Best Move from Chicago to Seattle

by ConnerIrish at Citysearch

I had spent most of my formative years in England but then i got this great job opportunity in the US about ten years ago and have been here since then. However I must admit that I haven’t done a lot of moving in the last decade that I’ve spent here so I don’t have a lot of experience with moving companies. So when I had to move from Chicago to Seattle I did what any other person would’ve done I looked online and that’s where I found Best Price Moving and Storage I found their prices to be reasonable so I decided to give them a chance over some of the other more established companies and I am very happy about my decisions. They are an excellent Chicago Moving Company! The guys at Best Price are all very friendly and they are always ready to help you out every step of the way from telling you about how you can save on packaging material to being courteous enough to call you and let you know at what time they will be bringing your stuff over; they do it all. Highly recommended!

• Pros: Affordable, Reliable, and all around good people
• Cons: Nothing that I know of :)

A Great Moving Experience!

by Ginger1 at Citysearch

Best Price Moving and Storage was truly professional and courteous. We had a lot to move over a long distance. We moved from Illinois to Ohio and needed a long distance moving company who could handle the load for a family of 6. The moving foreman came in, evaluated the situation, created a plan, began disassembling furniture that needed taken apart, placed tags on every item leaving the house, and made sure all of my family’s belongings were protected properly.

Once we finally arrived at our new home, the guys evaluated our new home and noted where we wanted everything to go. While unpacking we didn’t encounter boxes or household items placed in the wrong rooms. This made the unpacking process much easier for us. As I was unpacking, I noticed that nothing was broken. Everything was in perfect condition.

I have moved before, but I must say that this is the least stressful move I have ever experienced. I recommend Best Price Moving for anyone looking for a more pleasurable and stress-free move. Because they are not afraid to ask questions and they make sure that no stone is left unturned. There were no moments of panic at all because of something that was not done. That’s because everything was done right.

• Pros: Smooth interstate move, estimate was right on, great price

Not to be trusted

by Nikki22 at Citysearch

How this company got five stars is beyond me. This is a sleazy, untrustworthy company and I hope they get shut down.

The sales people are very good and very convincing but when things start going wrong its almost impossible to get a hold of anyone.

Brian Slater came to my apartment in Chicago and he was very nice, he gave me a great estimate so I decided to go with the company. Unfortunately I didn't take the time to read any reviews or else I would not have used Best Price.

I expected my things to arrive in my new home in Phoenix within a few days and when they didn't I got worried and tried to call but all I got was disconnected numbers, and an email address that is not in use.

When my things finally arrived they would not unload the truck until I paid them, they would not even let me look in the truck until I paid them.

I had only one small box full of personal, fragile items that are irreplaceable. I wrote BREAKABLE in great big letters so that they would know to take care of it and sure enough there is a big dent in the box where it had been dropped and the contents inside were shattered. I understand that accidents happen but I can't even get an apology out of these people.

Not only that but I didn't receive my microwave, my blender or a box of car parts from a 55 Chevy. I don't know if these things were lost or stolen but 55 year old car parts are not easy to find and I want them back.

I filed a claim but the claim company is no help. Do not use Best Price Moving & Storage. Rent a truck and do it yourself.

• Pros: I'm lucky to have gotten the mojority of my things back.
• Cons: Broken and missing items

An Excellent Piano Move by BP

by DianaMc at Citysearch

I lost my job four months ago and it simply made more sense to move in with my parents to make ends meet and it was very kind of them to accommodate me. Now even though I had sold off some of the furniture there were some things that I simply did not want to part with. Like a piano which was a gift from a very special person. I went with Best Price Moving and Storage because they were reasonably priced but when they came to pick my stuff I was really worried about the piano because I my apartment was on the third floor and I wasn’t confident that three guys would be able to lift that heavy piano but they did and they loaded it into the truck with ease. But it almost felt like I was holding my breath to see my piano again fortunately when it was delivered to me it didnt have a scratch on it. I don’t intend to stay with my parents forever and the next time I have to move I am only calling these guys.

• Pros: Not a scratch on my piano!

Thank goodness I didnt use a broker!

by gclegg at Citysearch

The problem with most moving companies is that they dont do their work themselves. Most times when you pay a deposit you are actually paying a broker who n turn will outsource your work to a moving company . They dont have trucks or staff of their own and thats why the additional charges. So what you are doing is paying two companies for the same job the broker and the movers. Now I was well aware of this kind of activity so I was very careful when I had to choose a moving company. Best Price Moving and Storage was backed by a solid reputation and many good reviews. and they lived up to their reputation. No additional charges and the people who picked up my things were their employees and the trucks belonged to the company. I was very happy with the service and highly recommend it. Casey was excellent to work with!

• Pros: Casey was excellent
