Experienced and Efficient International Moving
With decades of service in the moving industry, Pickens-Kane International is the most experienced Chicago international mover.

The safety of your items is our number one priority, and we offer Zero-Deductible Replacement Value Transit Protection to cover your goods while in our care. In the event that a claim arises, you don't have to deal with the hassle of a third-party insurance provider.
