John & Clint helped me move. They were very courteous and arrived early. After a short walk-though the house, they got right to work. This was one of the first really hot days of the year, 90+, and they did a great job. They were very respectful of our property. There were a few scuffs on the wallpaper, due to a very tight turn on the stairs. They informed me of them as soon as they happened. We could not have completed the job without them. Great work guys!! I would highly recommend.

Showed up on time.Worked hard. One of them dropped the drawers out of a table and the drawers were damaged.That resulted in an antique being ruined. It was a stupid mistake but one that a professional moving company would not have made. One has to remember that these guys are just selling muscle to the highest bidder, and they probably aren’t working their way through med-school.

Chris and his crew arrived on time. They were all very pleasant and hard working. This team knew exactly how to pack my moving van to capacity without compromising the load. All of my items arrived in tack and damage free. Thank you Illinois Valley Movers for a job well done!

The crew was an hour late, but they called to notify me. They were helpful, but not particularly careful with my furniture. Their packing of the truck was not secure, and I was forced to stop and repack the load within two blocks when the chairs which they had tied down became loose with the first bump. They were reluctant to use furniture pads even when I encouraged them, relying on unpadded wood furniture to be "wedged together." The furniture suffered cosmetic damage and one unrestrained piece of glass was broken. Could have done better.

Mover's response:
YOU hired us to empty your sisters apartment into a dumpster and put some items on a truck. WHEN we spoke you did not mention anything about wood furniture being mistreated. IT is standard for all wood to be wrapped . You where rushing my guys and you did not even have ratchet straps for your load .I feel my guys did the best they could with the materials and time frame you gave them.I gave you 50$ to replace the piece of glass. NOT SURPRISED you forgot to mention that..

Our movers went above and beyond what was needed. The move took much longer then we thought and both movers were friendly and very cooperative. They made our move a lot smoother.

Chris was professional, very helpful, cooperative, and punctual. He is the epitome of what customer service is all about! Chris would make a great customer-service trainer/manager. He is very intelligent and has unlimited potential. I hope the powers that be recognize Chris's full potential and give him a leg up the ladder of success that he so deserves!!! Thank you Chris for giving us your very best!!!

Mover's response:
Thank you Diana!
