Booking Poseidon Moving services couldn't have been easier and the attention given couldn't have been topped. Oleg was a great communicator and we got plenty of emailed information on what to expect moving day and how to best prepare for it. On moving day, communication with the moving crew was clear and concise. The moving team was careful with our belongings and efficient moving things out and into our new place. Couldn't recommend them highly enough.

Everything about using Poseidon was great! Professional and fast service, and everything arrived in perfect condition right on time. The price and delivery window for my cross country move was by far the most ideal.

Poseidon just moved my furniture from Boston to San Francisco, and they did an amazing job. They took great care packing my furniture with padding and blankets, and everything arrived in perfect condition. They stuck to their pick-up and delivery dates, and the upfront pricing was spot on—no surprise charges. The whole experience far exceeded my expectations. Highly recommend!

They really have a very nice team. I have used their services not once but twice. First time within Massachusetts and Second time Massachusetts to New Jersey. They are a thouroughly professional team at affordable price. We can rely on them and they are flexible enough with our travel plans. I opted for full packing, they patiently listened and attended to each of household items with care. I can recommend them to any. They ease your tensions and get things done one time. I am always grateful to this team

Frequently Asked Questions

View all

The cost of a long-distance move from Chicago depends on factors like distance, home size, and additional services (packing, storage, etc.). On average:

  • Small moves (studio/1-bedroom, 500-800 miles): $1,500 – $3,500
  • Medium moves (2-3 bedrooms, 800-1,500 miles): $3,500 – $6,000
  • Large moves (4+ bedrooms, cross-country): $6,000 – $10,000+

The best way to get an accurate price is to request a binding flat-rate quote from a licensed long-distance moving company like Poseidon Moving to ensure no hidden fees.

Several factors determine the cost of a long-distance move to or from Chicago, including:

  • Distance of the move (the farther you go, the higher the cost).
  • Size and weight of inventory (more items = higher costs).
  • Packing services (optional but adds protection for fragile items).
  • Storage needs (if you require short-term or long-term storage).
  • Time of year (summer is peak season and often more expensive).
  • Additional fees (such as stair charges, special handling for pianos, or expedited delivery).

A professional moving company like Poseidon Moving provides flat-rate pricing to ensure full transparency.

To protect your belongings during a long-distance move from Chicago, follow these tips:

  • Use professional packing services to prevent damage.
  • Label fragile items clearly and inform movers about them.
  • Use high-quality packing materials (sturdy boxes, bubble wrap, furniture blankets).
  • Opt for full-value protection coverage (higher protection than basic insurance).
  • Hire experienced long-distance movers who specialize in careful handling and transportation.

At Poseidon Moving, we use specialized packing techniques, crating for fragile items, and GPS-tracked moving trucks for added security.

Yes, certain Chicago neighborhoods require moving permits to reserve parking for moving trucks.

  • Moving truck permits in Chicago: Cost around $25 per truck per day and should be obtained at least 3 days in advance through the City of Chicago website.
  • Building requirements: Some high-rise apartments and condos require elevator reservations or moving time restrictions.
  • State-to-state moving regulations: Federal law requires movers to be licensed and insured for interstate moves—always verify the USDOT number of the moving company.

Poseidon Moving assists with permits, scheduling, and compliance to ensure a smooth transition.

The best time for a long-distance move to or from Chicago depends on your flexibility and budget:

  • Best time for lower prices: Fall & winter (September – February) tend to have lower moving rates and better availability.
  • Best time for ideal weather: Spring & early summer (March – June) offer mild weather conditions, making moving easier.
  • Peak moving season (higher prices & demand): Late June – August is the busiest period, so booking 6-8 weeks in advance is recommended.

For the best rates and availability, Poseidon Moving recommends booking your long-distance move early, especially if you’re moving in peak season.
