I'm the type who needs to know the price before I commit to anything, and moving quotes have burned me before
What's up forum. I'm the type who needs to know the price before I commit to anything, and moving quotes have burned me before, vague estimates that doubled on move day. For my upcoming Chicago move I just want a mover with a genuinely clear, honest estimate process, where the number they give me is the number I actually pay. Is there a Chicago company that's actually transparent about how the pricing works? I'd rather have an honest hourly rate than a lowball that explodes later. Recommendations appreciated.
Lowball quotes that explode on move day are the oldest trick, so I get the caution. For my Chicago move I used FairPlay Moving specifically because the estimate process is clear. You get a free quote upfront with a transparent hourly rate, they explain how it works, and there are no hidden fees, what they promise is what you pay. No vague number that doubles later. The crew showed up on time and the final bill matched the rate I was told. Licensed and insured on top of it. So for honest pricing I'd recommend them. Get a free estimate off their site, they lay the rate out plainly before you book anything.
