Top Quality "Exclusive Ship" Long Distance Moving Services in Chicago
Burrows Moving Company, one of many local and long distance moving companies in Chicago has elected to offer only Exclusive Ship long distance moving services. Exclusive Shipping means that no other customer's goods are put on the truck with yours and no extra stops are made because the same highly-skilled movers who load your goods will drive them directly to the destination and unload them.
Our long-distance moving customers choose Burrows to be their long distance mover in Chicago primarily because they desire our top-quality moving service that can only be attained with Exclusive Ship and / or because they need rapid shipment of their goods. We provide a crew of highly trained, experienced mover / drivers who load a customer’s goods onto our truck and immediately depart directly for the destination. They drive up to 12 hours per day to arrive anywhere within the 48 states in one to four days. Then they unload and drive back empty handed.
The drawback to exclusive shipping is that the price is higher than the price of a shipper who consolidates. When shipments are consolidated each customer's goods on board the truck share in the driving costs. Sometimes our price is twice as much as a consolidators price because you pay for the round trip whereas with a consolidator you only pay for one way driving to the destination.
For people who have fine, expensive furnishings and / or those who need very fast shipment it would be worth the higher cost to either avoid the extra potential for damages and for lost / misplaced / stolen goods that is inherent to the consolidated shipping process or to expedite the shipment.
Economical Consolidated Moving Services
Consolidated moving can be the most economical way to do long-distance moving because more than one customer’s goods are put on a truck and they share the cost of the driving. This option involves a longer delivery period (sometimes up to thirty days). So, if a customer needs expedited service then this is not the way to go. If the customer feels that they can tolerate a long delivery period then they should be aware that their household goods might be overexposed to extreme heat or extreme cold while on the truck for long periods of time.
When shipments are consolidated a number of further drawbacks can occur. Occasionally delivery mix-ups happen and goods can be sent to the wrong place or they can even be permanently lost! Your furnishings may be transferred between multiple warehouses and multiple trucks and handled by a number of people who are not aware of any eccentricities specific to your goods. This multiple handling greatly increases the chance of damages or theft. With our exclusive shipping services goods are put on the truck once and they are only handled again when they are taken off the truck to be delivered to your destination.
