Edgar's customer service was stellar. We relocated from Chicago to Boston and scheduling was very tight and Edgar was very helpful with that. Overall service was good and the team was very professional, Highly recommended.

Big Shoulders did a good job for us, on time and detail oriented, they handled some antique dishes very nicely. Reassembly on delivery took a bit longer than I thought but still thumbs up for their overall service. Would use them again.

This is my first moving experience, so I would rank them... not completely satisfied, but at the same time I can't blame Big Shoulders Moving & Storage for this because it's the third party driver.

The employees were friendly, work driven and moved my entire house in less time than it took to pack it! The employees were professional and treated my things as their own!

Big Shoulders helped me move my photography studio from Chicago to Los Angeles, and I was blown away by the quality of their service. The team was incredibly professional and efficient. They knew exactly what they were doing and made sure that everything was packed up securely and transported safely to my new location. They took the time to answer all of my questions and kept me updated on the progress of the move. They even helped me rearrange some of the furniture in my new studio, which was a huge help. Thanks Big Shoulders!

I recently used Big Shoulders Moving for my move from Chicago to Los Angeles, and I was blown away by their service! The whole team was amazing and made everything so easy for me. The pickup and delivery were both super smooth, and my stuff arrived in perfect condition - no damages, no complaints. The team did a great job wrapping and packing everything up, and I was really impressed with how careful they were with my belongings. I have to give a shoutout to Jose and Carlos they were both really friendly and professional. I would definitely recommend Big Shoulders Moving to anyone looking for a reliable and efficient moving company.

I moved with Big Shoulders from Naperville to Denver. I was a bit hesitant at first because I had a bad experience with a previous moving company, but Big Shoulders completely exceeded my expectations! The team was really friendly and professional, and they took great care with my belongings. They wrapped everything up really well and made sure that nothing got damaged in transit. I was really impressed with how efficiently they worked, and they finished the job in no time. Edgar was great, really knowledgeable and made sure that everything was taken care of every step of the way and the rest of the team was great too.

I just moved to Dallas and I have to say, the experience was fantastic with Big Shoulders Moving. Oscar knew what he was doing and was a pleasure to work with. The price was reasonable, which was a huge plus for me. I loved how my belongings were wrapped neatly and organized so well. The team took great care of my things and made sure everything was secured. Overall I would definitely recommend Big Shoulders Moving to anyone who wants and needs help moving. They provided great service throughout the entire process and made the move much less stressful. Thank you Oscar and the team at Big Shoulders Moving!

Joseph from the sales team was amazing, he accompanied us throughout the process of moving the apartment which gave us peace of mind and in my opinion that is the most important thing when moving, the moving team that performed the work were nice and professional as promised, I am really happy that I chose you and will recommend you to all my friends and family. Thank you for excellent service.

About two weeks ago we used Big Shoulders movers to move our house from the Chicago area to Florida, what can I tell you, I was pleasantly surprised, I was very skeptical because this is not the first time I move and use movers, these people are simply angels, they worked efficiently, quickly and professionally, they didn't even Took a break! I have never come across such a transport service in my life, so thank you for restoring my trust, I am really satisfied and will recommend you as I promised. Thanks friends.

They showed up early, managed to box up the remaining items, and load everything into their truck. They were extremely courteous, friendly, hard-working, and efficient. I will absolutely be using them again!

If you are looking for a reliable moving company then you should stop looking :) Big Shoulder Movers are simply excellent, I have never come across such good movers in my life, we moved from a four room house and we had a lot of belongings, they worked hard and did not complain for a moment, Jose and the moving team were excellent and treated us as if we were family members, I never thought I would receive such level of service This one, I recommend to anyone who is moving to contact them and you won't regret it!

We used Big Shoulders movers to move our apartment from Chicago to New York, the staff was professional and smiling, they took care of our belongings as if they were their own and at the end of the day we left very satisfied, I really recommend them if you are moving to another country and you are looking for reliable and professional movers!

The worst company/service I have ever dealt with. DO NOT USE. During my move, I specifically paid extra to have my large TV professionally packed. During the move, my TV, smoker, and dart board were severely damaged/destroyed ($3000 worth of items). I tipped the movers close to $1,000. When I called about my damaged items, I was routed to an outsourced claim processing company. 3 months later, I received notification I would receive $50 back. Would absolutely not recommend.
