Last month, we helped a family of four move from Illinois to Arizona. The father Craig was transferred to a new position in Phoenix on short notice. Our crew came in and packed the family’s entire Northbrook house in a few hours and loaded everything onto the trucks.

Last month, we helped a family of four move from Illinois to Arizona. The father Craig was transferred to a new position in Phoenix on short notice. Our crew came in and packed the family’s entire Northbrook house in a few hours and loaded everything onto the trucks. Because of the short notice, the family hadn’t had a chance to find a new home in Arizona and was looking for a place to store their belongings for the time being. We were happy to provide Craig and his family one month rent-free storage at our Skokie facility. After the family purchased a house in Phoenix, the logistics manager assigned a semi-trailer and made the arrangements for long distance transit. On the day of the delivery our driver called to confirm the time and found out that neither Craig nor his wife Emily would be able to take the time from work to meet the crew.

After checking all the options, the driver made the decision to wait for the family and make an after-hours delivery. The crew started to unload at 5 pm and worked through the evening way past 11 pm. The movers were exhausted, but happy because the family got to sleep in their own beds again!

Frequently Asked Questions

01

How far in advance should I book my move?

It’s best to book your move with Elite Moving & Storage as early as possible, especially during peak moving times like summer and weekends. Reserving your moving date a few weeks ahead gives you the best chance of securing the time you want, allows our movers in the Chicagoland area time for proper planning, and helps avoid last-minute stress.

02

What items are movers not allowed to transport?

For safety and legal reasons, movers cannot transport hazardous or prohibited items. This includes flammable materials, explosives, chemicals, propane tanks, gasoline, firearms, ammunition, and illegal substances. Perishable food, plants, and pets are also not allowed on the moving truck. Our team can provide a full list ahead of your move so you know exactly what to pack separately.

03

Do you offer packing and unpacking services?

Yes. Elite Moving & Storage offers full and partial packing and unpacking services. Whether you need help packing your entire home or just fragile items like dishes, artwork, or electronics, our professional movers use high-quality materials and proven techniques to keep everything protected and organized.

04

How does Elite Moving & Storage protect my furniture during a move?

We use professional-grade moving blankets, stretch wrap, padding, and proper loading techniques to protect your furniture throughout the move. Larger items are carefully wrapped and secured inside the truck to prevent shifting, scratches, or damage. Our experienced movers handle each piece with care from pickup to delivery.
