This was the smartest idea we had for our move. We had a month to move and didn't want to spend too much money so we rented the 20 boxes package plus 2 dollies and half a pack of wrapping paper and in 2 weeks we were able to move everything that needed to be boxed. This was definitely worth it plus drop off and pick up for free makes this unbeatable! read more

Would highly recommend The Chicago Green Box to anyone who is moving. Great eco friendly way to get from here to there, and the material of the boxes prevents against your stuff getting crushed! Delivery and Pick Up were super easy and stress free. Hopefully I don't move again anytime soon, but when I do I'll be using Green Box again. read more

A great alternative to buying cardboard moving boxes. The delivery to my unit was quick and having the pickup a week after moving ensured that I was unpacking and not sitting amongst boxes for months on end. As always, The Professionals are kind, on time, and careful in dropping off/picking up. read more

Great idea of reusable moving boxes to make moving much easier. Similar pricing to their competitors. They smell a bit probably from the cleaning solution. They brought the boxes all the way up the stairs and later collected them as well. Only taking off a star because the dolly wheels were dirty so would recommend checking the wheels before rolling it over your floors. read more

This service was great and so easy. Delivering the boxes only took a minute of my time, they were very efficient. The boxes stored way more then I thought they would. Also they were easily stackable so I could. Keep everything orderly while I was packing. And bonus for having handles! So they were really easy to move around, I'm pretty sure my movers greatly appreciated that. All in all this is the only way I'm moving from now on. Double bonus: they picked them up for free so I didn't have to find a place to recycle those stupid cardboard boxes and feel horrible for ruining so many trees just to move. :-) read more

Hassle free! I ordered the boxes super easily, and they were delivered right on time. They were clean. On the day scheduled for pick-up, they were picked up. I used them for moving. SOOO much better than cardboard boxes! No need to tape up or put together. No need to break apart and figure out where to toss out after! Highly recommend. I think this actually saves you money over cardboard, in the currency of peace of mind and general cleanliness! read more

Why use cumbersome paper boxes with all that tape and hassle when you can use plastic, reusable boxes that are delivered to your door? I've used these boxes for my last two moves. There is no better way to move. The boxes click shut--no tape. You use their dolly which allows you to move a lot of boxes with ease. The delivery man was on time--both for drop off and pick up. He was so nice and made things so easy for me. the company was even able to accommodate when I wanted my empty boxes picked up early. Great service. Thank you Green Box! read more

First timer! I rented the 30 box pack for a 5 mile move. Chicago Green Box was prompt with the drop-off. Thanks Guys. Here's my Top 10 that made CGB the New Standard for all of my future relocations. 1. CGBoxes came with a push dolly/cart that they fit in perfectly, making moving the packed boxes a breeze. 2. Savings, savings, savings, NO BUYING cardboard boxes: est: $100-125 3. No buying tons of tape to put them together: est: $20-30 4. No house full of card-boxes after move; no breaking boxes down 5. Keep CGBoxes for 14 days; time it just right and you can have 9-10 days to unpack 6. CGBox was prompt when picking the boxes up; no waiting for hours and hours 7. Using these boxes forces you to unpack or pay to keep them longer. 8. The boxes are made of heavy duty plastics; my move had absolutely no damage to property (i.e., glass items). 9. I am probably moving again very-very-very soon, will not hesitate to schedule CGB for that move as well. 10. Cost+Time+Safe+Convenient+No Brainer=$avings. MontezG tip to the People of Chicago is "Go Green"! read more

Chicago Greenbox was incredibly easy, prompt, and professional. I would recommend them to anybody moving! The plastic boxes make SO much more sense than going to Home Depot to buy boxes, tape them together, then worry that they'll be dinged or squished or break in the move. Only removed one star because our movers said they hurt their hands; the larger boxes were a bit difficult for them to carry. DEFINITELY recommended for office moves though. read more

So happy I stumbled on The Chicago Green Box.... Forget about looking for boxes... Forget the hassle of taping... Forget about breaking them down... Forget about cleaning it up... I ordered around 15 boxes... Delivery was so quick and efficient, Boxes were sturdy & clean. Easy to maneuver Pack and stack and repeat BOTTOM LINE-- EASY EASY EASY EASY! I am DEFINITELY using them again and again till the end of time... xoxo, your going green girl Koko read more

Moving from a ground floor condo to a 4th floor had me worried about using cardboard boxes for moving all my stuff. I used these boxes along with some cardboard boxes I received from friends. These green boxes made packing MUCH easier. The big advantage is the sturdy size and ability to stack. Once you start pulling your possessions out of their stored locations for packing, they need to go somewhere once they're in boxes and cardboard boxes can only be stacked a couple high. The green boxes stacked easily and let me make stacks that were out of my way while packing. They also were faster for the movers to haul away, making the move faster. Delivery and dropoff was speedy and efficient. Great communication from the company confirming pickup and dropoff times. read more

I hate hunting down cardboard boxes, and it seems wasteful to just throw them away after using them. Enter Chicago Greenbox. The boxes (more like tubs) were clean, delivered and picked up on time, sturdy, spacious, and easy to maneuver. After moving several times in the past ten years, I'd have to say that this contributed to probably the easiest move ever. I am definitely going to use them again in the future. I'm so happy I went with them. It wasn't expensive at all--and totally worth the money when you factor in how long it takes to find cardboard, buy packing tape, put everything together, take boxes apart when you're done, and then haul everything to the trash. You won't regret using them. read more

On time and polite for drop off. Very quick with delivery. Pickup was also smooth and he called to let me know he was 10 minutes away. Quality of the boxes used are great - lighter than Red Box and price was also better. Will be using again if need be! We also used the Moving Professionals for our move and they were just as good. Great service, price and works are friendly and respectful of your items. read more

Just moved a week ago and used a combination of cardboard boxes and Chicago GreenBox. The service, delivery, and pick-up were all great and efficient. Boxes were sturdy but light and held my items so much better than cardboard boxes would have. Not to mention the time and effort saved in building and breaking down boxes! I will definitely be using this service again for any future moves. I also used the Moving Professionals for my move and the guys were great! Really impressed with this company - thanks for making my move as painless as possible! read more

I am so happy I decided to use Green Box for our move! Order, delivery and pickup were totally easy to manage from booking online to the professional employees who kept me updated. They deliver about a week before your move then pick up another week after your move and this was the perfect deadline for us! Now our apartment is totally unpacked! No more random boxes you don't unpack for 3 years. read more

Loved our experience with The Chicago Green Box! I had some leftover boxes from a recent move, so we did half and half -- some green boxes, some reused traditional moving boxes. I submitted the request late and they were still able to fulfill the order for just two days later. The staff arrived at the very beginning of the drop-off and pick-up windows and were very friendly and efficient. The boxes fit most anything and are very easy to stack and store while you pack up. The moving companies really seemed to appreciate them, too -- much easier to move in stacks than regular boxes. We will certainly go back to them for our next move (in hopefully many years -- it's exhausting!). read more

These boxes were the perfect way to reduce waste for our move and they were so convenient! They were dropped off and picked up perfectly on time. The boxes were easy to pack everything from clothes to small appliances from the kitchen. Definitely would recommend! read more

Using these boxes made my life so much easier! Didn't have to worry about getting boxes or disposing of them. They fit a lot and can hold a lot, but of course keep in mine that a human will be moving them so don't overload. Everyone with greenbox was super courteous and I'm happy I gave them a try and will definitely use them again in the future and recommend to friends! read more

I was able to move my entire three-office suite with thirty green boxes. The boxes were dropped off at my office with plenty of time to pack. When I was done moving there was no mess as the boxes were stackable which allowed me to set up my office quickly. I requested the boxes to be pickup, and it was done the next day. Thanks to Green Box I did not add a single cardboard moving box to a landfill. read more

This company is as professional and caring as it gets when it comes to moving. Not only do they allow you to keep the boxes for two whole weeks, they drop off and pick up from wherever you'd like them to! This saved me so much time, which is hard to come by during a move. I also have to give a shout out to the guy who picked up my boxes. I was about 10 minutes late coming home for him to pick up my boxes due to a Cubs game, but he was extremely understanding over the phone when I told him I was stuck in traffic. The next time I move, I will certainly be using The Chicago Greenbox. read more

I have rented these boxes for two separate moves, and will definitely rent again in the future. The boxes are clean, large, and so easy to stack and move. The best part is that they get dropped off and picked up , so you don't have to worry about fitting them all in your car or anything like that. Plus, since they stack so easily, it makes the actual moving process so much quicker. No more trying to carry two oddly shaped cardboard boxes at once, these green boxes are the way to go. Great customer service, timely deliveries, reasonable pricing. read more

Originally I was a bit skeptical about Chicago Green Box due to the upfront cost, but honestly I don't have enough positive things to say about how awesome this service was. I ordered 20 boxes for my small 1 bed, but probably could have used closer to 30 in the end. The boxes were easy to pack, and felt more secure than storing fragile items in cardboard boxes like I normally would have. The boxes were dropped off at the beginning of my 9-11am window, and picked up early as well- which I really appreciated. They even carried them up my 3rd floor walk-up without any complaints. Highly recommend these guys- it was awesome not to have any waste after the move, and nothing broke in the transport process! read more

Wonderful service and such a smart idea! Saved so much time and energy collecting cardboard boxes and breaking them down/getting rid of them. Boxes were dropped off right on time, we filled them up, our movers took them and the pickup was, again, right on time and so easy. Boxes were clean and in great shape when delivered. Would highly recommend to anyone for an upcoming move! read more

Such a good decision to do this. I was hesitant because I always did the ol' amazon boxes that are falling apart but free approach ... but now that I've seen the light no thank you! I got 20 boxes for my studio and it ended up being the perfect amount. They dropped off and picked up the boxes on time and were very friendly. The containers were clean, big, and it just made everything easier. read more

Chicago Green Box made the moving experience very easy and stress free! They showed up on time, at the beginning of the designated time frame. They were polite and professional. They picked up the boxes 2 weeks later from my new apartment, and move was complete! I highly recommend CGB for your next move! read more

Chicago Greenbox was incredibly convenient, helpful and made our move incredibly smooth. We scheduled time for original box delivery (30 boxes for a 1 BR was about correct, although we had a small amount to stow in addition) and they promptly dropped off boxes for us. The day of our move, the team was SUPER efficient with our boxes and getting us fully transitioned. There were no furniture or damage issues, and they were true professionals with time and method for handling our personal items. Finally, the Pickup date was easy and the crew was prompt according to our time frame. Honestly, I'm never moving again without Green Boxes. This was a great solution and saved a lot of heartache that other methods certainly do not. read more

I am so glad I decided to rent green boxes! Ordering them was a breeze and getting them delivered was even easier. My favorite part about these - besides saving money and using cardboard boxes that would just end up in the trash - was that they were super sturdy! One of my boxes that was filled with breakables was accidentally dropped by a mover, and I thought my dishes were toast. Thankfully, not the case! You can fit more into these boxes that you think you can, but definitely order more than they recommend; the 30 boxes were just a bit shy for my needs. If/when I move again, there is no doubt in my mind that I will be using the Greenboxes again, and will recommend them to anyone moving! read more

Overall I was happy with renting crates from Chicago Greenbox. I ordered 45 crates and 2 dollys using their website and setting delivery and pick up times. Unfortunately these are just requested times; someone calls you back and sets up actual times for you based on what is available. It seems like this could be automatic via their website, even if orders are coming from multiple places. I said as much to the woman I spoke to on the phone when I didn't get the days and times I had originally requested. They followed up via phone call to remind me of both my delivery and pick up. The person who came to drop off and pick up was courteous, professional, and quick. The crates themselves were as I expected - solid, relatively lightweight, and clean. The suggested number of crates for my 2 BR was spot on (45!). Not having to worry about acquiring cardboard boxes or dispose of them after, not to mention the green benefits, make using crates for any future moves a must. I would definitely recommend Chicago Greenbox for all your moving crate needs. read more

BEST move ever! The green boxes not only made my move easy and organized, but post move - I was guilt-free as I didn't put lots of cardboard boxes into the trash. I will never return to cardboard boxes for moving - they are too expensive and take up too much space in the house, garage and ultimately, the landfill. The green boxes were delivered a week before my move and picked up two weeks after my move. I couldn't be happier about my move! read more

Coming from someone who has moved TEN TIMES ... this was a solid decision. I highly recommend renting the green reusable boxes. They made packing / stacking / unpacking easier than any other move I've done. They were dropped off and picked up on time (within the window stated). Very easy to use and helped protect my belongings. Not a single item damaged. read more

This was the best decision we ever made when we moved recently. The delivery and pick up is quick, prompt and convenient. The boxes were durable so they kept all of our fragile items safe - nothing broke. The moving company easily and quickly moved our boxes to and from our old apartment to our new apartment because all of the boxes neatly stacked up on moving platforms. No tape. No breaking down boxes. No dragging heavy cardboard to the dumpster. No hassle. You will not be disappointed if you use Green Boxes! It made our move so much easier! read more

Wonderful service! The do what they say they will when they say they will, in other words they show up on time which in my most recent moving experience is not something to be taken for granted in the industry. The boxes are wonderful and have the added bonus of making you feel good that you aren't contributing to landfills. Additionally, on the back end of the move, you don't have to spend time breaking down boxes and lugging them to the recycling. I highly recommend going this route. read more

Chicago Green Box was perfect for my local move. Not having to go pick up a bunch of cardboard boxes from the hardware store just to break them down and find some way to recycle them after was a huge time saver - not to mention good for the environment. Boxes were a good size and the 1BR allotment was perfect for my needs. The movers loved them and it made my move speedier, which in turn saved me money. Customer service for Green Box was also top notch. I had to call to re-schedule pick up and drop off a couple of times and they were understanding / flexible and all plans went without a hitch. Would recommend to anyone making a local move! read more

These guys went above and beyond during our move. They were the one of the cheaper quotes but I would have paid more if I had known how good of a job they were going to do. For instance, they changed the roof of our elevator after I moved into my unit and the guys carried my couch down 17 flights of stairs for no additional charge. Of course I paid them more for this on my own. They ended up doing a few more things that ended up saving me a ton of money in the end. read more

I had a great experience with the Chicago Green Box - pick-up/drop off was extremely timely and it was so convenient to not have to break down tons of boxes after my move. I recommend to anyone with an upcoming move who wants to be efficient and kind to our environment. One tip - you'll need to buy closures for these boxes (pack of zip ties will suffice) as well as labels (you can use tape too) read more

The boxes were a great size!! Love the idea of not having to buy and throw or find a place to store the boxes when done. Highly recommend this to everyone!!! They are great with time for drop off and pick up, I always had to tell them closer to 6 pm because of my work schedule which they accommodate me both times!!! read more

I'd give 6 stars if I could! Second move with green boxes, and I would never move again without them. Great for environment. Ease of moving. Courteous, on time pick up and delivery. (Remember to tip them; whatever they get paid, it isn't that much). All you need for moving is Green Boxes and tons of bubble wrap. Remember to cushion with towels, and have lots of Scotch brand tape to use on bubble wrap. I used 20 for first move from 1/1 to 2/2. I used 30 for second move from 2/2 to 1/1. Next time I'd get 40 and I wouldn't need any paper boxes. THE BEST! "Dr House" (Licensed RE Broker & dedicated urban ED doctor) And I'd vote for The Professionals too. Used them first time; wish I used them second time read more

We just used these for our move from Chicago to Evanston and it was awesome. I highly recommend getting the roll-tray for the bottom of the stack. I'm a smaller lady and I was able to pack all 45 boxes for our 2 bedroom apartment without hurting my back. The guy showed up to drop them off right on time and came to pick them up early on the day he was supposed to take them back. I literally have no complaints. Tip: Use frog tape or painters tape to mark your boxes so you know which room they go to. Highly recommended!! So nice not to have to worry about tape and cardboard boxes. I think it was even easier for the movers to get all the boxes from the truck to the apartment. read more

Love the Chicago Green Box!!! So easy and fast to pack in and about the same cost as cardboard boxes. But so much easier - no taping, no building boxes. Just take one from the stack, fill it up and close the top. No joke, it saved me SO MUCH TIME! Their drop off and pick up people were on time, helpful and friendly. When I needed to extend for a week, they accommodated, no issues. They even picked up half the empties in one trip and the other half a week later. Use them - you will be so happy that you did!!! read more

Great service, much better than using cardboard. I wound up needing to keep my boxes an extra week, and the charge for that was very reasonable, and the service people very responsive about it. The boxes are all the same size, and large, so maybe in the future they can offer a mix of sizes and maybe some specialty boxes for fragile or odd shaped items. I know this could make it more difficult for people to know what to get, but if they even just offered 2 sizes of boxes that might be good. read more
