We used their full packing service for an out of state move to North Carolina and they did a phenomenal job. The packers wrapped all our fragile kitchen items and heavy furniture with extreme care. Not a single piece of glassware was broken or chipped when we unpacked.

I had a last minute cancellation with another mover and Big Shoulders saved the day. They managed to fit me into their schedule with only 48 hours notice.

Excellent experience moving to California. The truck arrived exactly within the delivery window they promised. The dispatch team kept me updated throughout the cross country trip.

I needed to move on short notice and they were able to accommodate me. The crew arrived ready to work and didn't waste any time. They were very professional and made sure I was happy with everything before they left.

One of the best things about this experience was the pricing. There were no hidden fees or surprise charges for extra stairs or long carries like I have dealt with in the past. The quote I got over the phone was what I paid on move day.

We just installed new hardwood floors, so I was very worried about scratches. The movers used floor runners and were extremely careful when moving the heavier pieces. Not a single mark was left behind. I highly recommend them.

Moving to North Carolina during the rainy season was a concern, but the movers did an excellent job of protecting everything from the elements. I really appreciated the communication from the dispatcher. Knowing where the truck was while it was on the road helped lower my stress level.

We needed to store most of our furniture while our floors were being redone. Their facility in Wood Dale is clean and climate-controlled, which was important for our wood antiques. Delivery back to the house was just as easy as the initial pickup.

I have several antique pieces that I was very nervous about moving. The team used plenty of padding and shrink wrap to ensure everything was protected. They treated my belongings as if they were their own. I couldn't be happier with the service.

Moving to a different state is always a nightmare, but this company made it manageable. The communication from the driver was excellent, and our items arrived within the promised window. They made a very complicated process feel simple.

My mother was very overwhelmed by her move into a smaller condo. The crew was exceptionally kind and took the time to listen to her directions regarding her fragile china. They were very respectful of her space and her belongings.

From the initial quote to the final box being unloaded, the communication was top notch. If I had a question about the insurance or the timing, someone always picked up the phone or replied to my email within the hour. It made a huge difference in the overall experience.

We used Big Shoulders for our office move last month. They handled the coordination with our building management and provided all the necessary insurance documents without any back and forth. The transition was smooth, and we were back up and running by Monday morning.

I have a heavy upright piano that has been in my family for years. I was worried about it being moved, but the guys knew exactly what they were doing. They used specialized equipment and plenty of padding to make sure it stayed in tune and mark-free.

The crew was incredibly patient with us while we figured out where to put each box in our new house. They even helped us reassemble the guest bed that we had trouble with. They were friendly, professional, and worked quickly without cutting corners.

I decided to splurge on the packing service and I am so glad I did. They used high quality materials and wrapped all of my glassware individually. Nothing broke during the transition, which is a first for me. Worth every penny for the peace of mind.

Since we were moving just a few blocks away within Wood Dale, we weren't sure if we needed a full crew. I am so glad we hired them. They knocked out the entire three-bedroom house in about five hours. It would have taken us all weekend to do it ourselves.

I was nervous about moving my parents across the country, but this company made it easy. They gave us a binding estimate that didn't change at the end. The office staff kept us updated the whole time, and the truck actually arrived in Arizona a day earlier than expected.

I hired them for a local move last month and was very impressed. The crew was professional and took great care not to scuff my freshly painted walls. They worked quickly but were never reckless with my furniture. I would definitely recommend them to anyone in the area looking for a stress-free experience.

The guys loading up the truck in Wheaton worked through freezing rain without complaining. Unloading in Colorado went just as well.

Solid out of state movers but make sure you label your boxes clearly.
