Happ Movers

Best move ever. From the moment I called to find out prices and set up a date, I felt like I had made the right choice. This is a family business and you definitely get the feeling that you are a valued customer. Their entire staff is professional, very friendly and straight forward. They clearly explained their pricing, they charge a rate per hour (rate depends on the number of movers you hire). The hourly rate starts from the time they leave their office in Glenview and ends when they return back to their office. That is it. There are absolutely no hidden fees. During the actual move, the guys were quick, efficient and very careful. In the past, we’ve sometimes had a random group of inexperienced guys handling our things, but these movers were top notch professionals. They worked quickly and carefully. We will never use another moving company!

I contacted Happ movers to simply bring a large new double vanity to an upstairs bathroom. We didn’t feel comfortable dragging the extremely heavy vanity up our curved staircase. To make matters worse, to get it into the bathroom would require that the vanity be stood up on end to get it through the bathroom door. They quoted me a price of $ 125 with no travel fee since we live in Glenview. Unfortunately they were so busy, I couldn’t get a guaranteed time slot until the following week. Sharing the only remaining bathroom in house with our two kids made me very sad that it would be another week that we couldn’t use this bathroom. I was honest with Dave (the man on phone at Happ) and said I needed to call around to see if I could get a sooner date. He understood. Twenty minutes later and 4 calls to different movers I was appalled. Other movers claimed to be located in my city and were not. They were charging a $ 65-​$ 75 travel fee, they wanted 1 – 2 hour minimums at a much higher rate than Happ and simply were not as professional as Dave. When I explained to to the others that this was simple as moving one vanity up a staircase, they could care less! I called Dave back and solidified next week’s delivery and established a «we might be able to squeeze you in earlier» discussion. 24 hours later Dave fit us in. It truly took the crew 10 minutes. You can tell they were pro’s at this, as the two of them communicated every move and step to each other. When my husband went to pay them, they LOWERED the price… yes Lowered the price to $ 87 because it was so short a job!!! WHO LOWERS THE PRICE? Happ did! I write this 5 star review because he squeezed us in when he didn’t have to, They decreased price which is insanely generous, and they did all this professionally with my home and vanity free of a single mar or scratch! If you need a mover and look elsewhere, you’re silly. I really am never moving but will recommend them to every person I ever meet! Thanks Happ! Thanks Dave, you ROCK!!!

Efficient. Thorough. Thoughtful. Organized. Experienced. Friendly. Fun.
Any questions?

A great moving company. Extremely professional. Very punctual. The guys could not have been nicer. Really a very positive experience. I highly recommend Happ Movers.

Happ Movers is THE BEST moving company. In a very chaotic same-​day sale/​buy, they were the easiest part of the whole moving process. This is our third time using Happ and they were professional, as always. From the moment I called to schedule the move to the final box being put in the new house, the process was seamless. They arrived on time, I met each member of the 6 man crew who were all pleasant and professional. We walked my house to go over everything that was going and then they got down to business. Even in periods of torrential downpour, they used the time efficiently by moving everything from our basement to the main floor so that it could be ready to get into the truck as soon as the rain subsided. Their professionalism continued at the new house where each crew member immediately took note of the layout of the house and took care to put each piece of furniture in its place, making sure I was happy where each item was being placed. I would highly recommend using them to anyone looking for a top-​notch, reliable, honest, reasonable moving company. They are fantastic.

The bestest of movers. The men arrived on time. Were very professional and polite. Took great care with my belongings. Unpacked at my new location. Put the furniture exactly where I asked. Price was under estimate. I would highly recommend Happ Movers to anybody who is moving. Moving is stressful no doubt about it, but Happ Movers made the move much less stressful. And they took the greatest of care packing my pictures. Have them pack your kitchen, they were fantastic at that also.

Wish there was a choice for zero stars. Don’t be fooled by inflated reviews.
Stay away from this company. What you can expect if you hire them;
1. Overcharged
2. Damaged furniture
3. Drive on your lawn when the driveway is 10 feet away.
4. Take a lunch break and add that to the move time
5. When you call and complain be told it’s your fault for not buying insurance from them.
6. You will be treated with contempt if you dare to complain

I have moved quite a bit in the past and have had a few really bad moves… so I do a lot of research before I move. I have heard that Happ was good… but that doesn’t always mean anything… I then looked them up through Angie’s List and they got great reviews. And I also looked them up using the Better Business Bureau — although they are not officially accredited with the BBB, they did get an A+…this means a lot when choosing a service to use.
I called to make the appointment a couple weeks ago, the owner answered the phone… he told me which day they were available and the time. I only called once to confirm (only because of a bad experience from the past)…Three very nice guys showed up 20 minutes early and respectfully introduced themselves… they surveyed my apartment before they did anything. I mainly had furniture, but they made sure to wrap everything before taking it into the truck. They made sure they asked me where things should be placed when they moved the furniture into my new place… I actually asked them to help rearrange once everything was in since I can’t lift furniture… and they happily assisted. The lead guy also helped made sure all the furniture was put together which is really nice… All of them three guys were super nice, but the lead driver was very pleasant to work with and was super helpful. I would highly recommend Happ Movers to everyone!

Happ has once again moved us. I cannot tell you how professional and FAST they are.
Mike and his crew are very impressive. I highly recommend them!

Very personal, accommodating and cooperative. When they forgot something they made a second trip and returned with the patio table they forgot.

three separate moves as we got one house ready to sell, then sold it, then later moved to the new house. Complicated and changing set of circumstances, these guys were patient, pleasant and professional throughout it all. No damages to anything, ON TIME every time, real pros and real gentlemen. Nothing but good things to say, would recommend them wholeheartedly to anyone.

The extra charge to drive to and from their office is inflated. Plus I asked them not to come early because they wouldn’t be able to get into driveway, so I had to pay for them to wait. I figured I paid for at least an extra half hour to an hour. I had a bed and two nightstands moved to another place 45 minutes away. It cost $ 378 plus $ 40 tip. They could be more accurate on their times because every minute costs the customer. The movers themselves did a great job though. No complaints there.

On time service. Professional movers. They were very careful with the furniture and walls. Rate is a bit high but that why the service is good!

Great movers. Had 3 movers and they showed up on time and got to work right away. They were friendly, polite and professional. Everything that was moved made it without a scratch. Since I am a renter I was concerned about damaging the landlord’s property, but they had everything protected. Even removed the door to make sure everything came out without damage and then put the door back on.

I have moved an elderly relative with tons of large, antique furniture, three times in four years. And, additionally, there have been a number of mini-​moves for her: a piano to a relative, a chest of drawers to a niece, etc.
Happ is THE BEST moving service. Hard working, polite, considerate, good natured, not hassling or pressing for tips (although I always tip them, bc they deserve it) and CAREFUL and caring.
Now, I am doing a BIG move for myself and my family (after 15 years in one home), and I would not call anyone else. I’ll post an update, but I won’t even consider quoting this out with another moving company. They are THAT much better than anyone else I’ve used.

Three guys, three hours, never stopped moving; arrived on schedule and completed the loading and unloading perfectly, including sleeper sofa and trundle bed from second floor.
The experience couldn’t have been better.

This is my fourth move in three years so I have a pretty good idea what makes a successful move. We had our first local move and decided to ask around. Happ Movers came up twice so we decided to go with them. From the moment, I called to find out prices and set up a date, I felt like I had made the right choice. This is a family business and you definitely get the feeling that you are not just a number. Their entire staff is professional, easy going and straight forward. They clearly explained their pricing, they charge a rate per hour (rate depends on the number of movers you hire). The hourly rate starts from the time when they leave their headquarters and ends when they return back to their office. That is it. There are absolutely no hidden fees.
Now, when it came to the actual move, the guys were quick and efficient. Also, sometimes when you move you can get an eclectic group of guys handling your stuff, but these movers were top notch professionals. I have to say it again — they were incredibly fast! Don’t hesitate to use Happ movers for your next move. They have been in business for such a long time for a reason!

It all sounded wonderful. We wanted to move 5 things 1 mile east of where we were and it was going to be 260. At least that’s what we were told. And it was 260, plus 200 dollars for «transportation fees» Basically we paid 200 extra dollars for them to drive to our apartment and back to their offices.
Now, they talk about this fee on their website, but they quoted us 260, we figured that was included in the quote. How can someone get away with this? How are you supposed to budget accordingly? These guys are shady. Be wary.

These are the best movers by far! Whether you are moving a piano, an apartment, or your whole house. They came highly recommended from some friends and we have told everyone we know who is moving about Happs. They have the best prices, but do not give cheap service! From the person who answers the phone, to the one who does the estimates, to the movers themselves — true professionals with the customers’ satisfaction as #1. If you have a problem with something, they will see it through until you are satisfied. Call them and see how they stack up against some of the «big guys» You’ll be glad you did!
