Absolutely incredible! The customer service was easy to work with and so kind (thank you Donna!) and the movers were skilled and fast. We had a 3 person crew and they were in and out and treated our belongings with care. I cannot recommend them enough!!

How Much Do Packing Services Cost in Chicago?

Professional packing in Chicago typically costs between $1,525 for a studio and $5,730 for a 5+ bedroom house, including packing, materials, and unpacking. Your final price depends on how much you own, how many packers your home needs, and how long the crew works.

The table below shows our estimated costs by home size. A few notes to help you read it:

  • Hourly rates cover the whole crew, not each packer: $145 per hour for 2 packers, $185 for 3, $225 for 4, and $275 for 5.
  • Materials are estimated for your home size. This includes boxes, padding, and protective wrap.
  • Unpacking is optional. If you skip it, subtract the Unpacking column from the total.
  • Partial and kitchen-only packing is a flat rate. It's a good fit if you plan to pack most rooms yourself.
