I am very pleased with my experience. All items shipped were not damaged. The customer service is over the top. Once I was assigned my own customer service rep she was the only person I had to talk to. Victoria ** was super! My driver Ricky ** is an asset to your company! Thank you to all who were involved in my shipment. Your service and integrity are the reason I would only choose American again.

From the time I contacted them to the very end, they were there to assist and help me with any questions I had. It was my first big cross country move... and I was nervous to say the least. The van arrived the very next day at my new home. This company has the hardest workers I have ever seen. They were respectful and good work ethic. I would have them again if I ever moved. You will not be disappointed.

An overall positive experience considering the stressful nature of moving from one state to another. Our driver, Ricky, was very helpful and clearly had our best interests at heart. The packing guys were friendly and took reasonable care of our goods. We would definitely recommend American Van Lines to all.

Great customer service. Movers were careful and on time. Very good experience. Cost was estimated from accurately the start, even though we struggled with all we might take versus donating before our move. Quality assurance stayed on top of things and my "personal" moving representative was always responsive and timely.

We were very disappointed with how our belongings were packed. We have damage to mirrors, picture frames, and other items. We also find that items in one room was packed in other room's markings. We are still going through boxes to find lost items. We will be filing a claim for broken items.

When they moved our belongings into the house they didn't use pads to protect the hardwoods. When they removed the dolly from under boxes in the bedrooms, they scratched the floors which will need to be repaired. We didn't realize that's how they removed the boxes. They should have lifted the boxes off the dolly instead of pulling the dolly out from under the boxes.

When we moved some furniture with American Van Lines, their crews have been hardworking and did an excellent job. They were on time and were here when they said they were coming, both moving the furniture out of our house that we sold in North Carolina and the house here. We only had one glass broken and my wife had packed that box.

From the original contact and meeting with our Estimator to the men on the moving crew, we had nothing but a positive experience. Pricing was fair and better than four competitors' bids. The estimate of the number of boxes we would need for our self-packing plan, and the estimate of the total number of hours for loading and unloading was right on the mark.

I'm very satisfied with American Van Lines and I would use them. The moving coordinator named Nat was great and very accommodating. The crew was also here on time. They wrapped my stuff really well and nothing got damaged in the transport except for maybe a couple of cheap little plastic containers.
But my biggest complaint about the company was when I set up my pickup and delivery. Nat had told me there was a two to seven-day turnaround. The pickup date was set up from the 28th to 30th and the delivery window was the 30th, 31st, or the 1st. They picked up my stuff on the 30th and then delivered it the very next morning on the 31st. Normally, I would not complain about this except that they picked it up at 7:00 AM and delivered it 8:00 AM the next morning. I had to drive eight hours by myself to be here to pick it up for the delivery. I spoke to a lady and she kept saying “Well, it's in the delivery window.” I said, “I understand that. But the 30th is part of the delivery window because it was two days from the 28th, but that’s not when they picked it up.” This is dangerous to do to somebody. Another thing is when the driver put my bed back together, he slid the box spring over the edge of my bed and scratched up my bed.

For their price and customer service, I decided to go with American Van Lines. Some things needed clarity like the contracts, what they covered, and also about the cost that went up. But once I explained it to them, or we debated it a little bit, they were able to correct it. They were very accommodating even with the misunderstanding and everything was fine. I will probably have more interactions with the carrier driver, though, because there were some things that I just discovered. There were a couple of things that were damaged and lost like a pair of very expensive sunglasses that I cannot locate. I have 90 days to have that looked at. Overall, it turned out to be a good experience. Living in a world where there's always negotiations, their customer service came through and that's what I would tell anyone.

The rep that I dealt with was a great person. She assisted me very well and was very on it. American Van Lines did a good service, but they got here really late. They told me they were gonna be here at 1:00 and they arrived at about 4:00. But overall, they were great guys and everything was done.

Overall way too many calls. I received like 3-5 phone calls a day from a variety of people "serving" me. It was a huge hassle. However, the movers were prompt and efficient. Everything arrived and the move itself was smooth. The "3 day" window for pick up was also terrible and the only company I have ever experienced this with - this is the primary reason I wouldn't recommend.

We were relocating after retiring. We have never had someone move us before. We contacted a number of moving companies, but even though it was a little more expensive than the other companies, I felt that it was the right decision because they move a lot of military families. I didn't know the protocol in a move such as this, but they came in and knew exactly what to do. They were on time and got right to business. Every piece of furniture and box was tagged and accounted. When they arrived at the final location, they put the items where I needed them. They worked very hard, and I was comfortable they took care of my items as well as they could be taken care of. Very satisfied with the move.
Reviewed April 1, 2017
The packers and movers were fast, careful, and polite. They took extra care in moving big items down a narrow stairway to the lower level. They took extra care to put like boxes, kitchen, master bedroom, etc. together. They were careful of the new paint job in the house. No damage.

When my husband got a job in Nashville, I looked up the best moving companies online and ended up going with American Van Lines. My coordinator was nice and my moving consultant was great. He was more than friendly. It was beyond anything that I've experienced as far as customer service goes. The crew was also great and super nice. There was an incident in our apartment complex which was not because of them, but they handled it very well. They told me about it right away and I took care of it. Everything was great with American Van Lines. The guys were awesome and everything went smoothly. If I ever have to move again, I'm definitely going to contact American Van Lines.

American Van Lines resolved my outstanding issue with some lost items.
Original Review: March 31, 2017
We've used American Van Lines two times. The first time was for a move into our apartment when our house was getting built, and everything went excellent. And then, the next move was from our apartment to our house. When we got our stuff packed and American Van Lines moved us to the house, we noticed one of the TVs was missing. We had to call them back on Saturday afternoon to bring the TV and they don't know where it was. Once they had closed, they said they can't call us back until Monday. It's an $800 TV and my husband was wigged out until Monday morning when somebody called us back. Nobody was there to get into wherever they need to get.
We used them in the end of January or the 1st of February last year and we discovered there have been numerous things that we can't find - clothes, my mother's pound cake pan, and some other kitchen utensils. Everything has been unpacked. We are not pack rats, like we know what we have, and we are people who put everything away in the same place. We don't live a chaotic life and we've had so many things that are missing after that second move. I don't believe that they were trying to steal anything from us. It could have been an issue where things were left on the van. But because we didn't discover it within that year, we didn't feel like we could call back and do anything or say anything. Because what proof did we have?
They found the TV on the van and we received it, but there were so many clothes and things from the kitchen that were missing. We were missing a lot of stuff. Somebody was asking for movers a couple of weeks ago. And somebody told me, "You loved your guys that moved you?" I did the first time. I loved Tyrone and the other guys. But I went right on Facebook and said, "Don't call them. There are lots of stuff missing."

After we sold our house, we needed a moving service when we were transferring to a temporary apartment. We went with American Van Lines and had a lot of interactions with their moving coordinator.

I liked American Van Lines' customer service. Their coordinator who assisted me when I purchased their service was excellent - very clear and very concise. My experience with their moving consultant was very good as well. The crew during the move was very productive, relentless, and very organized. They were on time. They gave me a 30-minute window and they respected it. It was done 30 minutes before and though I did not pay attention to that, they deducted it from the cost. The paperwork was also swift, accurate, and very satisfying. It was a perfect crew and I would definitely recommend them.

All throughout this process, American's employees have made the moving experience significantly easier to get through.

We went with American Van Lines for our move and the moving coordinator, Brian, was pleasant. However, my daughter and I made the mistake of numbering only a few of the cartons and not all of them. I had a lot of professional, heavy duty cartons, wardrobes, and boxes that I had purchased at Home Depot. I must have had at least 40 cartons.
Then, after our move, some things were missing. It took me a while to get through all those cartons and as time went by, I found that I couldn't find certain things, like kitchen items, frying pans, omelet pans, and I've already gone to the last carton. I remember that on the day my furniture was being picked up, we had one gigantic box, but after our move, I don't remembering opening that box.
We've moved before and we would always mark the cartons. The only thing that we did this time was that we marked with "Fragile," "Breakfront," or "Glass" the cartons containing things like that. By not marking all the cartons, we weren't in control of what we received and what we opened until everything had been unpacked, and then that's when we realized that we were missing things.
I called American Van Lines and told the rep about the missing items. Someone from there might get back to me because there are numbers in little blue tags on all the furniture in the boxes. The missing items may be somewhere in another vault where the furniture go. My furniture went to storage for over three months. Despite all these, however, I would recommend American Van Lines to someone else.

I've used American Van Lines four times because of the cost. Every crew that I've had, even though each crew has been different, has always been good as far as they hadn't broken anything and messed up anything. Also, Jason, the moving coordinator, was awesome and excellent. Every time I call for a move, I always got him. It's been smooth but at first, the price seem kind of high and I don't know how the move is going to go. With using them before, they may have overestimated and I was prepared but I've never had to pay that price. Then they put the weight and how much they're taking.
The second time I used them, I had a problem with one guy breaking a lot. I talked to the head guy and told him that if he's not feeling good, then they need to bring somebody else in. So the head guy went out and talked to him and I didn't have any more problems throughout the rest of the move. But other than that second move, I hadn't had any problems since then. I've also never had to follow up with anything. I have recommended them to some friends and they've used them as well.

I've used American Van Lines 4 times. The first time early 2000, they moved my whole family from New York City to Miami, Fl & they couldn't have been more professional.

Excellent customer service, and appreciated having a dedicated move consultant who contacted me frequently during the process. I would have preferred having an on-site assessment prior to the move to estimate the weight and access for the van. Unanticipated lack of access cost me an additional $2,000.00 for a shuttle. For both pick-up and delivery, the movers arrived hours later than expected (late morning and early afternoon as opposed to 8 am as expected). They had problems locating the address, so I'd recommend updating GPS access for the drivers.

I was doing a lot of online research for my move and I found American Van Lines. They were one of the top rated moving companies. I figured the cost was going to be out of my price range because I was trying to do the move on a budget. I reached out to them to kind see where they're at and it ended up working out. The three movers were all cool dudes but they could have been moving faster. Both on the day of picking up and dropping off, they gave me a couple-hour window and both times they were significantly late by multiple hours but they let me know and didn't keep me in the dark.

When I retired, I've had enough of the cold in Michigan and wanted to move south. My wife contacted American Van Lines and the salesperson, Joseph, was extremely attentive and comprehensive in his presentation. He was very upfront and honest with us. The guys who moved us from Michigan were exceptional. However, we had an issue because our driveway is extremely steep. We're in the western part of North Carolina, up in the mountains. And the need for a smaller truck was communicated well in advance because it's about a quarter of a mile long and our builder told us that there's no way that they would get a straight truck up the driveway.
But the dispatcher didn't believe that they needed a smaller truck. And instead sent virtually the same sized truck from a rental agency, and it didn't make it up the hill. So we ended up getting a pickup. They finally convinced them that they needed smaller truck, and once we got it, we were able to get everything up to the house. The guys did everything that they possibly could.
The Michigan group was extremely attentive. They did the packing very well and were extremely careful. They brought in a crew from Greensboro, North Carolina to assist them when they had to unload the truck, put everything in the pickup and then move the pickup up to the house. But they were not nearly as careful and thorough. And we had several items that were broken and scratched. I had taken pictures of everything, but since we did the packing and didn't have the receipts, we were unable to turn it in for reimbursement. The only thing that American Van Lines packed were paintings and they turned out fine. Some of the tables and furniture were also scratched but I managed to touch it up with a furniture pen.
We were still very satisfied with American Van Lines. The only problem we had was when the dispatcher did not heed our request to get another truck. By the time we were on the third truck, the Michigan folks were supposed to be in Florida and I think that's why they sent an additional crew to help them as quickly as possible to unload the materials from the van, put them in the pickup and get them up here so that those guys from Michigan could get to Florida. And that's when the damage occurred. And the Greensboro crew hazed to get everything unloaded so that the crew from Michigan could get down to Florida. But they were still diligent.

He brought me boxes a couple of times and when American was out of the large ones, he went to Home Depot and bought them himself, then brought them to me. I had to move about 32 cartons and a few other things. The movers, Shane and one other guy, did such a great job, that's why I requested to have them for my next move scheduled for the 29th of March as I will be closing on the house in Delray.

American Van Lines had the best quote and were the easiest to work with. They were prompt and listened to me. The moving crew was also wonderful. Though they broke one table, it wasn't a big deal so I didn't tell the moving company. It fell from the top when they were moving the stuff around.

I called several van lines when I was relocating, but since the lady that called me back from American Van Lines was cool, I decided to go with them. The rep who came out to our place was also great. The moving consultants were also good and for the most part, they kept in touch with me all day. Overall, it was a huge move, consisting of 4000 square feet or so, but it all went really well. The guys that did the move were great.
The only thing that went poorly was that they told me 45 minutes before we were all heading out, with me following the van from one house to the next, that they couldn't move a $3000 bunk bed we had and that I had to take it apart. So I was in a mad scramble to get that done and broke the bed into several pieces because I was in such a rush. I was recouped a little bit of that, but it was extremely irritating and we lost a lot of money on that. Obviously, that was a big pill for us to swallow. Had I been informed of that beforehand, I would have come out earlier and taken the bed apart, and I would have had more time to do it correctly.

I went online and talked to American Van Lines for a move. Immediately, they sent me the stuff over that I needed for moving. I was moving myself and I told them what I wanted. My moving coordinator was outstanding. I talked to her, she arranged everything and there was another person that was dropped down to make sure everything was fine.
I moved from Clayton, North Carolina down here to Ocean Isle which is about 160 miles. American Van Lines loaded my truck and these guys were in and out in under three and a half hours. American Van Lines is really good. They made sure everything was packed right and everything was covered. I've been moving since I've been in retail for 40 years and I get transferred every one to two years. For the first time, I didn't have any damage. I'd recommend them to anybody. As a matter of fact, my daughter is moving the first of the month and she's having the same company.

My experience with American Van Lines when I was moving to Florida wasn't good. I had to email their moving coordinator a couple of times because he didn’t respond. Also, they sent a truck that was too small and they ended up putting the stuff and smashing it on there. In fact, I even made my phone a video when they called before so their rep could see what the stuff was and how much it was. But he said that was the right truck size according to what he saw. So, they scratched up a lot of my furniture and broke some of them.
Furthermore, they were late getting to the storage where we were waiting for them. They were supposed to arrive there at 9:00 but they got there at about 11:00 and they sent only one guy to unload by himself. And it was a four-bedroom house, living room, dining room, kitchen, and breakfast nook, so it took him 8 hours. We sat there in the sun because we couldn't leave him. When I called and told them about the situation and that I expect to get some of our money back, their rep said they'll give us $250. But they never sent that. It was an awful experience and I would never use them again.
Updated on 07/17/2017: Home damaged furniture and no response to damage claim. I sent pictures of damages and form to submit my claim for $1,500. I haven't had a response even though I sent an email indicating that I am still waiting for the money for my claim. As of today, July 17, 2017, I still haven't heard anything.

We have a grand piano and we were going to ship it ourselves initially. I was going to get four of our guys and a U-haul truck. My ex-wife said it's really stupid ‘cause we've never done it before and not only will we lose the value of the piano if it gets damaged, but if one of us gets hurt then I'm going to be responsible for the person’s medical bills. I am also going to pay the guys $200 a piece, pay for gas and a U-Haul truck. It will add up probably to the same thing a moving company would cost. Sure enough, I found American Van Lines and they gave me a price of $1,495, which is probably less than I would’ve had to pay to do it myself from Richmond to Raleigh.
Two guys met us in Richmond and they realized that with just two guys, they might not be able to get it into our house in Raleigh. So they waited till the next day, picked up another guy, and three guys brought it to Raleigh the next morning. All of them were the most personable people that I’ve ever worked with.

We were moving out to Albuquerque approximately in the middle of February and I was looking at a couple of companies at the same time shopping around a little bit first. American Van Lines asked me to fill out their forms and this time I got approximately how much things were gonna cost. I came out to Albuquerque to find a place and after I accepted my listing, they gave me a price list. They also called me 3-4 times to see how things were going with my plans.
When I told them that we changed our mind, the moving coordinator went over things. I told them I'm not taking as much stuff as I was originally so they did another way and we got the price down a couple of thousand dollars. She then gave me approximately three days, the dates 21st or 22nd or 23rd, that we would be moving. At that same point, I had already planned the flights for me and my wife and we were flying out on the 24th. When it got closer to the time, the moving coordinator called me back, gave me the name of the driver who would be contacting me, and said they'd be able to be there on the 22nd.
The driver called to tell what time he'd arrive then called again a little later to say he'd be late. They showed up and packed everything up very professionally. I watched them very carefully and they were very careful with my products and had wrapped everything. They got my things into the truck, loaded and stacked them very well. Luckily, the weather that day up in Massachusetts was beautiful so it made everything a little bit faster for the process.
I spoke to the driver about when they'd arrive in Albuquerque and he said they'd be there as soon as Saturday, which sounded great because I was flying out on Friday. The weather was the same deal when they got in Albuquerque and there were no problems. They brought everything in and as I was standing there telling them where to put something, then they wrapped up their rugs and left.

The email thing got fixed, but when it came time to put down the deposit, she did not inform me of the two-week window that it would be in order for my items to be delivered. So, I was under the impression that it would be picked up a few days before my moving date and then delivered either on or relatively near my moving date.
The crew that came to my house was very nice. They were careful with my items while they were packing up the TV and moving the boxes into the truck. I pleaded with them to see if they could deliver on the weekend or during a time that my friend was going to be with me to accept delivery because I moved in to a one-bedroom apartment and I was not going to be there during the week.

I originally talked to several different people in the beginning of this process. When I put the deposit down for my move I was not informed of the delivery window by Jennifer (I can't remember exactly what position she held). The next day a moving coordinator, Victoria, contacted me and informed me of the 2-week delivery window. I explained that I was moving into a one-bedroom apartment by myself and would be working a full-time job M-F. She said if I was unable to accept delivery, then my items would be sent to a self-storage facility that I would be responsible for getting or hire a local moving company.
I pleaded with the drivers who picked up my items and the moving coordinator to schedule for delivery on the weekend, but nothing was a guarantee. The driver was able to deliver my first week of work on Friday at 11:15 AM, but he was unable to deliver on the weekend. I wish the company was able to be more flexible with deliveries for those that are moving alone.
Other than that, communication was fairly prompt and the delivery went smoothly with no damage but a scratch on my desk (see added photo). I have not yet decided to file a claim because I honestly don't think anything would be done for a piece of Ikea furniture. I informed the coordinator of the scratch and she stated I had the option to file a claim.

I recently contracted American Van Lines for my long distance move from Miami, FL to Los Angeles, CA. I needed to move a small 1-bedroom condo's worth of items. Since the first call and bid, they were top-notch. They were professional, timely and very thorough. I had a few antiques and valuable items to ship and they ensured everything was packed right and handled with care. They walked me through the whole process from beginning to end and were great. My account person was amazing. She was prompt and very on-top of things. If she said she would call me the next day to confirm a delivery window, you better believe that she called me.
I would use them again in a heartbeat. I researched a lot of companies and I found American Van Lines to be priced fair and affordably. I had debated whether it was cheaper to just trek across the country and do it myself. Honestly, it was not worth it. The peace of mind and professionalism and ease of it all made the decision an easy one. I've used moved before. Frankly, I've been skeptical of movers since I was right out of college when I had to move from Chicago to Los Angeles. During that move, the company was shady and just an overall horrible experience. So, you can image how hesitant I was. I will use these guys again and again! Very satisfied and very impressed!

Really appreciated how the driver, Ricky **, took care of not just my belongings but me too. He had a good team of guys who packed everything up, and two go getters to unload. And it was a complicated delivery as a shuttle was needed. But shout-out to Ricky, thanks for making something stressful less nerve wracking!

My experience with American Van Lines was nothing but perfection. Having Brian come to the house for an estimate was a pleasure. He was extremely knowledgeable. Due to my situation I could not have pickup and delivery on the same day for a local move. The staff worked with me and arranged to hold my belongings and deliver 2 days later. The 3 gentlemen who packed and unloaded the truck (yes, the same 3 on two different days!) were extremely friendly, courteous and careful. Moving is a stress none of us enjoy. This company made the move a pleasure. I highly recommend them!

Happy with the work done by the MBM movers. I wish the travel charge would have been little less though. People showed up on time. Carefully handled the furniture while moving and installed at destination as needed. Thank you. Really appreciate the work done.

They have great customer service. The team at American Van Lines was a great help throughout the full move process. From the first contact when my move was quoted, to the final follow-through after my items were delivered, each individual was courteous, knowledgeable, and friendly. The process included several quality checks and confirmations to ensure the move was smooth, and the re-confirmations were a great reassurance. On both the pickup and delivery days, the movers were on time (arriving at the top of the estimated window), professional, and efficient. The driver kept in touch with me to confirm the delivery date and was just as efficient and careful with my belongings when delivering to the new house. I was very happy with the entire process and would recommend American Van Lines.

The movers arrived on time. They wrapped our furniture with care. They left little doubt that they knew what they were doing. Not only were they careful with our furniture, they were careful not to damage the floor or doors. The lead man gave us a time when the truck would meet us at our new address and it was right on time. Can't beat this moving company, don't even try.

I will start by saying that I was given a time frame of 9am-11am for the driver (Eddy) to arrive at the pick-up location (Ft. Lauderdale)... He was there at 9am on the dot! The office furniture had to be taken apart at pick-up location and reassembled at delivery location (Coral Gables). They were very professional and friendly and very helpful. Eddy and his helpers were done way before 12pm!! My company and I are very happy with the service provided and will more than likely use them again when needed! I highly recommend American Van Lines! Everyone that assisted me, Toni with the order, Ginger with the dispatch and order completion and Eddy with the move, could not have been more gracious, friendly and professional.

American Van Lines reached out to me to try to resolve my issues. After several phone calls, we came to a resolution. I appreciate their willingness to rectify this situation.
Original Review: Feb. 8, 2017
Zero Stars. Worst. Move. Ever. First of all, we did two detailed item inventories via phone before the movers arrived. When they did arrive, their truck was barely the weight load limit of our "estimated" weight of move. Turns out, our move DID NOT fit in their truck. After two days of packing and loading, half of our garage and much of our exterior didn't fit. Now what to do? Hire yet another company? We ended up giving all that stuff away and just leaving. When I called company they told me I was over my weight limit (how the hell do I know how much my stuff will weigh) and by contract, they will not move it unless we schedule an additional move. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
When we arrived at new destination, the movers used my bath and kitchen towels to wrap my breakables. Bath towels were wrapped around vases and put in boxes that had nothing to do with bathrooms. Same with my comforter. It wrapped a glass box with no notes. When I pulled out the comforter the glass box flew out onto our tile floor. Ridiculous. Nothing was in the boxes they should have been in and they left a whole half a bathroom back in the old house. Our realtor had to box it up and ship it to us. I have NEVER seen such a crappy move team and unprofessional move in all my life. I will NEVER use these guys again. Several pieces of furniture are scratched beyond repair. Large vases were broken. An antique China cabinet was broken. What a joke. Paintings were pushing in boxes without packing or padding next to each other so that frames and paintings were scratched.

The Movers arrived on time. The inside of the truck was a mess, with old boxes, trash, and miscellaneous furniture. The movers worked hard and fast to load the truck. They unloaded my 25' x 10' storage unit, which was very full, in about 3 hours. The main office kept in contact with me prior to delivery to let me know when to expect the movers arrival. They arrived a few days later than I wanted but considering cross country, weather, and short notice it was reasonable. Only two men to unload, but they hustled. Towards the end, there was a desk on the truck that they wanted to know where to put, however it was not mine. It concerned me that someone else's desk was somehow in my load. The men were professional and got everything into the house in about 2 1/2 hours. Minimal damage. There did not seem to be as much coming off the truck as went into it.
Now that I have gotten into the major unpacking, I am missing some boxes. It is difficult to determine exactly what is missing, but for sure dishes, glasses, silverware, and some clothing. Maybe the guy with the missing desk got my stuff? I believe things go missing when they move all of your stuff from the original moving truck to consolidate with other loads. Overall, I am satisfied with the people I dealt with at American, but disappointed with having to deal with missing items.

Dealing with American Van Lines made a stressful task (move from Baltimore to Sarasota) almost a pleasure. The staff was extremely helpful, professional and courteous. They were never late (actually early, which was helpful). The staff kept us apprised of all schedules and developments. The van driver (Pat **) and his staff were friendly, pleasant and worked efficiently. I was amazed at the efficiency of their packing. They took particular care in packing our belongings. Communication was excellent. No problems and would recommend American without reservation.

Satisfied with the move. However there was some confusion with having the driver arrive at the storage facility first and not the apartment. That was discussed several times with customer service. The second point of confusion came when the driver did not arrive with boxes to pack the apartment. He had a few to back the TV's but I had to purchase enough boxes to pack out the apartment. As far as I know there were no problems with the delivery in Georgia.

Original Review: Feb. 4, 2017
Sadly, I felt that they sent too few men and the move took far too long for a local move. The guys tried very hard so I bought them lunch but they fatigued before the end of packing. They first packed my items in the truck tightly using all available space but about after fatigue set in, they started packing loosely to show that the truck was "full". Therefore they did not pack nor move all of my items. I had to pay another local mover to finish moving the remaining items. The company charged far too much and under served its employees and me as the client. There was also minor damage to some of my furniture which I did not bother to report. Overall a poor moving experience and I will definitely NOT use them again.

This move was the BEST moving experience of my life!!! The boys were professional, courtesy & extremely careful with my items. They loaded a 3 bedroom house of furniture, 90 boxes plus & misc in 4 hours. My items filled a 29' truck to the max!! Delivered it the next day in Miami & brought it up an elevator to the 5th floor in less time. Everything was placed exactly where I wanted. Not a scratch, break or dent in anything. Everything was in perfect condition. Ginger, the representative was FANTASTIC, she called several times during the move to check if everything was going smoothly. She kept me posted on arrival times, even just to see how I was doing. It was as if she was there with me through the entire process. BEST MOVE, BEST EXPERIENCE, HIGHLY recommend.

Had a small load that needed to piggyback on other loads. They got one of their subcontracting movers to do the job when they weren't able to line up anything from the main company. They did that while they were struggling with office closures for the Florida hurricane, and despite the storm heading straight for their offices they didn't really miss a beat on getting the thing arranged. The subcontracting company employees were great. They were professional, very nice and did a fine job.
