OUR SERVICES

Chicago to Phoenix Moving Services

Every Chicago to Phoenix move is built around the shipment, service level, and destination. Some customers only need transportation for a packed apartment, while others need full packing, storage, crating, or help moving a larger household or office.

Poseidon Moving offers Dedicated Truck Service for customers who want exclusive transportation and tighter scheduling, and Truck Share Service for customers with flexible dates who want a more economical option. Additional services include full and partial packing, furniture protection, custom crating, loading, unloading, commercial moving, and secure storage when your Arizona home or business is not ready for delivery.

COST COMPARISON

Chicago vs. Phoenix: Cost of Living Comparison

Chicago and Phoenix are both major metro areas, but the cost differences are not one-sided. Phoenix home prices are often higher, while Chicago can be more expensive for rent, property taxes, and state income tax. Illinois has a flat 4.95% individual income tax rate, while Arizona uses a flat 2.5% individual income tax rate.

Phoenix is not cheaper in every category. Home prices can be higher than Chicago, and summer electricity costs can increase utility bills. The main financial difference is usually taxes: Arizona’s state income tax rate is lower than Illinois’, and Phoenix-area property taxes are typically far lower than Chicago-area property taxes. That difference can matter significantly for homeowners moving from Illinois to Arizona.

PRICING

How Much Does It Cost to Move from Chicago to Phoenix?

The cost of relocating from Illinois to Arizona depends on shipment size, service level, pickup access, delivery access, and whether packing or storage is added. A downtown Chicago apartment, a suburban single-family home, and a commercial office will each price differently because the labor and shipment size are different.

Try our moving cost calculator for an instant ballpark, then Poseidon Moving provides a binding flat-rate estimate based on your move details, so your cost is established before moving day.

Yes. At Poseidon Moving, protecting your furniture is one of our highest priorities.

Every piece is carefully prepared before it’s moved. Our crews use heavy duty moving blankets, stretch wrap, floor protection, and proven loading techniques to help prevent scratches, dents, and shifting during transport.

If you have antiques, artwork, glass, marble, or other high-value items, we can recommend additional protection options such as custom crating or White Glove service.

Yes. For safety reasons, we cannot transport hazardous materials or certain restricted items. These are commonly referred to as “non-allowable items.”

This includes:

  • Propane tanks, gasoline, kerosene, and lighter fluid
  • Paint, aerosols, household cleaners, and other hazardous chemicals
  • Fireworks, ammunition, matches, and charcoal
  • Living things, including plants, fish, and pets

We recommend transporting these items yourself, using them before your move, or disposing of them safely according to local regulations.

Not sure about a specific item? Just ask your Move Coordinator before moving day, and we’ll be happy to let you know if it can be transported.

Yes. We can remove and reinstall many wall-mounted items as part of your move.

Our crews can typically dismount and reinstall:

  • Mounted TVs
  • Artwork and mirrors
  • Shelving
  • Window air conditioners

Some installations may require additional hardware, specialized tools, or extra time, so these services may incur an additional charge.

If you know you’ll need help with wall-mounted items, let your Move Coordinator know before moving day so we can arrive fully prepared.

Every move is unique, so the most accurate pricing starts with a personalized estimate.

  • Local Moves – Pricing depends on the size of your move, the time required, travel time, and any additional services such as packing, storage, or specialty handling. Based on your move, we’ll recommend either hourly or flat-rate pricing.
  • Long-Distance Moves – We provide binding estimates based on your inventory, the distance, logistics, and any additional services you request.

Yes. Every Poseidon Moving truck arrives fully stocked with the supplies and equipment your move may need.

  • Heavy-duty moving pads, stretch wrap, and tape
  • Dollies, hand trucks, straps, and floor protection
  • Basic tools for disassembly and reassembly

If you’re not fully packed by moving day, let us know before your move date and we’ll make sure the crew brings the packing supplies you need – boxes, dish packs, wardrobe boxes, bubble wrap, mirror boxes, and TV boxes.
