"The movers were on time and courteous. They were forthcoming with the moving process. They were very helpful with quickly getting my possessions from one point to another. Reggie and Lisa were great guides and answered all my questions. Mike and his crew were amazing. Very quick and careful. I have already recommended People Movers to several people. It was our second move with this company! Thanks for making a stressful situation easier."

"They charged us 1650 $ in place for 750$ citing that the person who took the list of inventory did not have couch and dining table listed. They moved dining chairs and one half of the couch. Then a guy from a customer service called and literally bullied us to pay extra. We did but this was an added stress to us. Bullies and cheaters "

Moving into a new home is one of life's most exciting and transformative experiences. That's why it's crucial to trust the right people with your move and the belongings you can't imagine leaving behind. Let us be part of your journey—our owners understand the significance of this transition, and knowing that families like yours put their trust in us brings us true joy. We'd be honored to be a part of your next chapter!

"Many of our boxes arrived in deeply damaged condition, with many of the worst boxes being those labeled as "fragile", as well as a few of our furniture pieces being delivered were damaged and broken SEE ATTACHED PICTURES. The most concerning of these incidents is the delivery of one of our boxes nearly completely ripped open, appearing to have been rummaged through. Our delivery driver showed up over an hour beyond our communicated window of 12pm-8pm, arriving at 9:15pm on a Sunday night which caused strain with our landlord and community as there are residential quiet hours. He also did not communicate this delay until around 7:45 pm. During the initial pick up, the crew lost the key to the service elevator for my apartment building and offered to cover $50 of the replacement fee but insisted if it cost anymore, it would be on me to cover this fee.

"We used Windy City Movers for an out of state move to SW Michigan and couldn't have been more pleased. Dash, the owner, took a personal interest in estimating the move's cost, and working with us to coordinate activities. They crew they sent was professional, and did a super job packing and unpacking our belongings and furniture. They moved both our condo and a number of items in our storage locker. Not a single item was broken or damaged, something that can't be said for other movers I've worked with. The cost was very reasonable for a move this complex and significantly below cost we were quoted by other moving companies with five star reviews."

"Mighty Movers stands out as the finest out as the finest moving company I have ever encountered. Their honesty and reliability are unmatched, and they treat your belongings with the utmost care, as if they were handling precious treasures. Having moved several times in the past, I often faced disappointing experiences—items damaged, unprofessional staff who seemed to drag their feet just to inflate the bill, or exorbitant charges that were never disclosed upfront. As a widow, I felt particularly anxious about finding a trustworthy mover. When I spoke with Mr. Robbie Seidel, I was still exploring my options, but his genuine demeanor immediately put me at ease. Taking a leap of faith, I chose Mighty Movers, and it turned out to be the best decision I could have made. I am incredibly thankful to have discovered this honest company, which employs only and hardworking individuals from start to finish. On moving day, the crew arrived punctually and worked diligently without wasting a moment. I was genuinely impressed by how quickly and efficiently the three team members operated, all while treating my belongings with the utmost gentleness. They handled everything, whether fragile or not, as if it were their own. I am quite particular about my possessions, and I was relieved to find everything in perfect condition after the move. They even took the time to assemble my furniture, completing the job right on schedule as Mr. Robbie Seidel had promised. If you are in search of a dependable and honest moving company, look no further. Hiring Mighty Movers will be a decision you won’t regret. I am more than 100% satisfied with their service, and should I ever need to move again, they will be my first choice without a doubt!"

FAQs for out-of-state moving service projects in Lake Forest, IL

When you're getting estimates or finalizing the transport schedule, be ready to provide your mover with your motorcycle's make and model, weight, dimensions, value, and overall condition. Let them know your preferred shipping method—open or enclosed—and your desired timetable. Don't forget to discuss insurance options, pick-up and drop-off locations, and ask about tracking your shipment.

When you're preparing your motorcycle for shipment, wash it well and make a list of any notable damage. Remove all personal items and deactivate any alarms. If your bike is shipping via crate, drain the gas from the tank and remove the battery. Put it into neutral gear for shipping. Be sure to take plenty of pictures for insurance purposes, if needed. Note any pre-existing cosmetic damage, like scratches and dings, and write down the mileage and the engine's condition.

You can ship your motorcycle by truck, train, plane, or boat. These methods ensure that your bike is securely fastened with the proper tie-down equipment during the journey. Truck shipments can be done with either open or enclosed trailers, while trains, planes, and boats offer different logistical routes. Contact an expert carrier to confirm the specific details and secure shipping methods to ensure your motorcycle reaches its destination safely.

Keeping your motorcycle upright during shipping prevents battery acid leakage and protects against engine hydrolock by ensuring oil doesn't enter the combustion chamber. This helps preserve the bike's structural integrity and performance. Professional motorcycle carriers have the proper equipment to keep your motorcycle safe and secure during the moving journey.
