ON MOVING DAY

1) Make sure all important papers are in a box/or carry bag that you can transport in car to new address so easy to get to.

2) Suggest to avoid any unforeseen issues to do the same with valuables.

4) When movers arrive walk through your move with the crew leader to make sure you are on same page with moving needs.

5) When truck is loaded walk through again to make sure all was moved that needed to be moved.

6) As always any preparation you can do prior to move helps to make the move go smoother-your mover should be happy to give advice.

PACKING FOR YOUR MOVE

Packing for your upcoming move takes a bit of planning and is a bit time consuming. A good moving company that offers packing supplies and packing services is a great option but will be more costly than doing it yourself. If you choose to pack your own items ask your mover for advice on how many boxes/box sizes/packing paper/tape you may need. When you are 100% sure you know you are moving buying supplies in advance is great idea (a couple weeks before the move). If possible start packing items you don't use much or can do without for the time being. An hour or two a day of packing will certainly help from being overwhelmed just prior to moving day. You can do this while watching TV to make it not seem like a task. When packing make sure you have a black felt tip marker to mark what is in your boxes and area of home box will need to be placed.

TIPS FOR BUYING PACKING MATERIALS:

Home Depot has new boxes at good prices but packing materials such as packing paper and tape are rather expensive. Storage facilities sell packing boxes/materials at market rate. Try looking up on the web a local moving supply company where you can buy boxes/materials at wholesale rates-when calling tell representative your mover referred you.

TIPS FOR PACKING:

When packing dishes/breakable cook ware/additional breakables make sure heavier items are packed at the bottom of the box-such as plates/larger bowls--make sure items have at least 2 or 3 layers of packing paper on them for protection--for dishes/glassware make sure to use a sturdy strong box-DO NOT LAY DISHES FLAT IN THE BOX-STAND ON END-tape bottom of box well--crumple up a few sheets of packing paper to provide cushion at the bottom of the box--for very delicate breakables use bubble wrap and/or large pieces of tissue paper(from supply store)

  • For packing pots and pans follow similar instructions for breakables--items do need to be wrapped to avoid scratches and to protect coatings.
  • For packing silverware/cutlery/misc. drawer items use a small box and packing paper or use kitchen towels @ pot holders to make layered cushions as protection.
  • For food items such as dry foods if open container-tape container closed and stand upright-for open containers of liquid food items make sure lids closed tight/wrap the container with packing paper and stand upright in box--mark box liquids/do not tip.
  • For refrigerated items try to get a cooler or two and place in coolers just prior to moving to new home if a local move--if long distance moves you will need to give any usable refrigerated items to friends/family/neighbors.
  • For clothing/towels/linens use medium to large boxes just laying the clothes in the boxes--most movers are fine with leaving clothes in dresser drawers if dressers are sturdy. For hanging clothes most movers will rent wardrobe cartons for local moves--for long distance moves compare costs for wardrobe carton purchase.

I used Bill's Moving Services and couldn't have been more pleased. I found his moving rates very reasonable. Bill quoted me and followed up with an detailed email confirmation of my move. On the day before the move, I received an email confirmation. Adam & Steve, the movers, were on time, courteous, professional and easy to deal with. They moved everything efficiently and with care. I would definitely recommend and would definitely use their services again.

I wanted to work with movers who were in our neighborhood and I am very happy to have found Bill's Moving Service. We had a wonderful experience with them from the very first phone call to the end of the move. Paul, Brian and Jimmy were friendly, fast and professional. They were on time and experienced. They took care with wrapping the furniture and were extremely careful with my husband's L-shaped desk that we thought would not make the move. We are happy that it did. We would definitely use them again and will recommend them to our friends and family.

Bill's Moving Service is great. They were extremely flexible when I had to change things twice because of a late arrival. The movers they sent over were on time and extremely cooperative and friendly. Very good guys. They helped me unpack my truck and charged accordingly, unlike other movers I've used who fluff'd the times to make more money. I will definitely use them exclusively for anything moving-related moving forward. 5-star all the way!

Bill was super easy to work with, and the move went off without a hitch! The customer service was impeccable from the get go, and the actual move was smooth sailing. I have used other movers before, but never had such a positive experience such as with Bill. I will use them again and again, and I am telling all my friends about them as well. 5 stars isn't enough....I give them 10 stars!!!!

Bills Moving helped me load and unload my 26' rental truck in Chicago-Bill sent a 3 man crew with equipment that were fantastic-I had a 3 bdrm move and everything went superbly and within the 8 hrs that I planned-I suggest for an overall awesome moving experience go with Bills Moving Services.

Using Bill's Moving really saved me a lot of time and problems. When my home loan didn't close in time and I had to be out of my aparmtnet, they were the only ones offering me a solution. They had an extra storage unit for my belonging to move into over the weekend while I had to wait for my loan to close the following Monday. When my loan still wasn't closing on time, they waited for it to work out and moved my things into my new home way after hours. Nothing was broken despite the number of times they had to move it in and out of a truck. They really were able to provide a solution when no one else could! I have recommended them several times and were great to work with.

Bill's Moving Services was an EXCELLENT choice! They helped me on very short notice and the movers were a dream! Friendly, courteous, FAST and helpful!

I can't emphasize enough how happy I was with Bill's Moving Services! They were very accommodating to my roommate and I's schedule during a busy summer moving weekend, and very prompt to reply in a friendly, professional manner with any additional questions I had about their services. They even called the day before the move to verify our order and agenda one additional time for clarity's sake. The morning of the move, the 2 helping hands we hired showed up early and ready to work. They were friendly and efficient, demonstrating their experience with the careful way they handled heavy, fragile items, and the proficiency with which they packed the moving truck we rented. With their help we were able to move 3 years worth of collected items and furniture down the road and into our new apartment in 3 hours! Wow! I am recommending Bill's Moving Services to all of my friends who need help moving, and I will be giving them a call every time I need help in the future. It's a great feeling knowing that you've found a great, honest, and affordable company that takes the stress out of what would otherwise be a stressful event.

We needed to coordinate a last minute move and Bills Moving was able to accommodate us with only 2 days notice on a holiday weekend - a life saver! Tony and George worked quickly and carefully to unload our truck and then packed up another load from storage and brought it to our new house. Not only did they treat our belongings carefully but they took care to deliver them to the rooms and places that we wanted them. All that at a price my husband approved - Thank you!

My move went as smoothly as possible thanks to Bills Moving Service. I hadn't used a moving service before, and was apprehensive about going with a smaller, less professional company but I'm really glad I did. Absolutely NO hidden fees, just a great hourly rate and a $20 fee for supplies (pads, tape, boxes, etc..). Dave and Paul arrived on time, were extremely friendly, and worked their butt off - even called in another worker when they found out how far my new apartment is from the elevator. The only downside was that there was only 2 guys, and a third would have been nice, but the extra time works out in the end with the low rates. I highly recommend Bill's!

Bill was very helpful and professional and his crew was fast and friendly. Considering I called about 4 hours before I needed help with a load out of a 26ft truck, they got there when I needed and did the job very fast. Bill's crew were all very respectful to me and my family. They took great care of any large pieces and were very responsive to direction. I would definitely use them again and will refer them to others.

Bill's Moving Service was extremely helpful and honest. I am living in Europe and had to depend completely on email communication. They coordinated a complicated pick-up and delivery on my behalf and I am extremely grateful! In spite of the small size of my order, special attention was paid and extra communication made the entire transaction very pleasant. I highly recommend Bill's moving for any size order.

Bill's Moving Services ROCK! I have used them twice for event-related moves and they have been wonderful. I've called at the last minute to schedule and asked them to meet our trucks at different locations - the last time we used them Al was the "lead guy" and he was prompt, courteous, helpful and went the extra mile - even swept out the rental truck so it was all cleaned up. I highly recommend them!

My daughter was moving from Evanston to River North after her graduation from Northwestern last weekend. I was in town from NY where we live, but had stayed (without my husband) to help her move. She had assured me that we would be able to do it ourselves since it was just a couple of boxes and some suitcases and we had an SUV. Turns out there were 14 very large, very heavy boxes plus numerous suitcases. It would have taken at least 5 trips back and forth if we had been able to do it ourselves. In a panic, I called Bills on a Sunday afternoon. He was able to arrange the move for the very next morning at 8am. His guys arrived on time, they were courteous and professional, and the rates are very reasonable. He even had the guys come back the next day and they assembled all her IKEA furniture and helped hang mirrors, etc. I should add that Bill was able to arrange all this while vacationing in FL. He was the utmost professional, did everything he said he would do, he provided SERVICE to his CUSTOMER, something that is so lacking in this world of ours. I couldn't be happier and recommend Bill's WITHOUT HESITATION!!

At the last minute I had to get a service that would pack my apartment for a move. And Bill was quick to respond and assure me his guys would be there on time. They got there early and they were like zippity-zap and worked so fast, I couldn't believe it. I would def use his service again.

They arrived early (after calling to make sure it was okay, of course), worked quickly, and delivered everything in one piece (including a crappy old desk of mine that I was sure wasn't going to survive another move.) They did a great job and I plan to use them again.

We found Bill on craigslist, and we lined him up to help us pack up a truck to move from Chicago across the country. They showed up promptly at 10:30am, and about 5 hours later, the truck was packed, safely and quickly. These guys worked the entire 5 hours. Constantly. I can't remember a single time I noticed them standing around doing nothing. They were always working, covering up furniture, moving boxes, packing up the truck, organizing the truck, etc. They like to make sure all your furniture is overly protected in the truck, so make sure you have plenty of padded blankets and tons of tape (we used probably 100 blankets and 20+ rolls of tape). We really could not be happier with the job they did. I highly recommend them. You probably can't find a better company to pack up your truck and make your move substantially easier and worry-free. I only wish that they could help us with our next move! :) After posting my review, I noticed that there are several negative reviews about damage to property, etc. We had none of these issues. They were actually very safe with all our stuff. Just wanted to add this, after reading some of the other reviews.

I called Bills Moving Services on a Sunday when I was in a real jam-I needed to move and it was completely un-planned. Bill Said he would check availability and he did calling me back-had his 3 man crew to me within 20 minutes. They were fast and courteous moving me from downtown Chicago to Oakbrook(20 miles away) in 31/2 hours. My husband and I were amazed with their services. We will be using Bills Moving Services again and suggest you do the same.

A few weeks ago I hired Bill's moving service and was very pleased with the quality of service I had. I feel that I had a very stressfull move that these guy's worked with at ease. It was like they knew my furniture better than me. Anything that was fabric was wraped in a plastic to prevent it from getting dirty, which my wife was happy about. All of my artwork was boxed as if it was going to be shipped to another state. I was greatfull they did this because I like my framed artwork very much. All in all the job took 9 hours and these guy's only stopped for 15 minutes to eat some pizza I had ordered for them. They worked straight through and very hard. I will refer them to my friends,family and co-workers that will ever need a great moving service. Thanks Bill,

Not only did Will work to accommodate a last minute move, but he also showed up early the day of my move ready to get it done. He personally supervised his crew and saw that their work was up to a high standard and sure enough, 10 states later the truck he and his guys loaded didn't yield a single casualty when it was finally unpacked. Will's guys are not only affordable, but are reliable - you need both on moving day.

I found Bill's moving service via Uship from an ebay seller of Bowflex Ultimate 2 - Fully Assembled. Bill & his team are very friendly and will go above and beyond. The Bowflex Ultimate 2 Fully Assembled was not able to get into my house so they have to fully disassemble it because it was such a monster in term of sizes and weights. They even took out my unwanted computer desk and shelves to the salvation army. I would highly recommend his services to my friends, families, and anyone else who is in need for delivery services.

They are hardworking, careful with the move and considerate with timetables. I bought an antique table from out of state...when Bill dropped it off we foundit was the wrong table (sellers fault) Bill immediately scheduled shipments to aloow the wrong table to be returned and the right one back within a week....

Rating: Very Good. Highly Recommended. Contracted mover did not show up. Waited 5.5 hours. Called Bill and he had a crew cleaning out my junk in less than an hour. Filled about 3/4 of a 16 footer. Two workers got the job done in about 90 minutes or less. Was able to close the sale of the house as planned. Thank you Bill

I called on Saturday for a Monday morning move and it was no problem for them. I had the truck and had packed my stuff and Bill's team did the rest. They brought their own dollies and padding and tape and were very careful and fast. We got out of the building in under three hours and loaded into the new building in 2 hours. Fast, professional, reasonable rates and flexible on schedule. I recommend them for anyone who needs to move.
