Check Out What Customers Say About Bellhop Movers in Chicago
They were all fantastic, on time, efficient, and careful with my sister's belongings. I wasn't sure what to expect and was beyond satisfied with the work everyone did. I would recommend all of them again and should I need to move (hopefully not) I'll use this service. Carlos, Alex, Delvis, and Martin were great to work with. I highly recommend.

Relax While Your Chicago Movers Get the Job Done.
Your lead Chicago mover will get in touch on the day of your service to let you know your moving team is on the way. Your moving service will officially begin when your movers arrive and scan your unique QR code, which you’ll receive prior to your move. They’ll also scan the QR code to mark the end of your move at your new location, so you don’t pay for a minute more than the time needed to complete the job. Thinking about a long-distance move in Chicago, or a last-minute Chicago move? It's just as easy.
Book worry-free, thanks to our industry-leading cancellation policy
Life is complicated enough, so let’s keep things simple: You can cancel your move in Chicago free of charge up to 72 hours before your reservation date.
If you cancel within 72 hours of your reservation date, you will forfeit your previously collected 10% deposit and be charged a $200 late cancellation fee. We need to do this in order to make sure our movers are covered, and so we can help other customers.
Booking a last-minute move? If your move is booked under three days out, we'll only charge you the deposit and cancellation fee if we've assigned a team to you prior to your cancellation.
Easy enough, right?
