TL/DR: Jose is a smooth talker but will bail on you without notice and become unresponsive the day of the move. Just starting out, doesn't have experienced staff or know-how. If Angelica, Heo, or Anthony are part of your crew, you will want to make other plans. Friday May 31 we called Jose explaining how our original mover, from St Louis, had a medical emergency. Jose was sympathetic and tried to squeeze us in. On Saturday, his crew had said they would arrive between 11a and 1p with a big 26 foot truck. No one showed so we called. The big truck allegedly was stuck on another job so he would send a smaller truck but work out the rate. We were only moving 2 miles away so we rolled with it. The small truck arrived at about 2p (hour late). The crew (Angelica, Geo, Anthony) came in to our home. They looked around, then THEY LEFT BECAUSE THE JOB WAS "TOO BIG FOR THE TRUCK". I clarified that their boss Jose towas well aware of the size of the place, we sent him photos, and they had a small truck because the big one was stuck on another job. They didn't seem to care. Packed up the truck and left. I call Jose irate. He claims the crew was strong arming him for more money. At the time I believed it... Now I obviously know Jose is full of it. Either way, it's clear he doesn't have long term staff, just people off the street with a handful of blankets and maybe a hand truck. He said another crew would come there afternoon... They never did. The original crew left a dolly and hand truck in my garage because they are incompetent. They were gonna send someone to pick it up at like 645p... He came around 9pm... Again, to pick up his own equipment. Saturday night, I had a conversation with Jose. He promised to make it right. Again, being a gullible fool, I believed he would arrive between 12 and 2p as he said he would. He also made a big point about how he himself would show up for the move. Sunday, he kept sending me updates on how the morning move was going. Around 2pm he said that his crew was going to grab lunch and then arrive to start the move. Then... Radio silence. My wife and I called 10 times... No answer. Eventually he texted my wife a referral to a friend of his in the industry. That friend told us that Jose was starting out and had bitten off more than he could chew. It's nice to want to try to squeeze in a job to help some folks... But it's just cruel to leave people hanging... And then to be too scared to answer the phone when they call. Attached screenshots of the texts... We had some phone calls along the way. We we're lucky in that our move date was flexible and I had some awesome family to help me move boxes. But Jose and Expeditious Movers are simply unreliable in a business where so much depends on a tight timeline. read more

This person, Jose, showed up 2 hours late & 1 man short. He took advantage of my elderly parents who do not speak good English as well. Goes to show the guy he is. EDIT: I FOUND OUT HE ONLY TIPPED HIS WORKER $12!!!! AND KEPT $700!!! THE OWNER!!!! UNREAL! 3 guys for$115/HR or 2 for $85/HR on a Monday. Was supposed to be morning but he showed up in the afternoon. With only 1 text indicating he has "truck problems" He promised me 3 guys to get the job done faster. He took advantage of my parents, who do not speak English very well, & tried to over charge them. My mom ended up giving him $75 more than he deserves because he LIED about higher prices on a Monday? He told me Mon-Thurs is cheaper than weekends (as most places are) He NEVER sent over contract, we had verbal agreement to $115/3 guys/hr. He told me it's $30/hr for 3rd guy so $85/HR usual. BUT, that only applies on the 4th or something or other. He is a LIAR & con artist. I do not trust him nor would I use him again!!! If you do, get EVERYTHING WRITTEN because he will high jack the prices for "travel, Special Monday fees" etc It is seriously a joke. So aggravating all the excuses he used to price gouge my elderly parents. SMH. Took 6 hrs to move a 2 bedroom apt to a storage unit down the block when he promised a much shorter time frame. ALSO--- EDIT--- I am willing to edit this review but I'm waiting for Jose to call me back? He seems to have ripped off my mom & not wanting to answer my calls. See his side & see if he offers anything but so far he grabbed $$ from an elderly woman & took off. read more

Very disappointed. Jose helped with and interstate move a few months ago. He forgot to get my washer and dryer but I realized that only after paying the full amount. Even-though it was his mistake he asked me for more money to get the washer and dryer. I paid him more. He picked up the washer and dryer and he said he can help me to sell and and give me the money after selling it which I should not have agreed to. Later her never answered my phone or text. So finally I lost my money as well as my washer and dryer. read more

This review was long overdue. I took the services of Expeditious Mover's on 10/26/2018 and am so so happy with the service they provided. Initially it began with getting the quote and Chapree was always there to respond to my messages on Yelp. Within half an hour of asking a question I used to get response from Chapree. On the day of the move Jose called me half an hour before mentioning they were on their way and would be there on time. Sharp at 10:00 they were at my apartment. They were a team of 3 and were very courteous to me and my family. All the 3 had always had a smile on their face and within a blink of the eye the whole house was empty. Such fast was their packing and moving my stuffs into their truck. We even added 2 more boxes while they were moving the stuff and they took them as well without even frowning. They got my queen size bed and child's crib disassembled. The destination was bit tricky but again with a smile on their face they were able to get stuff into my new place within no time. Even the assembly of the bed and crib were done by them. Jose was very attentive towards the movement of stuff and made sure nothing got damaged (stuff as well as the apartment) while the moving was done. He also has lot of innovative ideas up his sleeves. The last thing that a person would want is movers who are frowning or complaining and I didn't face any thing of this sort. What I got was pleasure in working with them and I didn't even know how the moving went by. Next time when I have to shift my house I know where to contact and there is no need for me to check with different movers. Expeditious Mover's is whom I am going to go directly. Also I would like to highlight is the calculation of expense for the moving. They have a very simple calculation and no hidden charges. What they messaged me same amount they charged me. I was quite relieved. The other movers whom I had contacted came up with big quotes and calculations which I might not have figured out in this lifetime. Once again thank you Jose and Team of Expeditious Movers for making my move pleasant and it was a pleasure working with you. Your service was the best!! read more

I would have to say this company and these guys are hard workers best experience I've had five different moves within the city these young guys came instantly started grabbing boxes before me and Jose finished our conversation half of the boxes were gone these guys rock would highly recommend them read more

Jose and team were incredibly easy to work with: fast response time, thorough support in planning how many movers would be needed and transparent and very fair in costs. I've recommended them to other friends in Chicago who are moving! read more

DO NOT HAVE THEM FOR YOUR UPCOMING MOVE. I was referred to this company through my neighbor who gave them rave reviews. Yesterday when I spoke with Jose, he was professional and friendly over the phone to the point where I wanted to book my move with him. We confirmed and I gave my location. The movers were supposed to arrive between 9-10 am. Jose told me they would contact me to let me know when they were on their way and give me a ETA. Never received that text or call this morning. So I texted Jose, and I never got a response all morning. I am reasonable person, although I need to move if something unforeseen or a mistake was done I would have been willing to push my appointment or even reschedule for an early morning appointment. It's now 3:15 pm, 6 hours later and no one has got to me. I have called over 10 companies and they all said it's too last minute to help me, and that it doesn't work. So please DO NOT USE THEM! There is no communication at all (an apology, an update,and you will end up like me... hugely screwed over on my big move day. And never even reached out. read more

These guys are so fast and professional. From their initial phone consult to their execution, everything was so pleasant. I will most definitely be calling them for any future moving needs. read more

Jose and his guys handle my move very professionally. My husband has health issues that prevented him from being able to do the move himself. There were a couple of hick ups but things were taken care of right away. Their rates were fair and in my budget and I would recommend this company to others. read more

Worst experience ever!! They never showed up!! I scheduled my move a month in advance. I checked back with Jose twice during that time and was assured that everything was set. The day before my move I talked to him and was told that they needed the pickup & drop off address again due to a computer issue, but everything was all set. I gave him both addresses again and thought we were set. I got a phone call in the morning telling me that they would be at my house in an hour or so. An hour later I got a text message stating that they were 2 minutes away. An hour later I called, since they were not there and was told that they were pulled over and had a safety sticker issue and that Jose was on his way to pick them up in another truck so that they could complete my move. Two hours later I started calling again since no one had come yet and got no answer repeatedly. In the meantime my power was turned off since I had thought that we would be gone by then and I lost all of the food in my refrigerator. By 4pm I started calling other moving companies and was finally able to get one to come on Wednesday morning and take care of my move. Then to add insult to injury at 4:30 I finally get a call from a driver (who has no idea what has been going on) telling me that he is on his way to the yard to pick up a bigger truck to come and get us moved. Then he calls back and tells me that they don't have a bigger truck so they will being the little 14' truck and they might be able to get everything on it. I've moved enough times to know that my 2 bedroom apartment will not fit into a 14' truck and tell him this. So he says that they have reduced my moving rate by $10 an hour to help. But now we have to make 2 trips that are 61 miles each way so it's actually going to cost me more money....no thank you!! I would recommend this mover to my worst enemy!! read more

Very professional, no hidden fees 2 men and a truck charged me double. Fast no damage to anything. Would highly recommend them.
