Hired pack-men for a simple move. They were able to accommodate even though I called them 2 days before my move date. They were so helpful and prompt! Roberto, Raul, and Antone were careful with my furniture, wrapped anything that needed to be and quickly move everything into the truck. They were so nice and helpful! It was also affordable on my budget. I will definitely be using them again! read more

My husband hired Pack-Men Movers for our August 1st move. He did a lot of research prior to booking and they were actually the 3rd company of choice but were the ones available after our closing date was delayed twice. They are very quick to respond via email both before booking as well as after the move (more on that later) which was great especially during the stress of rescheduling movers several times. On moving day, the crew arrived within the specified time. There were 5 men total and it took them about 9 hours and 2 trips to move us from our 2400 square foot condo in Roscoe Village to 1 mile north to our new single family home in North Center. The crew in general were nice and very hard working. They had one guy disassemble the furniture then reassemble it at the new place. We were surprised they reassembled furniture since we usually had to do that with previous moves, so that was an unexpected but very much appreciated. They worked pretty fast but in their speed they damaged not only some of our stuff but parts of our brand new home. One of our huge wall mirrors has scuff marks in the middle affecting the reflection. They didn't wrap up our queen bed well and tore the fitted sheet and almost tore through the mattress pad cover underneath when unwrapping the mattress with the utility knife. They lost one of our 6 formal dining room chairs that was worth $200. How can you lose a chair moving 1 mile? The insurance is $0.03/lb which is not worth the time filing the claim for it. They took out a chunk of one of the bedroom door frames trying to move the desk into the room before deciding to dismantle it. There are marks above the ceiling of the stairs where some of the furniture hit it on the way up the stairs. We took the time to label where all the boxes should go and one of us was at the front door directing the movers to the rooms. Despite that, boxes marked for "basement family room" ended up in the third floor bedroom and boxes marked for "kitchen" or "master bedroom closet" ended up in the basement. It's not fun for a post-partum mom like myself having to carry those boxes to the right places. When we inquired about the missing chair, they did respond quickly stating they checked the truck but it wasn't there so we should try to check the old place if it was left behind by mistake. Luckily we had the luxury of returning to the old place to check (it wasn't there) but others may not have that option. read more

Pack-Men Movers made my move stress-free! I am so unbelievably happy that I chose them. Salvador and Antone moved all of my items from one high rise to another in only 3.5 hours...I was shocked! They were very quick but still gentle with everything, and nothing got damaged at all. They were both very friendly, professional, and trustworthy. I also had a great experience with Jeany in the office, she helped me greatly with organizing my move. I highly recommend Pack-Men Movers, as they have very reasonable prices and great employees. I will definitely be using them again in the future! read more

I was seriously impressed by how quickly, efficiently, and safely Pack-Men Movers was able to move our whole 3-bedroom apartment up 4 flights of stairs!! This is by far the best moving company I have ever used in Chicago, and that was my 6th move in 10 years. Salvador, Tony, and Peter were absolute rockstars. Thank you Pack-Men Movers! I look forward to your services in the future; we'll never use anyone else. read more

I cannot say enough good things about Pack-Men movers. First off they were so early to the appointment, so the move happened so quickly. They had my studio apartment moved out in 30 min and then moved into my new apartment in maybe 45 (and that's with them also helping us unload my heavy items in my car). I truly would not have been able to do this move without Fernando, Burro and Gustavo. On top of all of that, the quote they gave us was about $200 higher than what we ended up paying, moving is so expensive and that little but made such a difference. THANK YOU!!!!! read more

I used Pack Men to move my daughter into an old building in the city. The hallways were insanely narrow and the unit was on the third floor. I had a quote in minutes after calling the office and an appointment for the next day. The men were very professional and worked quickly. I would highly recommend them to friends and family. I was very pleased with the service I received. read more

We used pack-men movers to move in Ravenswood on 4-27-2019, and they were outstanding! It was an insane snow/slush mix outside (check the weather for that day). Our movers were Salvador, Raul, and Ruben. They managed to get the move done in well under the estimated time. Amazingly, they were able to keep our things dry. They also wiped their feet well at the new place. Very considerate and professional. They also were able to put together all of the furniture that they disassembled. Definitely the smoothest moving experience that I've had. read more

We have used Pack-men before and they were great. So we decided to use them again. Today we had Ray and Antone who were excellent. They were on time, very fast, and careful not to damage anything. Highly recommend read more

Worst movers EVER. I don't know how we had such an opposite experience as the previous reviews, but the team we got were completely inexperienced, slow, and clumsy. They dropped several boxes and hence broke countless glasses. They dropped/smashed our wardrobe boxes so all the clothes were in a pile at the bottom of the boxes rather than on the hangers. We might as well have crumpled everything up and stuffed it in garbage bags for all the care that these guys gave our stuff. They moved boxes from one room to another, like they didn't feel like taking them to the truck and hoped we wouldn't see them still in the house. Not to mention didn't even fill up the truck, but instead said that they couldn't fit anything else when we could clearly see room. So thanks for leaving stuff at our old place that we now have to go pick up. Threatening to not unload the truck? Really professional. How about you do your job well - like we were led to believe by Yelp - and move on. We are disgusted by Salvador and his team and can't stress how much this move sucked. Maybe b/c it was Labor Day, and maybe the company contracted out the work? Maybe we are spoiled b/c we've used The Professionals in the past and they are the gold standard of movers (who we didn't book in time and look what happened)? I don't know and don't care. The fact is, they gave us a quote, we hired them to do the job, and they failed miserably. For a future move, If these guys were somehow the only option and everyone else was booked, I would either change the move date or rent a U-Haul. You defintely get what you pay for with this company. read more

My roommate booked them for our move two weeks ago. Pro: They were fast. Movers were nice and polite. Cons: They were haphazardly fast, putting fragile items on top of each other even after we reminded them. We followed them when they unloaded our stuff to make sure they didn't hit the door or scratch the wall. Unfortunately one of the movers accidentally dropped a couple metal desk legs on the solid wood floor and caused multiple deep chips. That plank has to be replaced. Our landlord requires us to replace the damaged floor, which costs $300+. In the process of unloading, they placed items all over the hallway, presumably to move faster. Our building management saw this and talked to the movers because it blocked other people, but the movers essentially ignored him. The manager called us and complained that no professional movers do that. We had to go to the loading dock to convince them to move stuff out of the way. A few of our boxes has small pieces of broken glass on top of and inside them, probably coming from their truck. If you don't have anything of value that they could potentially break, or don't mind paying hundreds of dollars to fix damage to your new home (not to mention the emotional stress), they are indeed the fastest movers you could find. read more

I've had better moves in the past for sure. I don't really blame the guys they sent as they were very kind and called me 'boss' non-stop, but the management was off. After I clearly told their company about the size of our move (2 bedroom townhome with three floors filled with average amount of stuff to fill it) their management sent my 3 man crew with a tiny 15 foot truck with graffiti on it, barely the size necessary to fit a studio apartment contents. Thus we didn't fully move out with them, only had them take the larger items and have to move the rest over multiple trips ourselves. The team of guys they sent me were kind but they were rather slow and untrained. They would only carry one box at a time. In the past Joey's or the Professionals would all carry five boxes at a time on their backs, not my crew. They also nicked many walls at the two locations along with lots of my furniture. Thus they were well over budget. For a move that should have taken no more than four hours for any other company.... took these guys nearly seven hours instead. Yeah, their hourly rate and truck rental is the cheapest, but at the slow pace that Pack Men moves, they'll be well over the cost of any competitor easily. read more

The guys who moved me were great. However, I was not told there was a minimum of time that had to be met, otherwise you pay the time Not used to meet the minimum. I have email proof that a minimum was never mentioned, only thing mentioned was their hourly rates and the woman saying she estimates my move to take 2-3 hours. My move took 50 minutes but paid the cost for two hours. Absolutely insane to not mention the minimum number of hours that would be charged if my move took under two hours! I will not be using pack men again, or recommending them to anyone as I feel I was tricked. read more

Miguel, Fernando, and Ismael were the dream team. They hustled to ensure my 1-Bdrm move was within my 2-hour estimate. They were not only quick, but, they were confident enough to ask clarifying questions and treated my things with care. It is also worth mentioning that it was a positive experience from the first reply to my inquiry to the processing of my payment. The service team was very responsive, quick to answer questions, and, provided a helpful move-in/move-out guide. Thank you, Pack-Men! read more

They were fast to answer emails, quote was reasonable, and move went fast since they sent an extra guy and didn't charge for it because he was needed for their move scheduled after mine. The guys were nice but dented the hell out of my front doors molding and drywall trying to get my couch out the door. Some of my furniture they loaded onto the truck was severely scratched as well because they just used plastic wrap instead of the moving blankets I had put out on the furniture for them to use? I didn't realize it the front door till after they left and just wish they would have pointed it out before taking their tip. Because of the extra guy they came in under what they originally quoted and the door damages aren't anything some spackle won't fix, so I didn't complain to the company, just more work for me. My furniture I guess is just the casualties of moving, it isn't ruined just has some battle wounds. A bit disappointed in the experience though since they had such great reviews, not sure if I would recommend :/ read more

Great 3 man team-Miguel, Jermine, and Fernando! They were timely, careful w/ our belongings, friendly, and polite. Wouldn't hesitate to use them again. Used a diff company on the first leg of our move and have surprise charges at the end. None of that w. this co. They beat the estimated time as well. read more

Pack Men unloaded 3 full Pods at our home. Julio, Fernando, and Miguel did a great job working quickly and efficiently. I was very impressed with them, when they were able to fit a large awkward desk through a doorway. It was pouring rain for the first hour they were here, and they not only toughed it out in the conditions, they were great about not getting the house wet. I would certainly use them again, and highly recommend them. The price was also very fair compared to the movers we used to pack us. read more

This was my first time using movers and I'll never go back. And as long as I have the option, I'm going to use Pack-Men. Booking was extremely easy, the estimate was very accurate and they were very professional about confirming dates and times. Salvador, Julio & Luis gave me a heads-up and arrived exactly when they were supposed to with everything they needed. They were extremely careful with my belongings, but I was amazed by how quick & efficient they were as well. In my new place, they wanted to be sure they put everything exactly where I wanted it, which made my unpacking job significantly easier. They even re-assembled anything that had been disassembled for the move. I cannot speak highly enough about Pack-Men - and specifically Salvador, Julio & Luis. If you ever need movers in Chicago, this is the place, and these are the guys. read more

I had an excellent experience with the team at Pack-men movers. There was a snow storm and Edgar, Salvador and Roberto were on time and unbelievably helpful. They packed up my things so quickly and were so polite. They were so respectful and helpful and made my move during a Chicago snowstorm go as smooth as if it were July. I'd recommend this trio and this company to anyone in the area. read more

Selected Pack-Men based on their amazing Yelp reviews and they didn't disappoint! We had Ismael and Miguel S., and they were not only professional but worked very fast- It felt like they barely took a break! They wrapped all of our furniture with blankets carefully, and helped us tape up boxes that we couldn't finish on time. Everything arrived in great condition at our new home. And when I told them the walls are freshly painted, they maneuvered through our place carefully with the boxes to not damage/ scrub any of the walls. Pricing was also very reasonable compared to other companies, and maybe even cheaper? Highly recommend this company! Would use them again. Thanks Ismael and Miguel S.! read more

Our movers were Edgar and Jermaine - Both showed up promptly and assessed the situation. They were very friendly and helpful. They came in and moved my mom quickly and drove to the new location and unloaded as quickly as that. They only charged for the time that worked and no minimums, saving my mom a lot of money. Thanks for the move! read more

Moving at the end of June and not having movers lined up was my rookie mistake but hiring Pack-Men movers was not! Salvador and Julio were great and super efficient. I was really surprised how quickly we were done, I have a TON of stuff. They were super friendly, professional and easy to talk to. I would recommend! The only thing I would comment on, is that I wish they had those large wardrobe boxes. Everything else was great, very good price and the guys were excellent! read more

Antoney, Jose and Angel were prompt, professional and organized. My move was on time and under the estimate. I would hire them again.

If I could give them 100,00,00,000 stars, I would! Salvador, Roberto and Julio are completely amazing. From arriving promptly, to taking inventory, to moving furniture and taking care of my items, I was blown away by how professional and personable all three of them were. I moved from the northern suburbs to Lincoln Park in less than three hours. While I had a few boxes and smaller furniture items, I did have a good sized dresser, armoire, queen bed and headboard to move. They made it look effortless. I kept saying how impressed I was and they just said they were doing their job! Incredible. I would recommend Pack-Men Movers to anyone in the Chicagoland area looking for a stress-free moving experience. This was my first move and I couldn't be happier with how it turned out. I will definitely be using this company again for my moves in the future, and will be requesting Salvador, Roberto and Julio! read more

We priced out a few movers and had them do site visits for an accurate quote. Pack-Men was easy to work with and had a very competitive price. The morning of our move there were a few issues, but the team worked hard to make things right and management was responsive and very easy to work with. All our items arrived in great shape, our floors/walls were not tarnished and the team was very pleasant. Great value for the money! read more

A former colleague recommended Pack-Men to me when I asked if she knew any good movers for my load-only move last Thursday (8/25). She had used Pack-Men for a multi-stop move from Oak Park into the city to a 4th floor walk-up. I called and spoke with Jeanny who was super helpful and said since I wasn't moving at the end of the month, they would be able to assist with loading my truck. Yay! I made the arrangements, and Jeanny texted me the day before to confirm when my 2-man crew would be arriving and to ensure I had no changes. I found this really helpful, and let me know that my "little job" was still important to them. The day of my move, my team - Zach and Roberto - arrived about 15 minutes early (with a call to me to let me know they were en route and to ensure that I was ready), and they got to work straight away after I showed them what was moving and what was staying. I had 5 pieces of furniture and about 35 boxes. They wrapped my furniture to ensure it wouldn't get nicked, and packed the truck expertly. They were done in exactly an hour - moving things from both my 2nd floor apartment, as well as my basement. I would definitely use Pack-Men Movers again if I move back to Chicago, and would totally ask for Zach and Roberto to assist again! Thanks, Pack-Men Movers!! read more

Overall, we had a positive experience with Pack-Men, and would definitely use them again in the future. A few things to keep in mind for next time: They showed up 20 minutes late, which is not a huge deal for most people, but with a ticking clock on elevator availability in my condo, the pressure was "on" more than usual from the time they arrived. Also, the company advertises free wardrobe boxes, which they must have forgotten this time. The movers themselves were trustworthy, on-task, and very nice. As a moving company skeptic, I found that despite a few minor issues this go-around, these guys are legit, and are right up there with the best of them in Chicago. read more

I used Pack-Men movers yesterday to move from Beverly to Oriole Park. I CANNOT say enough about these movers. I had 4 guys move my 4 bedroom house. I underestimated how much STUFF I had to move. But they got it all and more. These guys couldn't be more considerate, respectable, kind and HARD WORKING. These guys never stopped!!!! At the old house they wrapped and packaged everything and took the beds apart. At the new house they unwrapped almost everything and even put the beds back together. And when they found something wrong with a piece of furniture, they were sure to tell us immediately. They even helped me apply the furniture pads to the bottoms of the legs. They NEVER dragged a piece of furniture. The NEVER hit a wall. If you need to make a daunting task of moving a bit easier, do yourself a favor and get PACK-MEN movers. They are honestly the best decision I've made since I decided to get divorced!!! Thanks guys for an amazing move!!! read more

Had 3 movers to move about a 1 bedroom worth of stuff down 3 flights. Movers were super quick and efficient with everything, friendly guys and got the job done in amazing fashion! Would highly recommend, as well quote on price was one of the best I got read more

Pack-Men Movers helped my boyfriend and I move last week, and I definitely recommend them! Miguel and Roberto were our movers - they did a great job. From the beginning of our search, Jeanny was very helpful with providing our quote and answering questions. The movers arrived promptly, were professional the whole time, and were surprisingly fast. We moved from a 3rd floor courtyard building with no elevator, and these guys weren't set back at all. Everyone that we dealt with during the process was very personable, absolutely no problem there. These guys were all very transparent about costs and what to expect during the move. Overall, affordable and great experience! Thanks! read more

Jeanny was quick in booking our move and also provided us with a insurance certificate. Their rates seemed slightly lower than a lot of movers in the city and also reviews were good on yelp so, I decided to go with them. Salvador, Julio and Gio moved our stuff, they were on time and finished moving a 1 BR apartment in 2.5 hrs. I booked for 2 men and a truck but, they had to go to another move so, got a third men for no additional charges! They wrapped our stuff really well and there was nothing broken or damaged during the move. Also, Jeanny sent us a card and 2 wine glasses as a house warming gift! read more

This was a great moving experience. I have now used them twice and would use them again. Able to schedule on short notice. Responsive to questions via email and phone. Incredibly fast and have come under the quoted price both times. Had Salvador and crew and would highly recommend. read more

I'm very happy with Pack-Men Movers. To start, I believe they quoted me a fair price. Then when my new home wasn't going to be ready on time unexpectedly they were able to accommodate a new date about a week later. They're e-mails were always prompt and our movers, Edgar and Alan O were great. They were on time and thorough. I was worried about one of my couches being moved because it took about TWO HOURS to get it into our home when we moved in. I honestly have no idea how they did it but it took them under 5 minutes!? I'll be sure to use this company again in the future and will specifically be asking for them. Thank you!! read more

I called them two weeks in advance to set up a booking for the 1st. A very friendly Denise answered all my questions and explained the process and its fees. I got a confirmation call the day ebfore the move and the day of the move, I got a call 10-15 minutes in advance. They were at our door right at noon (as requested). We had Tony, santiago and (Estaban?) and they brought a huge truck that could fit a 3 bedroom comfortably.Very nice guys, and got to work right away.They asked us if something needed to be wrapped in fabric, and I had a couple smaller furniture that I wanted wrapped so there are no scratches. Everythign else, we had kept ready to move before they arrived. We had a slight a slight setback where our building elevator got stuck (no one was in it) but that was the elevator reserved for the move out, the guys even offered to use the stairs since they didnt want to be late for their next appointment, but I wasnt going to let them do that from 6th floor ha! The whole process delayed us by about 30-40 minutes but they were very coorporative and worked even harder to move in to the new place faster so they could finish in the allotted time. They even called the next person to tell them they would be a few minutes late. At the end, the fees were exactly what i was told in advace and nothing extra, other than a nice tip ofcourse! I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to move! I sure will use them everytime, and refer them to my friends. And yes, everything we opened came out without a scratch. (although I had pointed it out in advance the boxes that were fragile so they handled with extra care) read more

Used packmen last weekend when moving from East Lakeview to Logan Square. The guys called when they were about 20 mins away and were even 15 mins earlier than the scheduled time, which I was happy about. The sooner to get moving over with the better! The loading, driving, and unloading took just shy of 2 hrs total. The price was exactly what I had calculated, and was very reasonable for how much time they saved me! The guys were also very friendly and asked me questions before making decisions about my items. They also showed me their empty truck at the end to make sure they didn't miss anything. No complaints here. Very professional service, for a reasonable price. Thanks guys! read more

I've used this company 4 times. Today was hopefully the final time, since Miguel, Jorge, Salvador, and Max have moved me into my "forever" home. These guys moved a bazillion boxes and large pieces of furniture in HALF the time quoted. Items were wrapped and placed on the truck carefully. We were really annoying about where to put stuff and received no complaints. They even offered to put a bed frame together! Call Pack-Men for a good deal and great service. read more

Recently moved from California to Chicago and needed movers from my U-Pack to the apartment. Pack-Men got back to me promptly with a quote that was reasonable so I decided to go with them. The day of the move, they arrived within their window and promptly began moving my items from one truck to another. The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is because even after I filled out the moving questionnaire and told the scheduler how much room we took up in the truck, they didn't send a large enough truck and should have sent another person. So we had to take two trips from Des Plaines to Logan Square in rush hour traffic. Slightly frustrating, since it was just me and my 1-year-old. But the guys picked up another mover and finished the job quickly, with no damage to my property and we're able to keep their sense of humor on an unseasonably hot September day. read more

So far so good.... cons: guys were pretty fast, great communications skills, willing to help pack and pick up items to move faster, very courteous and kind. Pros: more carefully with stuff. Some of my stuff were ripped due to putting heavy stuff on top of fragile things. Some of the boxes weren't tape on the bottom but they were tight and they didn't grab them from the bottom to avoid accidents. They are professionals and they have to know how to grab boxes and bags. Some of the bags and boxes ripped and some of my stuff were damaged. You don't notice until you start unpacking. read more

We just finished moving this afternoon with Pack-Men movers. What a great group of people- very helpful, professional, helpful with good demeanors. We definitely highly recommend Pack-Men Movers. Do make sure to tip them well. read more

I used Pack-Men Movers this weekend to move my boyfriend and I from a 4th floor walk up in boystown to an apartment in gold coast. From the moment I reached out to the when the last box was dropped off, I was so impressed. Jeanny (office clerk) even texted me the day before to let me know everything was all set and ready to go. On the day of the move, the 2 spots that I had reserved in front of our building were taken so Salvador, Tony and Alex had to park in the back alley, which is a pretty far walk from where my apartment was. In addition to that, one of my neighbors had her bike locked to her part of the walk up and wasn't home to move it so not only did the guys have to move all of our stuff down 3 flights of stairs, but they also had to maneuver around the bike. Overall this team and company was a home run. They literally took 3 hours to the minute, which is exactly what they quoted. They were professional, kind and considerate as well. My boyfriend (who's a lawyer) and myself (in marketing) spent over 3 hours combing through reviews and quotes and even created and excel spreadsheet comparing all of the local companies, so save yourself the time and research and pick Pack-Men Movers! read more

Edgar and Salvador were amazing! We used them for our move last week. We moved from Hyde Park to Lincoln Square and it took about 5 1/2 hours (including about an hour to drive to the new location) to move everything. The original estimate was for 2-4 hours but apparently my husband and I have a lot of stuff. We were moving from a one-bedroom into a 3-bedroom and we really had about 3 bedrooms worth of stuff. The total ending up being $402 (not including tip but does include $45 truck fee) for a 5 1/2 hour move. Not too shabby! Also, setting up the appointment was a freaking breeze. They texted and emailed to confirm. WHY DOESN'T EVERY BUSINESS TEXT?! I loved it. Thank you to Jeanny for making it so easy and for being so responsive. The guys were fantastic and really hard workers. They didn't ask us to help with anything (we offered!) and they did it all themselves. I could tell they were getting tired but they kept their spirits up and moved everything. Nothing was broken, as they did a really careful job wrapping everything to ensure it was safe. We would definitely use Packmen Movers again, and we would definitely recommend them! We heard about them through a coworker of mine that recently moved and she gave rave reviews! We're really glad we were sent Edgar and Salvador to help us move. read more
