Tue Sep 03 2013My son was leaving college and left his moving details to the last min. I called Olympia Moving and Storage looking for an estimate, but I ended up reserving them in the same phone call. I had called several movers before them, but their price and customer service felt right. They were able to move my son just in time and were affordable on his college budget. This moving company is perfect for people looking to move without a clue how it's done. They are so efficient and patient with their customers and help walk them through the process of moving. Wonderful job Olympia!

Thu Aug 15 2013No wonder many people recommended it. Attention to detail - I now know what is wrong to each piece of furniture I own. I had a two part move from Illinois to 2 stops in Atlanta. All other movers wanted to estimate how much based on my description of the furniture, Olympia gave me a lower price based on seeing the furniture - which is exactly what I paid. They were early to arrive. They even called midway to see if everything was going smoothly. When they took apart my T.V. stand they noticed a missing screw, and when they put it back they actually fixed it!

Wed Jul 24 2013As a military family, we tend to move around quite a bit. Last year, we used Olympia Moving and really enjoyed their service. When we found out we were moving again, we knew who we wanted our movers to be. When I called, they even remembered who I was and asked about my 3 kids. They have such reasonable prices and professional employees, but it was the personal details that really made the difference. The next time we move, I know exactly who we will use. I would highly recommend them to any other family with someone in the service.

Sun Jul 21 2013Last week I used Olympia Moving and Storage to move across the country from college back to my parents. It was nothing out of hand, you know.. Just the basics: bed, nightstand, a little desk, a small dresser and some boxes with knick-knacks and clothes. Problem is - this time I had to do all it on my own, and I'm only 19. From the very first call I knew I was in good hands. They were always on top of everything, explained everything thoroughly to me regarding packing and time-windows (I think that's what they called it). They called me back when they said they would, the emailed me everything I had to know and even called me two days before my move to make sure I had everything I needed. This was my first move so I was a bit nervous seeming I really didn't have the slightest idea what needed to be done, but these guys guided me through all of it patiently and professionally. I really can't say enough about how great they were. Highly recommended...

Mon Jul 15 2013I wish I could try and compare Olympia Moving and Storage to other movers, but I can't since I have never used another company. I've moved with them twice and both times they were efficient, cost effective, extremely friendly, helpful and above all - professional. They give a premium service at all levels of the move at a totally reasonable price. The sales representative who helped me set up my move followed up on the day of the move and the company itself called me on various occasions to update me on how my move was going. I felt very supported and secure all the time. Olympia is the most pleasant part of my moving experiences and I am sure that I will use their services again in the future.

Thu Jul 11 2013The whole team did a wonderful job and I am completely satisfied. The movers came to pick up our stuff around noon (right in the middle of the time-window they had previously given me - they arrived @ 12:45 so it's well within 12- 2 window they established). They were swift and careful at the same time, it was so professional I knew they know what they're doing. They performed everything very efficiently and were extremely cautious with our belongings as if it were their own household items, and wrapped the furniture neatly and securely. There were no price changes or surprises before or after the move. They delivered our items on time. Actually, the funny thing is WE were a little late because we drove ourselves to our new home and they had to wait for us to get there, but they were patient and understanding. I haven't noticed any damages in my items (although I haven't finished unpacking everything). They are reliable and fair - I would definitely use them again.

Mon Jul 08 2013Olympia took care of my move from A to Z. I've got only good things to say: first of all, they arrived on time and performed the packing professionally, were very orderly and responsible with all my belongings, and got things rolling quickly. They packed everything with great care, as well as disassembled and reassembled everything - just like they promised. The move went smoothly and nothing was damaged or missing, and I am very happy since I've read some horror stories about moving online. All in all, their staff was very polite and courteous, both the movers and the representatives, and they did everything in their power to take the stress off my move. The price I paid was very reasonable considering all I got from these guys. THANK YOU Olympia moving and storage!

Wed Jun 26 2013The Next time I even think about moving again, I will without a doubt pick Olympia Moving. They are the most respectful and understanding movers I have ever had to deal with. My representative spent so much time making sure the price was down as much it could go, and like most people moving, I was on a strict budget. The movers that came to my house didn't make me do a thing. All I had to do was pack my boxes and have a check ready. They packed my things so fast and with such care. I don’t think I was worried once about things breaking. Great Job!

Sun Jun 23 2013Olympia Moving and Storage did an amazing job when we moved to the City last week. We were moving a 5 bedroom house for 6 people. It was with out a doubt a big job. But the guys at Olympia moved us with ease. It only took about an hour or so to book the date for our move and a week later, the movers showed up and did their thing. They are so fast and good at what they do! There is no way that I could have moved it all on my own with a rental truck. I would have thrown out my back and dropped the couch down the stairs. I sincerely recommend Olympia Moving and Storage for your next move.

Thu Jun 20 2013My son was coming home from college and of course he forgot about how he would get all of his things home. I called Olympia Moving and Storage and they really saved our butts! They were so attentive and friendly over the phone. It only took me one phone call to book the entire move. When it was time for the move the guys that came were so great! They must have gone up and down those stairs 5 times, but they did it with a smile!

Thu Jun 20 2013The peashooter is the basic, go-to-attack plant in the game PVZ. You can get this in level 1. Do you know how many shots it takes to kill a regular zombie? It is 10. Peashooters are good for the early game since they don’t cost a lot of sun. Once you have about 2-3 peashooters per lane, it is better to replace them with stronger plants, such as a snow pea or a repeater. PVZ game is very popular now, so does Plants Vs Zombies Plush toys. Among all the plants and zombies peashooters are the hottest. It has cute appearance with fine workmanship. Unlike other toys, those Plants Vs Zombies Plush toys can stand up. Therefore, you can use it to decorate your house or your car. You can also pick this up and give it to your kids. http://www.toyswill.com/plants-vs-zombies-c-8_106_18.html

Sun Jun 16 2013I have never really moved before and I was so worried about all the plates and glass wear. I had so many questions. Olympia Moving was really great at telling the client everything that they needed to know. They were so helpful and polite, even after I called 4 times in a row on a Sunday! They have a team of people making sure our move goes smoothly. Thanks Olympia! I will be recommending you to all my moving friends

Thu Jun 13 2013My mother was moving in with me and we needed to pack up her entire home of things, Olympia Moving handled everything so well. They were so great with my mother and they made sure to explain everything she asked about. She was worried about moving her antique vanity table, but they derived it back to her without one scratch. I am really impressed with their level of professionalism. I would honestly recommend them to anyone who needs a stress free and easy move.

Wed Jun 12 2013Wow. I'm seriously impressed. Olympia Moving and Storage did a fantastic job. I am the first to admit that I am a difficult client to deal with, but hey I just want to get my moneys worth! They were knowledgeable about everything I asked about, you can tell they have been in business a LONG time. This is one if those times were experience makes all the difference. The movers were fast and could fit so much stuff into one truck. The last time I moved, I was charged because they needed an additional truck to ship my things. But Olympian Moving and storage made it look like a real game of Tetris. Like I said, these guys know what they are doing.

Mon Jun 10 2013I have used quite a few movers in my day and I can honestly say that I've never has such a smooth move! Olympia Moving and Storage really know what they are doing! They packed up our piano with ease and nothing was damaged, which is a fist for me! I was really pleased. Hopefully I won't have to move again, but if I do, I will use Olympia Moving and Storage.

Thu Jun 06 2013My 86 year old mother was moving in with me and I needed to pack up her apartment even though I was 2 states away. Olympia Moving was great about everything. They made sure to take amazing care of all of her antique furniture and they were so patient with her. I really appreciate their work and I would absolutely use them again! Thanks Olympia!

Mon Jun 03 2013When my family and I moved to Indiana last week we used Olympia Moving to pack up our entire house. They came and picked everything up, all we did was put our clothes into boxes. We decided to do a bit of traveling before we moved, so they stored our things for free! I would use them again and recommend them to all of our friends.

Wed May 29 2013Last week I moved from New Jersey to Chicago and used Olympia. They packed up 4 rooms in my house and I didn’t have to do a thing. It was so nice to not have to worry about one less thing. They took amazing care of my antique grandfather clock and packed it up with extra packaging. I was really worried about it breaking during the move since it’s so expensive to fix. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who has valuables and is looking for a little extra care.

Wed Feb 17 2010Great Job Olympia! Alfredo, I hired your movers for the second time in last 10 months. As with the first experience with your company, the second time exceeded my expectations even further. On a very short notice, I called Olympia Moving and they managed to gather a crew of 3. Every one of your employees who worked for had the same high level of professionalism and courtesy as the first crew. As a business owner, I can say - your employees are outstanding. They take pride in what they do! That is highly commendable. I cannot say enough and do highly recommend your company. I will pass out your brochure to everyone that enquires and needs to move. Keep up the good work!!!

Thu Feb 11 2010I have used Olympia Moving Company for my move, and it was simply Outstanding! The set-up was great, customer service, but what really made the difference were the movers themselves. All three were hard working, took their job seriously and were very personable; I have moved 2 times in the last 3 years in the Chicago area and this was the first one that was problem-free and the first one where the movers were skilled and immensely knowledgeable. I would highly recommend their service to anyone moving in the Chicago area.. Very friendly and outgoing. Good experience over all.

Sun Feb 07 2010The process was pleasant from the onset, with the scheduler on the phone describing their rate structure and what to expect on the day of the move with the utmost customer service. On the day of the move five guys showed up exactly on time and worked flawlessly. It was a record heat weekend and never once did I find that they were slacking off or taking it easy. They were meticulously careful with my belongings. (While it's painful to see $100+ in tape and box costs, when I saw how well padded everything was and found it to have arrived without damage, it was worth it.) Terrific work all around.

Sun Jan 31 2010I had a fantastic experience with Olympia Moving and I've used a lot of movers and bad experiences in the last 10 yrs I've been in Chicago. We moved out of a 3 bdrm duplex, 2nd floor. And we had A LOT of stuff. We moved out 1 day, stored our things on the truck for 2 nights, and moved into a 5 bedroom house in Naperville on another day. We also had them stop by our suburban storage facility to pick up even more of our things. Both move days went so smoothly! I only paid for 3 men, but on the first day, they brought 8 men and my move out was done in 2 hrs! Then during move in, I again paid for 3 men, but they had at least 4 men and we got everything done in just a few hours. My total bill was right in line with the estimate. They give you free wardrobe boxes, which are awesome, and they were very careful with all our things. And they were super fast - I have never seen people move that quickly. I will never use another moving company, Olympia Moving was amazing and all the guy... Read more

Wed Jan 27 2010Moved this past Friday and I had an awesome experience with Olympic Moving! I had a 4 man crew and they arrived 10 minutes early, they were scheduled to move us out by 7:00 a.m. My fiancé and I had selected things we wanted moved and they didn't have a problem with that. I went to Starbucks to get them a breakfast sandwich and they didn't even stop to eat. They were fast, efficient and HARD working! We moved out of a small one bedroom apartment and my fiancé had a storage unit at Public Storage. They moved us into our third floor, two bedroom condo. We had some heavy furniture (sofa bed) and they moved everything with ease. They were done with everything in about 4 hours and we appreciated everything they did for us. I highly recommend Olympic Moving and we will use them again when we move :)

Wed Jan 27 2010I was a little dubious about hiring movers, especially moving from a 2,000 sq foot apartment with 10 years worth of stuff. The Olympia Moving crew put my mind at ease; they were extremely professional from my initial estimate query over the phone, to a prompt arrival and exceptionally speedy move. I was impressed that there were 6 guys, with a manager who assessed the situation and basically oversaw the details to ensure a smooth load and unload. The crew was friendly and courteous, and very respectful of my belongings, and my new condo. It was a pretty big move, with a lot of bulky items, from a vintage high-rise with a freight elevator (which can be very time consuming). The guys had us loaded and unloaded in roughly 5 1/2 hours, coming in under their time estimate, and even slightly under their price estimate. Definitely go with these guys for a hassle free worry free move. Thanks guys.

Tue Sep 29 2009BOY O BOY! I was moving from Skokie to downtown Chicago and I had ALOT of stuff... I though I wouldn't need a moving company and could do it all by myself. Man was I wrong. I had 1 day left until I had to leave my apartment so I called my buddy who had recently moved. He told me to call Olympic. He said they were fast, affordable, and professional. For a Chicago moving company they were amazing! They came on time, they gave me free boxes, and they helped me with everything! NOTHING WAS DAMAGED EVEN!!!! The lady whom I spoke to was so nice, and couldn't have made me feel any less stressed out. I believe her name was Adi ... anyways I would recommend Olympic moving and storage to EVERYONE!!!!! Easy 5 out of 5!

Thu Sep 24 2009It’s such a relief I found Olympic movers in time for my move. God Olympic is a life saver! I had a last minute move from Michigan to Skokie. I called 2 days before my move, and they luckily were available. I have moved 2 times in the past, and these movers were the best moving company i have ever used. I would recommend Olympic movers to anyone inside or outside of Chicago!

Wed Sep 09 2009I moved from Ohio to Chicago, I had received several estimates inaccordance with my HR departments guidleines for reimbursement. Of course they force you to go with te cheapest one. This concerned me big time considering this company was about 15% cheaper than the other 2. On moving day I was suprised to see a full crew on time... I expected delays and excuses. Instead they got right to work and had my home loaded intwo hours. I lucked out but the truck was on a return trip to Chicago and I got my things the next evening delivered by the same guys. Everything looked good and they even put together some furniture I had taken apart. I don't see how they offer this service so cheap without going out of business.

Mon Jan 19 2009I was in a real budget crunch and called every mover in the yellow pages. These guys had some pretty good prices. Last time I moved I got taken for $150 bucks for tape. these guys give all the material for free. They even bubble wrapped and boxed my lcd for free. Awesome move. Couldn't have been happier.
