What a move with Alexander Movers Inc should cost
Not Alexander Movers Inc's rates: what the published model says a comparable move from Chicago costs, to judge a written estimate against.
Local moves in Chicago: billed by the hour
A two-bedroom move in Chicago: 2 movers × 5–7 hours × $40–$50 an hour, plus $75 travel, is $475 – $775.
| Home | Crew | Hours | Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio | 2 | 2–3 | $235 – $375 |
| 1 bedroom | 2 | 3–5 | $315 – $575 |
| 2 bedrooms | 2 | 5–7 | $475 – $775 |
| 3 bedrooms | 3 | 6–9 | $795 – $1,425 |
| 4 bedrooms | 4 | 8–10 | $1,355 – $2,075 |
| 5+ bedrooms | 4 | 10–12 | $1,675 – $2,475 |
Hourly rates are scaled to Illinois: hand movers there earn a median $19.50 an hour against $19.35 nationally (BLS, May 2025), so the model's national $40–$50 band becomes $40–$50 per mover per hour.

Before you book Alexander Movers Inc
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC80397
Alexander Movers Inc can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC80397. If the written estimate names a van line or another carrier, that company is the one legally responsible for your goods, so check its number too.
- 2
Ask for Chicago references
With no roadside inspection on file for the last 24 months, the federal record says nothing about Alexander Movers Inc's trucks either way. Two recent customers in or near Chicago you can call will tell you more than the register can.
- 3
Check the truck fits your home
No Alexander Movers Inc driver holds a CDL, so its trucks are rated 26,000 lb or less. For a three- or four-bedroom home, ask how many trucks or trips the estimate assumes; on an hourly job a second trip is paid time.
- 4
Judge the estimate against $475 – $775
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Chicago at $475 – $775 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $3,749 – $4,998. A surveyed, written estimate from Alexander Movers Inc far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
