Good Move Movers, Inc.

This company is great. We were initially scheduled to move a few days before the new year and our new landlord told us he wasn’t quite ready yet. With less than a 24 hour notice, Good Move allowed us to reschedule our move. We were given a start time of 8−9am and the guys gave me a 30 minute advance notice the morning of and showed up promptly at 8:30. They packed up our old 1br in about 1.5 hours and had everything unloaded at the new place by noon. It was great. They were very efficient and courteous; the new landlord was pleased with how much care they took loading things into the apartment, (including navigating a tight stairway — triggering memories of Ross Gellar yelling PIVOT PIVOT!)

Quality and efficient service with competitive rates, for a move from the suburbs to the city. Would highly recommend them.

I’ve used Good Move Movers twice in the last few months, and i must say I’ve had an exceptional service!

I called this moving company upon the recommendation of my realtor. Their pricing was comparable if not slightly less than their competitors. The follow up phone calls and emails prior to the miving date were helpful and prifessional. The three guys that showed up were skilled and very efficient with the packing, loading and unloading of my stuff. Nothing was damaged nor broken and neing that I was paying an hourly wage, grateful for their speed in getting the job done. I will definitely use them again and will highly recommend to others.

We hired Good Move Movers at the last minute for a same day job. They arrived on schedule, with a phone call from the office letting us know they were heading to our home. Both Eric and Alex were very courteous and friendly, worked quickly, and took great care with our furniture and appliances. We will be using them again when we move back into the our house.

Just what the company name says! Good Move Movers did an exceptional job. They moved my husband and I two weeks ago and handle our stuff with cautious/​care. Thank guys!

Good Move did a great job. The guys were friendly, caring (i had a bad situation i was moving out from) and worked carefully and quickly. The only complaint I have, and this was discovered after I left, is the way they put my bed together, the mattress is on a higher rung than before and has caused issues of for me. I have to find someone who can rectify that, as I can’t disassemble and put the bed back together myself. Overall a good experience and I would recommend this company.

Great moving company! I haven’t moved in over 32 years, so was a bit apprehensive at the whole notion of packing and enduring the physical move. Chris, the owner and Joy in the office were very professional and the quote Chris gave me was right on the money. The crew who moved me were great and worked under some awful weather conditions (very hot/​humid). At the 11^th hour, I managed to dislocate and fracture my shoulder, rendering me useless in doing any of the final packing. I called Chris, and he aleviated my concerns and told me he would have 20 extra boxes thrown on the truck and his guys would pack up whatever was left. What a relief! Would not hesitate to recommend Good Move Movers over and over again. Job well done!!!

These people did an amazing job for us. My son was moving out of his apartment and dropped a glass table on his foot and ended up in the hospital unable to complete his move. He HAD to be out the next day. So in the morning I started making calls to see if anyone could help us. Given that I was calling on the 31^st with no flexibility I obviously wasn’t having much luck. But when I called Good Moves they were able to move some things around and squeeze us in. I expected they would charge extra for the short notice but no-​they charged their standard fee. They were super fast and friendly and did a fantastic job for us. I would definitely use them For our next move and I would highly recommend them!

We chose this company based on the reviews and it was the lowest price of all 3 quotes I received. The owner came out to do an on site estimate and grossly underestimated the job. We should have had a semi. We hired them for packing and moving. The packing was good until they ran out of boxes and started adding items to my already neatly organized bins (that I packed previously) in my basement. They opened my bins that need not be opened and took stuff out of them and moved items to other bins and boxes to make room for all the other items they still had to pack. This included my family heirlooms. They also placed heavy books inside my Christmas ornaments Bin. There were cans of paint inside my old pictures box and we told them not to move that paint as it was for the old house. Who puts cans of paint in a treasured photo box? We cannot find out sheets or our TV cables.
The guys wear nice enough but one was very haphazard in the packing. About 30% of the boxes were not labeled which made unpacking difficult. My recommendation: Use Burna Moving instead.

My first time using movers, needed two huge PODS with all our heavy furniture unloaded into our new home. They scheduled me for an afternoon move, I was very concerned that being the 3^rd stop for the day for them that the crew would be too tired to get good results, was completely amazed that the 3 guys did the project in about 2.5 hours, beyond happy with the service, the 3 guys were also great and personable, would use them again without hesitation.

My husband and I have hired Good Move Movers two times within the last month. First we had to move out of our townhome into a storage unit and the second time was out of the storage unit into our new home. Both times Good Move Movers did an exceptional job. They were prompt, courteous and handled our items with care. Our couches were wrapped with shrink wrap and all of our furniture/​TVs were wrapped in blankets (they even let us keep the blankets on a few items and our TVs while they remained in storage). Their pricing is very fair (they offer a 5% discount if paying in cash) and they were very accommodating with our schedule (our second move was scheduled less than a week in advance and for a move on a Sunday). I do have to say, I was exhausted just watching them move our things! These guys strap dressers onto their backs with ease all while walking up and down flights of stairs!
Moving is very stressful/​overwhelming and Good Move Movers made the whole process painless and easier to deal with. I would highly recommend them and would definitely use them again in the future!

Good Move Movers were a pleasure to work with! They moved my father from his condo into a senior living facility and they handled the delicate nature of this transition with ease. The movers were hustling all day, but still were polite and professional. I would definitely recommend them.

Should be great movers. I’ve heard horror stories about local moves so I was scared. Good Moves helped me through my fears. The crew was amazing. Not only were they efficient, talented, professional they were personable. I can’t believe that I actually enjoyed the move. I rarely post my experiences so they must have been amazing (I will post horrible issues). Don’t hesitate to contact them… I’m not related
and they aren’t paying me. For more info I can be reached at

We moved from our home of over 20 years, stressful and overwhelming. Chris was quick to respond to our call for help. We also had to juggle the added stress of waiting for mortgage approval for the new buyers. Chris was positive and supportive, his quote was more than fair.
On the day of the move, we had a wonderful experience! Crew was great to work with, moved some heavy pieces, no mishaps, very personable.
We have moved before and I can honestly say this was the overall best experience. After the move I called our real estate agent and said you have to recommend these guys!

The whole team was fantastic. We moved in town, got a great rate and the day of the move went smoothly. I have moved well over 20 times in my life and this has by far been the easiest interaction with movers. The crew were nice, intelligent, and one even played with me and my son while we waited for the truck to come back with the second load. Highly recommended.

This company is great from top to bottom. Chris was great he came over and did a walk through estimate with my wife for our move. The packed us up the day before our closing and kept everything overnight. They were right on time for the loading and unloading of the truck. The lead guy both days was Randy and he was amazing. Very professional, honest, hard worker, and went above and beyond to make sure we were satisfied. I would rehire these guys in a second for a move!

I hired Good Move to haul just one item; a 400+ pound bathtub to the fourth floor of our new condo. No elevator! They picked it up from the showroom, wrapped it really well, and got it up there really quickly! Many other companies refused to do the job because it was too heavy, but they did and most importantly, they were really nice about it. I’ve hired movers who moan and complain if you have heavy furniture (and I always tell them before I hire) but these guys were great. Definitely recommend!

I recently used Good Move for complete packaging of my condo, along with move, storage and future delivery. Chris, the owner was very accommodating to our schedules. We found him to be down to earth and trustworthy. Overall, we felt we got excellent pricing on the move (although, the initial estimate was somewhat understated). The actual movers, were polite, fast paced and professional.
We would highly recommend Good Move again. Moving can be difficult and stressful, but Good Move made it bearable. I would also recommend letting them pack your belongings; they do an excellent job on keeping things safe.

We moved within the western suburbs of Chicagoland in August 2014. I called around before our planned move week and left a couple voicemails. Good Move was the first company that i actually spoke with. Chris the owner, took note of our details and quoted me a price. Well the next guy i called had apparently moved a few of my colleagues back in the day, so I found him on Unilocal and gave him a call. He gave me a much much higher price than good move and challenge me to find anybody that would move us for lower than what he quoted. He even offered to come out on Sunday and do a free assessment of our stuff. Well, no surprise, I called back Good Move and confirmed my move with them for Sunday August 31^st.
The positive experiences never stopped from that point, on Monday I received an email from Jill their The Office Admin with a written estimate as an attachment. That was reassuring, no surprises. Well on Tuesday we had our big closing on the house so as you can imagine things were really crazy from that point onward. Chris called me a couple times and followed up to get my confirmation on that estimate. He also asked if at all it was possible to switch our move date to Saturday but I told him no and he was happy to accommodate our request for a Sunday move.
The night before our move of August 30^th we were up most of the night trying to get as many boxes packed as far as possible. On the morning of August 31^st, Good Move showed up. As promised, a crew of three and a truck, promptly at 8:30 a.m. Tom, a supervisor took a quick look around and they immediately got to work, as the day progressed and loading up all our stuff into their truck. I was surprised at how efficiently they used the space inside the truck, because our entire 2 bedroom apartments worth of furniture seemed tucked away in the back. They put padding around our flat screen TV which we had wrapped in its own packaging. They had given us the option to carry it ourselves (they would load it into our minivan), but I decided against it because they seem to be doing such a good job and I let them take it in the truck.
My 10 year old daughter and I, driving our minivan, followed them to our destination address. They arrived before us, making great time. At that point we were around the halfway mark of their 3 hour minimum. It was getting to be really hot and humid (August day in Chicago) and we could appreciate the guys efforts as they went up & down our stairs and into the basement lugging the heavy items of furniture. i put my daughter on water duty and it was her job to keep the crew supplied with bottles of chilled water from our refrigerator’s in-​door dispenser. Towards the end, one of our nightstands was placed on the truck’s liftgate and fell forward onto our driveway. Tom immediately apologized and set to work with his tools repairing it. It was not bad only the front had popped off. To make up for it he told us he wouldn’t charge us for the extra half hour we had gone over.
When we settled up, true to their word, i wasn’t charged a dime more than their quoted estimate. Chris had even thrown in a discount if i paid in cash, which i did. My one small regret is that I had the exact amount of cash in my wallet and no more. I would have been happy to add a little extra because of our complete satisfaction with their service.
Bottomline: if you are looking for a reliable moving company with whom to trust your next move, look no further than Good Move Movers. They are a solid, local small business that is professional, consistent and truly cares about their customers. None of the big company bureaucracy and overheads here. Truly a Good Move!
