    American Van Lines made my state to state move easy. They were very professional and took care of every detail. The quote I was given was the price I paid. No surprises. The drivers were prompt, professional, and took great care in packing my household. I highly recommend this company and will be using their services again. Exceptional customer service at a great price!

    There was poor communication between the driver and the company. The driver called us the night before he was to arrive. The company called us after the driver had already arrived and told us the driver would be arriving sometime that day. There was an ice storm the day prior and we had no time to clear our driveway in advance of his arrival since we were only informed at a late hour the night before. The driver complained to us that we were causing an unsafe environment for him and his crew since the driveway was icey. If someone had given us better notice of when to expect him we could have cleared the driveway before the truck arrived.

    It's not the first time I've used American Van Lines services on several occasions for relocations/moves. I have always been very happy and content with the service. The one time I had to use another company since American Van Lines was not available, I was very sorry I did. The service from this other company was so bad and nowhere near the excellence of service that American Van Lines has always provided. This time around was no different! These guys were awesome, worked so hard to make every part of the move a great experience. I would recommend this company to anyone in a heartbeat.

    Although my quote was based on three men only two were on the job. However the move was completed efficiently with the two movers. I forgot to specify that the job needed to be completed before 5 pm due to condo restrictions. I recommend that this should be automatically asked by the estimator when booking the job to avoid issues.

    My moving experience was excellent. The 3 men were extremely polite, did as I asked plus extras. I had bags of moving items in my car, they immediately took them out & carried them upstairs for me. I left the new home for 15 minutes, forgetting to tell them that I had bought sliders to put under the legs of the furniture so as not to scratch the wood floors. These men took it upon themselves to find the bag of sliders & attach them. They were very careful not to scratch walls nor break anything.

    You hear so many bad reviews about moving companies, so, of course, I was nervous about my move. I called other companies and they were not as accommodating as American Van Lines, who was willing to come to my house after normal business hours when I work, and give me a written quote for my move. The representative who came out was courteous, knowledgeable and on time! I called him several times after we meet. He was always professional and answered all my questions.

    On the day of the move, the truck showed up on time, three men came in and immediately began packing up the items that didn't fit into boxes, such as large wall hangings, etc. They worked well together all day, never stopping it seemed! They took apart my bed frame and re assembled it in my new place and gave me time to find and put the bed skirt on the bed! Best of all, the price was the price. I was never asked for a penny more than the initial representative quoted me on that very first night. I would happily recommend American Van Lines to everyone and have already done so a couple of times!!!

    DO NOT EVER USE THIS MOVING COMPANY! The moving company showed up a day later than the original 3 day window with the wrong size truck. They had a full inventory list which matched what we had but the weight was about 12,000 pounds off from our original weight quote from **. The movers told us to rent a truck and drive ourselves with the rest of the load as their truck only held 8000 pounds and they had to leave room for another 1000 load they had contracted already. Since we had closed on our home a day prior and were already late moving out we had no other option. They also charged us an additional $300 cash to help load this truck but were working soooo slowly my boyfriend and I wound up doing the majority of the work.

    We also wound up having to leave furniture behind because there was still not enough room and they had to still pick up that other load from another client on their truck. They also loaded all the heavy items in their truck, they said so it would meet their quota and it actually wound up being 400 pounds more than the original estimate (which was still so far off). This was such a SCAM. My move cost me twice as much as they estimated and a lot more stress than anyone needs during a move. I have moved across country before and I never expected it to go perfectly but this was nothing short of a NIGHTMARE!

    They have violated every so-called agreement, yet will not give me my property unless I pay them 24 hrs. before they deliver my things. They begged & harassed me for my business...estimate way off...had to get a bigger truck. Even after I agreed to allow them to come 3 days earlier, the dispatcher called me & yelled at me, saying I was holding up the movers because I was not all packed up. Yet the movers had not begun to move my piano, living room or bedroom furniture. I have been trying to get my belongings for two weeks. I have no idea if I will ever see my property. I gave them 40% down & was told upon delivery to pay balance. Now, they say they won't give me my property unless I pay in advance 24 hrs. Yet, I don't know where my things are???

    This was a move from Atlanta to Indianapolis, IN. At this point I must get a lawyer & report them to the Better Business Bureau. A very dishonest & unprofessional operation. I have no problem paying them, but they have very vile business practices. Do not use them...this has been a nightmare for me & I still don't have my things.

    I am very happy that I received a call from Sara and Tamikia from the offices at American Van Lines to tell me they located a piece of furniture that I had thought the driver lost. They will be delivering it back to me. It was from my mom who recently passed away and was very sentimental to me and I was very upset that it wasn't here with my delivery but after some long hours on their part they went far beyond what most companies would do and tracked it down. I am now a happy camper!! A lot of what I was upset with was from the driver who now is no longer there and it seems to me that this company listens to their clients and I am very impressed with what they all did. Thanks so much!!

    Original Review: Jan. 14, 2015

    I am writing this review to let people know to make sure you mark off each item that comes in the house and do not sign the paper until everything is check off. I noticed a piece of furniture was missing and I went out to the driver while he was reloading the other peoples items back onto the truck. He would not go back and look for it. This was something sentimental to me, my mom had just passed away a few months ago and my move was to move her furniture out of the house north to my home.

    It was a simple move and should have been easy. They use only color stickers on the items and if they fall off your items are not accounted for unless you go back to the paper. I was told they would look for it and I offered to go get it while still in my state. Now the truck is in New York and no sign of the cabinet. You know that driver would not admit he has it, it would make it look bad so I'm sure I'll never see that again. It's not worth more than $100 but to me it was a memory of my parents that is lost forever.

    My Piano from mom and dad was also damaged, he broke off the leg and I had to help carry it up the stairs. He did not know anything about moving a Piano, unlike your ad. He was 4 hrs late, went the wrong way on a mountain road that the truck was not allowed on. He also tried to get me to pay him cash for the extra helper he brought along for the piano. When I questioned him he was not too happy but I ended up tipping them both $20.

    I tried to get them to call for directions and must have called 3 or 4 times to tell someone but they kept saying "your driver will call before he comes up." He did not, he called when his truck was stuck on a road that had a sign NO TRUCKS. Everyone in the area knew about it. A box came with my mom's broken dishes but I know that cash happen. I am just upset about the missing piece, no excuses for that on such a small move.

    I am planning another move of my whole house within a year and this time I am doing it myself. Overall very sad and disappointed in this company. This happened Christmas week. It's now Jan 14th and still not found, how big can this truck be? It's got to be somewhere but they will not track it down. They should call the people who had loads dropped off. They need to redo their system.

    We wanted to look for a company that not only met a budget but would be responsible for moving out of state with no gimmicks. I was very happy with the service not only from the customer service and the dispatch, but also from the actual movers that come to our house. They were courteous and made sure that all was well taken care of. We wanted to make sure that the items would be delivered in a week window and the timing was met. We are very happy we made this choice and if it were ever to happen again, I would use this company again in a heartbeat.

    I do 4 TOY DRIVES a year for kids battling cancer and American Van Lines has always been there for me to help delivery the toys to the hospitals. They are always on time and always willing to help. What an amazing experience and I'm so happy they are the official moving company with my charity. I can't thank you guys enough for always going above and beyond to make sure the toys get delivered safely. I highly recommend them for all your moving needs. Great staff and great company. You guys are awesome.

    This company is professional and efficient. Their communication with timing and details is excellent. The packing was done carefully and with excellence. Our move was a huge transition for our family of 7 and American Van Lines made it a very positive experience for us.

    The movers in Florida were very quick and professional; they packed up my apartment in less than 4 hours. Given that I was moving around July 4 weekend and there was a possibility of a delay, American Van Lines had the wherewithal to contact one of their partner moving companies in Illinois ahead of time. Fortunately, that company was able to grab my stuff in Florida and move it to Illinois. Those movers arrived to IL even before I did. American Van Lines paid for my things to be held in storage until I arrived.

    The only hitch I experienced with the move was in IL (with the other company): the mover forced a long plastic bin through the doorway and it cracked. In any case, the Claims Department at American Van Lines is taking care of the issue. This was not the first or last time I will move my belongings with American Van Lines. I would highly recommend their services to anyone I know.

    American Van Lines moved me from Florida to North Carolina and I have to say it was a very smooth transition. The agent I worked with was very friendly, helped me to understand exactly what was going to happen during the move. The drivers were very pleasant, moved my furniture and boxes into my new home without any issues. I would recommend this company to anyone who has moving needs! I was very satisfied!

    I found that Aldo (the team leader) was absolutely great. I have no complaints. His team worked together smoothly and although moving is a very stressful experience, I found that Aldo and his team made my experience not only easy but in some cases, a "fun" experience. They worked extremely hard. I had steps in the old house which was difficult but there was no damage to any of my furniture or the walls. I would have no difficulty recommending American Van Lines to anyone moving. Thank you for putting together such wonderful movers.

    I hired American Van Lines to pack and move from Miami to Denver. They offered the best price but it was not only the price but the packing crew was very good. I only had one broken item and the driver called to tell me about that which I thought was very considerate. My household items arrived between their estimated time of arrival.

    Original Review: Sept. 7, 2014

    Called for a rate. Agent was very aggressive calling at least 3 times per week. Lowered the original quote by several thousand, red flag. Advised a driver would pick up our belongings on a Saturday, our lease was up and had to be out by Sunday. I had several questions after price was set on the Monday prior. No call backs, no news about a driver. Fortunately for me I did not sign a contract yet. I had to call another moving company to get answers to my questions. I was advised if my belongings did not fit on the truck, they would have to get another truck. Did not advise that would be extra, did not advise that coming into a townhouse community would be extra, did not advise 2 story home would be extra and did not give me a quote on the proper weight, which would have been extra.

    When I started calling the agent to answer my questions, my deposit was taken from my bank account that day. I had left several messages. I was told my deposit would be taken out when the driver arrived. The customer service rep was very rude, advised I could not speak with any other agent but the one that I dealt with... Rude and very disorganized. I give a perfect 5 stars to the service customer rep who was totally rude and loud. Thanks to her, I decided there and then that I would cancel my relocation move with American Van Lines and to the agent who never returned my calls, how do you sleep at night? American Van Lines is quick to take your deposit but after that.... DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. We ended up renting a Penske and did it all ourselves.... Probably saved a million dollars....
