If there is one key aspect of moving successfully – it is definitely planning ahead. However, you might not have that luxury at this time. Emergencies tend to happen, even when everything seemingly might be going according to plan.

The Difficulty Of An Emergency Move
While everyone keeps preaching and raving about calling up your movers 4-6 weeks in advance – that isn’t possible when those movers you called 6 weeks ago stand you up and fail to show up.

How to Prepare For A Same Day Move
Packing for an emergency move can cause utter chaos in your mind and in your home, but there are ways to ease this project for yourself. Save time and money by starting to pack as soon as you’ve found out that you have to move, start with your most important items, documents and essentials, move on to fragiles and breakables – and finish up with the unbreakables.
You might not have time to pack in any kind of organized manner – in fact, you probably don’t have any time to pack at all. So, consider saving time where you can pack your clothes with their hangers, using your clothing, linens and towels to line fragile items. If you feel like this process is too overwhelming for you – maybe the best solution might be to hire packers and movers and get the entire process over with. They will be able to pack up your entire home and move you over the course of a day, which can be the perfect option when you need an emergency move executed with ease.
Hiring Emergency Movers
Even though you are moving in a hurry – you don’t want to have just about anyone move your possessions and risk a nightmare moving experience. When you don’t have a choice, you still need to find licensed, insured and reputable movers that will handle your move. To you, this might be an emergency, but for them it’s just another moving job that they need to complete with just as much effort and caution.
Consider hiring your movers for more than just moving. Moving companies offer more services than just moving – they can also pack and unpack your goods for you as soon as you’ve moved in. You can make the best choice for your moving situation and call up your movers for the service you are looking for.
- As soon as you are on the line with your potential emergency movers, ask them if they would be able to accommodate your move in such a short timeframe. Do keep in mind that they will need basic information in order to determine this: the size and volume of your move, as well as the pick up and delivery locations.
- Always hire trained, professional movers no matter how desperate you might be to get this done as soon as possible. The damage unlicensed or untrained movers can make during your move can cost you way more than hiring licensed movers to even pack you up for the price.
Hire Your Emergency Movers For A Partial Service
You don’t always have to hire movers for the full service. If you are failing to find a company to do the entire move for you – you might need to rent a truck. In this case, you will probably have more luck finding emergency movers to help you load up the truck, or help on the other end – depending where you need the most efficiency during your move.
So – you have three clear options here.
Packers and movers
Packers and movers are the best solution you can hire for yourself in the middle of an emergency move. You won’t have to lift a finger and your move will be completed as if it were planned for weeks. No stress is involved in this option whatsoever, but it might be extremely tricky to find same day packers and movers as they probably require these moves to be done in the morning.
Standard service movers
A standard service can include everything except packing. It’s a great solution, and you will have more luck than finding packers and movers – that’s for sure. They will require you to be packed or mostly packed, as we at Professional Movers Chicago offer a partial packing service of your kitchen and clothing at no extra charge.
Labor movers
You will probably have the most luck with orchestrating a labor move, as this is one half of an entire move and any moving company will probably have a higher chance of availability for a shorter move like this one. Loading or unloading your truck with professional movers can substantially ease the entire moving process.
The Most Common Questions When Looking For Emergency Movers
What will packers and movers pack for you?
Our packers and movers at Professional Movers Chicago will pack absolutely everything for your move except items that are hazardous and forbidden on the moving truck. Even the smallest items will be professionally packed into boxes and handled with utmost caution and care.
What is a partial packing service?
Professional Movers Chicago offers a partial packing service during which we will pack up your kitchen and closet at no extra charge whatsoever. When you hire us to do a partial packing service, you can choose between purchasing packing supplies from us – or having your own for our packers and movers to use.
Will emergency movers disassemble my furniture?
Yes, most moving companies provide the service of furniture assembly free of charge with their own tools, so they will do just that for you. On the other hand, if you do this by yourself before your movers arrive, you will speed up the entire moving process. It is completely up to you.
What are the chances I will find emergency movers?
There is no way of telling whether you will be able to find emergency movers or not – simply because that depends on a large number of factors. If you are looking for a Wednesday emergency move, you will probably have a lot more luck than trying to do this on a Friday or Saturday. Keep in mind that movers are mostly booked:
- On Fridays, Saturdays and Mondays
- Around the 1st of every month
- Around the 31st of every month
- During the moving season: May-September
Is there anything I need to do to prepare for my emergency movers?
Depending on the level of service you’ve requested, you will need to be packed up for every kind of service other than a full pack service. Standard and labor moving is quite the same, where the only difference is that your movers will not be meeting you on the other end during a labor move. However, that is also something you could potentially arrange and request from your moving company of choice.
