After moving my senior parents out of their home of 54 years to another state, the last task was the physical packing and moving of the house hold items. Based on the reviews, we choose Long distance Movers. My parents lived on the 3rd floor of our family building and held years worth of items including a book and album collection as well as some antique furniture items. I worked with the sales team all the way up until the day of the move and made adjustments based on time and necessity. The move time was pushed back several times, which I remained flexible on. The driver (Mike) called me to let me know they were running late, I said no problem. I could tell in that conversation, (Mike) did not sound pleasant at all. When Mike and Alex arrived, it was confirmed, he was not interested in the job at all. The other mover (Alex) was friendlier. I began to show them the items that needed to be packed and I showed them around the property. Mike said we had more than what was listed on the quote. I advised the quote had be revised several times and we decided to not take some of the larger pieces. There was (1) item located on the first floor (that I sent pictures of) and some items in the basement. After showing both movers what needed to be done, I asked if they would rather park their truck in the alley. They agreed and said they would pull around back. THEY NEVER CAME BACK!!! I called Mike several times and did not get an answer...then the calls went to voicemail. I then attempted to call my sales person Matthew and realized the phone number listed does not allow you to enter an extension number. I then tried the representative who called me to confirm the move. I had to leave VM with both and wait for a call back. They were very surprised and apologetic but could not tell me why the drivers left with no notice. I was eventually told they could not "Accommodate" our needs! I completely understand how overwhelming that task may have appeared to someone walking into a large apartment, that wasn't the most organized or tidy, but isn't that what that $4,000+ quote was paying for. What if we had to be out of the property within days? To leave the job and make me wait for 30 minutes in the alley is completely unprofessional. Moving in general is extremely stressful, now imagine being a couple of senior citizens, one of which is a disable veteran battling cancer and being told their movers left without notice! read more

Highly recommended for anyone taking on a move that's beyond renting a truck, finding some buddies, and moving from one Chicago neighborhood to another. I'm too old to be enticing friends to carry my crap up and down stairs with beer and pizza, it was time to grow up. And Long Distance Movers is the company for that grown up move. First they have representatives that will not only quote your move but also check in and stay as your point of contact throughout the entire process. My rep was excellent in following up and responding to all of my questions and requests. He went out of his way to make my requested dates and times work, and that in itself already makes the costs come close to being worth it. But the movers themselves make it a no-brainer. They were courteous, polite, and professional. They also took a lot of time and care into helping prepare my items to go into storage and take the trip across a couple states. I thought I did well packing but they really improved on my work, rearranging and wrapping items that seemed loose or wobbly. I felt everything was super safe and taken care of when they were done. Good people throughout the company and good practices made my move super easy and convenient and the personal interactions make it completely worth the cost. Highly recommended for moving longer distances. read more

I will never use this company again. Be very careful regarding what the sales person tells you, and definitely read the fine print. Not only did they misrepresent their costs and payment methods, they threatened to hold the items hostage - and my items arrived WET. read more

I recently moved from Chicago to Las Vegas and am very glad I picked Long Distance Movers for the job! Victor, my coordinator is professional, efficient and most importantly honest! Although they are not the cheapest, there are no hidden fees and kept the move time and dates precisely. That is worth the price! He responded to every question and concern I had in a timely and friendly manner. Anne, in the dispatch department is also excellent. She gave me regular updates and made sure all my stuff got to Vegas properly. The movers both in Chicago and Las Vegas were on time, courteous and professional. They cleaned up after packing and unpacking!! All my things arrived in good shape! I cannot thank all of them enough for making a stressful move go smoothly! I would highly recommend this company for any moving needs. They are client focused and do a great job! read more

I (in California) contracted with Long Distance Movers to move my son from Chicago to Boston, including storage for a month. These guys could not have been better. They came on time, beautifully packed my son's household items, even fixed a piece of furniture that was broken prior to the move (!!!!) No better service could be found - honestly. Each time I called the move coordinator (Frank F.) I got prompt, capable and kind attention. Never has a move been this easy (and I've moved across the country numerous times). Excellent in every way, lauded by both my son and me. Highest recommendation!!! read more

I moved from Chicago to Cincinnati. David is my sales. Daniel and Joseph are my movers. The service is very efficient. I asked lots of companies. They are the one and only could pick up and drop off in one week. The price is high but you pay the service. I don't want have furniture deliver while I start working. So I picked them. read more

Just moved from Chicago to California.we have moved 18 times,including to New Zealand.these guys were the best by far. Quick,efficient,no drama,on time ...everything that's important in a move,and trust me I know ! They communicate,monitor and follow up.They also anticipate,a rarity today.If they had more stars I would give it. Whomever is running this company knows what the customer wants and they are delivering.Well done! read more

When moving comes i know everyone gets overwhelmed and just want to get things moved and finished with as soon as possible and that when i found these guys. I asked them for help and they were so on time the day of the moving. They helped me unplug all the wires and started from scratch and got everything done in so little time. I was amazed of the fast work they did and so carful with my belongings.I legit appreciate this company for making my moving way easier then i thought because i was hanging thoughts on how I will be able to move my huge sofas down the stairs and also my refrigerator but they made it possible for me easily. I am grateful that i found this company. I believe for all my moving needs i will be giving them a call. read more

Definitely recommend this moving company! After a year-long stay in Chicago, my husband and I were looking for a fairly priced moving company with a guaranteed delivery window for our move to Boston. Out of all the companies we spoke to, this was the only one with a set arrival time of 10 business days that cost under 5k with packing included. As promised, the movers arrived to Boston in less than two weeks. Everyone involved was on-time, efficient, and professional. It was easy to reach out if there were any questions in the process. read more

This is the worst moving company I have ever used, and I've moved a lot. I hired them based on Yelp reviews to move me from Chicago to LA. They sent a crew who was on their second move of the day who bitched about how much stuff I have, despite having detailed pictures. They ended up making such a fuss and taking so long I had to leave stuff behind from the bathroom and closets. They kept saying they needed more boxes - found out later that many were packed only half full. They packed heavy cast iron pans on top of china and dishes. They didn't properly cover the stainless steel furniture and dragged it along concrete. They destroyed a bookcase and broke a stainless steel chair in half. Every box arrived dented and bashed in. $12000 of damage, by my estimate, but their insurance company refused to cover most of it. Said I should have filed a notice ahead of time that my furniture was handmade and worth more than 1k per item. Didn't cover the bookcase at all as I took pictures and had the company remove as I didn't want to be stuck with a giant broken bookcase. This, despite repeatedly telling the rep my furniture was expensive and specifically asking if I needed to do anything else to ensure coverage. Ended up getting 2k and being stuck with dented damaged high end furniture. Set your stuff on fire before you hire these people. The absolute worst. I am guessing their reviews were paid for as you couldn't do worse than them. I will look into a BBB complaint. read more

So, I get overwhelmed with moving and needed help. A friend recommended me to this moving group I said sure, fine why not. Two dudes show up. My apartment was barely packed up. Thankfully the guys were handy and had a cardboard TV box handy for my 52" flat screen and did a wonderful job wrapping up corners and legs of my giant wood dining room table and chairs. This all took less than 1.5 hours to pack and bring down 3 flights of stairs. Last time I used EZ movers and those half wits scuffed up my leather couch & dropped couple of fragile boxes. It was a swift move to my apartment in west side to storage unit up north about 6/7 miles away. Anyway, highly recommend them! They're professional and they won't disappoint. Thanks Guys. read more

Like most people, I went online to read reviews before selecting Long Distance Movers for my move from Chicago to New Jersey. There are a lot of absolute horror stories with many moving companies, and I have to say Long Distance Movers exceeded all of my expectations. Everyone was extremely professional and a pleasure to work with. They packed my furniture with care and were very efficient. The driver delivering my things was awesome and in contact with me several times while I was waiting for my things to arrive. My furniture arrived on time, and not at all damaged, which is a huge plus. I will be recommending this company to anyone I know who is moving in the near future. Thank you again! read more

Closing on my first home was one of the most exciting things I did this past year. But the thought of having to move all my stuff to the new house turned all that excitement into stress. Luckily for me, a friend recommended these guys to me. Considering I JUST closed on my house, funds were not exactly at the greatest. But the reasonable pricing gave me the chance to spoil myself with their services. Scheduling was easy and they were very careful with my things. Unfortunately I'm not planning on moving anytime soon. So I won't be able to use their services for a while. However, word is they do automotive transport? Maybe I will buy that nice sports car from California.... Well, once the funds are there. read more

Zhenia and the guys really did an awesome job of moving my family. They got there and took care of all the stuff. They really took care of all our stuff. Will use them again when we need to move. Jake and his crew were great. Were totally professional and really hard working. All without a hitch. Thank a lot!!!!!!! read more

I live in Las Vegas and was tasked by family to relocate my mother's belongings from her Chicago apartment to her new residence in an assisted living facility in Connecticut. When reviewing potential moving companies on Yelp i was impressed by the number of comments (and high ratings) for Long Distance Movers on both customer service and friendliness of the moving crew. I decided to give them a shot (along with two other companies I requested a bid from) and would like to add my voice to the reviewers who have already yelped their positive experience. From the very beginning my experience was positive. I was able to arrange for an estimator to view the apartment within two days (more difficult than it sounds since I was coordinating from 1500 miles away), received my estimate within an hour of the estimators inspection and was able to set the date for the "pack" on the same call. On the day of the move the packing team arrived on time and were very pleasant and helpful throughout the process even accommodating some of my last minute requests without fuss. Additionally, for a small additional fee they were able to confirm a specific date and time for delivery to my mother's new residence in Connecticut which was extremely important to me (and my mother). Many moving companies offer a 2-3 day window for delivery, as I learned. From beginning to end the process was as smooth and effortless as a cross country move can be. These guys are good,...you should give them a try. read more

I was super anxious about my move as I was not only moving from state to state but moving to a high rise condo in downtown Chicago...a new experience for me. Michael was my contact at Long Distance Movers and he was wonderful and put up with my constant questions and requests and changes. I received a quote and after all was said and done that's what I paid...there were no hidden charges or additional add on charges that surprised me. The movers had some car trouble en route to pick up my belongings but despite showing up late they still did the entire pack and move and were very professional about it. On my move in all of my furniture was still in its original condition as they did a fantastic job wrapping everything. Unfortunately I'll likely be moving again in the next 1-2 years and I'll definitely use this company again. read more

We used this company to move from Vermont to Chicago three years ago, but I wanted to wait until we unpacked the items from storage before I left a glowing review. They came to the house in Chicago to see all of the items we were going to pack so the quote was accurate because they did it themselves. It took 2 days for the crew to pack up everything and load it up on the truck. Then they drove across the country to Vermont and we met them at our new apartment. Some items were to go to the apartment and the rest to storage. Everything was so well labeled and we had no trouble with missing items. We've finally moved to our new home and unpacked everything from storage and not a single thing was broken. We have 3 sets of china and not a single piece broke. Everything was so well wrapped you will be drowning in paper and blankets (they do charge for the blankets so we're not throwing those things out)! As for fees it was a jaw dropping price, but that did include packing up everything for us. What I learned is that you can negotiate based on other quotes you receive, so that helped some. The crew was great, careful and friendly, which was nice because we spent a lot of time with them. read more

I just moved from Chicago to Seattle and knew that I had to find a way to ship my car across the country. Long Distance Movers made the car shipping process easy, effortless, and it surprising didn't take very long for my car to arrive after it was picked up in Chicago. I was in constant communication with the Long Distance Movers team, which made the process very comfortable and simple. Thanks to everyone (especially Mike) for helping me out!! read more

Called for a quote to move from Gary, In to Queen Creek, AZ. Told offices in AZ were closing down and LDM could not move me. What does office in AZ have to do with pickup and delivering via a truck? Not good. read more

Needed to box and move all belongings in a 1-bedroom from Chicago down to a home in Bonita Springs, Florida, and after reading multiple reviews and getting a number of quotes from several companies, settled on Long Distance Movers. Things could not have gone more smoothly. The team that handled the packing and moving in Chicago was on time and, given the limited window my apartment building gave them, efficient and ultimately ahead of schedule. All electronics, furniture, housewares, etc. were safely and securely boxed, tagged, and moved. The team that transported, delivered and, in some cases, reassembled the furniture and 25+ boxes were equally diligent, professional, and a pleasure to work with. On both legs of the move, LD Movers were proactively contacting me via email and, as the move days approached, via phone. Five stars doesn't do these guys justice. I can't recommend Long Distance Movers highly enough. read more

Long Distance Movers is the most professional moving company in the country! They helped me move twice, long distance, to two different cities and every time was amazing. Let me paint a picture of the process - you reach out to the company and someone will reach out to you right away. Then you communicate your moving situation local, long distance, etc. Then the paperwork includes a detailed list of the number of boxes, furniture, luggage, etc. that you will be moving; plus insurance; and a very fair price for all the services. Then the movers come and always come in at least a pair or more people. They are always very polite and thorough. They come prepared with all the moving supplies if you need help to pack up or not. They pack up all the boxes and throughly wrap all furniture, etc. The best part is that they come with stickers with bar codes and place one on everything item that is moved. Then they scan the barcode so that everything is recorded. Then there are documents to sign. They place everything in the trucks and during drop off they drop off everything in your place and unpack anything they wrapped up. When they unpack everything the stickers with numbers and barcode ensure that everything is accounted for. During both of my moves, I did not lose anything and nothing was damaged. The price you pay for their very professional services are very fair. They make it a point to take care of everyone's belongings like family. You are in constant communication with the company from the moment you email them to the moment you unpack. They will make sure you receive everything in pristine condition. Also, the movers are always super friendly, polite, very helpful, and very hardworking. I strongly recommend Long Distance Movers! In fact, I'm going to use them again to help a family member move long distance. read more

Moving from Chicago to Massachusetts, I was happy with the company's service. The quote is reasonable and accurate (no additional charges once the contract is signed). Everything that is packed is protected well. For every step of the move, there is a team that follows up with me efficiently. David, the representative who coordinated my move, was particularly approachable and helped me with many questions. read more

Hey just wanted to say thanks to Long Distance Movers for doing a great job moving my friend to Las Vegas. I hit up my friend a part owner Matt and he handled everything from there. The move went as planned with on time delivery and no damages, hit these guys up if you are moving!!! read more

Big thanks to Long Distance Movers for making my move easy and efficient. Extremely professional crew, that was very gentle with all my belongings. Couldn't be more happy with the service, highly recommended! read more

This is the worst experience I ever had. I spoke with agent Dan, we went through the list of things, asked the location where I would be moving. I gave them both addresses( where I am currently and where I will be moving). I get a contract and am I'm feeling good. I get a call from Dan asking me to sign the contract and supply my credit card so he can lock in the date because he's getting off soon and won't be in until Wednesday of next week. Sure no problem. I don't get a confirmation email so I call back and I speak with Frank. Whom goes on to tell me that there is a problem with my order. The place your moving to is too remote and we will need to charge you $700 more to move you. Are you serious? l just signed a contract and now your telling me your going to add more money for something that I told to you up front?!?!. Franks says Dan is new and should have told me. Frank says he need to talk to his managers and he'll get back to me. The verdict: they still want the extra 700.00 dollars more even though I was told and the contract says something different. So the price went from $2280 to $2980 in just 30 mins. They won't even honor their mistake. I'm at a lost here. I won't be using their services. read more

I called to get a quote for moving furniture from a two bedroom apartment from Chicago to Dallas. I was told that for this type of a move, the cost will be between 10,000-14,000 dollars!! Are you kidding me???? I have called several places and was quoted around 4-5 K, which is way more on par with the average cost of a long distance move. Laugh out loud, I will not be doing business with this company for sure. read more

Hired LDM to haul a 5x10 storage unit amount of things from Chicago to California. They were very well priced compared to my other estimates. At the pickup they went above and beyond storing my belongings and communication was very good. They allow you to hold items for 30 days free after pickup if you don't want them delivered right away. I would recommend and use them again. read more

Never had to move so much stuff and all in all within a short time. These guys handled business and kept things simple and effective, and all my furniture was handled with care. Great job, and thank you ! read more

Amazing job and affordable! These guys are so accommodating to your needs, what more can you ask for. Cheers.

I helped a friend a few weeks ago to move back to Boston from Chicago! We used these movers since it was recommended by a friend. Awesome staff they took care of pretty much everything! If you're moving long distance call these guys! Your stuff is always in good hands! read more

Patrick, Chance, and Gustavo did a great job moving my stuff. They were professional, on-time, and wrapped my furniture well. I haven't yet experienced the second part of my move since my belongings will be stored, but I'm very happy so far with the move-out experience. read more

I would recommend this company to anyone in need of trustworthy movers. My movers were on time and took their time with all of my delicate items. They made my task of a long move very easy and it went smoother than I imagined. Thanks! read more

They helped me move from the South Loop Chicago to Oak Brook. They were extra careful with all my belongings and didn't hesitate when I asked them for special requests. read more

Really great guys, had to move apt and also move stuff from a storage unit to my new place. It was so hassle-free that I would definitely recommend to anyone that needs moving help. 5 starts for great service and attention. read more

I was helping a family member move some furniture and boxes from Boston to NY for a new job position. We never really needed a moving company before and didn't know where to start. Find this company by accident and even though they were not the cheapest they were very reliable and extremely helpful. They even brought boxes and taped them for us. I would highly recommend them in the future! read more

I am glad to have trusted the yelp review for the cross country move from with Ldm. Highly professional and the move went through without a glitch right from packing(Adrian was amazing) to the unloading of items.we were on our way back into the town when the delivery arrived. We would be late by 3 hours but the delivery person was v.sweet to wait for us and there were no extra charges for the wait too! I was put in touch with Jake who is very professional and always available. One thing i really liked about them was that there was no hidden fees. The estimate Jake mentioned over the phone after going through the inventory and Adrian doing the in house estimate was the exact amount I paid at the end.not a single penny more.its difficult to get reliable and no fuss moving companies like Ldm nowadays.Thankyou guys for making my cross country transistion a smooth one.look forward to working with you all in future again! read more

I had a great experience with Dan and his crew. I moved from Michigan to New York this past summer and they made the move really easy for me. I had to schedule my move only a few days ahead and was a little concerned that I wouldn't be able to book the date on such a short notice. Mark, my contact person at Long Distance Movers, really worked his magic and made it happen. The move was smooth. I had a few boxes of personal belongings, some home appliances, a piece of bedroom furniture and a couple chairs. All of my belongings were delivered to my new address on time and damage free. When I was packing some of my stuff that I decided to pack on my own, Mark shared with me a few tips that I found really helpful in avoiding damages during transportation. They packed my microwave and furniture and I was impressed. The packing was quick and they handled it with care. read more

I recently moved from Boston to Chicago and Long Distance Movers provided a seamless and easy moving experience at a fair rate and guaranteed rate. The pick up in Boston was on time and the movers were friendly and professional. They packaged fragile pieces securely and everything arrived in one piece in Chicago early. The movers in Chicago were equally friendly, professional and fast. Can't recommend them enough! read more
