Sources, method and corrections

Last updated .

Every price range and rule on this site names where it came from and the day we read it. This page lists those sources, explains how we gather Chicago moving prices, and tells you how to report an error. It applies to the Chicago apartment moving guide and to the disclosure.

Rules we write by

  • Every cost figure carries its source and the date we read it. We publish no figure of our own until our quote log holds at least twelve dated Chicago estimates for that apartment size; until then the site shows published ranges from named sources and says so.
  • Regulatory statements (licensing, parking permits, parking bans, tenant law, call recording) name the authority. Where we could not confirm the current text on the authority's own site, they carry a "verify" mark.
  • No invented people. There is no named reviewer on this site yet. When a licensed mover or a Chicago property manager reviews a section, their name appears on it and nowhere else.
  • The last-reviewed date changes only when the content changes.

Common questions about our sourcing

Why does the site publish other people's price ranges instead of its own?

Because a price we have not gathered is a guess. Our rule is at least twelve dated Chicago estimates for a given apartment size before we publish a figure as ours. Until then we show what named Chicago movers and cost publishers have printed, with each page's date.

What does the "verify" mark mean?

That we could not confirm the current wording on the authority's own website, usually because the page is a PDF, a portal or blocked our request. Confirm it with the authority named before you rely on it.

Why is there no named reviewer?

Because we have not recruited one. A byline from a licensed mover or property manager appears only when a real person has reviewed the section.
