In their own words
Do NOT hire this company! They damaged all of our belongings and misled us to get us to sign the initial contract. They broke our tv, made us pay an additional $500 for packing items they then broke. There response was to “file a claim” which is $60cents per pound so a 65inch TV weighs about 600 pounds and the insurance would then pay less than $100 for a $900 TV. Initially we were told our stuff would arrive 2-10 days from pick up which then turned into 2-10 days from available date.
Overall a bad experience. The crew was friendly enough, but I had several bad issues: -- Showed up 45 minutes late -- Arrived with a truck half loaded with somebody else's stuff, so all my stuff didn't fit and I had to make extra trips on my own -- After telling them not to move my artwork and separating it from everything else, they moved one piece anyway...and broke it -- One of the crew got into an argument with my building manager about propping the door open with landscaping bricks and not leaving it attended…
2. Thank you for bringing this situation to our attention. First I would like to apologies for any inconvenience we may have caused you as well as any miscommunication from our main office that has led to your dissatisfaction with the service.
ZERO STARS!! I’ve waited a couple weeks before leaving a review in hopes that Carlos (manager) would actually call back a very upset customer. However, since it’s been more than enough time I have to be completely honest with the TERRIBLE service I received from multiple people that work for this company! My set of movers were scheduled to arrive between 1-3pm, at 3:15pm I called and spoke with John, the rudest “message taker”(his words, not mine), and was told that he’ll let a manager know but could not promise…
We booked this company to move us a month in advance. We were given a 1 to 3 PM window. 3 PM comes. We call the movers and we're told that they had a job that was taking longer than expected; they would be wrapping up soon. A couple more hours go by. We call back around 5 now. Same story. They state that they would still be able to move us that day. It's 8 PM now. I call them again. The driver says he is on his way and it would be 25 minutes.
As a previous customer, I did not have hesitation to book with In and Out again. Hindsight is 20/20 and I will never use with them again and you shouldn’t either. I had MULTIPLE items damaged, shattered or completely broken. Not one of the movers copped to this damage and I, instead, came upon it all by finding objects and furniture strategically placed to where I wouldn’t notice until unpacking and when they were long gone.
Dear Ann We apologize for you feeling that way. We have done the utmost on our end to help your complaint. It has come to our attention that you are still unhappy with the service. We do appreciate the comments and the warnings you are spreading all over the internet however it would have been much…
We hired In & Out Moving & Storage to move us out of an apartment, store our belongings for 2+ months, and then move us to another city. The "move-out" is done and it went very well. Ellie (in the office) was great to work with. Moving team was very helpful and polite. Jose, the boss, was very knowledgeable and on top of things. Overall it was a good experience, although they were a couple hours late arriving.
Dear Kate, We strive to get best possible service on every move and we are happy to accomplish that with your move. All thanks to you and all of our repeat customers that we are top rated Chicago movers. much appreciated. IN & OUT Moving team.
We went with in and out moving because they were affordable. I told Megan when I first talked to her that I didn’t want to spend over $3,000. She got their quote down to $3200. I told her I couldn’t pay over that amount and told her I had big furniture. She said it wouldn’t be a problem and it wouldn’t cost anything over that amount. My husband and I even did several trips of moving things before the movers even got there.
This was by far the worst move I have ever had. I am a professional interior designer and move my clients in and out all the time and deal with moving companies on a daily basis. The lack of disregard and care they took for my belongings doesn't even make sense, as their sole job is to care for my belongings. The amount of damage they caused not only to my boxes, but every pieces of furniture and my brand new wood floors almost seems impossible to achieve. I have upwards of $3000 worth of goods ruined or damaged.
Dear Alison, We regret to hear about your experience,. we have already sent you a claim acknowledgement form on the 10th of august when you moved and have not received yet any response to the email with information requested..

In their own words
My move experience was pretty much a nightmare before In & Out. I tried another company who didn't know to come on my actual moving day as quoted on the estimate and after I called and screamed bloody murder, they came late and brought the wrong sized vehicle that wouldn't fit in the loading dock (I had sent specs of the max truck height ahead of time) and then they tripled the cost of the estimate on the spot when it was time to move; I fired them and had to reschedule with another company.
Wow, Your expression of your experience is highly appreciated. We are glad to make this as smooth as possibly could. coordinating all is a rather complex process and we are glad that we were able to meet your expectations.
I booked In & Out Moving for my long distance move from Chicago to Denver. From the start they were great! Carlos spent so much time on the phone with me explaining pricing and how the move would work to figure out what options would be best for my needs. I picked up my free boxes and tape at their warehouse and spent another generous bit of time in person with Carlos patiently going through more details. On moving day the movers were on time and worked efficiently.
Thank you Anne for the business We love to hear back from our customers and happy that we have stood up to your expectations. Best of luck with your move and new place. From All IN & OUT Moving team.
This was the second time that I've used them, and I don't know why I bothered to look around before contacting them again. I spoke to Carlos again to set up moving for my girlfriend. Amazingly, Carlos was the same person I spoke to 7 years ago when I moved! Their rates were much cheaper than any other quotes. He mentioned that they are treating it like a local move as she was just moving under a mile into WI from IL. All other companies were charging long distance for a drive of 35 miles!
Hi Bill thank you for using us again. we understand that there are many companies to choose from and glad you picked us again. The team also have expressed their gratitude and sending their best wishes with the new home. All the best to you. from all of us @Inandoutmoving Team..
I recommend in and out moving and will definitely use them again! I moved from a 3 bedroom apartment in downtown Chicago, to our new house in Oakland NJ, they came on time and the crew packed everything carefully. It took almost 4 hours to get everything ready, and the about 2 hours more to get everything in the truck. We had so much stuff it’s not even funny… we had to get rid of some old toys and furniture.
Thank you for the opportunity. We are hoping to be able and service you again. wishing all the best, IN & OUT moving team
