Devon Moving Company

Used Devon for my move last weekend and all I can say is «Wow!». Frank and his team were so professional, thorough and efficient. Setting up the move with Erica at the office was a pleasure. Her attention to detail and friendly demeanor made for a great first impression. The day of, Frank arrived with Phil and Kevin and didn’t waste one minute. Frank wrapped and padded all of my furniture, and even fixed my bookcase for me before doing so! I was going to hire someone to do that, so thank you, Frank! He also would not take my money when I tried to tip him. The rest of the move was seamless. Phil and Kevin knew their stuff and made the drop off quick and painless. Their pricing was very reasonable as well. Professional company, experienced and friendly employees. If you are moving, definitley consider Frank and the team at Devon Moving!

I cannot say enough about Phil, Ken, and Gary! They were knowledgeable, personable, careful, but most of all FAST. I can’t even believe how quickly they moved, and didn’t take a break or stop once. I will absolutely recommend this company in the future! Also– they fought for my business. Erika called me twice and emailed me multiple times and made sure I didn’t take no for an answer… And I am so glad I didn’t. Thanks Devon Movers for making moving day a breeze!

As we all know, moving sucks! But these guys made the whole experience great for us.
First of all, it was the best price in the market.
Henry, Hugo and Anthony took such great care of each of our things. We had nothing to worry about, as they felt really confident in what they were doing.
Look no further. These are the guys you want to hire!

This is the first time we used Devon Moving. We used five other moving companies around the country. These guys were the best. They work hard, don’t take breaks, arrive on time and stay late. They even sent a fifth man.
They disassemble and reassemble large pieces, including a treadmill. And it works perfectly in the basement, which is where we wanted it. This is the first time a moving company did this for us.
If you are in Chicagoland, I suggest you contact Devon Moving Company.

Moving day is always a stressful and unpleasant experience, but Devon Moving company made it a much more tolerable day; from Erica, the sweet office attendant to my movers– Joel, Phil, and Kevin (definitely the best part of the experience).
My guys were quick and efficient, and just genuinely a congenial group to be in that situation with. I will surely be recommending them here on out.

Fast, polite, on time! They took good care of my belongings and I would highly recommend them to anyone.

Highly recommended! Frank & his team were absolutely fantastic. I moved from Chicago, IL to Dallas, TX over Memorial Day Weekend. Being long distance (14.5 hrs) move, I was very nervous. Frank gave me a very reasonable estimate for full apartment pack up from a Chicago high-​rise building all the way to Dallas, TX. Everything was packed securely.
As promised, everything arrived safe. Not a single damage or anything missing. I flew to Dallas on Friday and my stuff arrived next day Saturday 9 am.
Great guys. Great team. They even helped me hang a huge wall-​size painting in Dallas :)
Frank would be my first call anytime I move next :)
Thank you Frank & team. They made my move so easy!

Frank and his partner from Devon Movers were great! Very friendly, quick and efficient. The movers were very respectful of my items and were in and out within 2.5 hours. They moved me from a 3 story walk up to a storage unit and the price was the better than I was expecting! $ 75/​HR for a one bedroom. min 2 hours.
Really had a successful move and will definitely use Devon Moving Company in the future. Highly recommend!

I really like Devon Moving Co, they moved us two different times and both were great. They are really fast but gentile (nothing broke).
This time we had Henry, Phil and Ken and we are very happy with their hard work!

My first experience using professional movers was an absolute success thanks to Devon Movers! I was going through hell with the entire moving process, so finding affordable movers was just one of the many things I had on my plate. I was getting quotes for $ 800+ just to move from a 1 bedroom apartment. Thankfully my friend recommended Devon to me and said she had never paid more than 300. She also said they were super fast and that she had already used them 3 times and never had a problem which was very reassuring.
I’m glad to say that I have the same glowing review! I’ve heard horror stories about movers breaking things or people’s belonging coming up missing, but everything went off without a hitch in only 3 hours. Frank, the owner, even stopped by for the second half of the move to sort of supervise everything and introduce himself. All four men were extremely friendly and professional, and they were very careful with my stuff! I paid a fraction of what I would have paid if I had used another company, and Frank threw in my materials at no cost which kept the move under $ 400 even with 3 flights of stairs at the new place.

So polite and hardworking and considerate. Well worth the reasonable rate. Thank you so much!

Ok, my experience was wonderful ! This was a last minute move because my friends couldn’t help me. Devon Movers showed up that day because I needed them that day or next. They moved someone else in morning and took me in late afternoon. The men were so courteous and so willing to put things right were I wanted them. And the supervisor Alex or Frank kept in contact with me thru out the day and to let me know when the men were to arrive and called again during the drive to the new place just to see how everything was going. Fantastic Company!

My fiancé and I hire Devon Movers to assist us with our move from our one bedroom apartment this past weekend and I can’t say enough wonderful things — they truly blew us away!
They arrived early and had us moved into our new apartment in about 2.5 hours. They were careful to wrap all of our items to prevent damage and double checked with us a few times to ensure everything we needed to move was on the truck. We have a rather large sofa and the guys went an extra mile to remove doors to squeeze that sucker into our place (it is now safe and sound in our family room).
Great attitudes, incredibly friendly. We will most definitely use Devon if we make another move in the future. Highly recommended!

This company came highly recommended by a friend who used them a few years back. I gave them a call and the guy who answered asked me how when the move it s going to be, how many bedrooms and where too. I told him that I have one bedroom and i mentioned that besides my bed, nightstands and dresser i have an extra dresser a rocking chair and a crib.
On the day of the move EVERYTHING was packed in boxes, beds cribs and rocking chair disassembled, mattresses wrapped in plastic etc… They gad to carry them downstairs and load then unload and carry them upstairs. Two stories down then one story up. Elevators at both ends! Distance between the places was a 7 – 8 min drive on a non busy street. I was told by the man I talked to when I scheduled the move that this should take about 3 hours, 4 at the most. They called me half an hr earlier to see if i was ready to start the move. I was. They were sent with a small truck. We were told all the stuff won t fit in the truck so they had to load on truck and come again. I called the company and i was told that s a truck that fits a one bedroom apartment and if the stuff doesn t fit in it I probably have too much stuff. I was asked «what do you have in that apartment? How much stuff do you have?! You would probably need more men and a bigger truck then but i don t have anything available right now»… Very dismissive…
I would assume it s their strategy to make more money. Send a smaller truck so the stuff doesn t fit and of course then it s ur fault bcs u have too much stuff…
What was i supposed to do?! I had to move that day. Had some «fragile» marked boxes which i thought they would put on top and handle with care, but they would stack other boxes on top of them without any worries…
The same apartment (minus the crib dresser rocking chair and 6 baby clothes boxes) was moved a year and a half ago by my husband and another friend in 4 hours in a u haul truck similar to the one the movers used in this move, pretty much the same size) and they are not professionals …
This time it took 6.5 hours!!! For a one bedroom apartment!!! I find it ridiculous! Almost $ 600 (this after they called the company and gave us «a discount»)… It is outrageous!
This was the first time we hired a moving company and our experience was not good. My friend that recommended them to me had way more stuff, heavier, a bigger place and she paid around 400 $… So seems like the price they give at first ($ 300 in my case) it s actually double in the end ($ 600 in this case)…
Shame!

Best moving experience I’ve ever had, by far. That may not be saying much, since moving is often so unpleasant. But these guys were excellent from start to finish: great communication; reasonable estimate; perfect pickup and delivery; no breakage; and the estimate was exactly what we paid. If I ever have to move again, these are definitely the guys I’m going with.

Kevin and Henry did a great job for my move yesterday. See it up with Frank and everything went according to plan. Great customer service and very accommodating.

From my first interaction with this company, I received nothing but stellar customer service and professionalism. I was a woman fleeing a difficult situation and had much anxiety regarding my move. Devon Moving Company was able to accommodate my rushed schedule while also offering affordable prices well below the competitors.
On the day of the move, my nerves were a wreck. Henry, Phyll, & Jeff met me at a storage unit to get the job done. From the start, they were patient, professional, and kind as I sorted through joint property. They worked quickly and carefully to load the truck with light hearted banter and high energy. Their energy helped to keep me focused on the task at hand and in good spirits. Having these three guys moving me that day was a blessing. And most importantly, all my belongings arrived at my new apartment in perfect condition.
I would highly recommend this company to anyone moving in the Chicago area & will be using them for my next move. Thanks, Devon Moving Company!

First time I’ve used movers in Chicago. Devon Moving was a reco from a good friend that used them a week before.
Phil, Henry, Twan and Gotti showed up early with a smile and had boxes in their hands within minutes.
The crew was fast, efficient, took great care of the precious pieces and actually seemed to have fun throughout the move
I have no hesitation in giving a 5 star rating and will be using them next time as well.

This was my first moving experience in the US, and thanks to the guys at Devon moving it went smoother than the best case scenario I had imagined. The guys (Juan, Hugo and Aruto) were extremely professional, courteous, polite and super-​super fast.
First of all, the rates are very reasonable — $ 90/​hr for 3 people. The booking process was simple and the main office followed up with me regularly. On the day of the move, the guys were late by about an hour or so (mostly because of traffic) but once they were at my place, they did not waste a second. As requested, they extra care of my expensive furniture (a plush leather couch and a fancy bed). We were basically done in 3 hours. All in all, a hassle free experience. I would definitely consider Devon Moving company for my next move and I highly recommend them to anyone who wants to move in the Chicago area.

UPDATE:
Frank called to discuss the issues raised in my Unilocal review. I was very impressed by the additional effort to follow-​up and I think this says a lot about his investment in providing good customer service. I appreciate that he listened to my perspectives, while also sharing the perspectives of his employees. He also assumed responsibility for some of the problems and expressed a sincere interest in resolving my concerns.
Given my follow-​up conversation with Frank, their responsiveness (in terms of quick communications throughout the process), and the work ethic of the movers, I would be willing to give them another chance and have confidence that the next move would go much more smoothly (although I have NO plans to move again anytime soon!).
