During this review I am going to compose myself to the best of my ability, since this company has…read morepissed me off to a level of pissed off that i have never been in my 37 years. We booked this company 3 weeks ago for a move. They told us we were the first move of that day and we had an appointment of 8am Saturday morning. Thursday before our move we get the confirmation call... Now we are at 11am.. This is fine with us, we just need to move. 10:30am Saturday morning day of the move. My wife received a call that they are running behind and that we are now moved to 5pm IF NOT SUNDAY Morning.... Yes Sunday morning... They have to call us back to confirm. By 1:30 we have not heard back from them. I call get someone that has no idea about my situation... I'm then told the owner will call.... NO CALLS at all not one. I called that number 25 times and left 5 vmails. It's the 30th and I have to be out by the 31st and this place dosent call me. I sat at my condo until 11pm that night all my clothes are packed, all my food is gone since we made it so we didn't have to move food... My 2 dogs are stressed out at this time and oh did I mention I ended the electric for that night since we were moving out.. Could I have ended the electric on Monday or Tuesday? Yes I could have.. But I didn't expect a company with this high of rating to be as completely unprofessional as they were. So Saturday night no power no ac apartment full of boxes totes and bags with no tv eating pizza in the dark. How could anyone run a company like this... How unprofessional are you? Use any other movers but these guys don't let this happen to you. In fact call these instead they are amazing and really helped us when others lied..... Update---- I wrote this review the day after they never showed that was July 31st it's Aug 2nd. You would think that with the move being scheduled for July 30th and after all they did us that I would have received a call the first business day back? Right? Wrong no call just both numbers going to vmail...no one has called and talked to us... Update as of 8/9/16 more calls placed still no return call.

I used them in 2015 and had no problems. 2016 Was NOT the same experience. The guys that did the…read morepacking SEEMED to know what they were doing, however, when the load arrived, the boxes clearly marked HEAVY were on the top of the load, several had fallen as they were NOT SECURED PROPERLY, and I had a LOT OF DAMAGE. They did NOT HONOR my claim AT ALL!! They said "IT'S NOT OUR FAULT, ALL WE DID WAS PACK IT AND LOAD IT. Another company drove it to FL, it is obviously their fault." REALLLLLLLY I'd NEVER recommend this company again - they have NO INTEGRITY!!! I do have pictures of the damaged items - they totally destroyed a printer stand that was extremely sturdy, but couldn't sustain a HEAVY box falling on it!! Other items damages had been handmade in China when I was there and had it shipped home. It made it just fine from around the world but not from IL to FL!! REALLLLLLLLY

Movers wrapped all the big items in plastic wrap and blankets before moving. They loaded the truck and also unlocked the truck and got all the items and placed them to related place in bedroom as requested. We did not take picture of all the items for this review as we already arranged them on same day considering move completed pretty early.

I don't usually leave reviews, but this experience with Borz was bad enough that I felt obligated…read moreto. I scheduled a small studio move that should have taken two hours, which is their minimum. The day before my move, Jae sent a text and email alerting me that my move had been rescheduled. There was no call or conversation asking if this change was okay. This should have been the first red flag. The movers arrived on time and I initially thought this was a good sign because of the whole rescheduling situation they were trying to pull. I quickly realized they showed up completely unprepared. They did not bring any of the materials I paid extra for or the moving materials Borz included at no extra cost. They were not upfront about this and only admitted it after I confronted them. Because of this, packing was delayed and took much longer than necessary. After packing, my new apartment was less than ten minutes away and literally impossible to get lost. You drive out of my building and go straight down the same street. Despite this, the movers took an hour to arrive. I have photo proof that Mark sent me showing he was parked at an address that was not the designated location for over 30 minutes, which was clearly a stalling tactic. Despite having clear instructions from my building, the driver chose not to follow them and wasted another 30 minutes circling the building. He eventually parked and told me he had been to this address before. If that were true, there is no explanation for why it took an hour to travel a five-minute distance. From about 1:50pm to 2:45, Borz wasted an hour on travel time alone, adding an unnecessary hour to my move. Once unloading was nearly finished, they paused to discuss payment before completing the job. I had to repeatedly ask Mark to bring in my mattress. How are you calling operations when the job isn't finished? This felt like another attempt to stall and push the time more, especially after already running up the clock unnecessarily. Jae later tried to frame my paying a lower amount than the estimate as a big "discount" and implied I should be grateful. Not charging me for materials that were never provided is not a discount. I should have actually received a discount for the movers arriving unprepared with the expected materials and for taking an hour to drive between two locations that does not even take an hour to walk between. The issues here was the lack of honesty, poor communication, and disorganization that caused the move to take much longer than it should have. When I asked to speak with a manager, Jae refused and hung up on me but not before arguing with me about my experience that she was not present for. Overall, this company shows a lack of accountability and professionalism. I will not be using Borz again and would not recommend them to anyone even if they were they only moving company on earth.

We looked and called a lot of movers, some of which wanted a list of every piece of furniture and the dimensions of all the rooms!! I called up Move Assist, Mark the owner answered the phone, I gave him the general amount of furniture and other stuff we wanted to move the date and they have quotes on their website so you can get an idea of the prices. Plus you can provide the truck or they can. They arrived, surveyed the apartment and got to work, how they managed to fit everything into that truck I will never know but they did! And really fast too! They made sure to wrap up out delicate furniture and make sure our glass doors were safe. Brought our stuff up to the 2nd floor (at no extra charge!) and put it just where we wanted it. They were a third of the cost of a large moving company!! And very funny and polite, really really great guys! I would definitely recommend if you are looking for a great moving service at a great price. Thanks guys!!!

If you're shopping around for movers, keep looking! I fell for a 5 star rating on the "Mother…read moreCompany" of Allied Movers, and didn't dig deep enough to find reviews for Pickens Kane. Had I found them, I would have known better. That's why I'm letting you know...... My move was grossly underestimated, and the movers ran out of blankets. They had to get a second truck. But no extra blankets. They moved my belongings into a storage unit for several days before reloading everything into yet another two trucks, and STILL DID NOT BOTHER to bring more blankets! It is totally inexcusable to tell me they would do a better job than I could in packing my prized family heirlooms - I'll let the photo speak for itself. And yes, I had a lot of damaged items - and their idea of a settlement was rather sad. BTW - the quote was A THIRD of what it finally turned out to be! As I said - keep looking. I wish I had.

I hate moving. There. I said it. It is right up there on my list of going to the dentist and…read moresitting in endless meetings. But I have to say, as complicated as this move was, Pikens-Kane pulled it off almost flawlessly and that is saying a lot given other moves that I have done. Let's talk briefly about the complexity of this move. Most moves go from here to there but this move actually required 4 different component moves. From the old house in the suburbs to a new downsized apt in city, from the old house to WI, from the old house to storage, and from the old house to a location in Fort Lauderdale, there were multiple moves all over a series of weeks. Each component of this move was complex and Pikens Kane made it look easy. Mike D came and went through the house to determine how we would do all the segments of the move. He made sure the packers showed up when they were supposed to and that the trucks were loaded on the right days and sent to the right location. Not only most everything get to where it was going and on time, we had no damage with this move which is a rarity with any moving company. So hats off to Pikens-Kane! If there was any hiccup it's that one box that was supposed to get packed, didn't and unfortunately got sold at the moving sale. It caused a little drama but Adrian jumped right in to make sure it wasn't in one of the other locations before telling me it didn't get moved. Disappointing but in the scheme of things a small problem. This could have easily been averted had I been home at the time of the packing as the packers moved it from one floor to another to get packed and then it just didn't get boxed up. All in all, one of the smoothest moves I have done and I've moved all over the world. If you've got a move coming up, you should let them bid your job. It probably won't be the cheapest bid you get, but somethings are worth paying more for to get right.

Update #2: Lol, that is how you respond? I guess I shouldn't…read morebe surprised! Considering you can't seem to handle an honest review. Which is evident by the way you've responded to other negative reviews. I am openly gay and clearly you're a homophobe. Thank you for letting the world know via your response. I'm sorry if me being gay made Frank and his coworker feel uncomfortable. They probably should have said so immediately and not have taken so much time to complete the job or offer to help move boxes around when they noticed there was still some time left. They both also lingered after to converse with me, both of them shook my hand and asked me to keep them in mind for future moves. Clearly, no one was flirting with anyone and no one felt uncomfortable. Joe, you just don't know how to act professionally. Update: After a rude message from their manager, Joe, implying the damage to the stuff they moved was possibly my fault, I have to lower their star rating. It's not as if I was requesting compensation for the damage, I just wanted to leave an honest review and still he felt the need to act combatively. When the first moving company I hired failed to confirm their services 48 hours before the move date I was forced to call around to find another company who could do the job on short notice. Well Move You 4 Less stepped up and they even showed up 30 minutes early. Which I appreciated because I wasn't forced to wait around. However, I can't honestly say that all of my belongings made it to my new place in one piece. Some items were damaged and because of that I cannot, in good conscience, leave them 5 stars. They were professional and worked quickly.

Mayflower somehow seems to have good reviews mostly but my mistake being i didn't look up Ft. Dearborn. Moving is never easy and with me starting a new job in WY where i have to be at work almost 13 hours a day it wasn't easy at all. I planned my whole work / personal life around the delivery window of two weeks that was given me. I lived in an almost empty apartment and making do with things hoping my stuff with arrive any day. My move coordinator Debra C. did a poor at communication. I never received any updates and i was the one constantly reaching out to find where the things are at. Today i emailed D.C. and i was told that my stuff MIGHT BE loaded on a truck on the last day of my delivery window. They have no regard for their customers and do whatever they want. They do NOT care if you are without your home for almost a month as long as they collect their massive bills and are happy. As the review mentions 2.5 weeks in , i am still without my stuff. I have been told that my last day on my DELIVERY window is when the stuff MIGHT BE LOADED. If i could give 5 thumbs down to them i would. THE WORST moving experience for me. I would recommend stay away from this company and i will update my review as things progress. UPDATE : I just read another review further down where Debra C. was the coordinator and the customer was told the exact same things e.g We do not have a driver to - You are running a moving company and you do not have a driver. I run a cinema but you know what - i do not have a movie player

Fort Dearborn Relocation is under the Blackhawk Moving/ Mayflower umbrella. I recently used them to…read moremove from Chicago to Las Vegas and I initially went with them as I read many many reviews on all the companies I researched to just pay the extra money and go with Mayflower well I did and was 100% unsatisfied as 70% of my moving boxes were completely crushed, broken, damaged resulting in over $500 worth of damage. My Las Vegas location was not my final destination so my boxes were going to just be in storage for a few months but instead of an easy unload in Vegas I had to spend hours to unpack all boxes, check for damage on my items and then repack into new boxes. The lack of timely communication from the company was a huge inconvenience on their procedure along with overall satisfaction on my end of how they uhandled the final outcome of this matter. I had wasted so much energy and time going back and forth dealing with the result of their carelessness on my personal items. I could have gone with a different company that quoted $1600 to move across country and probably would have been better than the result of Mayflower as it seemed they threw my boxes across country. Unfortunately spending money for a well known name company didn't work in my favor this time.
