Henry and his team were fantastic! Very professional and took the time to make sure everything was protected and ready to go into storage for 6 months. He even gave me some ideas how to pack up some odd sized items to save space (and therefore long term storage $$). read more

This is the fourth time I've used Move-Tastic and if/when we move again, I'm definitely calling them first. Pros: *The online quote process is thorough and easy to use. *Need a question answered or quote changed? Super easy when calling the company. *With each move, the movers called prior to heading toward our move-out location and arrived within the quoted start-time range. *New for this move: I was pleasantly surprised to receive a text link to track the movers' location before they arrived and when the trucks were traveling from the move-out location to the move-in location. And the tracker worked! *The movers worked quickly and efficiently. *With each move, there's at least one quiet worker and one super friendly/enthusiastic worker--and they're all incredibly kind despite the heavy lifting. Shoutout to this move's guys: JT, Roderick, Nate, Hank, and Nicolas! Cons: Just one: If you like the Green Bay Packers, you might be offended by one of their (hilarious) trucks. read more

We've scheduled moves with Move-tastic multiple times and every time they do a fantastic job at a speedy pace. Ben, JT, and Marco we personable and professional, asking great questions and keeping me in the loop throughout the process. Everything arrived in great shape and under the originally quoted time. Highly recommended and worth every penny. read more

I can't recommend Move-tastic enough! Henry T.'s team was absolutely fantastic--communicative, timely, and professional from start to finish. I had just purchased a condo and recently had the floors and paint redone, and without me even having to say a word, they immediately brought up how they'd take extra precautions to protect my new home. From the start, they laid down additional floor coverings and padding, showing such care and attention to detail. This move was no small feat--heavy furniture, delicate antiques, and artwork, all being carried from a second-floor unit to a third-floor walk-up with no elevator. What would normally take my family and me an entire weekend, they handled seamlessly in just over five hours. They made an incredibly stressful process feel easy, and I couldn't be more grateful. If you're looking for movers who are efficient, thoughtful, and truly take pride in their work, Move-tastic is the way to go! Highly recommend! read more

Literally had my mother in law cheering for them in awe of getting our large sofa down a narrow set of stairs. Never seen anything like it - can't recommend these guys highligh enough Hilarious trucks too :) read more

I decided to go with move-tastic to relocate my 8000 square foot home furnishings into storage pods. Nick was the one I coordinated with, and he kindly assessed all my items and provided a quote. Dante, Antonio, Mathew, and Jaylen were absolutely amazing. They put in a lot of effort, handled my belongings with care, and completed the job quickly. I plan on using the same crew when it's time to unload my storage pods. read more

Davaglin did a great job picking up our boxes--let us know when he would arrive, was on time and efficient.

Recently moved out and into move tastic storage while my partner and I look to purchase a house. Arfin, Thomas and Brian were early, and made the process as painless as possible, keeping me updated on what was going on the whole time. They had no issues working in a high rise, and were kind enough to take some larger items to the basement dumpster for me. I think for what they charge you get an excellent service and I'm looking forward to using them again when I'm ready to move my things out of storage. Thanks guys! read more

George and his crew are wonderful! We had awkward bookshelves, standing desks, white chairs and an incredibly heavy quartz dining room table to move across town. They were helpful, considerate and careful. We just had the wood floors redone so they started to help us put furniture pads on the legs of ALL our furniture including our kid's cubbies. We would highly recommend George, Ivan and Travis for your move! read more

I'm not really sure why this company has such positive reviews. We hired them for packing and we've never been ripped off so badly. They charge by material used which motivates them to use a ton of unnecessary material and get it done quickly. So they packed very quickly, and used an insane amount of material, and relied primarily on small boxes rather than large or medium (more boxes more money). When we got to our destination we saw that some boxes only had a couple of things in them, and things that were not fragile whatsoever were wrapped up in paper. Looking through reviews I noticed another reviewer had the same problem with them meticulously packing every tiny thing in tons of paper. We ended up with an overwhelming amount packing paper and boxes to dispose of. It was a nightmare to sort through and get rid of. Rip off. read more

The entire Move-tastic team was incredible to work with! Friendly, professional, communicative, and efficient! Scheduling and estimating process was a breeze and the moving team...THE MOVING TEAM! I literally can't say enough good things about the guys that completed our move. Dante, David, Curtis and Matthew were AMAZING. They muscled through a huge job with professionalism and courtesy the entire time. Their attention to detail and sheer strength were impressive and made an otherwise stressful day, pleasant! In a world where customer service is often nonexistent, this business is a refreshing surprise. You will not be disappointed. Highly recommend! read more

What started out as a good move, quickly took a nose dive. The team assigned to us were headed up by a seemingly knoweledgable foreman, but as the loading of the truck began to slow down considerably within the first 2 hours of the move (of an estimated 4-5 hour move) we were informed that they are training one of the members, so its going to take some extra time. In addition to that, the crew forgot their own tools and kept asking for ours, AND they ran out of packing supplies before they could finish properly wrapping and taping up the items that needed it. When they arrived with our stuff at our new place, they were incredibly slow, (my girlfriend and I were walking around with scissors and box cutters taking tape and padding off furniture to try to speed things along) The whole move took well over 7 hours and they spent too much time on things that could have been solved easily (like removing legs from a couch to get it to fit in the door) We did complain multiple times and FINALLY got some of the time refunded (only 1 hour though) but then we discovered (once we were all settled in) that our living room TV was busted (we hadn't turned it on yet as we have two TVs and hadn't finished up with the lower level yet) I texted the image to the company and received no response, and I have also left two voicemails and no call back. It feels like since they "wrapped up" with us, there is no concern now to pay attention. Definitely would not recommend Move-tastic ever again. Up front they are pleasant on the phone and seem to have it together, but in reality they do not do a good job. read more

Move-tastic! - Movers Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I'm writing this review AS these fine young men working. I'm impressed with their speed, efficiency, strength, and timeliness. They also wrapped lots of out furniture with blankets and or padding. Worked with a lot of care, we're very pleasant and polite. They're moving us out of one apartment, transporting our things, and moving them into another for around 800$, 3 movers with disassembly and reassembly of all out furniture. We had David, Kareem, and George read more

Absolutely fantastic move from the first contact via their web form. Followed up with clarifying questions in the estimate to provide accuracy. Super friendly and great with our stuff! Worked their asses off hauling up and down multiple flights of stairs in both locations. Checked in regularly with any questions to ensure our needs were met. Came in hours and hundreds under estimate. Overall just really great folks would hire again and again. And again. Also super appreciate their sales approach. I filled out a form online, they emailed with estimate and let it ride, with a brief email follow up a few days later. Practically every other company immediately texted, called and emailed multiple times a day, if not hourly. I NEED A MINUTE to think, compare, discuss. I had to block numbers and even send one message directly requesting not to be contacted again via any method of communication. Everything about this process was ideal. read more

These are kind and friendly people to work with! They are organized, efficient, and professional. I would recommend them to anyone!

These wonderful people moved my son yesterday. The day started at a storage locker in the northern burbs then a trip to Ravenswood to load a 4th floor walkup and move to a 2nd floor walkup also in Ravenswood. The two young men were so genuinely friendly and efficient. Could not have been happier. Great experience. Would use them again. read more

Minus 5 stars! Stay away! This was a nightmare experience. A 4-hour move took over 7 hours because of complete incompetence and inefficiency and the "lead" was vulgar, crude and volatile. We were actually afraid of him! Multiple items were damaged, broken, destroyed, and left unwrapped even though Move-tastic came a couple of days before the move to check out the stuff I had packed, confirm the estimate and completed the packing themselves. At least 3 boxes were not delivered at all and the overall loss and damage will cost me over $2,000! read more

I decided on using Move-tastic for my move a few weeks ago based on their customer service, fair quote on pricing, and on how organized their team/process was. Communication was fantastic- they made sure to answer all my questions and check in with me several times before the move. The movers couldn't have been better and they finished ahead of the scheduled time. I cannot recommend them enough!! read more

Thank God for Move-tastic's packers. D'evion, Isiah, & Sergio serviced my parents packing needs today, and everything went smoothly. My parents are older, and moving is not something they are looking forward too, let alone packing up their entire home. So, it was our first time using a packing service, and I am glad we did. We were given a window of time in which they would arrive, and they communicated with us when they were headed our way. The guys were gentleman. They were polite. They were organized, and they looked professional. They asked questions when needing clarity, and they did a superb job handling my parents possessions with zero incidents. We will be utilizing this service again. As a company, I do think the transportation fee is a little high, but still worth the convenience. Move-tastic communicated with us, so we knew what to expect. Hopefully tomorrow's move, with Move-tastic movers go just as smoothly. read more

I've been waffling about this review... let me start by saying just about everything arrived at my new place in one piece, which was great, but the move itself was strange. I hired them to both pack and move. On day one, the foreman explained how the day would go, but started off by telling me with the crew around him that they typically get $100 tip per person to help with their pay. Um, if that's right, the scheduler never mentioned it - and it's way above what is typical, but I felt pressured to pay it.. both days. Then the packing. I had the same problem others have mentioned - huge amounts of paper with very little in the boxes. For example, I found a bunch of paper still in the plastic wrapper just tossed on top of all the other paper with just two small flower pots in the box. Really? The day of the move it started snowing just as the trucks arrived at the house. They rightly put salt down on the steps, but then did little to nothing to protect my floors from all the salt and snow that they tracked in. I'm still - 2 months later - trying to get the salt film off my wood floors. read more

Three years ago, I used Move-Tastic for the first time. When it came time to move again, I rechecked the Yelp reviews and noticed a few duds. Such is the tyranny of online opinion. I considered another company, but I remembered how Move-Tastic made the grueling nightmare of moving such a breeze back in 2014. And if that kind of service doesn't earn repeat business, then I am some sort of disloyal gargoyle. I went with Move-Tastic again. And if it's possible, I was more impressed than the first move. 2014: Moving out of an apartment with an elevator into a storage unit with an elevator. Easy. 3 hours. 2017: Gathering all my packed and stacked belongings from that aforementioned storage unit, scooping up all my wife's belongings from a 2nd floor walk-up apartment, and moving into the 3rd and 4th floors of a walk-up condo with the narrowest freakin' hallways ever constructed by man. Our new condo is awesome, but the architect was some sort of Marquis de Sade. You literally cannot get a queen mattress box spring up the stairs. WHO BUILDS THAT? Anyway, the Move-Tastic team tackled the stairs with all the smaller items, including my stupidly heavy weight set, unwieldy bookcases, and dressers filled with junk. And then... the moment of reckoning. We had those box springs that wouldn't fit, along with my sectional, a couch, and a huge round chair that couldn't get up the stairs. The team called HQ and HQ called me. They said they could hoist the furniture up with some additional manpower and an additional $50/item fee. I was curious about how that would work. I shrugged and agreed. Two additional guys arrived for the hoisting. Unfortunately, Move-Tastic HQ had sent them with a hoist kit that didn't contain ropes. Shame on you, Move-Tastic HQ! Anyway, the guys sucked it up, ran *back* to HQ and returned with the ropes we needed. And then I witnessed the most incredible goddamned physical feat I've ever seen. The guys hooked up our stupid, giant furniture with ropes, stood on our balcony and straight-up lifted it up 4 floors with brute strength. This was unbelievable. When a couch would reach the balcony's edge, the team really had to trigger their Hulk rage to flip the thing over the railing - all the weight was concentrated on the railing itself, so there was no leverage. I watched sweat pouring in buckets off these guys. When they were finally able to get each piece up (as I stood slack-jawed in amazement), they had to rotate it (still on my balcony) until it was in position to fit through my balcony door. And they did it. With. Every. Single. Piece. Think of rotating an entire couch while you're standing on a walkway the size of a backyard pool diving board. They did that. Un. Real. And the most incredible thing is that I never once heard these guys complain. As we watched them sweat and strain for 15 minutes trying to get one particularly problematic couch over the railing, my wife and I were ready to throw in the towel. We'd let the couch go and these guys could go home. But where we were ready to give up, Move-Tastic refused to surrender. They accomplished the impossible. I give them my highest recommendation and I suggest you give them your business. My sincerest thanks to Devin C, Andre L, Jamell J, and Nate G who helped us all day and Mike Y & Evan W who rode to the rescue for the hoisting. These dudes have straight-up X-Men mutant levels of strength, agility, and endurance. read more

Bummed after seeing all the great reviews. Quoted way less, then charged me $845 to move my one bedroom.

My mom has been having health issues for the past year+ and things finally came to a head last month, which resulted in me needing to move her stuff while she was in the hospital. My mom is afraid of change, so coming home to a new place is going to be jarring. As such, I tried to stick with things she was familiar with, including the local mover she has used in the past. Unfortunately, they were booked and at the time, I believed I was under a tight time crunch. I literally booked the move about 3 days ahead of time. When I looked at the movers out there, I decided to hire Move-tastic because of the great reviews. While I'm normally a bargain hunter, I wasn't going to risk my mom's stuff getting broken or damaged; I would never hear the end of it. Move-tastic was very communicative. They arrived when they said they would, reviewed my quote with me, and got to work. They were careful with everything and it all went smoothly and the three guys on the job were incredibly nice. We've unpacked everything and nothing I've seen is broken or damaged, even the glass panes from her curio made it in once piece. She's not home yet, but I hope having her things in a new place makes the adjustment a little easier. read more

I move. A LOT. For various reasons. Anyways.. Move-Tastic! Did our most recent move. They communicated SO WELL about every detail, had no problem changing the date a few times, and gave me a thorough breakdown with my estimate. Adding and removing items from the list was so, so, so simple. Move day: they called me 30 minutes ahead of time, arrived exactly at the time they said, and immediately got moving. They were quick and efficient. Even with wrapping up EVERY PIECE of furniture, the move time came in significantly under the estimate. All of our items arrived in perfect condition. I cannot recommend these guys enough. You definitely want to work with them! read more

These 3 young men where absolutely awesome. Rite on time , I had saved 4 hours for them to go one building to a other, took them 3 hours. Helpful and very careful with our belongings Thank you Thank you Thank you read more

Need to correct my earlier review. Books were not lost--just misfiled by me. Lamp did lose a turn knob which has proved difficult to replace, but great job all things considered. read more

We have moved 3x with Move-Tastic over the years, and have had nothing but positive experiences. We recently used them again this past Saturday and had an amazing crew of JT, Rashad, and Vald. They had great customer service, even interacting with our 11yr old son. They hustled and were extremely hard working, careful but also efficient. They helped us move some items to a nearby storage center and then also into our new place and the move took a total of 2.5hrs. We will be using Move-tastic again next year, after our new home is built! read more

Before my move, I paid a wrapping fee. This led me to assume that things would be wrapped before they were moved. Wrapping for my past moves included the mover using moving blankets and shrink wrap, among other things. During my move with Movetastic in September of 2019, like usual, I was packing up to the last minute. I was busy so I trusted the movers, particularly I trusted that the important and fragile things would be wrapped and protected. I wasn't keeping an eye on what they were doing. A big mistake. I had a bunch of moving blankets and shrink wrap and used that on the things that weren't that important. I figured the movers would do a professional job of wrapping all the important stuff. It was only when the truck was being unloaded that I realized NOTHING WAS WRAPPED. I cringed when I saw them unloading the truck with none of the important furniture wrapped. Nothing was wrapped except the few things that I wrapped when I was packing. I asked one of the guys about it and he said, we're very careful. In the weeks after the move, I discovered that three or four things were damaged, including the most expensive piece of furniture I own. This dresser made it through three moves unscathed, but not this one. It has a big scratch on one corner. It looked like a brick wall had scraped it. This was also the first time I had my bicycle moved by movers. When I got on it about a week after the move, I realized two spokes were broken, and a wheel was so bent that it had to be replaced. The repair cost me over $250. Apparently, the bike was unfastened and unwrapped during the move and either something fell on it or it flopped around in the moving van. I didn't buy insurance because I thought, as in past moves, things would be wrapped. They did pay me some money for the damaged stuff but it was a minimal amount that didn't come close to fully compensating me for the damage that was done. Under no circumstances would I use Movetastic again. read more

We just moved a couple of weeks ago and had a great experience with Move-tastic. I recommend them. They were great on the phone in terms of estimates and so forth. They were accommodating in terms of a special pick up situation we had. They were on time and so forth. Most of the crew were great in terms of being courteous and helpful and responsive. They probably took a bit longer than I feel they could have with a break between locations and just some of the crew taking it a bit easier than others, but overall this was a successful move in working with a great group of folks. read more

My experience with Move-tastic was fantastic! Helpful from my first phone call to the day of my move. They were so nice, professional and down to business. I was worried that it would take forever to move out of our 5 bedroom home in Lincoln Park but our movers were constantly in motion and accomplished my move into storage smoothly. Four months later Move-tastic moved us out of storage and into our new downsized home. I have recomended them to many of my friends who have also had great experiences. Chloe helped me coordinate my move and couldnt have been more helpful. Highly recomended! read more

The quality of this company is crazy I rate it-0. They destroyed my items, chair, desk and dishes. Glasses etc. They settle with me for $69.00. I hate this company. The Manger will be sued. Young men who need to be trained. I lost over $7,000.00 in items. Lost 2 boxes with new items printed on each boxes was stolen. read more

So... I've never really believed in paying others to move my stuff. Hiring movers is expensive and you really do pay for the added convenience - though having said that, I'd do this a million times again with Move-Tastic. These guys don't mess around. When you sign up online, they give you an estimate based on how much is in your house, how many rooms you have, travel, and time. They showed up early and called before coming which was great. They wrapped EVERYTHING and went over the estimate before they started. Super friendly, fast, and careful with all our stuff. They weren't able to get one couch in but they tried everything they could. Their estimated quote came in under what we expected to pay so that made it all the better. Job well done and we would definitely hire again. read more

These people wasted 1/2 a day of my very precious time making sure I fill out forms that, in the end, couldn't use. Why? Because even though I got a "human" on the phone in the early AM, he failed to tell me that these dudes can show up whenever they want in a 4 hour window. So if you reserve an elevator in your building forget it!! They can come at 1:00 or 5:00. Whenever it's good for them. I see Schleppers doing much more efficient job at this. Also, making the person fill out a long form of every item so they can approve an estimate when they feel like emailing it to you--not efficient or smart way to to biz. Anyway--good idea executed poorly. read more

They not only stole from me, but they also damaged my items by dropping and not properly wrapping or reassembling them. The fender / reflector of my antique tandem bicycle was crushed in preventing the wheel from spinning. The whole move was a joke. Now, they're making me complete claim forms twice, once for them and once for their 3rd-party claim service company. Enough is enough; hence, this review. I'm so frustrated because this move has wasted so much of my time. Unbelievable and disappointing. read more

This was our second time using Move-tastic and they continue to impress. They've helped us with loading and unloading services in our moves, and make you feel assured with their professionalism, consideration, and energy. They get the job done right and in the blink of an eye. Additionally, Move-tastic was quick to process a refund for an add on item that was never used in the move. Hopefully we don't have to move again for a minute, but when we do we will happily continue to use their services. read more

Pretty good. They did some floor damage, but made good on repairing it.

I highly recommend Move-tastic. They have real people answering their phones in a timely way. They gave me great guidelines, an estimate within hours and were able to accommodate me within 2 days. Elyse was fantastic. Malik (and I am so sorry I didn't catch his partner's name) was highly efficient and organized and super-professional. read more

Would 5 stars but price was quoted with things we end up not moving and they never adjusted the price. Other then that good people who worked hard. read more

I have used this company multiple times for moves over the past decade, but they truly went above and beyond with this last move. When my mother recently needed movers for a last minute, same-day move (long story, which I won't get into here), I assumed there was no way in hell I would be able to find movers on such short notice. Move-Tastic was my first call, given my previous positive experiences with them, and the incredibly helpful woman on the phone, Chloe, said she would check and get back to me. A few minutes later, she called back to confirm that movers would be available that afternoon! The amazing thing is, they didn't even jack up their rates for the last minute move, but charged what appeared to be their typical rates. The move itself went very smoothly. The movers (Fransisco, Jamel, and Chris) were actually able to show up 15 minutes early (less than 3 hours after my initial call!). They finished the move in 2 hours, well under the initial estimate, despite having to deal with a cute, but annoying 4-year old constantly getting in their way and asking them questions. Thanks so much for a job well done! read more

I cannot rate Move-tastic! highly enough. They recently helped me out of a jam when my arrangements with another moving company fell through on short notice. Lindsey on their office found a crew to load my truck with just a few hours notice. She was helpful and responsive throughout my many phone calls to her. Then movers Thomas and Jackson showed up on time, worked tirelessly on a difficult job (I live on the third floor of a walk-up), and worked several hours over finishing the job. They were friendly and helpful and they took great care of my belongings. The truck was well packed and nothing broke during a cross-country drive! I cannot thank Move-tastic! enough! read more
