    Do not move with this company.

    1) The bill estimate did not match the total cost. We did add three items (two boxes, one shoe rack) day of but we also got rid of queen mattress, queen mattress frame, 40 in TV. The mover looked at the three items (eyeballed it) and said that it would add 50 cubic feet and upped our total charge instead of measuring the actual cubic feet once in the vehicle. The first movers also told us we needed to pay 60% now and 40% at delivery... it was 50% and 50% when I called customer support. He lied.
    2) They moved our personal items from the original moving truck into an 18-wheeler, then charged us $1 per square foot ($480) to move into a U-Haul truck that would fit in our apartment complex. I'm unaware of any apartment complex that could sustain an 18-wheeler.... We were also never told that it would be different companies throughout this moving process.
    3) When trying to get a hold of customer service, the representative kept repeating that "it is in the contract" and when I asked for her to guide me to the portion of the contract that states the items would be moved into an 18 wheeler, she referred me to where it says "May move into warehouse." Not helpful.

    4) Upon delivery, there was only one mover. My husband had to physically help move items so the gentleman was not breaking his back.

    Overall, Don't use this company as it will be confusing and not helpful with stress during your move.

    I had a disappointing experience with Charter Van Lines. Bobby, one of their representatives, was extremely pushy. When I told him I wouldn’t be booking today, I wanted to look at reviews he hung up on me—a very unprofessional reaction. Additionally, the level of communication was overwhelming and intrusive: I received four emails within three hours and six phone calls within a few hours, starting at 6 AM. This aggressive approach made me feel uncomfortable rather than valued as a potential customer. I would not recommend Charter Van Lines based on this experience, nor would I contact them for any quotes based on Bobby's professionalism.

    Charter Van lines picked up my daughter's personal property from Ohio to move to North Carolina. It took 3 months. They would schedule a delivery date and then cancel last minute. They broke an entire box of dishes while loading the truck, this was never accounted for. Charter Van Lines customer service stated they would compensate at $50/day for each cancelled date. They then came back with a total of $50.00 compensation, then again came back with $0.00 compensation. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY!!!! This is by far the worst moving company ever, and it was not cheap. The customer service center refuses to be helpful. Mr. David Gray, the vice president, should be ashamed of his employees!

    My family and I moved from ME to NE and two guys helped us unload our 26ft moving truck quickly and efficiently. They listened about where we wanted certain items and were more than willing to move things around for us. Their customer service and attitudes were fantastic and we are very happy with the service we received!

    It was a real nightmare. They broke several furnitures and they subcontract another company nexrelocation. HORRIBLE! Stay away! Was stressful. Lack of professionalism and the initial price was raised 4 times and worst nightmare the deliver guy!!!! He was swearing all the time. They came 2 weeks later than agreed. Lies and more lies... They say will be at 7 am then 9 and finally show up later than midday. They lost items and broked another's.... Best advice stay away!

    This will definitely be my go-to company for handling relocations! I had a small studio apartment but a lot of fragile artwork to move, but their team treated each piece like it was their own. They carefully wrapped and secured them in double layers because of which when I unpacked, every single item was in mint condition! I’m so glad I chose them for this job!

    Charter Van Lines Inc guys went above and beyond during my recent move, despite a minor setback. Their truck unexpectedly broke down midway through the loading process. However, they remained calm and professional, immediately contacting a tow truck and arranging for a replacement vehicle. While waiting, they wrapped all my furniture and fragile items with bubble wrap and packing peanuts. The replacement truck arrived within an hour, and they wasted no time loading everything. Even with the delay, they managed to complete the move within the original timeframe. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

    From the moment I booked the service, I felt at ease. The customer service rep patiently answered all my questions. On moving day, the team of three showed up 15 minutes early. They coordinated seamlessly—one was wrapping furniture, another was loading, and the third was organizing items in the truck. They brought extra blankets and straps without charging me. My coffee table had loose legs, so they tightened them before moving it. They also double-checked the inventory list at the end, ensuring nothing was left behind.

    This moving company made it feel so easy! They were available on just two days' notice and called the day before to confirm everything. I have a baby grand piano, and I was scared about moving it. The movers were so careful, using special boards and padding to protect it. They tightened a loose piano leg for me! Every box was labeled and placed in the correct room. They didn’t rush, and by the end of the day, nothing was scratched or broken.
