I was scheduled to arrive in Chicago with a truck full of boxes and furniture and needed to move…read moreinto a second floor walk-up. I had located Woods and Sons Moving Services online and hoped they could help me in getting my belongings safely into my new place. Suffice it to say my expectations were exceeded. Vance's communication pre-move was reliable (he called when he said he would) and the move itself was seamless. He and his team arrived as promised (early, in fact) and ready to go. The movers were neat, courteous and friendly, and they not only helped with the logistics of managing the move, but they also made quick, efficient work of it. A rule of thumb regarding moving that I often share with friends and family is that they shouldn't be surprised if at least one item breaks during the move. Well, Woods and Sons Movers shot that theory down as everything arrived intact, nothing was broken and items were carefully placed. Finally, Vance made sure that the moving truck was empty and left clean, leaving one less thing I needed to be concerned with when returning the truck. All in all, I would highly recommend Woods and Sons Movers. Thank you Vance and team!

We hired Melendez Moving for a customer-facing business-to-business project…read more It involved organizing pallets of boxes full of materials at various locations to be unloaded, organized, sorted, and counted within a few hours, all within view of my client. Kevin and his team responded quickly and professionally. His team wore company shirts for a uniform appearance which was key in front of my business clients. They were respectful and polite to my clients and me. Most importantly they spent their time doing the work. I would hire Kevin and his team for similar projects any day of the week.

That being said, I was incredibly anxious when it came to choosing an interstate moving company I could trust. However, Pickens-Kane was very communicative with me throughout the process, willing to work with me as my dates continued to shift and move around during uncertainty and answering any of the many questions I had. During my FaceTime moving quote with Jennifer Smith, she took the time to assess each piece of furniture and estimate the number of boxes. She also walked through the term sheets with me and made sure their service would meet my expectations by asking me what was most important to me in my move and how they would strive to achieve that. She let me know about Allied Express as an option, which is what I ended up going with, which significantly lowered the cost of my move as compared to a traditional move. She thoroughly explained the differences without pressuring me in either direction to make the decision for the move myself, which I greatly appreciated. Kathy Strle was a fantastic move coordinator and always available to me throughout the move to answer any questions and keep me in the loop as far as the team's arrival for the initial move and eventual delivery in California. She was incredibly responsive and a joy to chat with on the phone when I had questions about my move. I reserved the freight elevator in my building for 9am-12pm, since I scheduled the movers to arrive at 9am from Bloomingdale. I fully expected for them to arrive closer to 9:30, as per my previous experience with movers. On moving day, Chase and his team knocked on my door promptly at 9:04am, were very professional, and were also cautious of CoVid safety precautions by wearing masks and avoiding handshakes. He took the time to explain to me what they were doing, where they were putting items, and finished in a timely fashion. The movers themselves were very careful with my belongings, tagging them, and proceeding in an organized manner. I am happy to say that all of my items arrived in California in great condition!

Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this company. In fact, you should avoid them if you have any…read moreother options. The move itself was fine. But you need to budget it in maybe ~10% more than the all in binding quote. They have several levers to pull to tack on extra fees after they lock in your business. For us it was an extra $1,100 above our all in binding quote across two different tactics. Unfortunately, they had the leverage and used it against us. Despite flagging our issues two weeks prior, they stalled until the night before delivery and then threatened that they would not perform delivery if we did not agree to their terms immediately (we got an updated contract with extra fees at 8pm the night before delivery). As background, we got quotes from two companies when we moved from CA to IL. We made it abundantly clear up front - given timing urgency and a pregnancy, we wanted full packing, delivery, and unpacking. We also asked that they include any and all permits and third-party fees (such as taking TV mounts off the wall). It was very black and white, our quotes would include all these services. A competitor (United) came back with the best all in quote. It agreed to all of the above in writing. I really wish we had gone with them. But the Pickens-Kane team offered to match United's written quote after an extensive 90 minute walk through. They agreed verbally to packing, delivery, unpacking and baked in over $800 of third-party fees. We went with them as they performed a move for us in the past with only minor friction. Unfortunately, they errantly left the "unpacking" line item off the final multi-page quote they sent us. The team there admitted to us that this was an oversight. They agreed that we had asked for unpacking. They agreed that they meant to include unpacking, as this was a non-negotiable ask from us. They agreed that unpacking was part of the competitor quote that they were matching. Yet they contend that the fine print of the contract omitted unpacking. The contract did have a section marked "unpacking", so we assumed it was included. There would be no reason to think otherwise. They argued that items in that section were left blank, and thus we should have known that it was not included. This seems crazy. We discussed thoroughly that unpacking was included. The competing quote says explicitly that unpacking was included. We agreed verbally that unpacking was included. There is a section that says unpacking in the contract we signed. I don't know if this is dishonesty or negligence. I really believe negligence. But the fact that they were not willing to make it right is hard to fathom. We had several intense back and forths during an already stressful move and pregnancy. I offered to meet them halfway - which still seemed quite unfair. But even this they denied. Eventually they settled on a 25% discount on the unpacking fee. It's hard for us to understand this given the entire unpacking fee was verbally agreed to as part of our total payment. But now we're paying an extra $919 for this service. Unfortunately, there's more. As part of the walkthrough, we highlighted a pull-out couch that we own. It is a rather small couch, but it disassembles as it's a bit heavy. That said, two people can easily pick it up - we quite easily moved it around today after it was fully assembled. The competing United team thought that they could likely move it without disassembly, but noted that they would cover disassembly from a third-party if ultimately needed as part of the all in binding quote. We were very explicit in our 90 minute walk through with the Pickens-Kane team about this couch. There was no surprise to them that it was a heavy couch and it came apart if needed. The person doing the walk through noted this and opted out of baking in additional in third-party costs. On the day of the move, we were informed that we would need to pay an extra $428 if we wanted to take this couch ($214 to disassemble and $214 to reassemble). This caught us very off guard. It was part of the all in binding quote. We were very explicit about the nature of this couch and were assured that it was part of the all in binding quote). Yet on move day, they used their leverage. We had to agree to the steep additional fee or leave the couch (which was not an option given replacement value was quite high). We asked, "what could we have done differently given you agree we provided you with all the information and you gave us an all in binding quote?" They said there was nothing we could have done differently. This should've been part of the all in quote, but they are simply not honoring it. Eventually they reduced the charge by half to $214. In full, $1,100 taken from us. This is not a serious team. I believe some of our direct contacts had good intentions, but management clearly put them in an impossible position. Go elsewhere or be prepared to pay significantly more than you are quoted.

Moved from Chicago to California and I was impressed with Reebie Storage & Moving/Allied Van Lines…read morefrom start to finish. They made what can be a very stressful event into a seamless and satisfactory process. I could not be more thankful that everything turned out exactly as planned. PRE-MOVE: Andrew was my Estimator/Moving Consultant and he was very easy to work with on our quick virtual survey. When I received the quote, which was very competitively priced compared against the other companies I had quote, he was not pushy and did not follow up an excessive amount to try and win the business (like some other companies did!). He answered questions quickly over email and was very transparent through the entire process. Everything was then handed over to my Moving Coordinators Amanda & Angel, who were also lovely to work with. A few days before my move, I received a text message to confirm when my movers would arrive to my apartment. MOVING DAY: My moving team led by Nicholas was scheduled to arrive on January 13 between 8-9:30AM. They arrived at 8:45AM to my high rise apartment and had fully gotten everything (about 70 boxes & free-standing items total) into the truck by 9:45AM- they were so efficient! I opted to pack all of my things myself, but they did disassemble my bed frame for me and added any additional padding where they thought necessary. He walked me through my inventory list and explained that my things would first be delivered to their warehouse in Franklin Park, then when they fill a truck headed to California my things would be on their way. DURING THE MOVE: They loaded my things on January 13, and I got my first call from my Coordinator regarding the status of my move on January 24. She let me know that my things were scheduled to depart for CA soon. I also received a call from my driver, Santiago, the night before my delivery to confirm what time he would be arriving. DELIVERY DAY: The estimated delivery day was January 20-30 and timing was 8:30AM. My things arrived on January 29 at 8:15AM. All 70+ items were accounted for and nothing was damaged. The boxes all seemed to be in decent shape considering their 2000 miles voyage. Santiago unloaded the truck himself, leaving all the boxes in the rooms I specified and reassembled my bed frame. He was incredible!

Been a customer for almost a decade…read more When I received my stored goods, a family heirloom brass chandelier, 55 years old, was missing. Some other goods may be too; not sure yet. Filed a claim with the company. Received a fast but disgraceful reply. I expected about $2,000 but was told I'd get less than $200! Reebie's rationale tells all one needs to know about the ethos and culture of this outfit. I was told that because the chandelier was old, it must not be very valuable. I'm not as stupid as Reebie apparently thinks I am. (Old things can be very valuable, duh.) They also told me who they are when claiming that since I'd been in the warehouse a couple of times, things can get lost. Knowing where stuff is pretty much defines the very purpose of a STORAGE business. Old family owned businesses unworthy of your patronage.

When choosing a moving company to move us from Chicago to Texas, I was overwhelmed with the poor…read moreYelp reviews I read from many different companies. Moving is overwhelming as it is, and moving across the country is extremely overwhelming. We were beyond satisfied with Microship. Robert was very easy to work with, and the crew he sent out was beyond professional. Antonio- who has been with Microship for 10 years (I think?) was one of the best movers I have ever had. Not only is he strong (!) but he is professional, reliable, and as nice as they get. He picked our stuff up in Chicago and promised to meet us in Austin 4 days later at 1 pm on a Sunday. At 12:30 pm, he texted that he was on time and would see us soon. So above and beyond what we expected! He brought someone to help us with the unpacking (we paid extra for this- something we asked for) that was incredibly helpful. If I owned this company, I would treat this employee like gold- he is that good. It seems a lot of their crew has been with them for a while- which says a lot. The only issue we had was a math error in calculating our weight. They overcharged us, but promptly answered us and said they will issue a refund for the difference- which I feel will happen. If not, I will respond to this. Moving companies seem to get a bad rap online. I am told there are fake reviewers from competitors, etc. I assure you I am a customer and a very pleased one, at that. If you are looking for a company to move you across the country and take care of your things- you are in good hands. I would like to add- not one item was broken-- no chips, scratches, etc. They are professionals and will take great care of your belongings. Thank you for a great move! Please don't review this business if you received a freebie for writing this review, or if you're connected in any way to the owner or employees.
