Packing is the part everyone underestimates. We pack by the hour at the same rate as our moving labor, plus a set price per box, and we bring the materials. 5.0 stars from 225 Google reviews.
Most people start a week out, get through the kitchen, and look up to find the rest of the house still standing there. Packing isn't hard. There's just far more of it than anyone expects, and all of it has to be done before the truck shows up.
We pack by the hour, at the same rate as our moving labor, plus a set price per box. We supply the materials — and if you've already bought boxes and paper, we count what you have toward the hourly instead of charging you for ours.
We're based in Woodridge and we pack across Chicagoland, seven days a week. That's how we've held a perfect 5.0 on Google across 225 reviews.
One hourly rate, our own materials, and no premium for the hard rooms.
Packing is billed hourly at the same rate as our moving crew, plus a set price per box. There's no separate packing premium.
Boxes, paper, tape, blankets, plastic. Already bought your own? We count what you have toward the hourly rather than charging you for ours.
Some people want the whole house done. Most want the kitchen, the glassware, and the things they'd rather not be responsible for. Either is fine with us.
No charge for stairs, elevators, or furniture assembly done with the move. The only possible extras: a 3% card processing fee, items over 300 lbs, and additional materials.
Every move carries the standard 60 cents per pound per item. That's the coverage we offer, we explain exactly what it means before packing day, and if we break something we make it right.
Someone picks up the phone seven days a week, 8am to 8pm. For a local move, about two weeks' notice is a good rule of thumb.
Packing is hourly, at the same rate as our moving labor, plus a set price per box. Two things drive the number: how much there is, and how much of it is fragile. A kitchen takes longer than a bedroom, every time.
Materials come from us, or they don't — your call. If you've already got boxes, paper and tape, we count those toward the hourly instead of selling you ours. Anything we do supply is itemized: packing materials, mattress bags, TV boxes, blankets and plastic. There's no tax and no service fee when you book with us directly.
A full pack means we box the whole house, room by room, and label as we go. It's the right answer when you're short on time, moving out of state, or simply don't want to spend two weekends doing it.
A partial pack is more common. People handle their own closets and books, then hand us the kitchen, the china cabinet, the glassware, the picture frames — the things that are slow to do and expensive to get wrong. Tell us what you'd rather not touch and we'll take that.
Dishes, glassware and stemware go in dish packs with paper between every piece. Mattresses get bags. Televisions get TV boxes rather than a blanket and hope. China cabinets and mirrors get wrapped before anything goes near them.
A few items have rules. Pianos are upright only, and we don't take them up or down stairs — we don't move grand or baby grand pianos at all. Safes and gun safes are fine, including heavy ones up to roughly 450–500 lbs, typically for an additional charge that depends on the stairs, the elevator, and how long the carry is.
Some things can't go on the truck at any price: propane tanks, gasoline, aerosol cans, ammunition, and firearms. We'd rather tell you now than on packing day.
Plants, liquids, alcohol and food can travel if you're comfortable accepting the liability for them. We'll talk it through before we start. And we don't offer storage — your things go from your old place to the new one, so nothing sits in a warehouse in between.
Packing works best when the plan is settled before the tape comes out.
Walk us through the house, or send photos. We'll give you an honest read on the hours and the box count, and we'll tell you whether a full pack or a partial one makes more sense for what you've got.
The crew arrives with the materials and works room by room. Everything gets labeled by the room it's going to, and the fragile things get wrapped individually, not tossed in together.
Boxes go on the truck and come off in the room you want them in. Furniture we take apart gets put back together, at no extra charge when it's part of the move.
One hourly rate, a set price per box, and a short list of what could ever be added.
Call 630-703-6077 and we'll talk through what you want packed. If we think you're better off doing part of it yourself, we'll say so.
It's hourly, at the same rate as our moving labor, plus a set price per box. How much there is and how fragile it is are what move the number.
No. Plenty of people pack their own closets and books and hand us the kitchen and the fragile things. Full house or one room, both are normal.
Yes — boxes, paper, tape, blankets and plastic. If you've already bought your own materials, we count those toward the hourly instead of charging you for ours.
Dominick's advice, and it's the honest answer: pack what you can into boxes, take the furniture apart, and label items by the room they're going to. Anything that's boxed and labeled before we walk in is time off the clock. If you'd rather not take furniture apart, leave it — we disassemble and reassemble what's part of the move at no extra charge.
About two weeks for a local move, and four weeks if you're going out of state. Last-minute is always welcome and costs no extra — it just depends on what the crew has open, so call and we'll check.
Propane tanks, gasoline, aerosol cans, ammunition and firearms can't go. Plants, liquids, alcohol and food can, if you're comfortable accepting the liability for them.
Upright pianos only, and never up or down stairs; we don't move grand or baby grand pianos. Safes are fine up to roughly 450–500 lbs, typically for an additional charge depending on the stairs and the carry.
We're based in Woodridge and pack throughout the western suburbs.
