The Importance of Planning Your Local Mover In Chicago
Moving can be a stressful time, but many people often leave their last call to schedule the movers! It is always a great idea to schedule your move with a professional and licensed mover like All My Sons of Chicago. We have a good reputation in the Chicago land area and tend to book moves very quickly, especially at the end of the month when many leases and rent contracts expire. It is a good idea to schedule your move as soon as you know when and what you are moving. This gets you a reservation to move and a lot of stress and worry off your mind!
We recommend at least ten days notice for a move for a move during the middle of the month. If you are planning to move during the end or beginning of any month, we recommend at least four weeks notice for a reservation. Most people know they are moving months in advance, and the further in advance you call us, the more availability we will have on our schedule. If you call a week in advance to schedule a move for the end of the month with a high volume mover such as All My Sons, it may be more difficult to find a spot on the schedule, although it is not impossible. We realize that some circumstances require a move to be scheduled a few days in advance of the anticipated date, and we do our best to accommodate that.
Calling a local mover in Chicago 24 hours in advance may get you a slot on a mover’s schedule, but it may not be the mover of your choice. Always allow yourself enough time to research a mover and their reputation, especially with the Better Business Bureau. Make sure they are in good standing with the Better Business Bureau and they have all their complaints resolved. Be a proactive and educated consumer! Do not use a mover that baits you with a low price – we have heard terrible stories from customers about these sorts of companies (which are often operating illegally in the Chicago land area, especially if they offer you a flat rate for a local move) about how unprofessional the movers were, all the hidden fees, and the lack of insurance and proper license, leading to large damages that will never be settled.

The movers were very friendly. They introduced themselves and shook our hands. They explained in detail how the day would be organized. They were very prepared. We were very nervous about the move, but the movers made it so easy that we had no stress during the day. One of the movers even got stuck in the freight elevator in our building but he had a good sense of humor about it and even laughed it off. They were also very quick! I can’t think of anything to have made the move better! - Chris and Kim from Oswego

Questions to ask your mover
Naturally, you will have a lot of questions on your move day, whichwe have addressed in some previous blogs. There are also some good questions to ask your mover! We are here to talk over the phone everyday, and you can always ask your movers any questions you have on the day of the move as well. We like to use this blog as an outlet to answer some commonly asked questions of our drivers. Some are:
-How long will my move take? It all depends on how much you are moving and what you are moving. Usually it takes us about an hour per room of furniture (about a half hour to load, another half hour to unload). Getting boxes onto and off the truck is typically much quicker than trying to get a piano on and off the truck.
-How will we protect furniture? We always bring quilt pads with us to protect your furniture.
-Will my things all fit into the truck? We can usually fit about 9000 pounds onto our 26 foot trucks (up to the legal weight limit). It all depends on exactly what you are moving. A lot of boxes that can be stacked on top of each other will fit easier on a truck than a lot of exercise equipment that cannot be broken down. Bulkiness, density and volume all play a part. The better packed a customer is, the quicker we can load as well as increasing the amount we can also load.
-Should I tip the movers? That is entirely up to you. We pay our employees for the work that they do, and they are not depending on tips. If they provide a good job and you feel like they deserve a tip, the amount is entirely up to you. Tipping is customary for local movers in the Chicago area.
-Do you provide boxes? We bring boxes on the move day in the truck with us. We even provide four free wardrobe boxes on loan during the move! We have boxes available for purchase as well. If you know you will need packing assistance or need to pack a few boxes at the last minute, give us a cal land we can notate your needs in our system.
-Can I help in the moving process? All My Sons employees are the only people allowed onto the truck for insurance purposes. If you are trying to expedite the process, get everything ready in one room or outside BEFORE we arrive. Once we start the move process, you cannot be involved for insurance reasons Relax and know that your goods are in professional hands that work efficiently to get it done! That is why you hired us.
-Can I ride in the truck? No - only employees of All My Sons are allowed in or on the vehicle at any time!

Why get a visual estimate?
Often we are asked: Why get a visual estimate when other moving companies are trying to sell me their business over the phone? All My Sons Moving and Storage of Chicago is a trustworthy source for accurate quotes, especially when one of our talented estimators comes to your home and visually estimates your move. Especially when you are moving a large home or moving long distance, it is imperative that somebody take a look at all it is that you are moving. I can anticipate that you would be wondering “Why?” Many disreputable and inexperienced local companies in the Chicago area will try to sell you with a bait-and-switch low price versus a competitively priced quality move will almost always tell you any price to get your business. But, beware! They will be quick to sell you a price over the phone without ever looking at what you have.
When you are moving long distance, your move is based on the weight of your move as well as how far it is going. For accuracy, our highly experienced estimators will come to your home and take an inventory of the goods that you are moving. While we are able to sometimes give a very general ballpark estimate of what the cost may be over the phone, it is so much better for us to visually see what you have. For instance, it is easy for us to ask what you are moving, and a normal response is “a bed, a couch, some boxes, a kitchen table, etc.” A single bed on a basic metal frame weights a lot less than a queen sized bed with a wooden frame and canopy. A love seat made of feathers weighs a lot less than an overstuffed, eight foot couch. And, a small, breakfast style kitchen table with two chairs would be handled and weigh differently from a fifteen foot, glass top table with a metal base. It is always hard for us to guesstimate how much “some” boxes will weigh versus being able to see that you have 50 various sized boxes that are packed full. Since we are able to see exactly what you have, we can give you a fair, honest quote with a quality mover. Let us leave a great first impression with you by doing a visual estimate!
A large, local move is also a great time for us to introduce ourselves through a visual estimate. Local moves are based on the amount of men we send to your home (which is determined by the estimated weight that is at your home) and how long it takes them to complete your job. It is easy for us to estimate many of the calls we receive over the phone since most require a two or three man team, but a move that would require anything more than that should be seen by an estimator. This is because a four or more man team usually means there is a lot of weight at the starting home, and there is probably some specialty or heavy items that will need some special attention. Our experienced estimators can see how to effectively protect the items and make sure adequate man power is sent to handle all the weight. This will allow us to demonstrate our efficiency to you by giving a fair and honest quote based upon what you have.
Even if you are a first time mover without a lot of goods, it is nice to have the reassurance of an estimator come to your home and explain the process to you in person. We are high quality, full service, professional movers that can calm all your moving fears. Best of all, our visual estimates are free of charge! Don’t let a lot of the internet based movers fool you – they will bait you with a low price over the phone, often without gathering a lot of information from you about your move, and then switch their price once it comes time to pay the bill. Be an informed consumer and check out the movers you are considering. Even get a few estimates: if a price seems too good to be true, it probably is! The reputable moving companies in the Chicago area will have a similar quote - and why not use the company that uses modern moving with old fashioned care: All My Sons Moving and Storage of Chicago! We have a lot of local moving experience and knowledge behind what we do to make your move a smooth experience.
All My Sons Moving and Storage of Chicago prefers to be up-front and honest about our prices so that you know what to expect. Moving is stressful enough, and we don’t want you to be stressed over the price when it is time to pay. We are fast, courteous, efficient, careful, professional local movers in Chicago as well as your trusted movers going long distance.

Packing Advice
Hello! This is Jessica again, and I would love to offer some packing advice in this blog. All My Sons can help you pack or you can pack your belongings yourself. Often customers will call and ask for packing advice and will wonder how much to pack in a box as well as what to pack in a box. The best overall answer I can always give for packing any sort of box is to never over pack or over stuff a box full of heavy items. It is amazing how quickly weight can accumulate in a box, especially if you are packing CDs, DVDs, books, and clothes. We recommend using a smaller box for items accumulate weight quickly when placed together. We have come across some moves where we encounter large boxes full of heavy items, and when they are attempted to be picked up, the bottom of the box is ready to break under all the weight. All My Sons offers a 1.5 cubic foot box that is perfect for packing such items. For bigger, bulkier, but lighter items such as comforters, pillows, and towels a large box around 4.5 cubic feet will often work. For most items in between, such as toys and kitchen appliances, a 3.0 cubic feet medium box will work.
All My Sons also offers specialty boxes. We can help pack items that will not normally fit into a regular, square box, like paintings and mirrors. Our mirror pack unfolds and can easily be shaped around unusual pieces. All My Sons also offers a strong, durable dish packs to pack all of your dishes and china. We recommend using newsprint (which is similar to the paper they use to print your newspaper on, but with no inks on it) or bubble wrap to help protect your glass dishware. For your clothing, we have wardrobe boxes that include a bar to hang your clothing and keep them on the hangar for easy transport to your new closet. All My Sons Chicago even offers four free wardrobe boxes on loan for your move day!
One of the most helpful tips we offer to customers when packing is to label everything! That way, when we are delivering you to your new residence, we can assist you in placing your boxes in the appropriate rooms. Often just a ?master bedroom? or ?kitchen? written on a box can save a lot of time when you are unpacking, because your boxes full of utensils can already be sitting in your kitchen waiting for you!
Additionally, use caution when packing items that might leak or spill when you pack them. For instance, if you pack your shampoo or liquid hand soap, put them on the top of the box where they will not be under a lot of pressure and spill their contents all over everything else in the box. It is often a good idea to wrap those types of items up in a plastic bag as well.
A lot of customers want to protect their large items (their couch, love seat, etc) just as they are protecting their smaller items in boxes. We are committed to handling your furniture with care, and we will pad wrap all your furniture accordingly for the move. This is a service we provide to you at no extra cost!
All My Sons can always help you with your packing needs, questions, and concerns. If you ever need help with your packing, we can provide it for you! For further questions, you can consult us by calling our office or using the following webpage as a reference: http://www.allmysons.com/ams_packingguide.aspx#boxes

My job is to not just to move you, but get you ready to move safely and soundly. Local moving and long distance moving require a great deal of care from licensed, professional movers who know the Chicago area.
Whether you are a Chicago local mover or Chicago long distance mover, the same basic rules apply. Preparation is key when moving locally or out of state. Decide what you want to keep and what you can live without. Local moves are time based and long distance moves are weight based. With our extensive knowledge of local moves in Chicago as well as long distance moving, we will be able to save you money through the care we take with your goods and the professionalism we provide.
Get your estimate in writing and get an on-site inspection if you have more than 4 rooms. All My Sons Moving and Storage of Chicago provides dozens of FREE (that's right, free!) estimates every week of the year. It doesn't matter if you are moving from Chicago and moving to a suburb, like Hinsdale, or if your move is Naperville to Naperville. This will help you with cost control.
ONLY SEEK ESTIMATES FROM LICENSED, PROFESSIONAL MOVERS! Do not be afraid to ask to see their insurance certification! There are many "brand x" movers that have no insurance! Often, you can check their BBB record to see if they respond to their customer's challenges.
