    Our experience with New Start has been a nightmare. It started with the sales representative, Antoine, omitting several of the items we told him from his initial volume estimate resulting in an inaccurate quote.Antoine also assured us there would be no surprises. We contacted New Start and we were told any discrepancies would be corrected when they contacted us 5-7 days before pick up. They didn't contact us until 3-4 days before pickup. That coincided with the last day we could cancel and get a full refund. The finalizing of our list with Susie resulted in a 35-40% increase in freight volume. When asked, Susie also assured us that our final delivery would be in 26 ft straight truck because a semi was too large for an urban delivery.

    The movers arrived and immediately informed us that the final delivery would be in a semi and if it couldn't be done, we would be charged 1$ a cubic ft for transfer to a smaller truck. In addition, the mover increased our volume by another 25-30%. Nothing had been added to our list from our conversation with Susie. Our bill has doubled from the original estimate. New Start hooks you with an inaccurate offer and drags you along making it more difficult to back out of bad deal. Stay away.

    Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We understand how frustrating it can be when pricing and logistics change close to a scheduled pickup, and we appreciate the opportunity to respond.

    New Start Relocation is a licensed moving coordinator (broker). All pricing provided during the booking process is disclosed as an estimate, based on the inventory information available at that time. Prior to dispatch, a quality-assurance review is conducted to verify item counts and shipment details. If the verified inventory differs from what was originally listed, adjustments may be required to reflect the actual scope of the move.

    Final shipment volume, equipment selection, and delivery logistics are determined by the assigned motor carrier at pickup based on the actual conditions encountered. While truck type preferences may be discussed during planning, carriers may use tractor-trailers or straight trucks depending on routing and availability. If a delivery location cannot accommodate the carrier’s equipment, accessorial services such as shuttles may apply in accordance with the carrier’s tariff and contract terms.

    We regret that the timing of communication and pricing adjustments made this process feel difficult and understand why this led to dissatisfaction. Feedback like yours is important and helps us continue improving transparency and expectation-setting throughout the moving process.

    Our experience could not have been worse than it was. We were moving across several states and started way early so we would not be dealing last minute on anything. We were given a very fair price upfront based on our honest answers to his questions as to what we have to move. We signed a commitment based on his quote.

    Three days before our move (when it was too late to change) he called and asked for a list of a Every box and each piece of furniture with dimensions. After that our price went up nearly three times his original quote, but we had no choice, we had to be out of our house. Then when the truck got to our house the drivers wanted to raise the price considerably more again. We waited nearly thirty days for the furniture to arrive, and when it did we had several items damaged, of which some could be repaired and some could not. Still waiting for resolution on that. I would never recommend New Start Relocation or Stanford Van Lines to anyone needing relocation assistance. Contrarily, I would say use anyone else but them.

    Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We are sorry to hear that your move was stressful and did not meet your expectations.

    New Start Relocation is a licensed moving coordinator (broker). Our role is to assist with estimates and coordination, while the physical pickup, transportation, and delivery of household goods are performed by the assigned, licensed motor carrier.

    All quotes provided during the booking process are disclosed as estimates, based on the inventory information available at that time. Prior to dispatch, a verification process is conducted to confirm item counts, shipment details, and service requirements. If the verified inventory differs significantly from what was originally estimated, adjustments may be necessary. Additionally, the motor carrier determines final shipment volume and any required services at pickup, and revised charges must be reviewed before loading proceeds.

    Regarding delivery timing, interstate moves operate within estimated delivery windows governed by federal regulations, carrier routing, and consolidation. We regret that your delivery took longer than expected and understand how disruptive this can be.

    We are also concerned to hear about damage to your items. Claims involving loss or damage must be submitted directly through the motor carrier’s claims process, as the carrier has custody of the shipment during transport and delivery. Our customer service team can assist by providing the appropriate documentation and carrier contact information to support resolution.

    We appreciate you bringing these concerns forward, as feedback like yours is taken seriously and helps reinforce the importance of transparency and communication throughout the moving process.

    My first conversation with the company went well, so I gave them a contract. Everything after I signed has been an absolute joke. A few days before my pickup, I got a call from someone in their company to go over details. He called me stupid for not knowing the logistics of a service that I've never used, and told me he could tell I was autistic because of how I was speaking to him.

    The company they contracted with to pick up my stuff changed their arrival time three times within 24 hours of the scheduled pickup, ultimately arriving late, and they didn't have the most up to date manifest, so they only sent one guy instead of the three I had been told would be there. He managed to get one other guy, who we had to wait for since no one had been prepared, and then they asked me for help moving some objects, and told me that they flat out wouldn't move some of my things that I had gone over with the dispatcher earlier that week. So I didn't get the service I was paying for.

    Now, a month later I have had to call every week to get an idea of when my things might be delivered. I was told they would hold my things for up to a month if I needed it, but that longer wouldn't be profitable. I had told them I could get my stuff delivered as soon as possible. Earlier this week, I was told I would get my possessions delivered by the end of the week, and to call Thursday if I hadn't heard from the dispatcher. I called today, Thursday, and was told my delivery will be in 5-6 business days. Every interaction I have with this company has made me angrier than the last, and I just want my things. I've already paid thousands of dollars, but apparently being a paying customer doesn't matter, and I'll get my things whenever they feel like it. Zero professionalism. Zero integrity. And I'd give them zero stars if that was possible. What a joke of a company.

    New Start Relocation does not forge customer signatures or alter documents.

    We had a terrible experience with the company where they gave a quote of $4000 to move from Pike Road, AL to greater Houston area but they cheated us by reducing the number of items and trying to add more money. One Mr Lawrence ** who took the order declined to answer my calls and refused to help us. Driver was very RUDE and he didn’t even let us to speak or try to help us. Finally we ended up canceling the service and went through a lot mental trauma! We were forced to seek help from our friends and some local folks to move out our heavy furniture and everything to a Storage Center. The company is fully responsible for our mental stress and physical agony we went through on July 13 and 14 until we shifted our stuff personally! So I never and ever recommend this company!😡😡😡

    I have ZERO complaints about the work done. They packed & moved me great. The issue I DO have is with all the hidden fees & maybe slightly deceptive tactics. I was told the day before I was set to have the movers come & pack me up that "I didn't have enough space & to add more space to my move". NOT sure how this can happen when they have an inventory of all my stuff. They are the "professionals" & should know how much space is required. So I purchased the extra space to be safe. Once the movers came & saw all my items, they too told me I don't have enough space & need to add MORE. So I did, what am I to do in that moment? I needed to move.

    The man who packed up told me "see you Monday or Tuesday" only to find out he is not supposed to give me a day/time he will arrive because they have to RESCHEDULE my delivery with a new set of movers. My truck arrived 3 days after I did. Again, no complaints with the movers themselves, they did a great job. But I was also told that I would be charged for stairs, something that was NOT told to me at ANY point until that moment. Again, I just had no choice. So in short, my move that I thought I was getting great discount on actually went up almost x4 of my originally paid quote.

    It started out great working with Madison who seemed helpful in the beginning. She gave us our quote and listed all items that we needed moved from Minnesota to Ohio. I called a few times with questions on arrival and delivery dates was told no problem well that wasn't true she never once mentioned it could take two weeks to get our stuff. The quote she gave me was nothing near what I was charged it was almost double so beware!

    I called and asked how this could change so much and was never given an answer other than it goes by the square footage. I understand that but you gave a quote of what I had and even removed items so I should have been charged less! Very unprofessional in the end. I would never recommend them as the brokerage company who hired Cross Country Long Distance Movers who are absolutely horrible. Please be cautious if you use either company. New Start is quick to turn the blame on others. I feel that their estimates are low balled so you fall into the trap of hiring them and get taken advantage of in the end.

    Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re sorry to hear that your move did not meet expectations and that the process felt frustrating.

    New Start Relocation is a licensed moving coordinator (broker). All pricing provided during the booking process is disclosed as an estimate, based on the inventory information available at the time. Final charges are determined by the assigned motor carrier at pickup based on the actual shipment size, space used, and services required. If items are added, removed, or measured differently at pickup, pricing may adjust accordingly.

    Regarding delivery timing, interstate moves operate within estimated delivery windows, not guaranteed dates, and are subject to carrier routing, distance, and scheduling. We regret if this was not communicated as clearly as it should have been and understand how unexpected delays can be disruptive.

    We also take concerns about professionalism and communication seriously. While the motor carrier is responsible for the physical move and delivery, feedback like yours is reviewed internally to help improve transparency and expectation-setting throughout the booking process.

    If you would like your account reviewed further, we encourage you to contact our customer service management team directly.

    VERY displeased with the service. STILL do not have my items. I was not aware this company is only a broker. They are not the ones picking up. I was told I would receive a call the day before pick up. I was actually called TWICE and was informed pick up would be the following day between 11 and 3 on 7/1. At 11:30, the day I was scheduled, I called to get an update on the eta, and was informed pick up would actually be the following day (7/2). I explained this put me in a bad situation, as I ended up paying an extra day of storage because of this error on their part & was told the movers would be there first thing in the morning of 7/2.

    On 7/2, I called and was told the movers would be there between 10am and 1pm.

    When I arrived at the pick up location, I called again and was told pick-up would now be between 1 and 3 now. I then received a call from the drivers stating it would now be after 4 pm. Another call back from the drivers stating they were delayed once more and would FOR SURE be there by 5:30. They finally showed up some time after 6pm. I was also told by the broker I could pay a portion of pick up by credit card - this was NOT the case. The movers had already loaded my items when I found this out and threatened to unload my items if I could not pay. (Had I known, I would have had cash in hand!). They finally helped me pay by VENMO.

    Also, when I initially called and signed the contract with them, I listed the items that would be picked up. I was told if there were any additions to just call them back. Once I finished packing, I had a few small items to add to the load. I called and was informed it would not be an issue, since I barely had enough items to make the minimum load. This was NOT the case, as the movers upon pick up mentioned several times there would be an additional charge. (The added items were a walker, crutches, a knee scooter, 2 plant stands, and a printer.) I was also informed the drivers picking up would be taking all my items to storage, and another moving company would be picking them up to be delivered. (This was news to me - was not ever mentioned when I signed up initially). On 7/7, I called to find out if I could get a ball-park eta when the items would be delivered and was told they had 14 business days to deliver.

    On 7/14, I called again for an eta, and was informed the VENMO payment was showing on hold. I pulled up the VENMO and it showed 'completed' on my end as of 7/2, and the funds were removed from my bank account on 7/3. I was told I needed to call VENMO and they would call as well. I did call VENMO and was told on the receiving end there was a hold & the movers (I VENMO'd) would need to call to see when the hold would be released - VENMO could not give me this info due to 'privacy' laws. I then called for the 3rd time that day and was told the representative just didn't have a chance to call and work it out with VENMO. I am STILL waiting for my items, and a call back letting me know when & if they would be released. I will be filing a lawsuit, as well as reporting to the BBB. UNACCEPTABLE SERVICE!!!

    Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We sincerely regret the frustration and inconvenience you have described and understand how stressful it is to be without your belongings.

    New Start Relocation is a licensed moving coordinator (broker). While we assist with booking, estimates, and coordination, the physical pickup, transportation, storage, and delivery of household goods are performed by the assigned, licensed motor carrier. We regret if this distinction and the possibility of storage or multiple handling stages were not clearly understood at the outset.

    Regarding pickup timing, arrival windows are provided as estimates based on carrier routing and availability. We regret that the repeated changes to the pickup schedule caused additional expense and inconvenience and understand how disruptive that can be.

    All pricing is disclosed as an estimate based on the inventory information available at the time of booking. If items are added, removed, or reclassified at pickup, the carrier may assess revised charges. Payment methods accepted at pickup and delivery are determined by the motor carrier, and we regret any confusion surrounding this process.

    We are also concerned to hear about the delay in delivery and the payment processing issue you described. Interstate deliveries operate within estimated delivery windows governed by federal regulations, and our team continues to follow up with the carrier to obtain updated delivery information. Customers with unresolved payment or delivery holds are encouraged to contact our customer service management team directly so the account can be reviewed and escalated appropriately.

    We understand your frustration and appreciate you bringing these concerns to our attention. Our goal is to assist with communication and resolution wherever possible.

    The salesman persuaded me to sign a contract for $5000, promised me everything would make it in the move and that he was giving me additional space on the truck just in case. Even though I was concerned, and we poured over pictures and talked on the phone, he said it would all be OK. When the truck arrived, a different company, they wanted an additional $1600 to move all of the promised contents. And they would not load the truck unless I agreed to the additional $1600. When I tried to contact the sales rep at New Start Relocation, he would not take my calls, and I was given to a customer service rep, who just reiterated the need to pay an additional $1600. This is a total scam. I refused to pay their ransom money, and half of my contents were left behind because of it. Please do not use this company, they will promise you the moon and when it comes down to it, your agreed upon contract is worthless.

    We contracted with New Start Relocation for our move from our house in Rockland County, NY to Bergen County, NJ (approximately 25 min distance). We were referred to them by Wheaton Moving after a great experience I had with Wheaton during an interstate move many years ago. During the intake process New Start was very thorough. They did a Face Time walk through of our 2000sq ft house and then prepared an itemized list of our belongings which was accurate. Even though we packed a lot of our stuff, we paid to have New Start pack our things. They explained how our things would be packed, peanuts, bubble wrap, picture/TV boxes for tvs, computer monitors and paintings, etc.

    We contacted them multiple times prior to our move with questions and they were always responsive. We paid a $3k deposit and they informed us we would owe the balance of $4k once the movers showed up. They explained based on how many boxes were ultimately used we could owe more or less. New Start outsourced to East West Movers in Paterson, NJ and they showed up with a 28ft truck and 3 guys to move my entire house. They said the office quoted them a smaller cubic footprint and our stuff wouldn’t fit in their truck. They said it would cost $9k not $4k to pack our stuff and had to call a second truck, which ended up being a U-Haul rental. Then after 2 hours of packing they said they had to increase price to $12k especially since they were dropping half of our stuff to our storage unit and the other half to our new apartment. They said all of this should have cost $20k so we were getting a significant discount.

    When our stuff arrived (at our storage unit and our new place) many things were broken or poorly packed: the arm of our teak patio chair was broken, a freestanding vanity mirror had both legs broken off, a free standing coat rack had 2 of 4 legs removed and a hook missing, the contents of our bathroom were dumped at the bottom of a garment box with clothes that fell on liquids that were leaking, our kitchen oils and vinegars leaked all over a box, my iMac computer screen packed on a cushion, wall art was also packed loose in boxes on furniture cushions and the list goes on. The most disappointing was that my teenage son’s Lego models that took hours were just thrown in a box after we were told they would be carefully wrapped and packed with peanuts. I’m also concerned that since most of my stuff is in storage I may continue to find damage once I ultimately take everything out of storage.

    The movers also left some damage in the house we moved out of and left furniture that we clearly had marked “Storage.” Please beware that many of these moving companies are subcontracting out to companies that are not good and will hold your stuff hostage until you pay prices that feel made up. They know they have you in a tough spot. To add insult to injury New Start Relocation offered us $250 as reimbursement.

    We are disappointed with this stressful interstate move. Aside from the little communicate from New Start Relocation (once the contract was signed) as I had to reach out to NSR and to the direct moving company (All in Moving) multiple times to get info (dates, times, etc.) on our interstate move, to the multiple, expensive items damaged upon arrival—some items not even wrapped/protected (claim was submitted and got pennies back for over $2k worth of damages--their insurance is a joke), and finding out that our belongings were moved to 4 different locations/trucks (when it was only suppose to be a max of 2), I have issues with some of the missing discounts, last-minute charges, and uninformed cost increases.

    I have expressed my concerns to Jacob, Sami (All in Moving), and New Start Relocation Customer Service throughout my interstate move (with no acknowledgment or resolution) about the estimates and invoices from both New Start Relocation and from "All in Moving." The estimates from both Jacob and Michael that were discussed and emailed, do not appear in the document to sign. Why? What happened to the discounts? The discounts don't appear on the "All in Moving" invoices either. Why weren't these discounts applied? Were they purposely taken off when the final docs to sign were sent? No one from NSR responded to my inquires sent and phone calls made.

    The "All in Moving" invoice has a hefty $1000 charge for "Bulky Article Handling". This is such a large additional fee that was NOT mentioned by anyone at any point during the estimate, updated inventory, or even the physical in-person walk through. Instead it was added on AFTER all of our belongings were on the truck. This is not fair nor justified as we are also being charged more cubic square footage as well for these bulky items, so we were hit twice. We were not even told what items are "bulky". This is deceitful.

    This concern/issue with this additional $1000 bulky item fee aside, there are other issues with the invoices from "All in Moving." The first "All in Moving" invoice that was signed by my husband was incorrectly added by "All in Moving" (a $1200 "mistake"). I was the one who had to call them out on this error. Then the second invoice was created AFTER the movers left our property without us knowing there was a second invoice being created. This invoice has additional cubic square footage added. This invoice was NOT nor verified by us. This is, again, deceitful and poorly handled. We had to go through our credit card company and file a complaint for being overcharged without written or verbal authorization.

    We were expecting New Start Moving to address these issues mentioned above, but radio silence after multiple calls and emails. Moving companies will change their names or have multiple names for the reason of reviews like these. Moving is stressful enough and moving brokers and moving companies take full advantage of these situations--especially interstate moves.

    New Start Relocation is a licensed moving coordinator (broker).

If the carrier determines at pickup that additional services apply—such as bulky article handling, increased volume, multiple stops, or accessorial requirements—revised charges may be presented in accordance with the carrier’s tariff and contract terms. We regret that certain charges and invoice changes did not feel clearly explained or reviewed to your satisfaction.

    Regarding damages, loss, or insurance reimbursement, these matters are handled through the motor carrier’s formal claims process, as the carrier maintains custody of the shipment during transport and delivery. We understand your frustration with the outcome of the claim and encourage customers to continue pursuing documentation through the appropriate carrier channels when disputes remain unresolved.

    We understand your frustration and apologize for any inconvenience you’ve experienced. However, it’s important to clarify that the initial details required for your pickup were not provided to us at the time of booking. Once we were made aware of the specific parameters that affected your pickup, we acted promptly by canceling the move and issuing a full refund. That refund was processed on June 4th, immediately upon recognizing the logistical issue. We respectfully believe that a 1-star review may not accurately reflect the service you received.

We were quoted $11,000. which then changed to $16,500. The day before pickup and went to $26,000 once the movers got there. Also, they didn't even have the room in the trucks for what they were charging us for, but since New Start is just a broker, they were no help at all, and we had to be out of the house that day so we couldn't go with another company. Now we are ready to have our stuff delivered and they cannot tell me where it is, when they will be loading it back on a truck or any type of time frame for delivery, just that they have 30 days from your first available date of delivery to show up and unload.

    I wish there was such thing as a 0 star. If I’m writing this review then someone screwed me over BAD!!! I never take time for reviews but this one here was needed… to urge people not to make the same mistake I did. Oscar, you’ll get yours one day and that’s on God’s child. To play with people’s lives like this?! You’ll get yours.

    To make a long story short, this company is a broker agency with agents like Oscar that do not care the length they have to go to to make you sign a contract with them. Oscar and us (my husband and I) agreed on a price which later we were charged more when the movers (which is a separate company) arrived to pick up our thing trying to leave behind things that were listed on the list of things to take. Extra things we paid for. Then while Oscar told us that our things would take no more than 3 days from the pick up day to arrive to our new house, here we are week 2 of wearing the same underwear and no update whatsoever from the movers nor Oscar who ignores my calls now. You just don’t play with ppl like that.

    We’re just ready to get our things and get this nightmare over with. I took a week off my travel nursing assignment to take care of this matter based on the 3 day delivery said to me now I’m over 2 weeks in, returned to work, and now have to get back in the plane, take more days off work to come unpack whenever they decide to show up.. please save yourself the headache

    After a positive interaction with New Start Relocation, Wilma increased their star rating on Nov. 12, 2025.

    Updated review: Nov. 12, 2025

    A representative from New Start Relocation, Luiza, called me today to talk to me about my experience with the company when I moved from California to Charleston SC in June 2025. Before today, I have frankly gotten over that nightmare of my move. But Luiza patiently listened to my story of what happened and she apologized in behalf of her company. She told me that the company is under new management and they are reaching out to previous customers who had bad experiences with their move, and apologizing and offering some compensation for the bad experiences.

    She told me that the representative who helped me before has been fired. I thought that is very noble of their management to do that, to take accountability for previous mistakes or errors and try to make it right going forward. Luiza talked to me on the phone for more than half an hour, and she never tried to rush me or dismiss my opinions. I accepted her offer of some compensation for my bad experience.

    I cannot turn back time or hit a redo button to change my experience, but I felt a lot better after talking to her today, because she told me that the new management want to improve their services going forward. Moving is very stressful, and I wish for those who are about to move using moving companies to have better experiences. I am giving them, especially Luiza, 5 stars today.

    Original Review: June 23, 2025

    I gave this company one star. If I can give a zero star, I would however there’s not a choice for that. I was having second thoughts about getting professional movers to move my very little stuff that I have from California all the way to Charleston, South Carolina. I called this company and I talked to a representative. His name is Oscar **. This man is a liar. He is just like a car salesman. He will tell you everything that was good with their company and promises you the moon and the stars. And then he underestimated my belongings and he promised me that my belongings would be delivered in 5 to 7 days, which is the reason why I chose them. So two days before the move, I was calling him because the quality control called me and they said if I added more to the original estimate, it was gonna cost me $5000 more dollars.

    I have not gotten any help at all from this Oscar ** because ever since then that I tried to call him he will never answer the phone and I have left several messages and he never returned my calls. On the day of the move, first class Movers moved my stuff and they had left several of my belongings that was in the original quote because they said they did not have room because obviously this Oscar **, underestimated my cubic feet on the belongings that I told him what I have. I stuck with the original estimate because I do not want to pay anymore Money on what they are charging me.

    First class Movers picked up on a Friday and I requested for my stuff to be delivered when I got to Charleston the following week on a Saturday. I got an email from first class Movers that the requested date that I put is not the guaranteed date. They said that is the start of the window which could be up to 30 days. So when I got to my apartment in Charleston, I did not have anything. I had to go to the store and spend over $1000 just to get the basic things so I can Live in this apartment that I moved into.

    I called the first class movers customer service the following Monday and they said they do not have any date that they can tell me when my things would be shipped. She said it shows that it has not shipped yet, but it could take 30 days. This is such a nightmare. I do not recommend to get this New Start Relocation and frankly, I am disappointed with the first class Movers as well. The workers were really good, but the first class Movers‘ company customer service is not very helpful to me either. If I have a redo button, I would have never went with this moving company: New Start relocation and First Class movers.

    If I could give zero stars, I would. My move from Cleveland to Dallas with Stanford Van Lines and New Start Relocation has been nothing short of a nightmare. What was promised as a 7-day delivery turned into more than 30 days of stress, lies, and radio silence. Let’s start with Scott from New Start Relocation – who initially came off as professional but completely disappeared the moment my items were picked up. No updates, no answers, no accountability.

    Then there's Helen and the entire team at Stanford Van Lines – utterly incompetent and evasive. Every time I called, I was given different stories, promises of call-backs that never happened, and no timeline for when I could expect my belongings. I was left in a new city with no furniture, no essentials, and no idea where my things were.

    To make matters worse, they tacked on an additional $2,500 over the originally agreed-upon price – with no justification. Just take it or leave it, because they knew they had my items hostage. This is extortion, plain and simple. This experience has been emotionally and financially draining. I wouldn't wish it on anyone. Save yourself the heartache and choose a company with integrity. Stanford Van Lines and New Start Relocation are the worst in the business.

    Overall I guess it was just ok. CONS - 1) the price changed every time I spoke with them. 2) Once they came to pick my items up - I ended up having to leave quite a bit of stuff because the fee was going up quite a bit again. 3) I had provided my delivery date - they called to change it to a day earlier (which was okay). I was told they would arrive by 11AM, so I rearranged my schedule to be available. At 10:50 I got a call that the delivery time would be 5PM. Day WASTED. 4) The delivery crew had what appeared to be a 14-15 year old with them. 5) A lot of the boxes had been broken. 6) The (kid) slammed my nightstand into the corner of the wall. 7) No follow up call on how it went.

    I had a very unfortunate experience with this company and would not recommend their services. While their initial estimate may seem competitive compared to other moving companies, you will end up paying at least double the quoted price. The pick-up will occur after office hours, leaving you without any support to address the pricing discrepancies. The office staff will claim that the pick-up team can provide information on the expected delivery date, but this is false. You will struggle to get hold of anyone to provide this information. The delivery will be delayed by at least a week beyond the promised date. The salesperson who booked your move will disappear, and the office will inform you that they are no longer with the company. The office staff is highly unprofessional, and if you booked with this company, unfortunately, you were played.

    This was the worst decision I’ve ever made. These people straight lie to you over the phone to get you to sign their contract and have you think they are the ones actually moving your stuff and it’s all baloney. They quoted me 2.5k to move my stuff and told me it would take 2-3 days to deliver. After that, my pickup date was pushed back when I needed to vacate my apartment by a specific date. When the movers arrived, I ended up having to pay over 4k for the move.

    The movers damaged my apartment and it’s been about 3 weeks and I have not heard anything from the company they hired to move my stuff nor they answer any phone calls. They told me it can take up to 14 business days now and I have NOTHING at my new apartment after having to spend a fortune for the movers. Currently sleeping on the floor this whole time and eating ramen noodles because I don’t have anything to cook with. This is a living hell. I will NEVER hire movers again in my life.

    Update: New Start kindly reached out to resolve the difficulties we had with moving. They informed my family that they were under new management and deeply apologized for issues that we had using their services. They also checked in regarding damages during the move and offered to make it right. They were kind, patient, and respectful when communicating, understanding that our initial experience was not good. Hopeful for new customers.

    Do NOT use this company for your move. They are a brokerage firm and hire the movers for you first of all so you’re paying for a middle man. Second of all, they take absolutely no responsibility and are extremely unhelpful and lie constantly. They were not transparent at ALL about what delivery dates would look like and made it seem like we would agree on a date and my items would be delivered on that date or within a reasonable window when we were making the sale. Well I have moved and it has been TWO WEEKS since my items were picked up and I still have nothing and no clue where my things are.

    Every time I call they bs me and tell me a day or two. On Monday they said for CERTAIN 2-4 days and the movers would call me within 24-48 hours. Well tomorrow is Friday and still no call. I called today and their customer service was no help at all. They do not care. Save yourself the stress. If I could go back I’d just drive a U-Haul across the country.

    I can NOT leave a bad enough review. This company was absolutely HORRENDOUS. First I got a quote of 1900. Awesome! Then I was told they would pick my belongings up on a certain day between 2 and 6. No communication or update until I called them and after 3 attempts finally reach a person. Then they tell me their pick up guy is running late. And he won't be there between 7 and 9. I asked if I could sign a POA as I needed to leave that day. They sent me the paperwork to do so. Well they didn't show up till 10 pm. When I had my initial phone quote they asked if I lived upstairs and told me there would be a fee for that. Okay, cool. I made my initial payment including that fee over the phone the day I hired them. When they showed up to my place they told my husband he needed to move all the furniture down the stairs and he HAD to pay them under the table if he wanted them to help.

    THIS WAS LITERALLY INCLUDED IN THE INITIAL PAYMENT. I was also told I would have my belongings in a week. Well surprise surprise that was another lie. They also tell my husband when they're over it will be 9 to 21 business days till I have my belongings. Fast forward to the day before I'm suppose to have my belongings they tell me I'm SOL. When I bring up to the person I called what happened with my husband they tell me well that's the owners best friends or son or something and he wouldn't do that. WELL HE DID!! They then proved to add 100 bogus charges. My original apartment didn't work out and I was moving THREE POINT ONE miles away. They tried tacking on a charge for moving greater than 10 miles from the original location?!? Then they told me they were moving a lot of other people's belongings and they had a 75 foot trailer. Newsflash they don't make 75 foot trailers!

    They tell me I have to cover the expense for them to get a rental truck so they can bring it into my apartment complexes because their semi won't fit. I asked my leasing office about this and I was told they have semis all day long in and out and even have parking for the semis!! When I relay this information MAGICALLY the guy has a friend who conveniently lives in the same apartments and tells me I'm a liar. When I call him out on it he goes well he lives in the same city. I don't know about y'all but I have lived in decent cities most my life just like the one I am in now.. there are so many apartment complexes it's dang near impossible to know every name let alone the layout of the streets inside the apartment complexes. I had a bunch if sentimental things they were moving. Things that belonged to my child when he was an infant. So of course I was going to pay whatever at this point.

    Well they end up ripping me off so bad I pay an extra thousand dollars! When they FINALLY drop my belonging off after moving my delivery date FOUR times most of my furniture is broken. How they manage to break straight metal is beyond me but they took absolutely no regard of my belongings. This is THE WORST company to ever hire. If it seems cheaper at first and that's why you do it don't worry they make their money back by ripping you off in other ways. Uhaul is honestly cheaper after they're done with you. Oh and guess what?! No compensation on my belongings either. Absolutely HORRIBLE from start to finish.

That’s all in the small print that we have up 21 BUSINESS days to deliver“ (which of course is over a month!). Utterly pathetic that they treat their customers this way. I kick myself every day for not going with another company who would have charged slightly more (but in reality actually less now based on what I ended up paying - at least that company wasn’t going to try do any dirty tactics like these guys).

    I was pressured into signing the paperwork in order to “get my shipment started to deliver next Friday” (Michael who took my deposit told me this) after that I of course was told the reality (by the rudest most condescending people in their office once they have your money) that it would in fact be many more weeks. Now of course I should have gone over the small print with a fine tooth comb, but the agent Michael was very convincing that my things would arrive next Friday and quoted their many great reviews which I now see as being fake along with every other reassurance.

    They are a broker and once they have your deposit they laugh and ridicule you, hang up on you, talk over you, just be downright nasty and rude. Plus after me supposedly (according to them) over estimating my sq footage (it’s a storage unit so there’s an exact space allocated!!) and being told not to worry (lol), I was then told by the movers the items were way more sq footage (again despite supposedly over estimating and giving exact measurements). Had to pay almost double as they hold your things hostage. Then the movers couldn’t make it up a hill and tried to charge an additional $1200 on TOP of the already double original quote. We ended up having to rent a truck to do it ourselves. Many items were also broken upon receipt. Weeks late. Just awful company. To summarize, the most rude, unpleasant, unprofessional and appalling company ever. Broken belongings, overcharged, late. Avoid at all costs.

    To the over 200 people who left New Start Relocation a one-star review: I owe you an apology. You were absolutely right! I should have listened. But I didn’t—and now I’ve paid for that mistake, literally and painfully. I’ve used multiple moving companies over the last decade. I’ve moved across states—from Indianapolis to Jackson, to Miami, to Springfield. Every move had its hiccups, sure—but nothing prepared me for the spectacular disaster that is New Scam Relocation. They’re not just bad. They’re in a league of their own—and the league is called Fraud & Failure.

    Let me be clear: this company is nothing more than a group of morons. They are either completely incompetent or a full-blown scam operation wrapped in a paper-thin disguise of legitimacy. Actually, let’s stop pretending—it’s both. The communication? Abysmal. Laughable. Insulting. I’ve attached an actual screenshot of a text exchange with one of their so-called “customer service reps” to prove just how low the bar is over there. After receiving one of the most ridiculous, unprofessional messages I’ve ever seen, I called them—only to have some guy named Jamie proudly suggest the solution was to… stop texting me. Brilliant! When you're coordinating a move, what better way to solve miscommunication than to eliminate communication altogether?

    Once they have your signature and your deposit, you are completely on your own. If anything goes sideways—and believe me, it will—you’ll be left scrambling to handle it yourself. Issues with the movers? The vehicle carrier? Good luck. They vanish like roaches when the lights come on. As for the estimate? Forget it. It's a classic bait-and-switch. They give you a “nice” number upfront. You sign. Then, halfway through the move, surprise! It’s magically $2,500 more. At that point, you’re trapped—either you pay or your stuff doesn’t move. That’s not business—that’s extortion. And it doesn’t end there. Car transport? Nightmare. Unloading? A complete joke. Customer service? Non-existent. Once they have your credit card for the deposit, the rest is cash only—because of course it is. No paper trail. No accountability. No decency.

    This company is not just bad at moving—they are a masterclass in total incompetence, unethical practices, and bottom-of-the-barrel service. I wouldn’t trust them to move a trash bag, let alone my life’s belongings. When I tell you they treated our belonging like garbage, I mean that in the literal sense. They put my wife's hanging clothes in the bottom of a large box and then literally dumped bathroom products on top of them! I'm talking about toothpaste, fingernail polish remover, and bathroom cleaners on top of clothes!! Who does this??

    To anyone considering using them: run. Don’t walk. Run far, far away. Unless your dream is to be overcharged, ignored, lied to, and robbed blind, do not go anywhere near New Scam Relocation. I’m currently trying to figure out if I can sue them. I’m not a lawyer, but I’m ready to find one, because what they’re doing shouldn’t just be called a “bad experience”—it should be illegal. Final word? This company is a disgrace. Save yourself the time, the money, the stress, and the regret. Never. Ever. Use. New Scam Relocation.

    *DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY.* They prey and take advantage of military families. Their estimates are not accurate even when a step-by-step recording is provided over the phone. They are shady and do not include a lot of items necessary for moving in their estimate (such as moving blankets that belong and stay with the movers). Then, it took them three weeks to receive a call back when the estimate DOUBLED in price the day the movers came to pick everything up (which was also a day late). Customer service is abysmal as Jaime (male) called to yell at us and say the movers would not lie (they added stuff in the master packing list to charge more as it was a military move-there is incentive to do this and if the added items on the list were actually correct, I would have a lot more stuff in my possession now).

    We called New Start Relocation multiple times in the span of three weeks, and they kept saying they'd get back to us which they never did until today (again, only to say yell at us and repeat the master list to us - not necessary we had copies and that was NOT the problem). When the items arrived a lot of our furniture was broken, and multiple items were never even DELIVERED! Now, we have to go through claims to get them either replaced or money back. Horrible experience. Horrible company.

    This process has been very frustrating. They never knew where my items were throughout the entire process and they were unable to uphold their side of the contract to deliver in 8 business days. They do not answer the phone and they are unwilling to work with their customers. The term customer service is not in this company's business model. I would highly suggest choosing anyone else. This has been the most frustrating experience and my items are still nowhere to be found. Might I add that it was a 4 hour drive to my new location so there should have been no issues at all.

    The experience we had with this company was a nightmare. Yes, they are very helpful and accommodating when getting you to sign their contract for service. Beware!!!! As told I would be contacted the day before a pickup date to confirm the date and time. Didn't happen. The contract they have with the company to pick up your items called and said the pickup was scheduled the next day which was not supposed to happened for 2 days. I told this company this was not possible as we were still packing and the original agreement was pickup for June 2 or June 3 - not June 1. When I objected I was told to call New Start about the change of dates. It was a weekend - they are not available on weekends and was connected with someone supposedly with New Start. I called to try and resolve the incorrect dates of pickup. Keep in mind that moving is a very stressful, especially when moving to another state.

    I told the person on call at New Start that moving up the pickup date was not possible. We were not ready. He put the question to me "you can't do the pickup tomorrow?" I said, with a little edge in my voice due to the circumstances, "No, we can't do that." He Hung Up on Me!! This was the employee at New Start whose job it was to assist me with the issue of early pickup. I texted this person back and stated that his customer service skills were not appropriate. He texted me back saying that I was bullying him and did not appreciate being called on his personal cell phone and talking with the panicky tone.

    The next day I was being texted and called by several different employees at New Start wanting to schedule the pickup. It was too late. As I was at a loss as what I needed to do since I could not talk and/or resolve the situation of early pickup because I was hung up on. I texted the original sales person and told them that I needed to cancel their services because they did not hold up their end of the deal AND was hung and unable to resolve the situation. Consequently, I needed to act quickly because we had to be out of our house which was sold. I had to rent a U haul immediately because of the inability to resolve any issues and could not wait until Monday to talk to someone that didn't hang up on me or refuse to communicate.

    I called on Monday morning and informed them that I could not wait and had to rent a U-haul and would like to cancel their services. The person on the phone was extremely rude, talked over me, and said billing would send me an email asking me to sign a statement and agree to any cancellation charges and discuss payment refund.! I got the email and had questions as to why they were keeping $1681 due to my cancellation. I called 2 more times and asked to speak with billing or a supervisor/manager and they refused to connect me to anyone. Both times I called the person was rude. I was denied access discuss the situation that led to my cancellation.

    I am filing a complaint with Consumer Affairs, Better Business Bureau, and any other organization I can to stop this company from continuing horrid business practices and not being given access to talk to anyone except the person who answers the phone. This company is a SCAM and needs to be held responsible for their deceitful and disgusting business practices.

    First of all I want to warn that this is a moving broker, not an actual moving company. They quoted me one price and it more than doubled when the movers came. They are incompetent at estimating your total cubic feet of furniture. They estimated 2200’ and the mover said it was actually 3300”. That made the price go up another $4000! They also said they were sending a 30’ truck. Nope, a 26’ truck which barely fit any of my furniture and none of the 100+ boxes we had. Storage fees, beware. I was quoted $250/month. Then I was told $1100 a month!! So, I am being charged $11,000 and still have to pay more movers to come pick up the rest.

    I learned too late that it’s best to use an actual moving company and skip the brokers. Almost half of that $11,000 went to the broker! Even though they had a detailed list of every item being moved and said it was no problem, Due to their incompetence it was a Huge Problem for us! Attached photo if from the receipt from the company New Start sent out.

    Horrible company. I was quotes extremely low for my move when I actually didn't even know we were working with a broker. We thought they were the moving company but no, they bid our work out and they chose a horrible moving company for us. US Safe Moving out of Las Vegas. The communication with this company was awful. I'd call and not receive a call back. The moving quote was extremely off even though I told them all the furniture and boxes I would be moving. I even ended up selling a large quantity of the big furniture before the movers even showed up. What I was told by this company was completely different when the movers showed up. They took my items and drove them to a warehouse in Las Vegas. Apparently they had to wait to have another job to the state I moved to. This was never told to me.

    I feel extremely used by this company. I cried several times because of all the issues I dealt with. This company does not care about their customers one bit. I was supposed to be excited about the move and my new life in a different state but all this company did was cause anxiety and tears. The biggest problem I have is the amount I paid versus the amount I paid in the end. Huge unexpected costs that were out of my hands. I now am dealing with the moving company with a claim of all my items that were damaged in my move. This whole process was a nightmare and I wish we just did the move ourselves.

    If you have an alternative, please don’t use New Start. Customer service and satisfaction is an alien concept to these guys. I moved from Atlanta to Charlotte. Went through an inventory twice. These guys will nickel and dime you. Signed up for 50 boxes. They counted an iron board and iron box as two pieces. Coffee table and the glass top as two pieces. Small bags like a backpack, they wanted to count. A small wire rack, about 2-3 pounds in weight, counted as an item. I ended up moving about 20% of my stuff on my own. All they wanted to do was charge another $300.

    My dining chair had its legs broken in a prior move. I asked them to disassemble the legs off the table and they refused. I disassembled them myself. I had a few more stairs than the fine print. They added another $225. New Start said the vendor (Source 1) would bubble wrap furniture. The movers didn’t bring any. On the receiving end, I was moving to a storage unit. So no stairs, unpacking or installation. Yet these guys wanted to charge $125 more because the unit was a few feet more away than the 75 feet. I ended up moving most of the boxes into the storage unit myself. Over the past 40 years, I have moved 8 times, including twice internationally. This has been, by far, the worst experience.

    I spoke with this moving company while planning a cross-country move and I can can't warn people enough to stay away from this company. The sales rep I spoke with was very friendly and professional and they provided a competitive quote. Once you sign the contract, that is where the problems begin. I was told the movers would be at my place on a Friday and I would be contacted 5-7 days before the date to confirm details. Fast forward to the date of loading and I had not heard from anyone. I contacted the company and was told they wouldn't be there until late in the day on Saturday (I had originally planned to leave on Saturday morning and had to push everything back to accommodate).

    When the truck did arrive, there were two people who rushed me through some paperwork and asked me to confirm the delivery date, which I did multiple times on a document that I have yet to receive a copy of despite being promised by multiple people that I would receive one. One of the people who was there to load spoke no English and the other person spoke a very minimal amount of English - no shade, it just made the situation much more confusing because they were unable to answer any questions I had. The one who could speak a little English told me I had too much stuff and stuck his cellphone in my hand. I spoke to another non-English speaker who said that my allocated space was much less than what I actually had in the apartment (despite being sure not to overpack) and sticking to the original inventory as closely as possible.

    Meanwhile, the person on the phone was unable to give me a new quote until the truck was loaded, but I was assured that the additional cost would be not be substantially higher. Truck gets loaded and guy hands me his phone again. Person I talked to previously says that my new quote is almost double my original quote and it was calculated by looking at a photo texted to him by the people loading the truck. Essentially they load the truck, snap a photo, and make a guess about how much space it takes in the truck. Being surprised by this new amount, I contacted New Start where I spoke to a rep who was very rude and told me that's how it works and if I don't want them to take my belongings I can have them unload. Having no other option, I had to pay a substantial amount at that immediate moment, but was told for the first time that the payment must be in cash or Postal Money Order.

    I had expected to pay with a credit card and was adamantly told I could not pay with a card. When I said I had nowhere near that amount of cash on hand and no possibility of getting a Postal money order at 7:30p on a Saturday night, I was given the option to pay electronically through Zelle. I was told I would receive a copy of my paperwork and the loading crew left. Being concerned about the loading process and how the revised quote was devised, I called and spoke with another person at New Start about my concerns. The individual I talked to was as condescending and disinterested as the previous customer service rep and didn't acknowledge my concerns at all. He promised me he would review the estimate and call me back as well as send me a copy since I had not received one. I have yet to have any follow-up communication with that person.

    Fast forward almost a month and I got a phone call about delivery and I am told that the delivery date I specified multiple times was not an actual delivery date, but an "earliest delivery date" with actual delivery likely being 5-7 days later. My family had planned our entire move around our arrival date and two days before we arrive at our new place we find out that we will have no furniture or belongings for up to an additional week. When I stated that I had made it clear I needed items delivered on the specific date I listed in the loading paperwork and that nobody had indicated actual delivery would be up to a week later, I was told that I "must have misunderstood" and that I "don't understand" how things work. Now my family is scrambling to figure out what to do as we still have no set delivery date for our items and we are due to be in another state within 48 hours.

    So, here's what I have learned about this company: their entire business model is a bait-and-switch process. They dramatically underquote the actual cost of the move and tell you what they think you want to hear to get you locked into a contract. They intentionally withhold information to keep you from cancelling the contract prior to loading. They rush the loading process to get you in a situation where one has no other viable option beyond paying their new accurate quote - the quote you should have gotten in the first place, but didn't because you'd have rented a U-Haul. They subcontract the actual work to other local companies and couriers who have no skin in the game and only want to get paid.

    There is zero accountability along the way and if you call with questions or concerns, you are treated like an idiot. This company is absolutely horrible and I would never recommend them. (I would love to add a receipt to this review so it would be "verified," but I have yet to receive one for the money I gave them at loading).

    Terrible service so far and they haven’t even picked up my stuff. I called for almost two months straight and was unable to speak to anyone to get answers for my move, we were left completely in the dark until 2 days prior to our move which is today. For the almost two months I tried to contacting them I was hung up on multiple times for no reason, the customer service employees were rude and useless. I finally talked to someone named James today who apologized for the whole ordeal and assured me that I would be taken care of so we will see. My things are supposed to get picked up in two days. And delivered by the 28th.

    I did have to pay more Money down because they said since I couldn’t get in touch with anyone prior today they would keep my deposit even though it is completely their fault that I was not able to speak with anyone until today. I wish I had never booked with this company it has been nothing but head aches and raising prices when we have the same amount of stuff I was quoted on initially the sales rep never entered my correct sq footage and gave me a much lower quote in order to get my business. I was assured the sales rep had been suspended for being dishonest.

    This has been one of the worst experiences I have dealt with. I originally called for a quote and went over 80% of the things that I had in my apartment. I gave all the big items in the correct quantities and explained in detail some of the other larger items that I had. I got quoted a price and it seemed fair so I approved to pay for half the quoted price and then the other half at time of move. Two+ weeks go by, radio silence till I get an email saying your move in coming up, here are the guidelines and your items.

    When I read the quote, several large items were missing from it like an electric fireplace. Also, they will not allow items in trash bags and I had stated previously I put a pillow collection in trash bags and it was just quoted as individual pillows. My moving expert called me the week before my move and while she was nice, she asked all the questions that should have been asked in my moving quote. I was asked before, what size bed, 2 queens. She asked if my beds had headboards, footboards and mattress. Also the original quote never had an electric fireplace so she added it as a mantel piece.

    Other odds and ends I knew would explain the sq footage needed but not over 300 and $1200 more than quoted. I was told I would be called the day before they would be here and got a call on Saturday the 17th which I missed because it came in at 7:38 pm MST. They left a message saying the movers would be here tomorrow May 19th between 8-11 am. Sunday 11 am, I call and ask where the truck is and they say, no, the movers are scheduled for Monday the 19th. I ask why you said tomorrow and they gave a nonchalant answer of "ohh yeah, I can see how it would be confusing". So here I am on Monday and I get a call the truck won't be here till 1-5 pm, DOT held them up. I have moved 5 times in 8 years and this has been the worst experience and they still haven't picked up or dropped off my things yet... Not looking forward to when they actually manage to get here.

    I do NOT recommend using moving brokers. New Start Relocation originally came recommended, but I am beyond frustrated and disappointed with my whole experience! Nothing happened according to what I was originally told by the representative, Jonathan, when I booked with New Start Relocation in mid-April 2025. To be clear, they are not the moving company but only a broker who coordinates with local moving companies on your behalf. In short, Jonathan’s rundown of how the move would go was not how it went, and when asked during follow ups (via voicemail as he didn't answer his phone), he either did not return my phone call or he had someone else in his company call to speak with me and my wife instead. Very unprofessional.

    In short, he did not accurately include all of the items and boxes in our moving quote. When I verified with him on the initial phone call when booking, specifically about the boxes not being on the sheet, he stated it is not a problem, 100 boxes are included in the estimate. When Michael from QA called before the moving date, we found out that the information was wrong, and they had to add the boxes in then. This, of course, drastically increased our moving price.

    Michael tried his best to do the right thing and provided a discount off the total, but it was still significantly more than originally discussed. Though we would find out this was not the last time this would happen during this process. Further, Jonathan told us our moving day would be on the Monday we chose, and the second day in the two-day window would only be used if weather-related issues delayed the movers. We would also find out that this was inaccurate information. They two day window is just a two day window where they can come any time during that window, period.

    On the day of the move, we were then told by the actual moving company, New Start Relocation, again inaccurately determined the square footage of the space needed, which would again increase the total cost. Further, Jonathan told us credit cards would be accepted, but the moving company only took cash or a money order. When I asked if this was a common occurrence, the mover told me the at unfortunately, his experience with brokers is that they all too often under quote and by they time they get to him, he has to break the news the cost is more leaving the customer with little to no other options than to pay so their move can occur on the timeline they need.

    Overall, Jonathan and New Start Relocation seem to be out only for the sale/money rather than an accurate and tailored customer experience. The information provided was a misrepresentation of what was actually available for the movers they brokered for us. At this point in their existence as a company, they should know better of what services are provided, or at the very least, let the customer know what to expect only after they’ve confirmed with the moving company they contracted out with for that move. Better to just book directly with the moving company and avoid the headache of misinformation and unprofessionalism from a moving broker.

    Do NOT use New Start Relocation. I used them to move three boxes and a dining room set from Nebraska to Florida in February 2025. Somehow the moving company they subcontracted my move to lost one of the boxes. The customer service and claims process for the missing box was a complete nightmare. They were more than happy to take my money when booking the move but after the move was completed they could care less. When I contacted them in May to find out the status of my settlement check, I was told by a customer service representative that I'd need to work with the third party claims company that handles their claims. I was given a telephone number for the claims company.

    When I called the number I got a recorded message that the claims company only processes the claims, it doesn't issue settlement checks. I would need to contact the service provider about my check. So, I contacted New Start Relocation customer service again to let them know what I was told by the claims company. I also referred them to an email I received from the claims company explaining in writing that the claims company only process claims, it doesn't issue checks. The claims settlement checks are issued by the service provider. I received an email the following day from New Start Relocation customer service restating that they have nothing to do with claims and that I'd have to contact the claims company. Do NOT use New Start Relocation.

    The beginning of my experience was great. Hugo, the Senior Relocation Specialist, gave me a great quote for my move from Nebraska to California. Especially with the amount of things I listed that needed to be moved to the West Coast. I was quoted $2.8k and he was very easy to talk to. Fast forward to a few weeks later, a few days before my scheduled pick up, I was contacted by Michael and asked for images of all the items that will be moved. After sending him the images, that’s when things went south. He mentioned that they didn’t expect to have that much items on the image, despite after giving them a list of everything that will be moved.

    My bill then went from $2.8k to over $4k because they had to make sure there is enough space for all of my belongings. I then signed and made another deposit. But hey, at least they were quick to move in that scenario to avoid any further delays. Then come the day of the pick up. I was told that the movers will arrive between 9a-12:30p and that they will call me when they are about an hour away that day, but didn’t get a call between those times. I then reached out to both Hugo and Michael and did not get any response. Those guys are amazing at their work when it comes to getting money, but once they get the money, they disappear. Never heard from both of them ever again.

    Luckily, I was able to get in touch with their customer support, and neither the support didn’t have any idea when the movers will arrive. I then got a call from the movers at around 2:30p that day and said that they will be able to pick it up at around 5-6p that evening. Guess what, they didn’t come in until 6:20a the next day! On top of that, once the movers saw all the items that needed to be moved, they said that the estimate given to them by Hugo and Michael were incorrect and that I had so many things. So from $4k it went up to $7.5k. At this point, I didn’t have any other choice as I had to catch a flight at 8 am that morning to leave town for good. Overall, terrible experience. I do not recommend this company. I will give 0 stars if that was an option. You think they are so wonderful to work with. They do a great job when it comes to taking your money but leave you hanging once they got your money. Keep shopping for movers if you’re planning on hiring one.

    I didn't want to leave them a review knowing it would be negative but I reached the last straw when I discovered things missing (topper is that my bike is now damaged beyond repair- and of course they didn't bother to tell me). I don't know if it's the fault of New Start Relocation or the movers they hired- Stanford Moving Company- but the move was awful. I didn't realize New start is a broker - its just better to find your own local movers. You feel a little more in control. So working with New Start is fine, it's the movers they hired that was a hellish experience. Where to begin, oh where to begin?

    First of all, it was just 2 people who came to move an entire house. It took ALL day. They were saying they would have to go into the next day but I told them I HAVE to be out of the house by midnight. Needless to say, it was a very late night. They were not friendly at all. One was just plain rude the entire time. They tracked in mud and dirt all over the house, and used up all the toilet paper! One even walked in on me going to the bathroom!! The next day was just as fun. They wouldn't unload until they were paid in cash for the final installment.

    I was going to use Venmo but found out venmo has a $2,000 limit and the final installment was more than that. So I had to scramble which added unnecessary stupid stress on an already stressful situation. I finally got them the payment after noon. They did the same thing to my new house, tracked in mud and dirt. Fortunately no one walked in on me in the bathroom this time. God be praised. But they just threw boxes where ever. Towards the end they just put boxes in one spot regardless of the room that it was labeled for. The next day I spent more time moving boxes to the correct location and having to clean up after them. It ended up costing me about $10,000 that a couple of randos off the street would have done a better job. Please go with reputable movers like Mayflower or 2 guys and a truck. They are required to be more responsible and professional.

    Before you book with New Start Relocation READ THIS: They offered me a quote with a BINDING estimate, meaning they have to give me that price unless I add more stuff. On move day they showed up and told me I had more stuff so they would have to give me a different price which was about 50% more than the original quote. When they filled the truck, it was only filled 30-40% to the top, which means my original number (which they AND their “quality assurance” team had originally agreed was accurate!) was accurate.

    When I tried to dispute the new cost, they told me I was “lucky they weren’t coming to my house to get more money” and that federal regulations said they could not efficiently pack the truck. If you move with them, be prepared to either pay way more or move yourself on move day. Do NOT trust them! They deliberately low-ball you so that you are relying on them on move-out day and then raise the price when you are desperate. I will be filing a complaint with the FMSCA and possibly legal action.

    This is lengthy, hopefully it will help from being deceived!! Don't even consider using them for many reasons: Found out they are a broker company & will lie/deceive to get your business. They totally took advantage of us without disclosing they were a broker company. They never told us the name of the company moving us which was Eagle Moving & was also their company under a different name. Not knowing that, we were unable to read reviews which we later found out were horrible. After much investigation and contacting the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, we found several complaints had been issued against them.

    2. Inconsistent pricing - we were quoted one price & move ended up costing triple. Spoke with 3 different sales people & each one told me something different. The last guy called the evening before the movers came asking if I wanted to guarantee a larger percentage of the truck as my reservation was at 18% & if more of the truck was required, when they arrived, the price increase would be at a premium. He was offering a discounted price & said we could reserve the space-if we didn't use it, they would refund the difference.

    We reserved 40% of the truck with the price being a little over $3,000 & we could get the movers to show us the 40% of the truck. We did a Face TIme call so he could see the amount of items we were moving. He said 40% should work & probably would be less. When the movers got there, they had no idea what I was talking about that they based the move on cubic feet - the price went up to $5,000 after they got the majority of the stuff loaded and said if we didn't pay they would unload the truck. We were being taken advantage of. Called the company, asked for a manager to be told there wasn't one available, but she would try to advocate on our behalf. Tried calling the guy that told us about the % of the truck, no answer and no text back. We were in a bind with no choice but to proceed.

    3. At the beginning of the conversation to hire this company, I stated the furniture had to be in Texas no later than Sunday, April 27 & wanted delivery on the 26th. They assured me this was not a problem which was the reason we contracted with them. They picked up on Thursday, April 24th & the movers left us with the impression they were the ones taking the furniture to Texas. Due to us having Apple AirTags on some stuff, we found out that the truck was sitting in a warehouse in Birmingham, Alabama on Friday.

    On Saturday when the truck was still showing it was in Birmingham, I texted the driver that had picked up our stuff to find out he wasn't the one taking the stuff to Plano, Texas from Augusta, Georgia. He said our stuff would be loaded onto another truck & it could be 14-21 days before it got to Texas. I called the after hours service & was told that they never guaranteed arrival on the days that I had given them. After much discussion, the service person called & said the truck would be reloaded on Sunday & delivery would be 1-3 days after that. Again, I told her that was not what I was told & explained that my son & daughter in law had jobs that required travel & no one would be home. She said we'd have to make arrangements & that was our problem-if no one was there when delivered they would leave & we would be charged a redelivery fee.

    4. We were told by the driver that was going to deliver the load that they required cash payment or a postal check upon delivery for the balance before they would unload the furniture or they would leave with the furniture. I again called customer service after the driver called my son telling him they would be delivering the furniture on the 27th, but again stated cash on delivery. When I called, I received a text stating she had already helped me & that they were closed to call back on Monday (note: they state they have 24/7 customer service). I sent her another text telling her what the driver said & asked who has a large amount of cash laying around! What kind of company requires payment of cash to someone they've never seen or heard of - how were we guaranteed they wouldn't take the cash & then say we hadn't paid. Reading info about moving, one thing that was stated over and over is do not pay cash.

    6. The furniture was delivered & there were broken items. One additional thing, the second guy I spoke with at New Start said not to worry about added insurance as we were covered & that we wouldn't need additional insurance only to find out too late that they only paid $.60 per pound for any damaged item.

    You want to worst experience in your entire life. Here they are. Took a month and a two days to get from NY to FL. I kid you not, they ignored all of our calls and messages. Broke an electric recliner and a black refurbished cabinet (then taped it together and said nothing) and lost two tubs in delivery. You know what they give you 60 cents per pound. And they don’t even do that. Then charged 350 extra when they got here saying they had to move it from one truck to another. Guess what it gets better, 75 dollar per 8 steps. Not included. Ooo I can do ya one better, none of them speak English and they can’t properly pack a truck leaving a bunch of empty space everywhere.

    Customer service? Nope they have no knowledge about any of the business they are doing and third party delivered it so had no idea where it was and couldn’t get a hold of the drivers. DO NOT SIGN THE CONTRACT BECAUSE YOU SIGN AWAY YOUR RIGHT TO REFUSE THEY CHARGES EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE NOT LAWFUL. You will get absolutely screwed over. I will say it again save yourself. It may be a cheap quote but because they do not include everything in your estimate.

    April 28, 2025. I will apologize for the length of the review but the details are important. I don’t want this company to rebut anything and make a reader doubt my claim – which they WILL do. I received a quote from Michael and Daniel for approx. $1800.00 (which they later reduced to $1500.00 to help me out - LOL) for my move from KY to MS. I was hesitant to pay for movers as I never have paid anyone to move me but I needed the help this time and trusted this company to move me. That was a mistake. I gave them the list of items I needed moved which consisted of furniture (a couch, TV stand, outdoor furniture, etc. and approx. 30 medium sized boxes). When I received the bill of lading it listed all of my items but then had 353 CF on the bill of lading. I called several times to confirm this was enough room for all of the items listed and was assured that they would take ALL of the items from the bill of lading whether it was more than 353 CF or not.

    Well I didn’t know they WILL take everything but they will also charge you additional for it (The list you give them doesn’t matter. It’s the CF that matter.). My estimate went to $4,500.00. This company intentionally puts a small amount of CF regardless of what you tell them, they then reassure you it will fit in the allotted space, to only then con you out of thousands. I am one that never writes reviews – but please beware of the scam this company is running. They will say anything to get the contract and try to con you out of money. I ended up telling the movers to only move 353-400CF of items. I put a $500 deposit – they charged me half at pickup which came to $900 and they will be charging me another $900 at drop off. I didn’t even get half my stuff on the truck for this amount.

    Their goal is to give you a quote to entice you to use their company, take your deposit to lock you in, come to your house and “confirm” the items listed to only charge you additional money and at that point you are in a bind - either pay them to move your stuff or tell them no, resulting in a loss of the deposit, and have to hire other movers to do it. This is their game. I will say the team that came to move me were amazing and unfortunately are caught in the middle of this company's scam. I sincerely hope anyone reading this will trust me in saying this is a terrible company and completely unethical. If they are doing this to their customers - I cant imagine how they are ripping off their workers.

    We contracted with New Start Relocation, but with some concerns we read from other customers. They indicated they had a contract for one price and when the truckers showed up the price went up. Our estimate was for about $1800. When the truckers got here, the price increased to $3800. Because of our concerns, we had sent the agent multiple pictures of the boxes and lumber that was to be moved. The agent said he got everything confirmed with his boss, that the estimate was now a solid number. So we sent New Start about $700. They will not ship our load for the original agreed on price and will not return our $700 deposit. Based on my feelings, this company does this type of "business" regularly. Trying to reason with them is impossible and they use all the tactics of a shady, non reputable business. I would never ever recommend using this company unless you plan to lose your Money.

    Got a decent estimate for a move from Fort Lauderdale to Montana. Two days prior to my scheduled pick-up time, I was called and told my estimate was twice the quote from Scott **, a lying sack of crap who gave me the first estimate. So, I trashed some stuff and made it lighter with less cubic ft. They picked up on time, on April 2. Rosenberg told me, when asked, that the delivery would happen 7 to 10 days after pick-up. It is now April 21, and my stuff is still in a storage locker in Ft. Lauderdale, and they can't give me a time for delivery. Contract says that they have 20-21 days to fulfill the contract. Customer service is useless, so look elsewhere for a moving company, unless you like headaches, time wasting, and blood pressure spikes! And... they were recommended by someone I knew....

    Really, the part that hurts worst about dealing with East West Movers LLC (dba New Start Relocation) is how upset my dad would be if he realized that I took their word about their services and didn’t read the contract thoroughly. I needed to move my mom, who is suffering from dementia, from Oklahoma to Colorado. My mom was moving from a 2-bedroom apartment, so I didn’t expect it to cost too much, but was prepared to pay a few thousand for the move.

    As I was in Colorado, I was not able to meet with a bunch of movers in Oklahoma, so I was happy that New Start Relocation was able to quote the move based on reviewing with me the furniture and other items in her apartment. I provided a rundown of what she had, and Michael C gave me and estimate of $2500 after a $500 senior discount. We needed them to pick up everything on a Friday, and I asked if we could get it delivered on the following Monday. In what I now realize was an obvious effort to deflect from my question, Michael told me that they are only allowed to drive 500 miles a day, so it would take 2 days to move everything. I should have known that the fact that he was not directly answering my question was a red flag, but I heard it as a confirmation that it would only take 2 days, so we were good.

    As we got closer to the move, I was transferred from salesman Michael to representative Suzy A who wanted to verify that the box counts were still accurate, etc. I let Suzy know that we had more boxes, although they were not all full size (18x18x16), but we had fewer pictures and were hoping to consolidate more. Suzy told me that with the extra boxes, it would be an additional charge ($1800 more after a $700 senior discount), but if it turned out that we didn’t need all the space, we would be issued a refund. I once again verified with Suzy that everything would be delivered on Monday, and once again she verified that they could only drive 500 miles in a day, so it would take 2 days.

    Come moving day, we are given a window of 9-12 for the movers to show up. At 12:30, they finally arrive, walk through the apartment, and tell us we must pay them $2100 more, or they wouldn’t move us, and we had a lot fewer boxes that we had originally estimated! At this point, it was pure extortion since we didn’t have the option of scheduling someone else, so they knew they had us over a barrel. (They had also been collecting 50% of any amount due the full time, so even if we walked away, they already had a couple thousand dollars).

    We ended up paying the $2100, and then the movers took almost 7 hours to load up a 2-bedroom apartment (pretty much everything was already in boxes or wrapped). Once they were done, they told us that it was going to be 7-14 days for everything to arrive at the new location, and when they delivered it, we had to have cash for the remaining $2400 or they wouldn’t deliver our stuff! This is the part that hurt, since that is what it says in the contract, but Michael and Suzy didn’t tell us this when we were asking them directly about delivery.

    On the Monday we were expecting our stuff, we called customer support several times only to be told that they didn’t know where or stuff was. As it turns out, this is their code for “it is in a warehouse and has not left the origin location yet.” We borrowed a bed and brought over some folding chairs and TV tables for my mom, but she was super confused as to where she was and what was going on. It was a full week after our planned move in date when they finally called and told us our stuff would be there sometime the next day, with no solid timeframe. Once they arrived, luckily, they told us they would accept Zelle, but they wouldn’t start moving without payment first. The driver was rude, only telling us that we needed to pay him and not answering any of our questions. And you guessed it, once he arrived, he required an additional $400 since there is an elevator that they need to go up to get to her apartment.

    What they did pack, they packed poorly. We had paid $50 for a special box for the TV so it wouldn’t get broken, and they just taped some cardboard on the front and back and called it good. (It wasn’t broken, but it also wasn’t a $50 TV box!) They also packed a silk screen panel, and they stuck the tape directly to the panels, ruining them. They didn’t put enough wrapping on the panels themselves, so holes were punched all over the front of the screen. Lots of art and dishes were also broken in the move that were well wrapped, so I am not sure how they were handling the boxes.

    What we found is that they do not insure your valuables unless you pay extra. They only cover each item for $0.60/pound THAT THE ITEM WEIGHS. In other words, if you ship 4000 pounds of stuff, and they destroy your $8500 silk screen that weights 50 pounds, they will reimburse you up to $30 (if they approve the claim). If you do file a claim, you are locked into using their arbitrator for binding arbitration, so they basically can pick and choose if they want to reimburse you for anything they damage. We are all done with the move now, and my mom is finally settling in, but I will always have a bitter taste for how poor of an experience it was moving with New Start Relocation.

    **Summary of Issues:**

    - **Inaccurate Quote:** Original estimate was $6,000; final cost ballooned to $11,000.
    - **Poor Communication:** Difficulty reaching representatives for major concerns

    - **Unreliable Timeline:** Serious discrepancies in scheduling and execution.

    Let me preface this by saying that my husband and I have moved four times in the past seven years, which has afforded us a solid understanding of how a relocation process should operate. When we first reached out to New Start Relocation, we connected with Sales Representative Jonathan **. He provided a general overview of their services and, while discussing the estimate, asked about the layout of our home and the contents of each room. Unfortunately, it became apparent that there were no visual assessments — no video conference nor an in-person pre-inspection prior to moving day. This lack of thoroughness should have raised a red flag for us, as our previous experiences typically included such steps.

    During the sales pitch, Jonathan assured us that the movers were based in the location to which we were relocating and that they would conduct another drop-off in our area before our move. He mentioned we would have roughly four packers handling the job. A week later, I attempted to confirm the details with Jonathan regarding the pickup date, but received no response despite multiple email, text, and phone attempts. Eventually, a different representative contacted me to clarify that the initially agreed-upon date was incorrect and could not be changed. To complicate matters, I was prompted to revise our packing list, leading to a total increase from the initial $6,000 estimate to a “worst-case scenario” of $9,000 — a substantially frustrating jump.

    Days later, the dispatch team reached out to confirm the movers’ estimated arrival time. I made it clear that we were on a military installation, which had previously posed issues with other moving companies. They reassured me that they knew how to access the area. On the eve of our scheduled pack-out, we received a call from the movers stating they would arrive between 8 AM and 10 AM. However, on moving day, I got a call indicating they couldn’t enter the base because one mover lacked identification. Consequently, I had to escort them onto the installation, delaying their arrival until noon with only two movers available to pack and move our entire three-bedroom house within two days.

    Upon assessment, the lead mover informed us that the price had now escalated from $9,000 to $11,000. He demanded either a cashier's check or cash before they would begin packing, leaving us in an exceptionally stressful situation. I immediately tried to contact New Start Relocation to discuss this unexpected price spike, but none of my attempts resulted in a reply. Despite my frustrations, we felt compelled to pay the increased amount. The movers also disclosed that they weren’t actually local to our destination; they came from Chicago and planned to store our belongings until a semi could be arranged for delivery.

    As we had been promised multiple packers, my husband and I stayed up until the early morning hours packing items ourselves to expedite the process due to delays. At this juncture, we were already at double the original estimate without receiving any acknowledgment from New Start Relocation. The following day during the pack-out, pressed for time, we conveyed to the movers our need to vacate the premises by 3 PM. They assured us that all would be packed up efficiently, and they would return the next morning at 8 AM. However, the return did not materialize at the agreed-upon time.

    When I called at 8:15 AM, I was informed that their truck wouldn’t start and they were waiting for a tow. By 8:45 AM, we received a text stating they were en route. Complications continued when we reached out to the dispatch team regarding the delivery of our household goods. We discovered that if the semi truck was unable to access our area, we’d face additional charges or would have to rent a U-Haul ourselves. I provided images demonstrating accessible areas adequate for a semi-truck.

    However, a few days later, the driver informed us they couldn’t fit the semi into our area. As a result, my husband and I scrambled to secure a rental truck and were instructed to meet the driver in a nearby parking lot to facilitate the transfer of our belongings. Upon arrival, we learned that we would have to handle unpacking ourselves, and the movers required the return of all packing blankets used on our items. While they loaded our possessions onto the U-Haul, my husband and I rushed to unwrap them from their protective layers so we could apply please wrapping blankets of our own. I strongly advise all military families to steer clear of New Start Relocation. I firmly believe that they should be blacklisted to prevent future exploitation of military families during what is already a challenging transition.

    Updated review: Sept. 24, 2025

    The company was taken over by a new management team. The new team reached out to me to discuss the mess created by the previous team. The new team understood what happened and made some plans to improve the service in the future. I hope things will go in the right direction for future services.

    Original Review: April 14, 2025

    Updated n 04/20/2025: Fine and we changed our planes because they said that they would ship our items in 2 days and the driver will call around 24 hours before they arrive. Another three more days, nothing happened. The fourth day, a Saturday, without any notice the day before, they called us at 3:30PM and said the driver would arrive at 6PM. So the around 24 hours notice in advance became 3 hours in advance. The worst thing was that we were out of town. The dispatch said we were the last stop and they would need to deliver today. Again, fine and we rushed back home.

    No surprise, they increased the price again by $700 for a change, which I had no idea and any warning before and after they picked up. They would not unload our stuff until we paid. The movers actually damaged our walls, but they would it admit. Just because we did not watch them to do everything. Now, I am exhausted and disappointed. We will make sure to this experience to all the propel we know and propel we do not know from the internet. No one should ever use this company.

    Original: I was directed to sign the contract over the phone call and without being told about the delivery window (2-14 business days). The customer service was with very unrespectful attitude. After I got surprised by the delivery time and called in checking, the customer service blamed on me not reading the contract carefully while I was directed to sign it over a phone call. Instead of resolving the issue, the company kept saying that I was not reading the contract and it has been a common practice for customers signing over phone calls. Is feasible for all customers to read the contract report over a phone call? For the pick up day, they actually called me at 6 pm on Sunday to ask if they could change the pickup date to the following Monday at 7 AM because they had a truck around. What company gives costumers date change request only 12 hours in advance and it was a Sunday.

    Regardless, we coordinated our schedule for their convenience, and they just left our stuff at a storage after the pick up. Now, I have been left in hanging for one week after the pick up. No one got me any update even after I called them three times. They just kept saying that they will update me. I finally made another push again and I was told that our stuff was still at the storage. For future costumers, do not say yes to early pickup unless you do not want to leave your stuff at a storage for a long time. Overall, I would not recommend anyone to use this company for moving.

    Had the worst moving experience ever with New Start. The movers they matched me with behaved as if they have never moved an apt before. The moving company had one small hand truck for an apartment move. It was one guy and a second person he hired. The one guy was in flip flops. Unprofessional start to finish. The person who picked up my stuff was different t than who dropped it off. Contract was photocopied. Wanted to raise the price over $1800 so I left a lot of my stuff and had done a move 9 months previous with way more items for less. I ended up paying $900 more than initial quote and have multiple damaged and lost items. Do NOT TRUST New Start to pair you with reputable movers!

    Friendly, helpful, speedy. I had some confusion over the billing process but after the owners of the shipping company and the brokerage took time to call me and we went line for line we got it all worked out and we were all happy. The movers not only packed us out but also water proofed our items with plastic wrap and ensured everything had the hardware secured to the items.

    We urgently need help. We hired a broker to assist with our move, and the experience has been a nightmare. They gave us a contract with a set price, then changed it without warning. It’s been two weeks, and we still haven’t received our belongings—despite the contract clearly stating delivery would happen within 1–2 business days. They’ve ignored the terms of the agreement, misled us, and are refusing to take any responsibility. This situation is completely unacceptable and needs to be addressed immediately.

    🚨 WARNING: Do Not Use New Start Relocation / Eagle Moving Group Inc. 🚨 I was deceived out of $1,782.54 by this company for a move that never even happened. On March 3, 2025, I received a binding estimate of $3,661.42 after a detailed conversation with their rep, Nate **. After finding out I was a veteran, he played the "I'm a veteran too, brother" card! I paid nearly half up front. I was told the quote would only change if I added more items—which I didn’t. Then the bait-and-switch began.

    On March 18, I was suddenly told the price had jumped to $4,282.75. When I pushed back, I was told they’d honor the original quote if I disassembled everything myself. I did. But when the movers showed up on March 23, they presented me with a bogus new “binding” estimate of $7,644.29—more than double the original. No measurements, no justification, just pure deception. I refused. I contacted customer service and was told by Ryan ** I’d receive a full refund. Days later, I get an email saying I’d only get $450 back, with the rest as a “credit” for future service I will never use. Then they changed it again—to $650. Then $675. Total chaos.

    I asked for: My original quote to be honored. A full refund so I could find another mover. Legal contact information—which they refused to provide. This company uses bait-and-switch tactics, false promises, and shady refund games. Under federal law (49 CFR § 375.505), this is straight-up illegal. I’ll be reporting them to the FMCSA, FTC, Florida Attorney General, and more. Let my experience be your warning: Avoid New Start Relocation and Eagle Moving Group at all costs.

    The fact that this is promoted as a Veteran owned company makes this experience much worse; I expected better. Once the sale is made your move if transferred to an actual moving company to execute. Although you’re told all packing materials, blankets etc. are included that is absolutely false and the movers won’t take anything without extra “cash” on the spot. The sales company will fall back on some loose contract language that leaves some items at the shippers discretion and that’s where they get you. I lost more than $1500 worth of personal belongings because I refused to be hustled and pressured by these guys on moving day.

    Called the sales company, no answers, sent emails and someone else sends responses just quoting the same contract language that again is open to interpretation. Also, any foot travel more than 75 feet they will charge you $1 per foot “cash”. Oh and of course if you don’t want to pay any extra fees for the services you’ve actually already paid for, they will ask you want personal items you’re willing to sell or give to them in trade. Infuriating, please don’t use these people or the partner Ocean Moving from Ft. Lauderdale area.

    We totally fell for the sales pitch of the cheap quote based on a full walk-through with Gianna, we were given a 7 day timeframe for moving, a story about how they only move 2 families at a time. it all seemed to be great. What we didn’t realize was they subcontract the actual moving out to another company – Jackson‘s movers – who arrived and then told us the quote was too low and literally doubled the quote to &15,000. We had no choice because we were set to move with flights booked so we had to go with it. They also charged us for packing a boxes.

    But that wasn’t the worst, when everything arrived two weeks later not seven days later, everything had been moved from multiple trucks to other trucks, nearly every box was crushed and damaged, TV was broken. My motorcycle was scratched. They left the bolts for the bed behind in the old house so now I have to fly back to Texas to get them. The stuff they packaged (and charged me for) they just threw into large boxes with no packing, like speakers, pottery, etc all of which are damaged. Then there’s a small print which says the insurance only covers $.60 per pound of item, regardless of what happened so even though we’re filing a claim for so much damage we’re likely to get very little back. Avoid, avoid, avoid, it’s a scam.
