All household goods are important when you’re relocating, whether it’s across country or just across town.  But there are some items that are REALLY important and need extra attention than say… your socks! Maybe it’s a Tiffany lamp or fine china.

It was a long, cold winter in the Chicagoland area, as we at Blackhawk Moving & Storage are sure you are all painfully aware. Thankfully, the sun has returned, the snow has melted, and the days are finally getting longer.

It’s National Moving Month and we at  Blackhawk Moving & Storage would like to celebrate the occasion by giving you the tools needed to avoid getting taken advantage of with your next move.

Moving can be an intense process.  There’s just so much to think about. When are we closing on the house? Where are we moving? How’s the area? How are the schools? Did we switch the bills to the new address?

We all hate it, there’s no denying it. Packing can be time consuming and tedious, but there’s one room, more than any other, that can drive you insane…. The Kitchen! There’s so many breakable, perishable, and larger items that knowing where to start can be the hardest part. Fine China? Mixer?

When moving, sometimes the day of delivery can be more important than the load date.  Picture this, you’re relocating to a new city for a new job. The last thing you want to be worrying about is a 2 week delivery spread for your household goods.

In the moving world, a good rule of thumb is to ALWAYS EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED.  On a recent move, one of our sales representatives encountered this rule first hand, but went above and beyond to accommodate the customer.

Even though the weather may not feel like it just yet, spring time is here. And we all know what that means…. Spring Cleaning!  This year, your favorite Chicagoland moving company has partnered with Working Bikes to help with their Spring Cleaning Bike Donation .

Moving can be a hectic experience for most people, but it can also be really hectic for your favorite four legged friend.  Animals can be very sensitive when it comes to huge changes like moving.

Moving can be a very stressful thing.  There’s so many variables involved in the process.  Whether you’re moving across the country or across the street, there’s always a million things to consider, so it’s really easy to overlook some pretty important stuff.
