    Rarely do I feel comfortable recommending a company based on my experience with them. I can however honestly and without hesitation recommend American Van Lines. My experience starting with my initial phone call, to the final delivery of my furniture was top notch. American Van Lines employees were professional, courteous, punctual, reliable, and dedicated to customer satisfaction. It was a pleasure to business with them.

    I was moving to Delray Beach Florida from Lake Worth Florida and used American Van Lines for the move. The guys did a good job disassembling and reassembling all the furniture, it was heavy. They moved the furniture with ease and I only ended up with a few scratches and dings, not too bad for the tight quarters they were working in. Overall very satisfied and will be using them again real soon. Thank you.

    Updated review: Sept. 28, 2015

    After submitting this review, the owner of the company contacted me right away about resolving some of the issues I had with our move. While I am still not one hundred percent satisfied, I feel they made a sincere effort to fix what could be fixed after the fact.

    I would recommend that anyone using American Van Lines (any moving company, actually) do their due diligence - learn from my experience and get guarantees in writing for as much as possible, be proactive, not reactive. They did get all my household goods to Oregon intact, and the driver and movers on both ends worked very hard.

    Original Review: Aug. 26, 2015

    I reviewed this company (and checked them through the DOT) and thought I'd chosen well for our interstate move. Before signing a contract the rep we dealt with was attentive but not pushy and always answered calls and emails promptly. That all changed once we signed. Calls weren't answered, and every time we did talk to someone we got a different story and were lied to repeatedly. For example, we were told we could only be given a three day pickup window and would be told the exact date about five days beforehand. The rep who told us she'd "let us know that day" never called back and wouldn't answer our calls. The coordinator was surprised we'd been told that and wanted to know who said it. We weren't told our pickup date until the day before the first possible date. The move was then contracted out to another moving company.

    We had underestimated the amount of boxes but the moving company never contacted us closer to the move to get a better count, plus they lowballed us on the weight by half - these guys are the professionals, so I don't feel I should have had to think of all these things - I don't move people for a living plus this was my first time using "professional" movers. I feel like it was intentionally low to get us to sign. The driver waited until the truck was loaded to tell us we needed to rescind our previous binding contract at which point we felt we had no choice but to sign (or file a hostage complaint with the DOT who said it might take months to get our household goods).

    We were pressured to pay by cash with the moving company telling us at one point that we HAD to pay by cash or cashier's check, and when we held our ground on paying by credit card we were made to jump through ridiculous hoops to pay that way (the $5,000 deposit only required sending a signed contract and verbally giving the card over the phone whereas the final payment required a DNA sample and signing over our firstborn - really, I had to send a copy of my license and the credit card and fill in forms and get an imprint of the card and was told to pay one company and then told I had to pay the other, was told final payment was after unloading then told nothing would be unloaded until we paid.

    The driver was three hours late the day of the pickup (otherwise I'd say he was good - we packed but he loaded and only a coffee cup was broken, just a fluke). Do yourself a favor - do not use this company. I've filed a formal complaint with the Department of Transportation and will be doing so with the Better Business Bureau as well.

    Updated review: Sept. 3, 2015

    Update to my August 25 review:

    After speaking at length with the owner of American Van Lines, we resolved the misunderstandings that caused that poor review. The primary points to consider are:
    1. American Van Lines is NOT a broker but a real household goods mover.
    2. It's critical that customers have a clear grasp of what they are moving as this affects many critical steps in the downstream process.

    I'm satisfied with the discussions and resolution of my complaints. Thanks to AVL for taking my previous comments seriously. It's fair to upgrade the rating accordingly.

    Original Review: Aug. 24, 2015

    American Van Lines (broker) booked our move late April with a "contract" to pickup about June 3 in TN for move to AZ. For 2 weeks prior, I could not get a firm commitment and calls were not returned, leaving the impression that AVL didn't know or wouldn't say when they would pack and load. After demanding and "negotiating" a date, the truck, driver and one helper arrived June 3. The moving crew were from a third party mover, dispatched by American Van Lines. The crew were in a tractor with no AC in the cab and their company would not fix it. They slept in the sleeper without AC in 90+ temps. We found later that the trailer leaked rain water, adding to our woes. The movers were dispatched to points east of TN instead of towards AZ. They eventually arrived in AZ 2 weeks after loading in TN. Our load turned out to be double the weight and cost compared to first estimated.

    American Van Lines relied only on a 15 minute phone call to establish the weight. One result of underestimate; truck was overloaded requiring items taken apart to fit into smaller spaces. This further added to damaged contents when they could not be reassembled or parts were missing (a former neighbor found fasteners and furniture parts in the lawn and mailed them to me). The crew had inadequate packing materials resulting in damage (example: Broken mirror simply wrapped in cardboard and taped - no other protection.)

    Over 40 items were documented by photos with damage, some of them eventually junked. Others will go to consignment or donation as not usable. There was damage to at least one piece of furniture in each of 3 room sets. The trailer leaked rain water and some wood furniture now shows that. The supplemental insurance promptly settled but after deductible and premium, net amount received was $500. Summary: Hugely underestimated weight/space, cost doubled, weeks of doubts about scheduling, mis-managed dispatching of truck/driver, badly maintained truck, inadequate packing materials, lots of damaged goods, poor communication from begin-end.

    From the first phone call to final delivery our moving experience was very professional. The pack up team arrived on time and used great care in packing and wrapping our items. Our bedroom furniture is very heavy and on the second floor - no complaining or comments, they just moved it. We stored our property in the American Van Lines facility in Pompano - it was really like two moves even so all of the packing boxes arrived in perfect condition. All of our furniture was well wrapped and arrived without a scuff.

    The delivery team arrived as scheduled and again were very professional and placed furniture in the locations I wanted. All beds were reassembled. After an unpleasant move with another company years ago I was dreading the long distance move. American Van Lines made it easy. I did have one small glitch and it was quickly resolved. I would use American Van Lines again without hesitation.

    I needed a good moving company to move me from Garner, NC to Asheville, NC. Since my company was not moving me, I needed a low-cost moving company with a great reputation. I searched the internet for such a company. I read excellent reviews about American Moving Company. They provided me with an estimate and able to meet my demands of packing in one day and delivering the next. I am happy to say they were able to meet my demands. Chad, DJ and Jessie took care in packing all my items, as if they were packing their own items. The following day Chad and Jessie brought my household goods to me. There was a problem with their vehicle and they call me to inform me they would be about an hour late on the delivery.

    I appreciate the thoughtfulness of the call which allowed me to run errors before they came. They arrived on time. I informed them where to place each of the items in my new home. They did it with ease and no damage to any of walls or furniture. They assembled all beds and place the furniture where I requested. Two hours later they were finished. All of my household goods arrived safely and nothing was broken. American Van Lines beat everyone's price and did a Triple A job. My next move will be with American Van Lines.

    I contacted American Van Lines and had received a so-called "Binding Estimate". I had contacted another very reputable moving company and they came to my home and did an on-site estimate. They were a little more expensive, and American Van Lines also moved our military troops, so I went with them. In the meantime, we sold a lot of furniture and moved a 16' truck load of furniture and pictures and other household items. I called and estimate was adjusted accordingly. Moving day finally arrives, and the first comment by the driver - only at my garage, "is there is a lot more than anticipated?"

    Bottom line - he tells me that I have approx 4,000 lbs more. REALLY?? So now he's trying to convince me that I have more weight than I did from very beginning (I have estimate from other company - who did on-site). I had no choice but to sign a statement (also stating "not under duress") that I agreed. At that moment, I realized I had to be out of the home in two days. Where was I going to get a mover especially to go out of state, on such short notice? I have two issues pertaining to this: so it's not a "binding estimate" seems to be the way they do business (contractor is independent - is not an employee of American Van Lines. I was promised a exact weight that night (driver stated he was going straight to weigh station after packing up) which never happened.

    Why is verbiage "not under duress" in their paperwork?? This is obviously been a problem. I do not want to cheat anyone from making an honest living. But I don't want to be taken advantage of. I called the office several times just trying to narrow down a delivery date. No return phone calls until I left a message leaving very few options. I was finally contacted by a supervisor giving me 12 hours notice of delivery (contract states - customer will receive 24-48 hours notice). Even after the delivery I contacted the office and a supervisor, stating the issue at hand, who promised time and time again to review my file and get back to me - never received a return call. I would not recommend this company and wonder how many other "unsuspecting customers" this has happened to. Bottom line - I've moved several times - even out-of-state and have NEVER had any issues, until now - with American Van Lines!!!

    I am satisfied with the resolution, and would recommend American Van Lines in the future.

    Original Review: Aug. 2, 2015

    We were moving from Texas to North Carolina. I had contacted American Van Lines to do the move, and received a non-binding estimate. They told me that since they had office locations in Dallas and North Carolina, I would not be charged the normal $450 shuttle fee at either location. This would save me $900, which was a key factor in making my decision. The first problem was with the dispatch. We I agreed to a time and date for pick-up with American Van Lines on July 20, 2015. They ensured me that someone would call, and confirm a time for the move. Little did I know, they had subcontracted the job to Puma Van Lines - who I would work with from then on. No one from Puma called prior to the pick-up date.

    On the pick-up date, I sat there from 8-2 pm, waiting for someone to contact me. About 2:00 pm Caser, from the moving team, gave me a call and let me know they would be there soon. The team of movers who picked up our stuff in Texas, led by Caser, did a very good job. They were quick, efficient and did a very good job. They were the only positive part of this experience. And, as promised I was not charge a shuttle fee consistent with the original quote I received.

    The delivery is when the major problems started. On Wednesday, July 29 I reached out to Puma Van Lines to receive information on the delivery date. Two days later, on Friday, July 31 I talked to a customer service representative at American Van Lines. He let me know the driver from Puma was approaching, and would arrive over the weekend. I asked him to confirm that no shuttle fees would be charged, and to provide an updated invoice for my record. He emailed an updated invoice, which I reviewed, and he told me this was the binding final invoice, and I would not be required to pay any additional amount. It is important to note that this invoice, along with all other prior invoices, had my moving destination. In the subsequent disputes, Puma has stated that they did not know the final destination of where my belongings would be delivered, thus the reason for additional charged.

    I talked to the driver on Friday and Saturday morning, and he never mentioned a shuttle fee either. However, then on Saturday afternoon at 4:51 pm, the driver called back to inform me that the moving order did not correctly reflect the shuttle fee which would have to be charged because an 18 wheeler could not make it into my community. He said I would have to pay an extra $800 to have my stuff delivered. I explained that this was not what was agreed to with American Van Line. He transferred me to the dispatcher, Javier, who told me that because American Van Lines closed at 3:00 pm on Saturdays, I could not dispute the charge until Monday - in which case he would be required to hold my stuff for 2 days at a rate of $750 a day. So he explained I could either start paying $750 a day holding fee, or I had to pay the $800 shuttle fee.

    The dispatcher, Javier, said that he was sorry but the matter was out-of-his hands and he was required to charge the fees since American Van Lines closes Saturday at 3. I find it very concerning that when I talked to them on Friday and Saturday during business hours, when American Van Lines was open, this issue was never raised. Instead, they waited until 1 hour after American Van Lines closed, and then tried to charge an extra $800.

    This is essentially extortion, and is highly unethical and unacceptable. The dispatcher said they needed to charge the fee to cover the rental cost of the truck. So, I offered to rent a truck (shuttle) for them, and to help transfer the goods myself. He said the driver still needed to be compensated for his time, so the fee would be reduced only by $100 dollars. Thus, I clearly know the truck only cost around $100, and the rest is just additional fees they are trying to extort from me. They are supposed to deliver this morning, and they are forcing me to pay in order to get my belongings back. I am fine paying the agreed upon amount in the final invoice, but am protesting the additional fees.

    Response from American Van Lines

    Thank you Mathew for updating your review of my company. I am sorry about the confusion you experienced with the billing. I am glad that you were ultimately happy with your service and would recommend us again. The review may have been premature since the shuttle was not needed anyways. It gives me a chance to explain what a shuttle charge is. For future American Van Lines customers who are reading this review, a shuttle fee is charged when an 18 wheeler (tractor trailer) can not get close enough to the pickup address or delivery address to make a pickup or delivery. Instead, we have to use a smaller truck to pickup your furniture and then transfer it to our bigger truck. Our estimators do a good job of including shuttle charges in our estimates when they are needed at pickup. Sometimes, at the time of the estimate, we do not get the delivery address and therefore can not include it in the original estimate. If a shuttle is needed at delivery, it is the customers responsibility to pay that charge. This is true for all van lines and it is called a post contract service. Please email me anytime if you have any questions, president@americanvanlines.com

    We moved from the Boston Area to Florida. Let me start by saying from my first conversation with William who set up the move for me I was given customer service plus. No false promises. He just wanted to make sure he could give me an accurate fair price. He followed up with me throughout the process. Then on moving day we met Lexis and his team and they loaded my house full of furniture and boxes on the truck, wrapping each item so carefully. They were polite, knowledgeable, professional and friendly which set us at ease. Moving is very stressful but not with Lexis and his team!

    I reserved American Van Lines on 4/23/15 for my move from NY to Florida on 5/20-5/22/15. Paperwork was completed and initial deposit was paid. As was initially discussed with the moving Specialist, it would not be an issue to add storage as long as notified early enough. Added the storage on 5/05/15. Paid the additional deposit. Called American Van Lines to confirm move on 5/18. No one called me on 5/20. I made 4 phone calls on 5/21 and was assured someone would follow up with me. No one did. 15 calls were made to them on 5/22. In several of these calls, I was disconnected. I was finally notified that there was not a truck available for my move. At this point, I left for Florida with my belongings still waiting to be moved. 5 calls placed to American Van Lines on 5/23. Another moving company/carrier: SMT moving was to move me on 5/24.

    They did not call or show up at the designated time, between 9 and 11 AM nor did I receive a call. Spoke with American Van Lines on 5/24, 3 times. Was provided with the other company's contact information and finally spoke with them. Rescheduled to pick up belongings on 5/25 between 9 and 11 AM. They did not show up again and a call was not received till later that day. Notified them that because of their poor service and lack of communication I would not be utilizing them. Spoke with American Van Lines on 5/26, twice. Was assured that I would be reimbursed and comped for the inconvenience. Requested to speak with a manager and was informed that they were assisting others but would follow up with me. I have never received a call nor was I comped for my inconvenience. I had to f/u again on 5/29 re: the reimbursement of my deposit.

    Again requested to speak with a manager and was informed that I would be contacted and the issue of the comp would be addressed as I had to pay additional rent to store belongings. No call received still and I have incurred $850 for storing my belongings. I will be contacting the better business bureau and I'm requesting this amount be paid to me. I am appalled at the lack of customer service in this company and I am sure that this review will be considered by people before they seek to retain your services.

    Updated review: July 10, 2015

    After writing my negative review, AVL contacted me and helped resolve this issue. One of the managers reviewed the telephone recorded conversations between my husband and the estimator. It seems as though the initial conversations for the estimate were based on weight however once we signed the binding contract, it was set as a flat rate - which wasn't clear to us at that time. The manager I spoke with was very accommodating, and refunded the difference in the weight plus a bit extra for our dissatisfaction. I appreciate the customer service on the tail end of the transaction.

    Original Review: July 6, 2015

    We chose American Van Lines because of their reviews and I am very unhappy and will not use them again. We spoke with the estimator, William, one week before our scheduled pick up window to update him on our inventory. We were quoted at 4858 lbs at a total of $3690.97. We prepaid $1845.48 of this upfront. We were told by William that we would be charged on our actual weight (i.e.: if weighed more, we would pay more, if it was less, then we would pay less) but that it was important to have an estimate beforehand to make sure there was room on the actual truck, given multiple pickup locations.

    The movers who handled our things were called Route 66 Van Lines. The main mover named Vladimir called us prior to picking up our things and was on time. He was very friendly and accommodating. No problems and all seemed well at that time. Once we arrived at our new home, I called AVL three times over 2 days to get an idea of when our things would arrive and was told each time I would be contacted and I wasn't. I did get an automated call (after business hours) saying our things would be delivered the next day. When Vladimir arrived, he informed us that our total weight was 4320 and our total due was $2454.58 - which was way over what it should have been.

    He called his "boss" who said to charge us this amount, and we could call AVL on Monday (this was a Fri at 8pm) and they would be able to refund us. Thankfully we had the funds on our credit card to pay for this but given the financial burden of moving, this could have easily not been the case. At this point, if we wanted our things, I had no choice but to pay the money. They were effectively ransoming our property. I called AVL on Monday morning and was told we would not be charged under our initial quote of $3690.97 even though we were underweight, unlike both what William and Vladimir had told us. The customer service representative said that we paid "per item" and that it was a guarantee estimate, regardless of the weight.

    Again, I am not sure how this is the case given the fact that our estimate documentation clearly has the weight listed and this was specifically discussed between us and William, the estimator. I went as far to ask if our weight was over our estimate, would we then have been charged over our estimation and was told no. I am quite confident this is not true. I feel honestly feel like this company was trying to get as much money as possible for this move, and they twisted and turned the "rules" to their advantage to be able to charge more.

    Per my calculations, I should be refunded the difference between the quote of $3,690.97 and the what was charged at delivery of $2454.58 = $609.09 (which is what AVL agreed to). PLUS the difference in the weight (4858 - 4320 = 538 x 0.60 cents) = $322.90 totaling $931.99. Based on my experience, it is not clear to me whether we were blatantly lied to by William the the estimator who gave us our quote (with the backing of our driver Vladimir) or by the customer service representative who tried to help with the refund.

    Either way, I am very unhappy with this process, the customer service, and overall organization with this moving company and will never use them again. Also given that many of my colleagues are going through similar moves of their own, I will definitely guide them away from this company. I would take the reviews online with a huge grain of salt. On a side note: Nothing important got majorly damaged during the move - many crushed boxes, scrapes and smudges on light colored furniture (which was cheap) but I would be worried about sending expensive furniture. I was surprised by this actually because the truck did look very well packed when it left my home.

    I have gone through 5 out of state moves as an adult and countless moves growing up as the son of a soldier. I can say without a doubt that my move with American Van Lines in the summer of 2015 was the best. We (wife, daughter, and myself) moved from North Carolina to Ohio and from start to finish AVL did exactly what they told me they would do. After all my online research I had 3 companies do an in-home estimate and felt AVL was the best company.

    My estimator, **, was excellent and honest and stayed in contact with me throughout the entire process, even pick-up and delivery days. The driver and crew were amazing. The same crew that picked me up also unloaded me. I did most of the packing but left the kitchen and some valuables to them. I am completely moved in and unpacked and can say that I did not lose any items and nothing was broken or damaged. If you have ever been moved by professionals then you know that is unheard of. I had a not to exceed estimate with the only variable being packing materials. The final cost for the entire move ended up less than my estimate because the packing material the crew used didn't exceed the estimated amount. I seriously cannot give a high enough recommendation for this company.

    The move was accomplished successfully. The loaders handled everything in an efficient manner and everything was delivered intact. The biggest glitch was that we provided American Van Lines with an estimate of the items to be moved which was too low. If the company had been able to send an inspector to verify their own estimate, I think the loading would have been more efficient. As it was the initial truck was too small and so the loading continued through another day. Nevertheless everything was handled well.

    Response from American Van Lines

    I apologize for the negative experience you incurred with our company, and for the delayed "public" response on our part.

    Your move was schedule to be picked up by 5/28/2015. We called you on 5/22/2015 at 11:18 am to inform you that we may be delayed and if you were flexible to move a little later. Unfortunately you were not flexible and had to be out because of a closing. By 11:52 am of the same day, you were able to secure another mover and we gave you a full refund. I am not sure what happened from the time we refunded you and your pickup date, because you said in your review you moved yourself. I have to assume our replacement mover didn't show up and you were forced to move yourself.

    This is in no way an excuse, but rather an explanation of facts.

    If we are still able to mend the issue in some way, I would be happy to come to a reasonable resolution with you. Please email me at president@americanvanlines.com .

    We hope to turn this negative experience around.

    I found both gentlemen to be easy to talk to and capable of moving our home furnishings. The inventory was done accurately and even when I needed to increase the size of the load due to some last minute decisions, ** worked with us to ensure everything would make the truck. ** was a very hard worker and hauled everything out of our home for staging and rarely took a break. Some larger items needed to be wrapped and he took care of everything. Once the truck arrived in Florida we were delayed due to bad weather in Tennessee and thankfully ** was able to delay by one day and have our furniture delivered the evening of our eventual arrival.

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.

    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.

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 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've moved many times. This is by far the best Co. I have ever used and I will always choose and recommend American Van Lines. Nothing was damaged or missing in my move. 99 boxes went on the truck and 99 arrived at my new home. I look forward to my next move thanks to American Van Lines.
