A-Best-Way Moving Company

called because listed #3 on this site (clearly i didn't scroll down to read reviews) & the first 2 companies were expensive. ""bargain moving"" is NOT the way to go. here's highlights: Pros: NO PROS Cons: read above. more

I scheduled a move over a month in advance and even called to confirm the move a few days before, which they did confirm. They called me at 2pm the day before my move and told me ""my move had been canceled"" because their truck broke yet miraculously they could move me on Sunday. Not only did I end up paying double for new movers but I had to call about 10 different places because Labor Day weekend, I was told, is one of the busiest moving weekends of the year. I never even received an apology from the jerks. I called to speak to the manager, was put on hold FOREVER, so I gave up. My advice to someone looking for movers, spend more cash to get better movers. Cons: Everything about this company is a con! more

I used A-Best-Way Moving for a 1 bed room apartment job moving 5 blocks. The 3 man crew promised showed up 1 hour late of my 2 hour reserved elevator time, unprepared, no equipment, did not bring the promised 4 free wardrobe boxes for my clothes, did not have tools to unasemble my bed, I had to look in boxes to find tools. My move should have not taken more than 3 hours (I moved the same amount 1 year ago for 3 hours). This job took 4 1/2 hours. They were constantly absent for up to 15 minutes - all 3 of them. This was the WORST move ever. They did not have the address to where I was moving, although when I called to complain - several times on the day of the move and the following business day, I was told they would check into the situation and would call me back - this was two weeks ago. I have heard nothing. I was told by the only one that spoke English - that he didn't even work for this company. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY Pros: cheap rate Cons: poor service, unprofessional crew more

I called A-Best Way Moving company this morning for an estimate to get an armoire from Kenosha to Evanston. The gentleman on the phone was nice and asked when I wanted the armoire moved. I told him preferably today, but that I could be flexible on other days this week. He said, ""We can do this today."" and gave me an estimate. After calling other businesses to check prices I called A-Best back and hired them (their price was the most reasonable). Pros: Friendly service Cons: Did not keep word of sending two men, instead sent one w/ his petite wife and three children more

I used this company in May 2005 and would only recommend them if you want a good laugh! The truck showed up with a cardboard sign handwritten and duct-taped saying ""A Bestway Movers"" - a bad start. They were also three hours late (supposed to arrive at 8am but did not arrive until noon), stating that their early morning move in the suburbs ran behind. One mover was a senior citizen and said his back was bad so he couldn't carry anything heavy. I have an antique piano and explained this to the moving company three times in advance. Unfortunately this was not communicated to the movers and they were visibly upset and sluggish about moving it. About half the money I spent on this move was dedicated to this piano!The truck finally pulled into my new apartment back alley and crashed into the fence - to this day it is still broken. Their truck blocked off cars in the alley, causing quite a riot. $80 of my time and a visit from two cops later - they were able to get away from the shouting match in the alley and finish the job. Pros: One mover was young, friendly and quick to get the job done Cons: Another mover was old, mean and wanted to get home to his wife who ""injured his back in bed the night before"" more

I see in another review they never showed up; if only that had happened to me. Where to start? First, the movers show up telling us we have to pay a ""truck watcher"" in addition to them, so already we're over the estimate. Then we find an alarmingly high percentage of boxes labeled for the upstairs down in the basement and vice-versa. Finally, the piece de resistance: the movers scratched the hardwood floors BADLY at our old place and management wouldn't do anything but send over a guy with wood putty and some stain. We had to refinish the floors ourselves under threat of litigation. more

Signed up for a move on October 1 at 7am. When they failed to show, I called at 730 and they said they would be at my place by 9am. After that, they never showed up and wouldnt even answer their phone. This is a sleazy operation and you should stay away from it. more
