Chicago Mover Recommendation (Westmont, Columbia, Time: fit in, renting, live in)

[alwaystraveling25]

Please don't use "Golan Moving" out of Skokie!

All three of the movers barely spoke English, and they simply put items wherever they had room in the apartment - I was lucky I managed to get my bed into my bedroom.

In addition, when I went to tip them, there were two (out of the three) movers there. I was tipping $40 dollars, which is about $13 per mover (I tipped the 4 movers I used to move here $40). The movers then had the audacity to ask for a $20 for the other guy! I was so exhausted, shocked, and tired that I just gave it to them.

Rest assured, I will NOT be using them again. Did I forget to mention that I told them I would not arrive in Chicago until 3PM, and three separate times, beginning at 9AM, they called me to ask if they could move me in early?

Good Luck - I would use Yelp as a guide, also, they should be helpful as well!

When I moved two weeks ago, I used Bob's Muscle for Hire (I said Bill's mistakenly in my last post, but just found their card). The guys were incredible movers (quick and safe). A little unique sales pitch (guy runs a re-hab house, which is cool), and the price is right and the did a great job.

not sure if links are allowed, but if not, I'll edit it out:

When I moved up from the Dallas/Ft Worth area a few weeks ago, I had "Chicago 123 Movers" unload my ABF truck into my 2nd floor condo. They were very careful and very fast. I'd definitely use them again in the future.

How is life in Lake View so far? Any complaints? Any raves? Questions?

Had a listing on craigslist. Odd that he never answered the phone. Dunno.

Google can differ; however, I can offer my opinion as someone who used them twice. They were very hard working, were right on time, and were really nice people in general!

How do I locate Golan's? Is it golansmoving.com? does anyone know their hourly rate? I am moving up from out of state and just need the truck unloaded.
