This company is Great! I was struggling with my move on a Sunday afternoon and almost didn't make my 4hr move out/in window. I Google moving helpers and called Recession Movers. The owner answered the phone... I'll say it again...the owner answered the phone on a Sunday! Ah-mazing! Even though it was short notice he took the JOB! He was at my apt in a blink of an eye, loaded the boxes and off loaded the boxes at the new apt within my 4hr move out/in time and was very polite. When I asked the price it was so low I almost cried and INSISTED I pay more. I'll say it again "I insisted!" Great guy! Best price in TOWN! Gets the JOB DONE!Thanks again Recession Movers!!! I'm recommending you to everyone I know!

So, this company was really great to get me scheduled within a few weeks of my move. I am appreciative. However, they were over an hour late, and then I wound up having to help to get it all done in the time frame allowed. Lovell has great customer service and I could tell he was trying to make this happen as he'd planned. So, it may have been outside circumstances that created the issues. I reserved 2 guys and a truck, but 10 minutes after their time to show up, I had to call for status and was informed that Lovell was trying to find a 2nd guy last minute. Then 30 minutes later I had to call again for status. They wound up being an hour and 15 minutes late on an evening move. When they did finally show up, they worked hard. However, when you are already stressed with having to move, the issues that arose really did not help.

The only reason I gave the 2 stars is because my initial deposit was refunded rapidly. So my move was scheduled for 1:00 p.m., at 1:15 they had not arrived nor had I received a call. I tried to contact the owner but did not reach him. Then at 1:30, I tried again and did reach him this time to be told the movers were on their way. The movers arrived in a car around 1:45, because I was told to rent the truck. When the movers contacted me 2 minutes prior to their arrival, he asked what I was moving, ( 1 bedroom apartment) he said, "Are you serious?" Then once we greeted he said he thought he was just unloading, and didn't know the plan was to move furniture to a different location. He told me he had something else to do, and we would have to stop and pick up another guy on the way. Long story short, these movers left my belongings in the hall of my building and I had to solicit the help of my friend and building engineer to place my items back into my apartment. All of my items were in your totes or the original boxes with the exception of my actual furniture. I was told and I quote, "We move Europeans and Chinese people all the time and they always have they stuff together." Apparently I was suppose to wrap my furniture in plastic and disassemble my treadmill. Why hire movers then???? Needless to say this was the worst moving experience I have ever had.

I've used them a couple times. They're cheap, but you get what you pay for. They dinged up a lot of our furniture and scraped up the walls to our building badly enough that we had to pay out of our security deposit. They also showed up an hour late and smoked pot while driving from one apartment to the other. However, for $250 for 3 hrs, they got stuff moved.

We moved ourselves from Texas to Chicago in March '14. When we got everything situated with our apartment, ie. paperwork, keys, move-in date, etc., I contacted Lovell that evening to see if his guys would be able to assist us in unloading our Uhaul into the apartment the following morning. He told me it was not a problem. We scheduled 4 guys for 2 hours. 3 guys showed up on time, but one guy was running late. Lovell immediately sent 2 guys in his steed, which was kind and thoughtful. My husband and I are not the "sit back and watch" type, so we assisted in moving stuff into our apartment. We had it knocked out in less than 2 hours.  I know we will use them again in the future!
