Corrigan was not the cheapest quote we received for our cross country move. That being said, the level and quality of customer service I received in the process of getting the quote helped to instill confidence in Corrigans ability to both get the job done and do it right the first time. The individual who came out to do the estimate was a local contracted through Corrigan, but they were still prompt, professional, respectful, asked good questions, and erred on the side of things taking up more space in the truck and weighing more, instead of trying to keep the cost to implausibly low numbers. Their sheet, covering the items in our apartment was the most detailed of the three we received, by far. The individuals who arrived on the pickup day to load the truck were also prompt, professional, respectful, careful with our stuff, and loaded a remarkable number of boxes, and furniture items in a very short period of time. We offered fresh, cold, bottled water and they were appreciative even though thanking us for offering water was hardly required of them. We moved during the first two weeks of July. All three of the companies I called warned me that it was functionally the busiest part of the year for them and that it would take time for the truck to arrive at its destination. Corrigan provided a healthy delivery window (roughly 10 days) and the promise was a guaranteed pick up on the day I chose, and guaranteed delivery within that window. They kept me updated on the progress, including when the original driver fell ill and there was a delay while a replacement was brought in. Ultimately, our things were delivered on the final day of the window. It was frustrating to go without for so long, but I was incredibly grateful that they kept to their promised window, in spite of the busy period and delays along the way. Thanks to the original estimator being conservative, our belongings came in significantly under the estimated weight and we wound up receiving a refund of almost 10% of the total cost. In the end, this brought the cost of moving with Corrigan down below the better estimate which may even have cost more due to under-estimation of weight and volume on their part. Ultimately, I hope to avoid needing to move cross country again. Ever. Should it happen anyway, Corrigan will be the first company I call for an estimate. Do keep in mind, this is not a fast process. It takes time to collect your things, much more time to drive them from point A to point Z (with the 24 other points in between), and all sorts of delays can occur along the way. My experience taught me that picking the people who were straightforward, honest, and professional in their dealings was the better choice than going with the people who told me what they thought I wanted to hear. Final thoughts:If you pick Corrigan, they will take good care of you and your things. Be kind enough to return the favor with your own patience and politeness. Also, always tip your movers. They work incredibly hard and will wind up handling most of your prized possessions in the process of loading or unloading the truck. Theyll do a good job. Treat them well and theyll do an even better one. The peace of mind is worth the tip.

I recently moved from Pennsylvania USA to Germany and I was personally completely unprepared for the homegoods shipping portion. I had a flurry of quotes from many less than reputable companies, and then I found Corrigan. My move coordinator was excellent from the first time I spoke to her. I ended up on a very short time line(less than a week to organize before my plane left) and Corrigan took it without issue. With incredibly little time, they were one of the few companies able to organize a packing service on short notice, work out all of the documentation, and get me going. My shipment was not even that big, and they still treated me like I was a valued customer. The packing company showed up on time, were effecient and careful with my belongings. Then I just hopped on my plane and Corrigan took care of the rest. There was a small hicup in transit of my goods, but Corrigan handled it swiftly and professionally all the while keeping excellent communication lines open with me on updates. I felt like they really treated my personal belongings like they were their own. Corrigan also has skillfully selected their international and domestic partners. In Germany, Hartmann took over the final destination portion and they were just as reliable and good at communicating. Actually, on the delivery day there was an ice storm the night before, and the driver still made it at 8am as promised. One of the most notable things about this experience, was the feeling of confidence I had in Corrigan from the start. There are many sketchy shipping companies out there and I just felt like Corrigan would get it right. It can be pretty scary giving someone all of your important possessions away to strangers if you dont trust them. Overall I was extremely satisfied with Corrigan and their partners tl;dr Pros -Trustworthy -Fast -Good communication -Competetively priced for professional international moving -Billing was straight forward with no hidden fees. Cons -Really, none that I can think of. For me, the experience was only positive.

From start to finish, Corrigan Moving Systems service was top notch. Moving is a huge undertaking especially after years in one place. After 19 years in one residence, I had to move my father across the country 1,500 miles. I needed a third party service for special packing of items, as well. Add to that an additional 450-mile move to a neighboring state at the same time for another relative! Needless to say details can get lost in the shuffle with an order like this but nothing fell through the cracks with Corrigan. Both the relocation specialist (Chris M.) and the moving coordinator (Jessica R.) handled all aspects of the move (and my nerves) expertly. They were very good about maintaining contact via phone and e-mail. When the day came time to pack up, the workers were courteous, swift, asked questions to make sure they understood what was to be shipped where, and they were overall friendly. Also the third party company they worked with was just as professional. The next day was loading day and those men gave my husband and I the same friendly, courteous service with attention to detail. Both drivers were in constant contact so by the time everything was loaded and out of sight, I was reassured that everything was safe. Both deliveries reached their destinations in a timely manner. There were two destinations, in fact, for the 1,500-mile move: the first a retirement community apartment and the second, a storage facility where they unloaded into 2 units. There has been only one thing discovered broken so far (not beyond repair) that could have been packed better but despite that I would definitely recommend Corrigan. Theyve proven to me they can handle multiple moves across multiple states at the same time as well as handle any issues that crop up before, during and after in a timely manner. Great job!

I think that I made one of the best decisions of my life when I hired Corrigan - United to move us from TX to Chicago IL! I spent hours and hours pouring over online reviews in search of the perfect moving company. I am so happy that my work paid off! We have moved 20 times in 30 years and I have to say that this was the best move we have ever had! From the beginning to the end everyone that I spoke to was so helpful and courteous - Chris, Jessica and Robert Graham! I dont know how I got so lucky to have Robert as a driver, but I have to tell you he was the best. After reading all the online reviews, I was pretty insistent with Jessica our move coordinator that they assign me a Corrigan driver. I got my wish! Robert doesnt play around when it comes to moving. He runs a very tight ship, and expects excellence from his crew. Robert has very high standards and expects everyone to live up to them - even the homeowners! This is the first time that I have left movers on their own. After spending a couple of hours getting to know Robert and seeing his professionalism, we were comfortable enough to leave. We had a pretty complicated move - contents at our home and the contents from a large storage unit. Robert made the entire process effortless. Thank you Robert and Luke and Jonathan! I will be calling you again for our next move. Also, wanted to say thank you to the Armstrong - United packing team - Jenny, Diane, Alex and the Warehouse Manager - Jesse? Wonderful packing team!
