The winters in Chicago can be harsh, but summers are great, and if you’re considering moving from New York to Chicago, welcome to our city! Chicago and New York have a lot in common, with iconic attractions like museums, parks, and amazing architecture.
Affordable NYC to Chicago moving services
Born To Move is a New York City-based company that offers high-quality moving services from New York to Chicago. All you have to do when you register for a move and want to receive an offer is go to our company’s website, provide basic information in three simple steps, then leave your phone number and send a request. Our moving representative will contact you and collect information about your property, and then we will send you a fixed-price offer so that you can see and decide which company is the most suitable for you. All clients collect offers from different companies for moving from New York to Chicago, and Born To Move is not an exception.
Most customers prefer to hire professional movers to move their belongings from New York to Chicago, but all of these moves are done using a separate truck with a separate service. We never use third-party companies to complete the move. All our moving operations are done by our own professional movers. Our skilled employees load your belongings onto the truck, drive it to Chicago in a separate vehicle, and unload your stuff at the required destination. This moving process is simple but expensive because we often have an empty return trip to New York. For this reason, customers have to pay for it.
How much does it cost to move from New York to Chicago?
The cost of the move from New York to Chicago varies:
- Studio apartments: $3,500.
- One-bedroom apartments: $4,500
- Two-bedroom apartments: $5,000
- Three-bedroom apartments or houses: between $5,000 and $7,000, depending on how many items you need to move.
- Four-bedroom apartments or houses: $7,000 or more.
We will send our moving representative to assess your move and give you a quote.
Whatโs included in the flat rate?
You can see that pretty many categories are included in the flat rate, such as packing materials, fuel, the truck, human labor, etc. Consider that boxes will be provided for you at no additional cost! This data can be found on the contract we will send to you, and you will need to review it before signing. Also, Born To Move has never required a deposit. So if you want to schedule our moving services, you don’t need to pay anything upfront. All you have to pay is half the price when our New York to Chicago moving company picks up your items, and the other half after we unload, and you inspect the furniture for any damage. So, in total, it will include everything, and it will be a flat price for moving from New York to Chicago, as you will get it within one business day after you give us an inventory.
How soon will Born to Move deliver my stuff to Chicago?
On average, our drivers get to Chicago within one day, so if our movers pick up your things from New York and deliver them to Chicago, it will take one day. Let’s say we pick up all of your things on Monday, and the delivery will be on Wednesday morning. We’ll be driven according to your wishes and needs. We understand that reserving an elevator takes some time, and you need to be specific about scheduling the elevator because concierges usually give a 4-hour window in each building. So, we have to follow the directions given by the concierge, and some buildings are strict about this, so our New York-to-Chicago movers will follow this rule. You won’t get into trouble if we’re late or if the elevator time is extended. So please schedule both elevators ahead of time!
How can you schedule the elevator for my moving?
Everything is simple if you move with the Born To Move professionals. Most of the buildings in Chicago require a certificate of insurance, also known as COI. Born To Move provides a certificate of insurance for every building that requires it. Most buildings will not schedule an elevator without a certificate of proper insurance requirements, such as workers’ compensation and Umbrella. The Born To Move experts have both of them, so if you need an elevator scheduled, you can count on them, and they will provide a certificate of insurance for every building in Chicago that requires one. We don’t want you to get into trouble with a moving company that is not licensed or insured.
Insurance for your stuff
Born To Move provides insurance for cargo, which will protect your possessions by up to $10,000. We also offer additional coverage for expensive items and furniture. If you have valuable things, this is a great option. You can talk to our insurance representative about making a claim. You can also contact them if our movers break something during the move. Our employees are usually careful, responsible, and attentive to details, based on customer reviews.
Moving reviews
Born to Move has more than 1,000 great reviews from our clients from all over the country, so you know that we provide a good service. We help people move interstate to Chicago, and most of the time, we have a great moving experience, which shapes our company’s reputation in the market. You can check our numerous reviews online on different platforms. Make sure that we are a legitimate moving company that doesn’t let customers down! That’s why it’s important to check reviews on Yelp, Google, and Trust Pilot, not just on one platform. Do you prefer to research properly before choosing a moving company to move from New York to Chicago?
Moving process
When you decide to schedule our moving process, it’s very easy to do so. Once your move is put on the schedule, no deposit is required, but you have to pre-pack the boxes before our movers arrive at your place. After their arrival, they will ask you to let them in. Remember that our movers will call you on the moving day! Make sure to answer when they’re there at your house and show them what stuff is going and what’s staying! Tell them what stuff you want to throw away! Our skilled movers will take care of disassembling your bed and wrapping it in blankets. They’ll bring it to the truck and do the same for other furniture pieces, like TV stands and tables. They will also be reassembled at the new location in Chicago. Once our movers are done loading, make sure you check all the closets to see that we’ve taken everything. After that, just tell our movers to leave and don’t forget to pay them 50% of your initial payment!
You will see that our experienced movers can move your stuff easily in one day. When they arrive at your destination in Chicago, they will start unloading. Before unloading, they will need to know where all the big items are going, such as your bed and other furniture pieces. Make sure you tell them to roll up any rugs before placing the furniture on them! Once we assemble the furniture, you will need to bring the boxes with you to your apartment. The movers will check out the truck before they leave, and all you have to do is pay them with a credit card or cash. After we finish unloading in Chicago, you can pay us with a certified check if you wish to use this payment method.ะฐ
