Modern Movers, Inc

I agree with stefanie, unprofessional ,complaining, mover . The workers were great and worked hard. When furniture arrived , manager of apt bldg in Chgo, saw the truck, but then they left. The mover complained the whole time. Had no tools, he was slovenly, and the boxes were smashed and some hummels were smashed .my hutch was used for an eating space and their stains in the drawers and soo much more!!I reported to the company and said I had photos of all the damages, they said no need.after a long wait I received a check for $12.00 dollars . I am sending it back I feel they need it more than I do..
whatever you do do not use modern movers, they lie , they are not professional. But it takes a catastrophe to teach lessons..
Ps. - they said they could not find the apt building to which I moved to , but they found the bldg,left, and called to ask if they could co
E the next day .

Modern Movers..be wary of all the good things you read or are told by them or anyone else. One of the worst experiences I have ever had! I have never used a moving company before (and never will again) and thought it would be less stressful to hire a reputable company to move my things over 1500 miles. On the contrary, I would have been way better off renting a UHaul and doing it myself! They did not inform me of the "delivery stretch" (not getting your belongings for 2 wks!) until two days before they were to show up and load the truck. I never received any calls in regards to my stuff showing up at my new place, I had to keep making all the calls to them, even when they changed the delivery date at the last minute! Then the constant complaining of the delivery driver when he finally showed was totally irritating and his helper was useless. I ended up carrying most of my stuff into my new place myself just so they would leave sooner! The helper even commented on me tipping..really?? Sooo unprofessional! Then to top it all off, several of my boxes were smashed, even ones that had 'fragile' written all over them! It was obvious they did not show any appreciation for my belongings. So, needless to say, several of my dinner plates, serving platter & bowl were all broken. Along with a floor lamp and crystal margarita glass. Then they refused my claim! Even with me forgoing the lamp and glass just so they replaced the dishes (huge matching set that is discontinued). I also provided them pictures of the condition of the boxes, not even an apology came from them..nothing! I feel completely ripped off! So think twice before hiring a company for your big move. You'll save a lot of money and heartache with the do-it-yourself option! And you won't have to wait 2 wks for all your stuff!

Our complaints with the  pick up and delivery went relatively smooth. But we did have some damages. And that is what this review pertains to. Three weeks after  we got settled and unpacked we took pictures and made notes of several items that were damaged. We mailed this to Modern Movers with no response from them, we began making telephone calls and after several weeks received a check for one-fifth of the cost to repair items that Modern Movers packed. To be more specific in the damages that Modern Movers had packed was scratches on Steinway piano, new clothes dryer bent/damage on top, wood antique bedroom side table scratched, and glass shelf broken.

I keep seeing how they have made changes and things are better now but no!! We had damaged furniture they refused to fix because their guys swear they did do it. Well duh? Why wouldn't they deny it. We filed a claim as asked and 4 weeks later we are still calling without any return calls because the guy that deals with this is in the middle of something at the time of our call. Fat chance they have made changes for the better..more like they have made changes that make them better at avoiding paying claims for damage done by their movers! Don't use this company!! I'll be back to update this as this claim progresses..lets see if they can make this right or not??

Note: late pickup was due employee illness. I as given a discount to compensate. The price quoted was correct including the above discount. All employees were excellent including packers, Kerri and kelvin, and deliverer, Pablo. When the packers arrived, they packed everything and labeled all of the boxes. They were particularity careful with my fragile items. I was amassed at quickly they finished. The deliverer was also very efficient. Everything was delivered in excellent condition. I would highly recommend modern movers.

We had some large heavy items that needed moved to our new house. It was a local move from one side of Fort Myers to the other. The contents also included a piano. Movers were prompt and professional. They were efficient and strong so I didn't worry that they would drop something or injure themselves while moving the items.
The office staff was really helpful in working out the details and giving us a price right away on the phone. We were priced by the approximate weight and the number of men needed to move the items. The cost was $150 per hour for 3 hours minimum. They also brought boxes and packed our flat screen TV and large 7ft mirror.
I would highly recommend them for your moving needs.

Our Modern Movers, John and Eric were so awesome.  They were on time, good listeners, professional and very nice. We were under a great deal of stress because we were moving some of our brother's belongings to an assisted living facility in Ormond Beach, Fl.  approximately 5 hours from where the furniture was picked up in Ft. Myers. Everything was packed so well that I was not concerned about how things were going to arrive.  They packed everything in a few hours and then we were off to Ormond and everything was unloaded and carefully placed where I wanted it.  Many extra requests were made by me when I was not sure where I wanted something.  It was a long day and the apartment in the assisted living facility was a distance from where the truck was able to park.  So John and Eric had a lot of hauling to do without a single grimace or complaint.  Hard workers with a great work ethic.  We would definitely recommend them to anyone who asks. There is no better feeling than being able to trust a company with precious belongings and it started when I made the phone to their office when a wonderful and very caring woman named Jami assured me everything would work out well and she was right. THANK YOU MODERN MOVERS FOR A NON-STRESSED EXPERIENCE.
