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!

I had a very bad experience with Modern Movers.  Initially they moved our stuff into storage and that part was excellent - I was very impressed.  Some years later, after always paying my storage fees, I decided to relocate back to the UK and that was when things went bad.  They took ages to answer emails, were very late in obtaining quotations and dragged their feet even more when I wanted to get a date for shipping out.  I had to threaten legal action at one point to get a response to a routine email.  In the end it took me over four months from asking for a quote to getting my stuff shipped. Absolutely ridiculous customer service.  Avoid at all costs.

The 4 movers that moved our entire home from one side of Naples (moving out of a unit with stairs) to our new home were outstanding. They went out of their way to insure that all the furniture was placed exactly where we wanted it before they left. They completed an inventory to insure all furniture, artwork, etc. that was packed at the original home arrived at its new destination in the same condition as when it was packed. They were prompt arriving to start the job, prepared with boxes and shrink wrap, pads, mats, and the entire home was moved in less than a day. I recommend these folks to anyone. Outstanding, outstanding, outstanding! Thank you!

Horrible service! Was originally charged to move a grand piano in a separate truck, with a separate charge from that of the household goods. Then they crammed my household goods (11,000 lbs) into an almost full semi. They didn't even have room for their dollies to fit inside, it was so full. When my stuff arrived in the semi, they opened the back door and the grand piano was in there with a lot of spare room in the back. None of my shipment was moved forward, so there should not have been room to spare, never mind the piano at the very back of the truck. Not to mention I was charged AGAIN for the weight/transportation of the piano! Needless to say, A LOT of my items/boxes were missing. Most were things left to me by my parents and grandparents, which can never be replaced. Several high ticket items were also missing. Of the boxes/items that were left, a good 40% were damaged or broken. The driver (who was new, and not a part of the original group in FL) called the office several times to complain, and they hung up on him. This happened in front of me, while he had his phone on speaker! No one from the original packing (FL) was at the delivery end, as is required. Needless to say, the driver quit that day. I would NOT recommend this company to anyone! I would not even give it 1 star, if it were not required!!

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.
