    My Move from Farmingdale NJ to Calabash NC: The movers Beldon and Lee were very professional and careful in handling the furniture and boxes. Everything arrived safely except for some minor tears in a particle board computer desktop shelving attachment area which was easily repaired. They were great at setting things back up in Calabash and placing things where I needed them to be. I am very happy with the whole experience and Victoria was great in updating me on the status of the move and arranging last minute items added to the moving list. Thanks so much!

    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.

    I had to get out of the high-rise condo was living in and I needed to have professional photos taken to show on multiple listing, so I wanted to get extraneous stuff out and store them in the garage of my new home. My real estate broker knew Brian from American Van Lines and was really terrific. 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 was 100% accommodating with everything. I really appreciated their level of service. Everybody was fantastic and it was great.

    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.

    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.

    From contact with Renee to Rafael and the two gentlemen with him my interaction could not be more pleasant. I had an involved move - three pick ups before the delivery address and several changes prior to moving day were met with kind words and never once was I made to feel that I was being difficult. The estimate I was given prior to moving day was actually higher than the total I was given the day of, which was appreciated - I would rather plan for more cost and be pleasantly surprised when it is less than have it happen the other way around.

    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’re so pleased that our grand piano is in perfect shape. It was the best experience you can imagine.

    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.

    Our original long distance move plan fell through on Friday morning over Memorial Day weekend. My husband called American Van Lines and they quoted us at the same cost as original plus loading and unloading for us. They loaded our entire 2200 sq/ft house in 3 hours and were extremely polite and professional. We had to wait two weeks for our belongings to get from Pa to Tx, but we knew this beforehand. They unloaded all items for us undamaged. All our items made it other than my husband's tools... They were missing. The end cost was exactly what was quoted. Even though we lost our tools, we could not have asked for a better long distance move experience. They came through for us over a holiday weekend and at the very last minute. We are very grateful!

    I got a job in another state and I was doing a search for multi-state moving, and when I found American Van Lines' website, I gave a call first and talked with somebody over the phone. She put me in touch with the moving coordinator and answered the questions that I had. However, I never received any documentation via email even though I tried to contact her multiple times and let her know that my email was incorrect.

    Eventually, I went to the website and I manually put in my information and got contacted by a different person who got me back in touch with the original moving coordinator I was speaking with. 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. However, I got informed that my items were going to be delivered on Friday during my first week of work. So, thankfully my job was able to allow me to take that time off. Overall, it seems that a lot of information was left out, but my experience was mostly informative, friendly and very prompt.

    My husband and I recently moved from Denver Colorado to Houston Texas and after researching quite a few moving companies we decided to go with American Van Lines. The sales rep we had was very knowledgeable and was willing to structure the bid in a way that addressed our specific moving needs. Our moving coordinator was helpful and accessible, which was very important to us. We LOVED the crew. They were professional, cheerful, worked fast but carefully, and bottom line - are just a great group of guys. We have a lot of stuff (filled the semi completely up) so it was no small job to load and unload. They did a great job and if we move again, we will certainly consider using American Van Lines.

    From the moment I made the first call to American Van Lines and talked to Rachel ** I knew I made the right choice. She was very helpful and I felt at ease. Several days before the move Marcus emailed me and introduced himself and said that he would be taking care of any questions or issues I have from the moment the driver pulled up to the house with the truck until the time my furniture was unloaded in Arizona.

    On moving day the truck pulled up and four movers got out. Introduce themselves and begin packing wrapping and loading my stuff on the truck. It was a pleasure to have them in my house. They were great. We sat and had lunch together which was my pleasure to buy and everything went well. They shut the doors and they left Indiana heading towards Arizona. The driver told me when he would be in Arizona and he was exactly right through the process. Marcus kept checking in on me making sure everything was OK and even the day after the move and everything was done he still gave me a call to make sure my wife and I were happy.

    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 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.

    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.

    The company contacted me and made a settlement to my satisfaction.

    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.

    I highly recommend American Van Lines. First off Peter comes to your house and does a full evaluation of your move. He has been with the company a very long time and is very knowledgeable. Next you get your quote and you only pay a deposit to secure their services with the balance due upon delivery. I evaluated many services including driving my own truck and loading my own stuff into a drop-off trailer and when you compare the pricing there is not much difference. The difference you really get is they move your stuff which is huge. Now I packed my belongings in boxes before they got there. However when they arrived they had 6 guys and had my whole place loaded and out in under 2 1/2 hours - amazing.

    Pat was my driver and when I tell you he is the best. He managed the whole move out with efficiency. He was also my delivery driver along with Scott also being on the delivery side which was great for continuity. AVL also assigns you a move coordinator - mine was Barbara who was fantastic - who contacts you throughout the move with updates on arrivals/deliveries and is there to answer any questions/concerns you may have. On the delivery everything was there and they unloaded all my stuff in the same 2 1/2 hours! You also have 9 months to place a claim should anything be damaged. So far I found 1 cup that broke but really that's on me because I packed it. I moved a lot of stuff too including big TVs, furniture and nice framed artwork and all of it came through. No problem. I cannot recommend these guys enough. Give them a call. You won't be disappointed!

They even called me while the movers were there to make sure they were doing a good job. They gave me an estimate when they came and picked up things, and weighed the truck before and after, and sent me copies of the weights of things. It turned out to be about $900 cheaper than they had originally estimated and there was nothing added on.

    The moving crew was on time and courteous. They didn't pack for me because I had sold my house several months ago and my things were in storage.

    American Van Lines' moving coordinator came to the house, looked at everything and gave me a quote which I felt great about in the beginning until after the move was over. After they picked our stuff up and then was gonna ship it to where it was going, they contacted us and said they weren't gonna release it to us until we paid the balance. They tried to raise it over a thousand dollars.

    Then the moving truck was way too big for our driveway and our yard. We barely got it turned around. They caused damage to some landscape timbers at the house. It took them two and a half hours to get the truck turned around before they ever started loading which is fine, but the guy that came out should have known that truck would have been too much. I had told him to begin with that when we moved to that house, we had to have a transfer truck that transferred from the 18-wheeler up to the house and he had said that they'll take care of it. So we fought them over that.

    Also, it was not my house. We were leasing the property and were responsible for any damage. I told them I was not gonna pay for it and asked on how we are gonna take care of it. I wasn't getting the answers I wanted so I kept going over that person's head until somebody said that they're not gonna raise the cost and that they'll send me the information to fill out to claim the damage. Also, one of my nightstands, an antique, got scratched up and I can't replace it.

    However, everything was good overall. There were a couple of hiccups but we handled it and moved on and got our stuff which is all in storage because we don't have a place to live yet. They weren't shady and nothing was stolen. I was pleased with the packers and the delivery guys went through with me with every single thing and made sure I got every single numbered item. I appreciate that, and I would recommend AVL.

It was a three-and-a-half-hour drive from where we were moving to our new location. The driver and I had an agreement that I should meet the movers at the new location at about 1:00.

    About 9:30 in the morning, someone from the driver's location out of Queensboro, North Carolina called and he was telling that he was expecting me to be at the new location at that time. He didn't threaten me but I got offended by the way that he came off about it. He said I failed to meet the time obligation and that he would try not to charge me for it.

    Great company, showed up on time, assessed what was going and got it done in less time than was estimated saving me money. I was alone so the unload was a bit overwhelming with stuff coming in so fast trying to direct traffic and unload wardrobe boxes but they even helped with that. Very satisfied with the whole operation from initial call and quote until completion and follow-up. Highly recommend these guys. Thanks.

    My experience with American Van Lines couldn't have been better! From the scheduler to the manager to the movers, themselves, everyone was superb! They were not only efficient and effective, but friendly and helpful, as well... I thank you all for making my move as easy as possible!

    This has been resolved. I received a check for $375 dollars and mailed the form that I needed to sign. The Customer Service Manager told me that I should be receiving a $50 dollar credit to the card that was used for my move. Thank you, American Van Lines.

    Original Review: Jan. 3, 2017

    Allen, the moving coordinator from American Van Lines, was fine. He was the one that set up everything. When they moved me out of my apartment at Ellesmere, I was on the fourth floor. Allen was very well aware of this. There are elevators but they're not large enough to accommodate some of the pieces of furniture I had, like my dresser. However, the movers made it known that they weren't too happy about carrying some heavy pieces of furniture downstairs. And after the men delivered my furniture at Oakridge, I got the impression that they were waiting for a tip. It was very obvious. But I didn't feel that it was appropriate.

    Then I saw the crew visibly scratched my wood floor and one of my jalousie windows on my front entrance door got cracked so I had to replace it the other day. My grandfather clock doesn't seem to be working as it once was, too. These were not so good experiences so I called AVL's customer service department and talked with Josh. He was supposed to have somebody call me back. I called more than once but nobody has ever called me back so I took things into my own hands and put in a dispute of the $980 balance with my bank.

    The company was on time and efficient with the move. The employees were courteous and respectful of the premises and contents. They were very careful with packing and moving the items and offered reasonable, competitive rates. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a local move.

    AVL's moving coordinator was very nice. My husband was there for the move itself and I wasn't, but their people told me they were gonna notify me before the move and they did. They also told me they were gonna call me half an hour before they go there which they did as well. The people of American Van Lines were very professional from the beginning to the end. Everything was perfect, and nothing was damaged or broken too. I'd definitely recommend the company.

    I had a very nice experience with American Van Lines. The moving coordinator gave me information that helped me decide to go with them. He was very helpful. The moving crew was very thorough, too. There were some things I didn't have in a box and they helped me put these into the box. The AVL people were very professional and came within the timeframe given. The only issue was that a bookshelf got broken, as well as my shampooer. But, other than that, everything was nice. I also recommended AVL to my daughter who's gonna move to Arizona.

    I was aware of American Van Lines because I was in the military. However, I googled them when I was in Phila and did some price quotes with some other van lines, but eventually decided to go with American. The coordinator was really nice and he kept me abreast on everything. He sent me documents and we had to sign them online, and they had all this neat and progressive software which made it very convenient for me. We stayed in touch throughout the whole process. Even when the packers or the movers were there, I had to call him to ask a few questions and he was always very responsive. Plus the movers were very efficient, friendly, courteous and they moved fast. It was a great experience and I would certainly recommend them to friends.

    I had a 100 mile move and I used American Van Lines. I was gonna go with Two Men And A Truck and American Van Lines gave me their initial price which was a little bit higher. But then, American Van Lines agreed to match Two Men And A Truck so I went with American Van Lines. They were able to help me understand that if it's an interstate move, there's a certain amount of money that's gonna be added to it 'cause it's not a local move. They were upfront about everything with their cost. I feel there's an even lower price but I understand there are also regulations against that.

    I gave the moving consultants some basic information like how many boxes and they said, "We're gonna put you overweight which is a good thing 'cause if you're underweight, it won't be as much on the charges at the end of the day." And because I was underweight, they made the price go down. The person who helped me out down in Florida was also very professional, open and very available to me for any questions as far as email or phone. She was really a big help. I give American Van Lines credit 'cause I had to move fast and they got me in on a schedule pretty fast.

    The best moving experience ever!! Eddie, Anthony and Chris wrapped everything, took their time to make sure nothing broke and everything. Placed everything where I wanted it. Brian and Barbara called and checked in twice. It couldn't have been more perfect!!!
