I have used Collins Family Movers four times in the last five years and they have only gotten better and better while staying the best price you can find. Friendly prompt service to set up your move and get your estimate, intuitive tools for measuring how much you need to move, professional and speedy crews on the day making everything run smoothly. Have never had an issue with serious damage or errors. I recommend them to everyone I know who is planning a move because they are the best, and you cannot find a better price.

Tyler and Will moved some large furniture pieces as well as a lot of other little items, many of which could have been easily dented or warped. They did a great job of keeping everything safe while packing, loading, and unloading. They moved everything in a timely manner and were efficient. I would highly recommend Collins Family Movers!

We highly recommend Collins Family Movers. We had a big move from the city to the suburbs. They were so kind and respectful of our belongings and to us. Although we don’t plan to move again soon, we wouldn’t hesitate to use them again. You won’t be disappointed with these movers! Thank you!!

AMAZING! We had a fantastic move with Jordan and Tyler! They are the BEST! We were given a two hour window for the start of the move and they called to let us know their approximate arrival time. They wrapped everything up with such care and made sure that the furniture corners were protected. They are extremely hard workers and did an excellent job carefully moving furniture up a very narrow and vertically challenged staircase. They are true professionals! We will definitely hire them again for our next move!

I called several places for estimates, and Collins Family was the fastest to respond, at the lowest cost, and with the best availability. We just finished the move and it was well under the estimate. The guys were so speedy, careful with my belongings, and handled 3 flights of stairs (both ways) like champions. I couldn’t be happier with the service!

October 2021.Day 1: packing by Collins moversDay 2: moving by Collins moversDay 4: credit card fraud alert, realize items stolen. Cancel credit card.Day 6: another credit card realized with fraudulent charges. Police report made.Heed caution.No one else had access to our possessions. You can put two & two together for yourself.Yes, I should have packed the separately. Yes, I should not have trusted these guys.If the owner figures out who it is as promised, I’ll be sure to update with a better more comprehensive review of the actual move.This may be your only warning.

Darren and his team did a great job with our move. They arrived on time and worked quickly and efficiently (but carefully!) with all of our furniture and items. They took time to wrap furniture so that it wouldn’t be damaged in transit and we’re happy that everything survived completely unscathed.The three team crew completed a 2-bedroom apartment move (~2 miles) in under 4 hours.Communication during booking (~2 weeks prior) was also quick and easy.All around highly recommended!

A really enjoyable experience considering how hectic moving can be. Everyone communicated really well and kept me up-to-date on the arrival time. The movers were pleasant and very efficient. The pricing was really affordable especially given the quality of work that they do. I’m extremely pleased overall with the work that Collins did today. Highly recommend.

I was given this firm as a reference from a friend of mine. I am so glad I used them. The guys working at Collins Family Movers are top class. We moved across town in Chicago and had the company pack and move us all in the same day. Joe and his team were fast and efficient and were able to get everything packed and moved with no problems. I was impressed with their ability to get everything out of our place without a scratch to a wall. Joe and the team listened intently to what my wife and I wanted done and where we wanted things unloaded at our new place. I highly recommend Collins Family Movers as they had plenty of availability and their prices are as reasonable as any other company in the city. I will definitely be using them again on our next move and recommended them to our friends and family.

They were on time, very careful with our stuff, worked their butts off to get the job done, and were very pleasant and professional. The cost was also great and better than quotes I got from other companies. Would definitely work with them again for future moves.

Absolute Professionals !My daughter needed a small move from north side storage to the UC area. I called Collins 2 days prior from my home in Florida after learning my daughter planned to rent a truck and move up 3 floors. The great reviews led me to calling John, he was patient, understanding and seamlessly expedited the process. My daughter could not be more relieved as is her father, especially when the owner made a visit to assure all was perfect.Thank you very much Richard Collins and crew!

DO NOT USE THEM! AVOID!!!!!Dropped furniture while moving. Scratched floors from dragging furniture. Damaged furniture during reassembly. In the process of evaluating & claiming damages. Will update on the results.EDIT: My wife made the reservation. Move was on 7/27UPDATE: Compd $300 in damages. As we further unpack, weve found more damages. A side table that belonged to my wifes grandmother. Leg broke and pieces are missing that we can even repair it. See attached pictures.

Scheduled a 2-phase move directly with the owner, Richard. Phase 1 was local to the Chicago area with 80% going to storage and 20% going to our temporary accommodations until our home in Florida is ready in a few months. Richard was a pleasure to speak with and reassured my concerns. They also have a online platform for inventory which was helpful to get organized in terms of what I wanted to keep on hand, in storage, and what to toss.On the day of, they arrived on the early side of the time window quoted. The crew lead was Joe and fantastic to with. The rest of the guys - David, Mike, Mike #2, and Xavier were also wonderful. They worked in teams to load items very efficiently so that each location mostly had its sections within each of the trucks. The guys were all super polite, strong, quick, and motivated. Exactly what you hope for.Looking forward to using them again for the long distance portion of the move, especially considering the owner of the company is the lead who actually accompanies all long distance moves. That right there, thats what sets this company apart. I couldnt recommend them enough!

Absolutely terrific. The crew was super professional and took great care with every item while also working quickly. Very impressive since they were moving us into a 3rd floor apartment with narrow stairs. Very fair prices too, so we will definitely be using Collins again in the future.

Had a great move with Collins Family Movers. Their sales team was very upfront with pricing and gave a very competitive quote! The communication and planning leading up to the move was fantastic. Then, the day of the move they sent a text when the truck was on its way with an eta and called when they arrived. Troy and Rueben were so quick and had my entire move done in under 4 hours. They were both super friendly and made my move as easy as possible. Will definitely be using Collins Family Movers again!

I have been using Collins Family Movers since 2012 and probably for 6 - 7 total moves. My family have used them as well. They are my go to movers and the only movers I trust with my stuff. They are honest, efficient, SUPER FAST, and take care in the work they do. They wrap up everything that is needed so nothing gets damaged and they take pride in this. It is truly amazing how they pack their truck like a puzzle to fit everything in. I have recommended them a dozen times and everyone has been just as satisfied.The president, Richard will right any wrong or misunderstanding.TIP: they will send you a request for an inventory list 24 hrs after you book your move. Take this serious. You know what furniture is in your home. Over guess on boxes. That way you do not end up with an estimate that is way off the actual cost or you do not have the right amount of movers for the job.

10/10 service!! Ruben and Troy (my two movers) were communicative, efficient, accommodating, and pleasant throughout the process. Even though I was their last move of the day and it was already 7pm -- they were stellar: diligent and careful with wrapping TV, mattress, fragile items, etc. And prior to the move, the company was responsive and clear and answered all my questions. Would recommend Collins Movers without a doubt!

The crew showed up on time, were courteous, moved quickly and efficiently, and moved all our belongings with care. We had quite a bit of stuff, some of it quite heavy, and they were able to expertly load and unload the truck within the estimated timeframe.

Awesome. Our two movers were friendly, efficient and clearly focused on getting the job done quickly and professionally. Also kudos to the Collins Family Movers for coming through for us on short notice. We are endlessly grateful for the way they helped us out of a bind. Oh, and I must mention that the estimate was on target and very fair compared to the few other estimates that we had gotten. It felt like they actually wanted our business!

Excellent moving experience from start to finish! Richard helped fit me into a very busy moving weekend, followed up, and made sure his crew contacted me prior to arriving. Both Graham and Troy were a tremendous help and very communicative. I would recommend Collins Family Movers to anyone looking for a 5 star experience! Thanks again!

I used Collins for an in-town move, into a storage unit. They were extremely easy to deal with and schedule. Day of, the movers called me 45 minutes in advance of the start time to let me know they were on the way, and showed up exactly on time. I was originally quoted 2 hours, and the guys only went over by 15 minutes, and that was simply due to dealing with multiple elevators. Probably would have been done early if not for that! Overall I’m very happy with their service and professionalism and will use them for all future moves.

Richard Collins, the owner, was responsive, reliable and honest, and his team was hardworking, patient and flexible. The move we threw their way was no easy task; to be honest, it was a bit of a nightmare (not our move, but one I coordinated for a family member). Despite the challenges, Collins handled it with grace and the utmost professionalism -- from Chicago to Springfield. Without hesitation, I would hire Collins Family Movers again and again. Thank you for everything.

Very good service, well run business, professional, residential and easy to operate. We have now hired Family Movers several times to fill a new home with a variety of pieces from both private sellers and third parties who helped me as much as they could and helped me with their work. They have honor. I also got a great experience because of their value, I just loved them.

Richard Collins seriously SAVED me. another moving company had canceled on me and Richard made it so he squeezed me in during a very busy moving day! They were prompt, professional, and just overall FANTASTIC guys who helped me move. Oh! Add that it was up FOUR flights of stairs. They were worth every penny and I couldn’t be more thankful for them.

I picked this company to move my things into my new place because it was in the neighborhood, and I really lucked out.From the very first call, they were responsive, friendly, and listened to my concerns. They were always easy to reach or returned calls quickly.The two heroes who moved me, Marcos and Graham, kept me updated, were right on time, and got right to work. They were proactive and efficient. For example, they saw that my PC might be in one of the boxes, and after confirming with me, were careful to bring it up separately. I was impressed how fast they worked considering Im on a third floor walk-up. They even did a great job following up to make sure I was satisfied and answered questions I had throughout.Moving is stressful and a hassle, but they made it a great deal easier for me.

Collins Family Movers made my cross-country move seamless and worry free. Rich and his team are lightening fast and whizzes when it comes to packing and logistics. We had used their services several years ago for a local move in Chicago and were very satisfied so we decided to give them a go again for a longer one. Throughout the process Rich and Co were exceptionally helpful and transparent with the entire moving process. They went above and beyond as they moved us from Chicago to California helping to assemble some items as well. I couldnt recommend them enough to anyone looking for great, quality movers!

The communication from before I even signed the contract, during the move, and after was amazing. It was everything I had hoped for and then some.

This was our second time using Collins Family Movers. They moved us into our previous apartment at the beginning of the pandemic. They were so efficient and respectful of being our home during COVID, when we moved again this year we knew we were going to call them back. They moved us into our 3rd floor walkup on the hottest day of the year like it was nothing. Everyone we have worked with has been great, but Hunter was at both of our moves and we would trust him with all of our things, he is so fast yet very considerate of all of our belongings. Communication was easy and clear, price is very reasonable. Thank you!

My move with Collins Family went like a breeze. Everything was packaged securely and made it to my new home in perfect condition. Not a single item had a scratch.It was great that Collins was transparent and upfront with any fees so I knew approximately what my total cost was going to be. There were no surprise charges at the end like some moving companies have. Additionally, the movers were fast and efficient making the move extremely affordable.

I chose Collins Family Movers based on a suggestion from a good friend and I am so glad that she recommended them! Joseph was wonderful booking me a time that worked with my schedule and when I needed to be out of my old apartment. He provided me with an easy to read and understand quote that had all fees included. It ended up being spot on with what I paid.On the day of the move my crew was actually ten minutes early which I loved as I was ready to get going! David, Mike and Ryan were very professional and efficient. Upon arrival they did a walkthrough of the space and asked me what items were staying or being loaded up on the truck. They ensured that all my furniture were wrapped up with blankets to keep them safe during the move. I lived on the third floor with no elevator in my first apartment and they were able to load up and take everything out in just over an hour. My whole move took just under three hours which was what I was quoted and had no issues!Overall Joseph, Mike, David, and Ryan were amazing and I highly recommend them for any move!

Everyone knows moving is miserable; there is no way around it. Thankfully, Collins made our move from downtown to the suburbs extremely easy and very smooth. Our movers (Leroy, David and Joe) were fantastic; they arrived on time, introduced themselves, took inventory of our items, and then immediately began packing, wrapping and moving. They were extremely friendly, they worked with purpose and were very cautious of our items and the new house.Please let this serve as a personal recommendation from a young couple who are very protective of their “things” and were worried about such a stressful day. Collins knows what they are doing, and you would be wise to use them for your next move.

I highly recommend Collins Family Movers if you have an upcoming move. They showed up on time for both pickup and delivery, calling and confirming arrival times on both days. The movers were courteous and fast and demonstrated great teamwork. In addition, they stored our furniture overnight which was a tremendous help. The quote came in within a few dollars of what I expected. During the entire process the communication from Richard Collins, the owner, was outstanding. If you need movers, this company is great.

Review №65

Would not wear masks even after asking several times. Over a thousand dollars in damages to the apartment and building. Took 9 hours to move a 1 bedroom 10 minute drive (no packing/organizing, just moving with freight elevator). Movers didnt know what they were doing and took their sweet time. Had to coach them how to move furniture, stay on top of them to keep working, and provide positive reinforcement with each load. It was bad, a rip off, and worse experience Ive had moving. I would not recommend - not professional movers

Can’t remember all they’re names except Darren I think that was his name. They were Fast, polite and very thoroughly informative. They handled my Furniture with care... All around a Great Move. These Guy’s worked HARD!!!!! I’m very Grateful and appreciative for they’re excellent service. Wish I could’ve gave more than $300.00 for a Tip... but that’s All I could afford ☹️.

Collins Family Movers provided my family with a 100% STRESS FREE long distance move from Chicago to Denver (October 2020). In all my life of moving, these guys are hands down the best. All of my furniture was carefully wrapped (not just moving pads but additional boxes / end guards on every end of furniture).I was loaded up on a Monday morning and unloaded in Denver (100% issue free, no broken items!)on Wednesday, literally just 2 days later.That’s ridiculously impressive.

The guys were great. I moved between 2 high rise buildings in Gold Coast/River North area. They showed up exactly when they said they would, wore masks the whole time, were friendly, and accommodated me not being a particularly organized person by collecting and boxing loose items that I had not packed yet. The price was a little bit more than I was quoted elsewhere, but it was very worth it. Ive had bad movers before and you dont want that. Collins family was definitely worth a few extra dollars for the exceptional level of service. Ill use them again in the future and recommend to others.

I amazingly have found the best movers on the planet. Collins Family Movers KNOW how to do a move, they hustle like nobody Ive ever seen, and they have perfected moving. Ive dealt with the big companies where they make you sign 15 forms prior to a move and take their time wrapping items and take forever. Collins movers are amazing. Ive never seen anyone move the way they do. I am picky about my furniture and so are they! You will love them. Accommodating, careful, quick and able! DO NOT hesitate to call them. They truly are the best in the Chicago area AND they do long distance moving also. Thank you Collins! You are my new favorite movers. Chris

I had to move across country and was finding it be a hassle locating a moving company to trust with my belongings that was also affordable. I found Collins Family Movers on Yelp and could not be anymore satisfied with my move. I spoke with the owner who assisted in preparing my move even during COVID-19 and assured me I had made the right choice in moving companies. The week prior to the move he personally called to verify day / time was correct and his movers arrived and packed the truck in record time. Then the owner himself along with one other crew member drove my belongings from Chicago to Tampa where everything arrived in the same condition as I had seen it in Chicago. The entire experience was effortless, one of the best and easiest moves of my entire adult life. I HIGHLY recommend Collins Family Movers to anyone in the Chicagoland area for local moves or if doing a long distance DEFINITELY call them.

Total professionals! Highly recommend! We hired Collins Family Movers to move some furniture from the suburbs to our high rise condo in Chicago today. Great communication in booking with Joe and with our movers, Cody and Leroy. They both did a great job! The guys arrived on time and got right to work, both courteous and professional. We could see that our furniture was in good hands. Our high-rise building has several specific rules that must be followed and strict Covid precautions in place at all times. We were extremely impressed with the professionalism of both Leroy and Cody especially during this challenging time. We would definitely use Collins Family Movers again and highly recommend them. Happy Thanksgiving!

I found them during my search because they have the same last name as me and I thought, “I have to check them out.” It turns out, they are fantastic. Joe, David, And Leroy were awesome. They were fast and efficient and good natured. This was the first time I have ever hired movers and I couldn’t have hoped for a better experience. On top of all of that, the pricing is vastly better than any of the other companies that I researched. They gave me an estimate and it ended up being even cheaper than the estimate. Don’t hesitate to give these guys a chance. Thank you, Collins Family Movers.

Collins Family Movers we great on all fronts!!When we left Chicago we werent quite sure where we were heading and CFM helped us move to a storage unit. Then when we found a permanent home in Boston, they moved all our stuff from the storage unit in Chicago to Boston without us needing to head back to Chicago. They made an extremely stressful time in our life much simpler and I felt confident the entire time because I was actually dealing with the owner of the company. They picked up the phone every time I called and arrive exactly on time at every pick-up and drop-off. I would recommend them for any short or long-distance move.Furthermore, one of the movers accidentally tracked a little mud into the bedroom and they went out and bought rags and rug cleaner to resolve the issue before the move was complete, and the carpet looks great!Thanks again for everything!!

The Colins Family team were very prompt and professional on the day of my move. I received calls from the owner, Richard, and the two movers prior to the move to let me know that they were down a mover that day due to injury, but that my estimate cost would be adjusted. I was surprised by how fast the two movers, Mike and David, were able to safely load up my 850sq. Ft. Apartment on the fifth floor. They made sure to use padding and were gentle with every box. When we arrived at my new place they made sure to place boxes in the proper rooms for easier unpacking later. Mike and David even went as far as to help me fix a bar stool for me that was broken (not during the move). The service I received was above and beyond my expectations. I would definitely use them again and recommend them to anyone.

I found Collins Family Movers on Yelp. After reading their excellent reviews, I sent them a message. Richard responded right away. Also, their prices were very fair and he was upfront about everything from the start. CFM is also very organized with getting your moving inventory in place prior to the actual move. In my case, it helped lower my initial estimate because I only needed 2 movers versus 3 movers because mine was a smaller sized move. Gram and Marco handled my move and did a great job. Everything was wrapped up with blankets and plastic. They were also efficient, fast, friendly, VERY hard-working and professional. The move went very smooth from door to door. Id absolutely recommend CFM to anyone looking for movers.

Manny, Jose, and Reyes were excellent. Very professional. They were were in and out and made our moving day easy. We have a lot of heavy custom furniture, which didn’t even faze them. Our home was built in the 1920s, so there are a lot of tight spaces. They were able to make it all fit while protecting our floors and walls. Would definitely work with them again. Highly recommend

I was so pleased with Collins Family Movers! I chose them based on Yelp reviews and I was definitely not disappointed. I moved from an apartment to a storage unit in Chicago and not only was the price right, but the service was fantastic. Richard, the owner, was always available, quick to respond and very accommodating (even when I switched storage unit locations at the last minute). My two movers, Mike and Robert, were efficient, kind and professional. They also did everything at a very quick pace which makes a difference when youre paying by the hour! Richard and Collins Family Movers made the moving process very easy for me, which I appreciate. I would absolutely recommend them and will use them again the next time I move.

I had a great experience with Collins Family Moving Co. from start of communications regarding pricing and quote, scheduling, and the moving process. Richard was prompt in all communications and answered all my questions. Their website to count inventory was easy and user friendly. Their pricing I found to be fair and reasonable. I feel like I wasn’t being nickel and dimed for every service like tape, padding, wrapping. It was a straight $50 fee for all tape, padding, and wrap. It was well worth it to protect my 2 bedrooms worth of furniture and electronics.They were able to provide insurance info via email to my building management before the move day.I had an afternoon move scheduled due to my high rise building freight elevator schedule, so I was given a 2-hour start window, but they came right on time at 1pm, and gave me a call about an hour notice prior to arrival.They sent 3 movers and a large truck. They movers were awesome and very pleasant. They had tools and were able to disassemble and reassemble my large dining room table, gym-grade treadmill, large tool chest, king sized bed frame, and so much more. They padded and wrapped everything super well — not one nick or scratch on my furniture and electronics. They also wrapped the mattresses with plastic wrapping to keep them clean during the move, which I really appreciated. I had large items like a professional grade grill and a large massage chair, which were difficult to move into my new home due to dimensions. but they found solutions to it.At the end of the move, they accept Venmo or Quickpay, which doesn’t incur any transaction fees that credit and debit cards would.I highly recommend them and will definitely use them again, if I have to move again. Don’t forget to tip!

Collins Family Movers was amazing! Richard, the owner, was incredibly quick to respond with a quote (on a Saturday afternoon no less!) and was incredibly professional and informative. Very straight forward and painless process to set up a move, on pretty short notice too! On moving day, our movers - Mike & Eugene - were fantastic! They were courteous, efficient, and willing to move everything, even though it was more than what I inventoried ahead of time. Would HIGHLY recommend to anyone moving locally. Happy support family-owned and local business!

I had a difficult close on the purchase of my home, it repeatedly got delayed due to various factors. Throughout it all Richard of Collins Family Movers put up with the numerous delays until we finally made the move. Having gotten three quotes, Collins was very competitive and the price was based upon the size of the truck, not weight as is the practice of other companies. The crew was great, very nice and personable. The crew of three worked well together and quickly and efficiently got me moved into my new home. Thanks to Richard and the moving crew, GREAT JOB!
