Quotes and Set-up: I messaged the manager of M4L on yelp and he responded within an hour and was on…read morethe phone with my husband that night. On the phone they discussed the big pieces of furniture in our apartment, the floor our apartment was located on and the type of housing we were moving into. That is when the manager gave my husband a quote for $90/hr for two guys and a large truck. We appreciated how timely the response was, the ease of getting a quote, and the manners the manager had while working with us. We booked them quickly because that was the best deal we had been given. Pre-moving day: They called 4-5 days before our moving date to confirm our appointment and asked if we had any questions. We appreciate this courtesy. Moving Day: Our movers showed up 15 minutes past our scheduled appointment time, however, we honestly weren't too concerned. Part of the reason we booked this company was because they begin their money-clock as soon as they arrive. Being tight on money, we decided to start bringing boxes down to where the truck would be loaded two hours prior to the truck showing up. This would take leg work away from the movers so they didn't have to do the stairs 8 million more times. The two men that were with us had very quiet demeanor's. They both were polite and worked along side my husband and I and our two friends well. Half way through the moving process the movers were getting to some of our bigger, heavier furniture. One mover had asked both my husband and I individually what our quote was. A person helping to clean my apartment heard the two movers talking while the rest of us were taking a lap down the stairs that they were upset that we were under quoted. They said that this should have been a three man job. Honestly, in hindsight, I don't blame them in the slightest - it probably was a three man job. Although, they made that slight slip when they probably thought they were alone, they maintained face and worked through the move. They wrapped our stuff up nicely and made the job look easier than I know it was. Moving in to our new place went by very quickly. The men took direction well and worked through any kinks that always come with moving furniture. Damage: We did have one piece of furniture that fell apart. They were quick to point it out to us. They took pictures of the damage. Thanks to their insurance and our agreement they will be sending someone out to see if they can repair it (it might actually be repairable, I think!) or they will be replacing it. Again, we don't place any harsh fault of this on anyone - this stuff happens! We just appreciate it being taken care of! Rating: I have given this company 4/5 stars because I feel like the office needs to find a different way to quote their customers. Reading these other yelp reviews it seems like that is a reoccurring issue. My movers would have received 5/5 but I will vouch for them in this instance that they were probably jipped.

Prior to moving, I reached out to Chris to confirm the day and estimated time of arrival. Chris was responsive, flexible, and more than willing to make accommodations given the distance of my move. For instance, he was able to offer evening availability (after 5pm), although I imagine that was not ideal for him and the other movers. When I arrived at my destination, Chris and Frank met me promptly and they had my belongings unloaded within an hour. They were careful with my furniture and Chris was very attentive to the labels on my boxes to ensure that they were put in the right place. He even had food recommendations and other helpful tips about the area. Overall, I was so pleased with my experience and I would highly recommend Chris and Illini Movers for any of your moving needs. Thank you Chris and Frank!

I hired 2 movers for 2 hours, only to have one mover (Chris) show up a half an hour late…read more Chris was scheduled to arrive at 1 pm, but texted me at 12:58 pm to say that he would be 15 minutes late. I had to call and text him at 1:28 pm to ask him where he was. Once Chris arrived, he approached me as if he was ready to get started, without ever acknowledging that he was missing one person. When I questioned him, he acted dumbfounded, and said that the other mover had had a "family emergency." You mean to tell me you show up a half hour late without first immediately contacting me to let me know that the arrangement I PAID IN ADVANCE FOR has changed? And then you expect me to proceed as if this is normal? Well, that's exactly what Chris did. I asked Chris how he could show up a half hour late without first attempting to find a replacement. He had no answer. I asked him if he could find one, and again he looked dumbfounded, and said he would try. He went back to his car and sat in there for the next fifteen minutes, purportedly trying to fix the situation. In that time, the facility I was moving to had contacted a local mover for me who agreed to come move me by 3 pm. Chris's unprofessional shenanigans caused me totally unnecessary stress, delayed my move by over two hours, and as a result forced me to have to finish up my move in the evening after dark (which unfortunately led me to sustain a physical injury). I was beyond astounded and appalled at how nonchalantly this young man did this to me, and several days before a major holiday when it would likely be hard for me to find a replacement. Chris apparently expected me to wear out my back assisting him with a move (which would have taken four hours instead of two), something I steadfastly refused to do. I have never encountered a more unnecessary, unprofessional, and manipulative set of circumstances from a business in my life. I would never recommend this business to anyone, and rather, would strongly caution any person considering working with them to avoid it.

On top of that, my schedule changed suddenly the day before when my flight into town to do this move was delayed a day. Through all this, they were wonderful. They were the first to respond to my initial quote request on yelp, with very clear and professional yet friendly quotes and scheduling, and when I had to reschedule by a day they were very supportive (even responding after hours too). The actual move was quick and clean and careful. My best moving experience ever (and I've had a few). Definitely work with them.

I believe their names were CJ and Tanner, and the owner was Dwayne, and they were so careful, but fast, and our move was organized and completely problem free! They moved a bunch of very heavy wood furniture without a dolly, like it was nothing! No nicks in the walls or damage to any of my items, and I've had those issues with other movers in the past, but absolutely no issues with Bishop Elite Services! And their attention to detail was excellent. They packed fragile things (furniture with glass, mirrors, etc) very well using moving blankets and industrial sized plastic wrap, which I had never seen done, but it was very effective and I wasn't worried about the antique furniture from my grandparents getting damaged, I knew my heirlooms were safe with them. They also made sure all of the boxes went to the right rooms and their labels were all facing out. I've had movers completely ignore the labels and put things in wrong rooms with all the labels facing the wall, so I was extra happy the carefully labeled boxes ended up in the right rooms with labels visible. They also rearranged the furniture when we changed our minds about where things should go without blinking an eye. Plus the guys were all very nice, it was lovely to just chat with them during the whole process. They also do snow removal, hauling and other odd jobs, so you should give them a call! I know I'll be calling them for snow removal this winter! TL;DR: You should hire these guys!

Her service was so affordable I'll likely call her to pack me any time I move again. Overall I really appreciated my service. They were quick, professional, and clearly had some moving methods that helped them ensure my items were quickly moved without anything breaking in the process. Thanks for your help!!
