FAVOR and DO NOT book Chicago Movers. They are absolutely the WORST starting with the owner Ali. I had the most horrible experience with them.
First they were 45 minutes late for my move and I had the elevators in my building reserved for a special time.
Secondly, they charged my $40 for wardrobe boxes that were torn and damaged and did not hold up my clothes in the move.
Thirdly, their movers sat in their truck idly for 30 minutes, wasting my time and charging me for that time.
But more importantly, they caused a HUGE amount of damage to my newly painted walls and

I had a great experience with this company; they showed up on time, worked hard and we're able to move two apartments, across town, to a 3-story walk up in about 4.5 hours - amazing!
The team captain, Deshaan, was so friendly and clearly had command of his team. They communicated about each item and because of that, all our items were placed in the right spot and not broken. What I really loved was that his entire crew introduced themselves to me and my boyfriend and made a point to let us know that they were there to make our lives easier and treat our items with respect and care.

Please never ever use this company they are horrible. The manager or owner Ali is a liar and according to his employees a terrible boss. On May31 we were supposed to move movers were supposed to come from 11-1 they showed up at 7 after many calls to Ali we were told 2 trucks broke down later we found out that was a lie. We were promised a truck at 7 am the next day, they showed up at 100. We should have been priority but clearly he didnt care. He never called to say he was sorry or anything i reviewed my phone records and I had to call 27 times. Also when the movers showed up they had a small truck

I recently used Chicago movers to move from a high rise to a first floor walk up. I am so pleased with my experience!
Three movers arrived on time, which was important because I had a small window of elevator and loading dock space reserved in the building I was leaving.
The movers were professional, polite, and friendly. Despite the heat, terrible humidity, and heavy boxes the guys worked quickly, but carefully to get the job done. Everything arrived in one piece and undamaged.
I am a happy camper- except for all those boxes that I now have to unpack. But in all seriousness, I am satisfied
