Hey all. Moving across Chicago in a few weeks and the part that's killing me isn't the move itself, it's the packing. I have a whole condo of stuff, fragile dishes, books, the works, and zero time after work to box it all up properly. I'd happily pay for professional packing if it's done right and things actually survive the trip. Does anyone know a Chicago mover that offers solid packing services and supplies the materials? Want it wrapped properly, not just chucked in boxes.

Packing is genuinely the worst part, so paying for it is money well spent. I used FairPlay Moving for a Chicago move and added their packing service, best decision. They brought the materials and wrapped everything properly, fragile dishes and glassware got real attention, nothing broke in transit. They do full-service, so packing, disassembly, loading, unpacking, you pick what you need. One heads-up they're upfront about: if you pack your own boxes those items aren't insured, so letting them pack the fragile stuff is the safer call. Licensed, insured, clear hourly rates. So for packing I'd recommend them. Get an estimate and tell them what needs wrapping.
