    Moving a busy household with kids and pets is an absolute logistical nightmare, but American Van Lines turned it into a completely smooth experience. From the initial booking, the coordination team was incredibly empathetic and helped us structure a schedule that worked perfectly for our family. On moving day, the packing crew arrived right on time with a fantastic, positive attitude. They were extremely polite, worked around the chaos of our household and treated our belongings with absolute care. They took extra time to securely wrap our family heirlooms and fragile items, ensuring everything was protected for the journey. When the truck arrived at our new home, the delivery crew was just as efficient, safely placing boxes in their designated rooms and assembling all of our heavy furniture perfectly. Their transparent pricing and stellar customer service gave us complete peace of mind. We highly recommend them!

      I cannot praise American Van Lines enough for how perfectly they managed my recent move out of a high-rise condo building. Moving out of an apartment with strict elevator time slots, narrow hallways and limited loading zone parking can be a complete nightmare, but this crew handled it like seasoned pros. They were extremely careful not to bump walls, scuff floors or damage the building's property which saved me from any building penalty fees. They packed the truck tightly and securely, wrapping every piece of furniture securely in heavy quilted blankets. The entire shipment arrived at my destination exactly within the promised delivery window and the crew unloaded everything safely with the same high level of energy and care. Their customer service was outstanding, the price was exactly as quoted and the movers were courteous and hard-working. Five stars all the way!

They double-wrapped my electronics and fragile items and everything arrived at my new home completely intact and scratch-free. Their transparent, upfront pricing meant there were no unpleasant surprises or hidden fees at the end of the day. I am deeply grateful for their professionalism and highly recommend their excellent moving services to anyone.

      The reviews for American Van Lines were good, and when I first communicated with them, they sounded very personable. The rep was very proactive and listened to my needs. He worked very diligently, trying to move the schedule around when there wasn't enough space on the truck and they were going to have to get a second truck. I was trying to get everything coordinated in a very fast method because we had to get out of the house for the closing, and I ended up going with another company that I wasn't as impressed with. I had to make a move. But it wasn't against American Van Lines. He even called me back to let me know he was able to get a truck, and he deserves good kudos because he really tried.

      I was very impressed because the wrapping was unbelievable. After going through everything, I have not found a single item broken. The price was very fair for the distance of the move and the work they did. They came in, took over, and did everything we asked them to do. It was a four-and-a-half-hour drive easily. They had to move our furniture from the house and then put it into storage. But they were on time. They were there when they told us they'd be there and always stayed in touch with me. They let me know exactly where they were, what they were doing and called in advance. So, I'm tickled about that. People should use them because that would be the smartest decision they would make that day.

      American Van Lines is a moving broker; they don't own any moving vehicles. I contracted American Van Lines, and a subcontractor showed up in a U-Haul rental truck. When they did, they jumped the initial estimate of $14,00 to over $30,000 and said if I didn't pay I would lose my $10,00 deposit (I should have lost the deposit. It still would have been cheaper). When I finally got delivery, it was on three different days, three weeks apart. They stole nine high-end watches out of the original boxes but left the boxes. On top of that, I was missing a huge number of items, including kitchen chairs. NEVER USE THIS COMPANY!!!!

      American Van Lines is dishonest, and blatantly lies to their customers while going through an incredibly stressful life event. I strongly recommend reading all negative reviews before considering taking a chance with American Van Lines. You don’t want to end up being someone that leaves another negative review.

      When booking this company, we were told we’d have our stuff delivered in 2 weeks, which was important since our wedding was at the end of the 3 week moving window and they were made aware of this. We placed AirTags in our moving boxes and watched helplessly as the truck drove up to Seattle from San Diego before driving cross-country towards Florida. We tried contacting our moving coordinator multiple times as we had things on the moving truck we needed for our wedding. We found out our designated moving coordinator was out on vacation. We spoke to someone else who told us we would be getting our stuff delivered on the very last possible day within the 3-week window (after our wedding), and there was nothing that could be done.

      The days following our wedding, we watched as the moving truck passed our location, and traveled down to Southern Florida to make several deliveries before parking in a truck stop located 2 hours away from our apartment. The truck sat in the same location for 3 days. We again reached out to the moving company to request an update, and were notified that, because it was a holiday, we could not get any updates, and that unbeknownst to us, our moving coordinator had changed.

      We called the following morning, since we never received a phone call from the driver, and sat on hold for almost 2 hours without speaking to anyone. We called the emergency line, and our new coordinator informed us that the driver was having a family emergency, and therefore we would not be getting our belongings delivered until the following day.

      How a national company that coordinates cross-country moves could not provide an alternate driver or solution is incomprehensible. During this conversation, it was divulged that they utilize subcontractors as our coordinator tried explaining there are many moving parts to a cross-country move. Based on many other reviews, this has been other people’s experience as well. Since we had just had our wedding, you can imagine how the lack of communication and perpetual delays in our delivery negatively affected our honeymoon that had been planned for over a year. Later the same day, the driver called to let us know that our stuff would indeed be delivered the following day, and that he was home and well with his family, enjoying an extra-long weekend since he ended up taking the Tuesday off as well instead of delivering our belongings.

      Additionally, we were told the apartment complex we moved out of should accommodate the moving truck based on aerial views of the complex. The truck was massive and clearly couldn’t even turn into the complex. This resulted in an additional $1500 fee for a “transfer truck”. We’ve moved multiple times to different states, including cross-country, and this is by far the worst and most stressful moving experience we’ve ever had.

      Choosing American Van Lines was the best decision I made for my recent relocation. I was moving a large, fully furnished four-bedroom house and I was terrified of items getting damaged or lost. Fortunately, the crew that handled my move was top-notch. They were punctual, incredibly organized and treated my home and belongings with the utmost respect. They used extensive protective padding on the doorways and floors, ensuring the house was left spotless. The inventory tracking system they utilized gave me total confidence that everything was accounted for. When the shipment arrived at my destination, the delivery was flawless and the team reassembled my heavy bedroom sets perfectly.

      We used American Van Lines for a complicated out-of-state move that required our household belongings to be held in temporary storage for three weeks between closing dates. Dealing with their Greensboro regional office was an absolute pleasure. The coordinator broke down their monthly storage rates upfront with total clarity, so we encountered zero surprise fees. When the crew arrived to pack our things, they meticulously inventoried every box and piece of furniture, wrapping our leather sofas and mattresses in heavy protective layers. Knowing our items were stored in a climate-controlled, secure facility gave us complete peace of mind. Delivery was flawlessly coordinated and the final unloading crew worked efficiently without scratching walls or denting a single item. I couldn't ask for better accountability or service!

      If I could give them a negative score I would. The associate that we talked to to get the move started misled us on the services that were provided like the disassembly and packing of our treadmill. 500$ to remove 12 screws and then not pack/crate it. 11 hours to load our house, the van left at 3am after they showed up at 4pm among other things.

      The worst however, was the delivery date. We needed it delivered on august 31 and had to pay a holdover fee since they wanted to deliver on august 28. We closed on our house on the 31. Now it is September 1, the first delay on delivery, no truck and the company is telling us it won’t be delivered until September 4th. We have an empty house with nowhere to sleep, sit or anything. Getting in touch with them has been a chore and get conflicting information. I will never consider them or recommend them to anyone and recommend to not use them.

      The absolute worst most incompetent company I have ever worked with. I hired this moving company based on their initial quote and clear commitments — a fair price, reliable timing, and specific services. What I experienced was the opposite. They tried to charge me double the originally quoted price, then demanded an additional $1,000 at delivery. There was zero advance communication about the price changes, no explanation or documentation, and they failed to deliver on the services they promised at the start. Phone calls and messages went unanswered or were ignored. I literally was called 10 minutes before the proposed delivery to inform us of the extra charge and delivery still not on schedule.

      I do not recommend this company. If you decide to use them, even if you get everything written and signed, they will still insist on a charging you more on a new invoice on moving day, be prepared for surprise charges and poor communication. Moving is already hard this just makes it worse. On top of that I only received a call after my Google review and I still received no response or resolution and they never followed through on the promises made.

The packing service they offered was worth every penny—their crew wrapped our fragile antiques, mirrors and electronic equipment with top-tier materials. The drivers kept us updated regularly during the transit, giving us complete peace of mind. Everything arrived in perfect condition and the movers worked hard to place each item right where we wanted it. I highly recommend them for an organized and reliable move.

      I hired American Van Lines for a cross-country move and they did an incredible job from start to finish. The booking process was straightforward and their team gave me a clear, accurate estimate with no hidden surprises. On moving day,the crew was professional,polite and handled my bulky furniture and fragile packing boxes with extreme care. Everything arrived safely at my new home on schedule. Moving long-distance is stressful, but their communication and execution made it incredibly smooth!

      Overall, the delivery process was convenient because the items arrived when I expected them. Reliability is particularly important when customers are depending on an order for a specific purpose. Since there was no unexpected delay, I felt that the delivery process was well managed and dependable. The experience was straightforward from beginning to end.

      The packaging and handling appeared to be very careful, and the entire process felt organized and professional. It is reassuring to know that a company can keep its delivery commitments while also making sure the items arrive in excellent condition. This was a very positive experience overall.

      TOTAL SCAM! I would NOT recommend using American Van Lines for anything. They took over 24 days to deliver my furniture. My furniture sat in my old city for 19 days before they began to truck it. When they delivered my furniture, they demanded more money. The driver said, “Well, either pay me more money or I will not take it off the truck!” So I was forced to pay $450 more! Then they damaged my door knobs and broke them off my doors moving in. They refused to reassemble any of the furniture they disassembled when I moved. Lastly, they left all their trash after moving in. AMERICAN VAN LINES IS THE WORST COMPANY!

      Worst moving experience of our lives. American Van Lines rescheduled us three times within two weeks and made us extend our lease over and over. On the final day of that lease—less than 12 hours before the scheduled pickup—they canceled on us for the fourth time with basically zero notice. Communication was terrible. It was almost impossible to reach anyone, and when we did get through they admitted our representative had been on a four-hour lunch. Talking to other agents didn’t help either; nobody would give us straight answers. Because of their total failure we’re now at risk of being homeless, and our stuff was left sitting outside where it got destroyed. We’re out thousands in damages. Avoid this company at all costs.

      Please avoid this company. I had a very disappointing experience with my move. I paid in full for their full-service package, but after more than a month of repeated requests, I still have not received a payment receipt. The movers also arrived late for the pickup, which disrupted our moving schedule and caused significant inconvenience. After delivery, they failed to fully assemble my furniture and left the house in a mess before leaving. Overall, the service was unprofessional and fell far short of what I paid for. I am extremely dissatisfied with the service I received and regret choosing this company.

      American Van Lines' sales department was very good. However, they subcontract the move out, and that's when it falls apart. We had to move from my daughter down from New Jersey to South Carolina. It was well run. The guys were good. Everything was on time. They called. We decided to move some of my stuff from New Jersey to South Carolina, and they were eight days late and didn't know where the shipment was. Nobody returned phone calls from American Van Lines or the people. There's a disconnect. They promised to call me back Saturday. Said, “I'm the dispatcher. Call you back Saturday.” Monday, I had to call the salesperson, who then tried to do this. The second part of the delivery was scheduled for last Sunday. They said Saturday, Sunday, then Monday. Didn't come until Tuesday at 7 o'clock. They couldn't start, so they had to come the next morning. Other than that, the crew was good. I tipped them a lot.

      Update: Customer service helped resolve my issue

      This was the worst moving experience we’ve ever had. We hired American Van Lines to move our household from Washington to Alabama because we trusted them to safely transport our belongings. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing from beginning to end. Our pickup occurred later than originally scheduled, and our belongings were delivered well after the contractual delivery window. Throughout the process, communication was poor. We were repeatedly given delivery dates that changed, promised callbacks that never happened, and often had to contact the company ourselves just to get updates.

      When our shipment finally arrived, the condition of our belongings was unacceptable. We found broken furniture, broken plastic storage totes, damaged boxes, and other damaged household items. Even more concerning, multiple boxes and household items contained mouse droppings and urine. We also found loose pasta shells inside boxes that we packed ourselves (we did not pack pasta), which should never have been there. One plastic tote had a shoe print on the lid, and tape that had been placed on our safe at pickup was missing upon delivery. After paying more than $11,000 for this move, we expected our belongings to be handled with care and stored in clean, secure conditions. That was not our experience. I cannot recommend American Van Lines based on the service we received.

      My initial call to this company was very positive, their sales team is on top of their game. The next point of contact was calling me obsessively regarding my list of items that I needed to finalize. Once I finalize my items and of course, had to pay more money because something changed, I did not hear back from the company. They did not tell me what my delivery day was. They didn’t tell me the correct time the delivery was coming. Once the movers got to my house, they seem to handle everything with care. I had a kiln that needed to be moved and the movers seemed like they’ve never seen anything like it. I’m sure this is not something typical that they would have to move, but I explained to them that they needed to be careful.

      My kiln is a $4000 unit, and that was the main thing that was damaged in the move. They did not secure the kiln, they broke my Fire Bricks on the bottom of the walls and to make matters worse they were physically standing with their shoes on the base of the kiln on my Fire brick. I could see their sneaker marks on it. When the drivers arrived at my house, again, nobody called me to tell me when they were arriving. I had to make every phone call into the company, which was very difficult to even get somebody on the phone before I knew what was going on. As soon as the drivers arrived before they would even take anything off the truck they said I had to make my payment. I saw that my kiln was damaged. My kiln vent hose was smashed and ripped and a bench was broken. I did not let them leave my house until I reported it, just to make sure I was covered.

      Apparently, this company could not care less. I texted pictures to the truck owner. I emailed pictures to the company itself. Nobody has gotten back to me. No one‘s taking my calls and American Van Lines does not care that they damage your product. They don’t do anything about it. I will never use this company and I tell everyone I know not to use the company. I thought I was saving a couple of thousand dollars by using them instead of going with another company, but I truly regret it now because my kiln damage could be more costly than what I was saving not using the other company. The fact that this company does not care at all about the damaged product they can’t even get back to me.

      The only time they reached out to me was to ask for a referral. I told the young lady the only thing she’s getting from me is a bad review. She said she would reach out to the office to escalate, I still never heard anything back from them. So they are very well aware of the damage they caused. They just could not care less. Do not use this company. Stay away. I paid over $8000 for the move and tipped the drivers for the work. Sketchy and crooked, don’t use!

      I am extremely disappointed with my experience with American Van Lines. My belongings were scheduled for delivery no later than July 19, 2026, but the delivery was significantly delayed. Throughout the process, I received very little useful information beyond being told that the company was doing all it could because this was its busy season. Although the customer representative and manager were "generally polite" at best, neither provided a meaningful solution or a reliable delivery date for quite some time. I repeatedly called for updates, left messages, and expressed concern about the location and status of nearly all my household belongings. The responses felt repetitive and did not reflect the urgency, accountability, or professionalism I expected from a company entrusted with my possessions.

      American Van Lines offered a $30-per-day credit for the delay, but that does not make up for the stress, inconvenience, poor communication, and uncertainty I experienced. This was an approximately 600-mile move up the West Coast, not a cross-country shipment and the process was far more difficult than it should have been. I am relieved that I eventually received my belongings, but the overall service experience has been unacceptable. Based on the delays and lack of effective communication, I would not use American Van Lines again and cannot recommend the company to others. Steer clear of this company!!
