We used Shur-Way 10 years ago with fantastic results, so when we recently moved again, there was no doubt in our minds who we would contract with again. The crew (John H, Mike F, Aiden, Devell, Adam and JD) arrived on time and got right to work. Even being one of the hottest September days, they worked steadily until the trucks were loaded. And while we only moved across town, they arrived at our new house following a quick lunch break, and repeated the process emptying their trucks. They reassembled the items that were taken apart and they even assisted with reassembling our Sleep Number bed, which was a BIG help! And the cost was less than we anticipated, which is always a nice surprise. We just could not be happier with Shur-Way.
Had a great move yesterday and today with Tyler, John, Aiden, and Colt. They not only did a professional job, they were courteous and attentive. Best movers we’ve had in our 25 years of marriage which included 9 military moves.Thank you.I give them my highest recommendation!
Colt, Tony B John H and Prezson did an OUTSTANDING job packing up my things. They were very professional and fast!! The absolute best way to move across the country!!The delivery driver (I unfortunately forgot his name) went above and beyond on the other end. Moving is stressful. They made it better!!
The team from Shur-way that moved us was fantastic! Tony, Adam, Marco and Joey were very professional, efficient, polite, and handled our items with great care. I highly recommend them!
Victor C. and his crew were awesome. You’re lucky if he’s the one that rolls up to your move. Highly recommend
Shur-Way Moving & Storage has been excellent for our cross-country move, Illinois to Arizona. They provided a fast and remarkably accurate quote, did careful and efficient packing of all our household goods, great preparation and loading of all furniture and boxes, and provided the muscle to move “leftover” furniture inside the house from upper and lower floors to the main floor/garage for sale and donation. Javier, Develle, and Nick were especially incredible. Everyone has been kind, helpful, and extremely hard working. Our household is in storage for the next month, but we trust that we’ll get the same amazing service on the other end of this move. Highly recommend Shur-Way!
I recently had the pleasure of working with Marco, Toby B, and Joe from Shur-Way Movers, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with their service. They were incredibly nice, professional, and efficient. From the moment they arrived, they got straight to work and packed my belongings with great care and speed. Their teamwork and attention to detail were impressive, making the entire process stress-free for me. I highly recommend Marco, Toby B, and Joe for anyone in need of reliable and friendly packers. Thank you for making my move so smooth!
We had an excellent experience with Shur-Way today. We needed some furniture moved from one location to another. We were impressed with their punctuality, communication, carefulness in moving, and overall professionalism. Javier and Marcos were excellent to work with and very flexible with some last minute changes that needed to take place. I highly recommend Shur-Way! I’m a Realtor and they’ll now be my “go-to” movers to recommend. Thank you for a wonderful experience.
Chris, Tim T, Neal and Eden did an outstanding job. We had a full house they loaded up and did it with care. We really appreciate them and the hard work.
Best Experience. Very Professional
Colt and his crew went above and beyond with my aunt’s move! Very helpful working with limited space and more boxes than we had room for!
We just finished our move today in Mundelein and I can’t say enough about the crew of Javier, Tony, Jack and Doug. They are everything we could hope for in a moving company team from Kim and Scott to the four movers. Despite it being rainy, hot and humid the never complained
Scott and team were incredible. Arrived on time, loaded the truck and place boxes in each assigned room with no errors. Nico and Lamar were very cautious moving furniture so it wouldn’t get scratched. I would highly recommend Shur Way for any moving project.
8/30/24 UPDATE: We got to Georgia at the end of June and our things were sent here…kind of, we got confirmation they were “all there” and they were sent to storage since we were looking to buy a home.They were delievered the other day, and while everything seemed to be there, things also seemed to be opened and gone through, and we do have things missing.

The motorcycle arrived, one of the saddle bags is missing, my husband had his rain suit and some other belongings in it. The other saddle bag is here. He needs a rainsuit- This is coastal Georgia.

I opened a box that was labeled “living room” and in it was all of my cast iron cookware AND a mirrored wall hanging that was not wrapped, just tucked down the side of the box next to the cast iron. It’s broken of course.

A whole box of brand new egyptian cotton towels are missing. I have no towels in my house, I have to buy more.

Half of my mother’s china (full service for 12 with serving pieces added) which was heirloomed to me after she passed away was taken OUT of the box that it had been carefully wrapped, packed and insulated in for 5 years while in storage. It is now in a small Rubbermaid bin, a Christmas snowglobe was placed on top of it and the top pushed down- it was overfilled. the first cup was broken- I stopped right there because I just can’t bring myself to look further- and by the way WHERE is the rest of it?!

A Mikasa serving platter- doscontinued pattern- packed on the bottom of a box of heavier dishes. Broke in half.

When our truck was totaled right before we moved, we took the toolbox off of it. My husband put his iPass in it, and because of how hectic our life was, he forgot to deactivate it. He got a notice from the tollway of unpaid tolls on that pass from mid-July IN Illinois. We have been in Georgia since June 26th. You do the math.
He has informed me that the toolbox was locked and we have the keys, but it was left open when it was dropped off and a whole set of channel locks is also missing.

NEVER USE THIS COMPANY. They hure unskilled labor and treat them badly- so not a lot of care is taken with the packing and the moving. They simply DON’T CARE.

Not only does this company deserve to lose its contracts with the military, they should lose their civilian contracts too. This whole experience has been so stressful. I would pack and move myself if they were the only mover in town
*********************************
I wish I had seen this page before the current nightmare we are having with this company. I would have told my husband to call the organizer of our PCS move and ask them to find another company. They screwed up our move, made us postpone our cleaning and walk through, losing 3 days from our rent reimbursement. Now we have to go back to the house for the cleaning service instead of being on the road tomorrow. After reading these reviews I am also concerned that our belongings, including my husband’s motorcycle, which we need since we have only one vehicle due to an accident which totaled our truck, will NOT be where we need it to be when we arrive in Georgia.
This company should lose their contracts with the military, because it looks like they don’t give a crap about doing a good job for those who serve. Moving is stressful enough without dealing with this BS.
I hired Shur-Way to move a large, extremely heavy safe. Colt, Tony, JD and Javier M were awesome!! My wife recently completed a renovation of our staircase and they used extreme care to make sure there were no issues. I was extremely pleased with the job they did and will definitely recommend Shur-Way for anyone that is in need of movers!!!
Colt and Tony came out to pack up my HHG and I have to say they were both extremely professional, on time, and very pleasant to work with. I was more than satisfied with their quality of service.
Review for Shur-Way Movers⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐I recently had Shur-Way Movers unpack my military household items on June 10th, and the service was outstanding. Tony, Adam, and Daniel were an exceptional team. They arrived on time and immediately got to work with great efficiency and care.Tony’s leadership was clear as he coordinated the process seamlessly. Adam’s strength and precision ensured that everything was unpacked without any damage. Daniel’s friendly and accommodating attitude made the entire experience stress-free and pleasant.Their professionalism and attention to detail were truly impressive. They treated my belongings with the utmost respect and worked diligently to ensure everything was placed exactly where I wanted.I highly recommend Shur-Way Movers, especially Tony, Adam, and Daniel, for their exceptional service. Thank you for making my move so smooth and easy!
Had an amazing moving experience with the help of Tony, Adam and Javier, N.They packed out my storage unit for a Military Move and they were very professional and speedy!Entire storage unit boxed up neatly and orderly w/ accurate inventory in just 2.5 hours. Will definitely be using these guys in the future!
Tony and Adam delivered our son’s things in perfect condition. They were both super polite and friendly.
The Shur-way group did a great job from start to finish. When we called for the the estimate from them we were given a very fair and timely estimate. When the team came to pack our goods, Mike Chris, Martin, Scott and Joey did a phenomenal job. They took the extra care of extra packing our older antiques and everything arrived perfectly. We will definitely use them again!
These guys were the best ! Very professional, courteous , quick and on time ! No issues …. Made my move easier . I would tell everyone about Shur-Way Moving and Cartage !😊
Great experience with the company. John, Javier and Tony showed up on time and moved everything from the truck . They were very professional and communicated the entire time . Awesome guys
We had an absolutely outstanding experience with the Shur-Way moving team. The team was comprised of Mike F, Tony B, Neil, Adam, Doug, Martin, and Christ. The team is very experienced and highly knowledgeable. They worked quickly and were well organized. Our belongings were packed very well, and we did not have any breakage. We enjoyed getting to know and working with each member of the team. We highly recommend Shur-Way and this expert team of movers. Bravo!!!
Did an excellent job in eVery way
Tony and Willie were very professional and friendly. So helpful with everything. So politeand careful. All went smoothly. They actually made it enjoyable, no stress. Mariann Gregory Chicago
Words can’t express the excellent service the gentleman have done.. they went above and beyond.. they are very professional and understanding.. my mom is elderly relocating to another state.. I felt very comfortable and secure in their hands.. I highly recommend them.. it was service with a 😃.. these gentlemen need a bonus! Thanks again Tony B, William Daniels(Driver), Nick, Marcus..
Niko, Davelle, and Tony were awesome. They were efficient and took great care of our items. Will be using them again in the future.
Our crew for our recent move was efficient and handle everything with care. They didn’t just give up when a piece wouldn’t fit, they put in as much effort without causing any damage. They even finished hours ahead of schedule while still upholding care! Big thank you to Chris G, Willy, Doug and Marten!
Victor and his crew-Marco, Bianca, and Chris-did a wonderful job in completing the packing for our move. They were efficient and very pleasant to work with!
We had an outstanding experience with our move. The team of Colt, Tony, Niko, Nick, Marcus, and Martin were professional, courteous, and efficient.They were extremely conscientious and protective of our home and household goods. They worked tirelessly and as a well-oiled team. They were very patient and understanding—ensuring everything was placed where and how we wanted it and that everything was reassembled and working perfectly.It was a stellar experience made even more so by an outstanding Shurway team.
great work by the entire team Lou Dresdon Christ Martin and Adamwe have moved over a dozen times and this was the least stressful making it the easiest
My wife and I had a crew of three (Willie, Tony and Niko) and were moving items to a storage locker and to our new rental. They took great care of our possessions and finished everything very quickly. We will be using them again when we move to our new house later this year
Great agent, knowledgeable and friendly warehouse staff…I enjoy working on their warehouse floor!
Shur-way movers did an excellent job for us. Javier, Colt and Adam worked efficiently and professionally making our local move smooth. Thank you!
THE best moving company! I have used Shur-Way before and they have always given excellent service. The entire company treated me like a VIP from Joe to Holly to Jose and his crew. The crew loaded and unloaded my stuff with such efficiency.I will definitely be calling them again on my next move!
Jose and his crew did a wonderful job packing our home for our move. They were very professional and efficient.
Great experience with Shur-Way. Ryan initially came over and provided the quote based on the ‘stuff’ he saw. Within a few days I called their office and scheduled the move.The morning of, it ended up snowing a few inches. Despite this, the Shur-Way team arrived on time with two trucks. They promptly laid down runners throughout my hallway, discussed what to move first, and got to work. I liked that they clarified if some items were to be moved or not.After the trucks were loaded, they made two stops. One to our temporary housing to drop off a piano, and the final stop to our storage unit. Considering how much ‘stuff’ we had, it only took approx 5 hours to move everything (and it was snowing the whole time). I would recommend them, and would hire them again when we move to our permanent home.
These guys are the real deal! Lou, Tony, Tyler, and gunner! Moved a gigantic cabinet from our old office to our new office. I will definitely be sending them referrals!
Tony R. and Brian N. were excellent at moving my motorcycle across the country in a timely manor while taking great care of the motorcycle to avoid any damage. A very professional and recommendable crew!
Adam and his crew (I list the paper with everyone’s name) were amazing!!! Our move on March 1 was potentially complicated because not everything in the house was going to our new place. They arrived at 8:30 and never stopped. They were polite, neat and very careful with all of our belongings. If I had to move again, not only would I use shurway but I would specifically ask for this crew!!!!!!
Chris, Tony, and Martin deserve a standing ovation for their moving mastery! These guys made relocating a breeze with their lightning speed, impeccable cleanliness, and efficiency that would make Einstein jealous.Not only did they unload all our stuff into our new digs like pros, but they also did it with smiles on their faces and jokes up their sleeves. Who knew moving could be this much fun?So, here’s a virtual high-five to Chris, Tony, and Martin for being the moving dream team we never knew we needed. You guys rock! 🚚👏🎉
Packers Amanda , Becky. & movers Casey, Dresden, Martin are all very nice & more than accommodating. There seems to be a disconnect between them & office staff & quote personnel. We marked everything out as Scott instructed us to, but when loading and unloading there is not a fluid system. We have incurred some damage and are still unboxing 10 days later. Hopefully we do not find any more damage to the remaining items. Overall I would recommend you contact them if you are considering moving.
Great job! Tony B, Chris G and Nick S were efficient, friendly and respectful. Thanks guys!
Mike F. Tony B., Neal A., Nikko C., Adam M. Are the REAL DEAL! Mike and Tony did both our move and move in and are class acts. Very conscientious and professional. You get what you pay for with Shurway, top notch job! Thank you all for your hard work and getting us safely moved in to our home!
Chris Brown, Mike Folkes, and Darius Woodson moved me this past December and were efficient, hard-working and got me all moved in in a timely manner with absolutely no damages to my stuff or the buildings. I highly recommend Shurway Movers. This was my second move using Shurway. Can’t beat their service!
Professional, friendly, communicative! Excellent services. I highly recommend this company.
Our family couldn’t be happier with our move . Our move was a breath of fresh air . Lou , Tony & their crew were super awesome and exceeded our expectations. They treated us like family and took care of our belongings like they were there own and were handled w care. I’m going to recommend to all my friends and family . Shurway is definitely the right way
Fast, efficient, helpful & would do any moving of any piece of furniture wherever with no complaints. Mike F., Davelle F., Marcus T. & Nick S. are the absolute nicest men to work with for a big move! Thank you!!! AAAA+++++
Very friendly and professional movers! Right on time! They Went the extra miles 4 shur! They helped make my move from one state to another! We Thank you movers!! -E.Zurek (Elizabeth Zurek
I’m in the Navy, and I have never done a military move on my own like this, Tony B and Casey were really friendly and helpful! They took care of everything and where very quick and neat about it!
The “packers”, Maggie and Becky, wrapped up today and we are very pleased with the job they’ve done. Fast, efficient, pleasant, and everything looks perfect for the movers to come pick up tomorrow. Thanks for a job well done ladies.
We highly recommend Shur way!!! They have moved our family several times. The last move was across the country from Grayslake to San Antonio. Not one thing was damaged. The team of women that packed our boxes did an amazing job. They were beyond helpful and so efficient. They took a lot of stress off of our plate. Our mover John and his team were incredible. He took great care in making sure that our breakable items were in a safe spot in the truck. Overall excellent service from the entire Shur Way team. Ryan was our moving consultant. His estimate was right on the money. The ladies in the office were helpful as well. We cannot say enough good things about this company. They really go above and beyond to make it as easy as possible. Thanks Shur Way!!!
fast and professional, unloading sit

Great people to work with. very professional from start to finish. Fair price too. Highly recommend.
I have used this service two times in the past 7 months and couldn’t be happier with their service. Definitely 5 STARS
I would highly recommend Shur-Way moving. They were very professional and extremely helpful. The movers were great. I am an older woman and they were great when I was packing up the last items they moved the boxes helped me out with tapping them after they were packed. After my experience with Shur-Way I would never use anyone but Shur-Way if I ever have to move again.
I cannot say enough fantastic things about shur-way. I highly recommend. They were on time and very professional. We moved to another state and both crews were outstanding. I hope not to move for a very long time but I will use them in the future.
Professional and on time. Great communication by email, text, and phone calls. Reasonable rates compared to other companies I contacted for information! Would use again and recommend to friends!
They did a great job. Packed us up last October, put everything in storage, delivered everything in June. No issues, no problems. Great company.
Dan and tyler were really awesome!! My daughter kept asking questions and they were so nice to her by answering them all.Also very organized which makes it less stressful for me and my girls.
professionalism, communication was clear from start to finish
Recently moved with shurway. The crew was extremely professional and organized. Having such organization really made for a stress free move. 10/10 would recommend.
This is late coming but I had the opportunity of working with one of your drivers while they were servicing a client in Marion Illinois Jonathan and Eric were terrific love their energy and commitment. The McCameron family was very very happy.
Shur-Way did an outstanding job with our move. They were all very respectful and polite. They worked very hard and it was an extremely smooth mood. It was a little challenging at our new house and they never complained. Everything was moved with no scratches or breakage. Thank you.
