Review the two ends of your move
| Location | Access to review |
|---|---|
| Illinois pickup | Our Chicago operation supports Illinois interstate pickups. For a high-rise, provide loading dock and freight elevator windows; for a suburban house, include garage, basement, and outdoor furniture in the inventory. |
| Texas delivery | Texas destinations can involve very different delivery routes. Use the actual destination ZIP code rather than the nearest major city, and tell us about gated-community access, apartment loading areas, or a new-construction address that may be hard to locate. |
