Meet the Team Behind Once Upon a Move
Once Upon a Move was built on a straightforward belief: moving should feel manageable, not overwhelming. As a small, owner-operated company, we focus on treating every client like a person, not a job number.
About Us | Personal Moving Experience & Core Values
From One Man to a Reputable Residential Moving Company
Alex started Once Upon a Move to do things differently in an industry that had gotten too big and too impersonal. He’s been working in moving for over 12 years, starting right out of high school – first with furniture, then building the experience and reputation that the company runs on today. He was the first in his family to start a business, and that matters to how he runs it: with accountability, hard work, and a level of care that a larger company can’t replicate.
Every move is handled with that same standard. You’re not getting a rotating crew of strangers. You’re getting people who take the job seriously because the owner does.
Our Core Values: The Once Upon a Move Promise
Our reputation as a dependable Chicago moving company is built on three things. We aim to be the most trustworthy partner you hire.
The “Mission-Driven” Approach
Our Core Commitment
Quality is at the heart of everything we do. Our leadership ensures that every step of the moving process is handled with precision, delivering real value and peace of mind to you. From the initial consultation to the final placement of your belongings, we focus on providing a smooth, stress-free experience that puts your satisfaction above everything else.
Trust, Transparency, and Value
Our Core Moving Solutions
Honest Communication
Clear, upfront communication from the first call through the last box placed. No runaround, no vague answers.
Reputation Matters
A successful move ends with a client who’d call us again and refer us to a friend. That’s the standard we hold every job to.
Personal Moving Experience
Every client gets the same level of attention regardless of move size. You’re not an afterthought on a busy day.
