The Moving Process For Long Distance Relocations

  1. Free Estimate and Consultation: Your move starts with a conversation. We discuss the size of your home, the number and type of items to move, any fragile or special possessions, and the dates that work best for you. This helps us outline the next steps and gives you a clear picture of the process.
  2. Moving Plan: After understanding your needs, we create a plan that covers packing, transportation, delivery, and optional storage. We review the plan with you so every step of the move is clear and organized.
  3. Packing and Preparation: We use professional materials to wrap and protect your belongings, paying special attention to fragile items, electronics, and valuable furniture. If you prefer, we can handle all packing for you, or provide guidance for a partial pack.
  4. Loading with Care: On moving day, our trained movers arrive on time and carefully load your belongings. Floors, walls, and furniture are protected throughout, and items are secured to prevent shifting during transit.
  5. Long Distance Transportation: We transport your belongings carefully across Illinois and beyond. Our team stays in touch during the move, so you always know the progress of your shipment and when your items will arrive at your new home.
  6. Delivery and Unpacking: At your new home, we unload and place your items in the rooms you choose. If you like, we can also unpack and help arrange your belongings, allowing you to settle in more quickly.
  7. Follow-Up and Support: After the move, we check in to make sure everything arrived as expected and answer any questions you may have. Our team remains available to help with storage or special items if needed.

    "I had a great experience with Midwest. The movers arrived early, set up my entire home with protective pads and flooring, effectively moved all of my home items, and cleaned up afterward. I have actually used them twice. I had different employees each time, but both crews of men were equally prompt, professional, and efficient. I would highly recommend Midwest."

    "The movers did an incredible job! Our second experience with your company is just as wonderful as our first. Your driver is an incredible leader. The rest of the crew was impressive as well. They all worked tirelessly through out the whole time. This move was stressful with the all the school closings and work changes but they made the whole experience much better."
