With a name like that you would think that they would strive for perfection. They moved my clients…read moreand today I had to help them unpack for 4 hours. What a show! I don't even know where to begin. 1)First, there was definitely at least one broken item that I found just in a couple hours I was there 2)They used gigantic boxes for a ton of little stuff that they just threw in the box. I'm talking a 3-ft tall x 2ft x 2ft box filled with tiny bathroom stuff for one example. Why on Earth would you use such a giant box for a bunch of little stuff, especially when there's things that could spill. 3)"We wrap, protect, and transport everything with care." I found the absolute opposite. There was a whole entire box of fragile porcelain figurines that were placed in a box without any sort of paper or bubble wrap around any of the items and they only threw a wad of paper at the very top. The box where I found a broken porcelain figurine it was just placed amongst other fragile stuff and clothing. Again, no wrapping whatsoever around these fragile objects. 4) Many of the boxes were not labeled as far as the contents and we had no idea what was in these boxes. 5) some of these boxes had words on them and I don't even know if it was English, but I have no idea what they said. And only the top of the box is remarked none of the sides. So you had to unbury all of the boxes just to read whatever gibberish was on the top. 6) they literally just placed the boxes anywhere they wanted. The homeowner tried to direct them to what rooms things went in and it was a complete disaster when I got there today. 7) And before I forget, the most important thing is that they lost their cat! They had a door that was closed and they told one of them make sure nobody goes in here because I have cats in here and they opened the door and the cat ran out of the house and is still missing as of a couple weeks. How are they going to compensate for that? That was only 4 hours today and it was a WhatTF ...one after another. I'm going to be helping them unpack for the next few weeks and I cringe thinking what I'm going to find. Seems like they were a very lazy and unprofessional/ untrained team. I pack as part of my job as well and this was high schooler level. A college kid would do better than this. Major training is needed

I called Zippy Shell when my moving dates didn't quite line up- we were displaced for over a week…read moreand were scrambling to find a storage solution at the very last moment. Jim at Zippy Shell saved us. We needed something FAST, and didn't have anywhere to store a unit ourselves. Zippy Shell was the perfect solution for us. Jim was so easy to work with- a simple text message for pick up/drop off; he responded quickly and was able to accommodate every request. He even dropped off a second storage unit for us late in the evening when we realized we needed more space. I would recommend him to anyone moving- whether into a new home, moving kids to college, or in need of a storage solution.

We recently sold our home and had to be out prior to our new move in date. Not sure of what we…read morewere going to do, someone recommended we get a pod. Great idea! I called many pod companies. The price seemed a little steep to me and there seemed to be charges for this that and the other. But that is what we needed so we were going to have to do it. Until one day I was driving to work and I looked over and saw a Zippy Shell. I hadn't heard about them before. So I called on my lunch break to inquire on price. The woman I spoke with was so kind and informative. She quoted me a cost for drop off/pick up and storage. No hidden fees. It was a little last minute when I called and she said I should reserve my time now to hold my spot and that if for any reason I needed to cancel I just had to call with no cancellation fee. Jim from Zippy Shell in Will County called me and we discussed what I needed. We set up a time and date for delivery. We were able to fill our pod in a weekend. He then made sure we had all the time we needed and set up a time to pick up the pod and take it to their storage unit which is locked with alarm system, and is climate and pest controlled. I let Jim know our move in date and he had our pod at our new home ready for us to unload. The process was so incredibly easy especially during such a stressful and exhausting time. I would HIGHLY recommend Zippy Shell. It will be the easiest part of your move and you won't regret it!

Positives - I got an early appointment slot when other companies couldn't, the movers were polite…read moreand did arrive ~15 minutes after calling to correct the address Negatives - Appointment window changed online with no notice; late arrival due to wrong address - Poor communication from office/management; repeated calls required - Crew appeared unprepared to handle the treadmill despite it being disclosed upfront - Significant wasted time waiting for guidance/additional help; unclear billing expectations - Manager canceled the job mid-move after items were already loaded/unloaded - Furniture left disassembled (bunk bed), screws missing, items left in different locations - Felt rushed during booking (pressure to pay deposit quickly) I booked College Hunks in Orland Park because they had the earliest available slot and I wanted to get the move done early. I called earlier in the day on Friday, compared quotes with a few companies, and clearly explained the job: moving one bunk bed, one dresser, and one treadmill a little under 20 miles from a townhome to a home. My appointment window was originally Saturday 8:30-9:30 AM. At 9:15, no one had arrived, and when I checked the booking link the window had changed to 9:30-10:30 without any communication. I called immediately, and at 9:21 one of the movers called to say they had gone to the wrong address and would be there in 15 minutes. They did arrive about 15 minutes later, and the job "start time" ended up being about 9:45 (which was reflected on the reservation tracker). Right away, the movers were concerned about the treadmill. I called the office to figure out how they planned to handle it and was told a manager would call me. No manager called, and instead a third person was sent out--which was fine--but I did not want to be charged for the ~35 minutes the crew was sitting and waiting for help. I called again and was told I'd be billed appropriately at delivery and that a manager would call "when they had a chance." At 10:35, 50 minutes into the start of the job, I received a call from one of the movers informing me that they were halfway complete and going to exceed the quoted time. He was unable to tell me how long that would take, and told me I would need to wait for a call from management to provide a new quote. Eventually a manager (Tim) called and said they couldn't take apart the treadmill because of wiring concerns, even though the crew had already started. When I asked what my options were, he suggested I pay another company to disassemble it and then pay College Hunks to come back, which made no sense. By this point, they had been on site for over an hour and I was told they had barely done anything--which wasn't true, because they had fully disassembled the bunk bed (see photos) Tim then canceled the entire job while items were still on the truck, and the crew unloaded everything into the garage, not where the items originally were. Screws were missing, furniture was left partially removed from the home. Tim refused to take my calls afterward, and the corporate line was not helpful beyond saying a manager would eventually get back to me. While I was refunded the fee, that doesn't fix the disruption and the mess left behind. The movers themselves were polite, but the overall professionalism, communication, and job assessment were extremely poor. I also felt rushed during booking--they told me I had only five minutes to use the link to pay the $50 deposit, which should have been a red flag. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this company. If you use them, expect major delays, unclear/changed time windows, and the possibility they may not complete the job even after disassembling your furniture.
