It was the most pleasurable moving I have ever had. All the team members from the top down were respectful, courteous, understanding. I cannot recommend all of them enough. All I can say at this point in time is thank you, thank you and more thank you's.

Ripoff company. They offered me a very low price, and even I had much less stuff than initially they raised the price. They sent me truck from EZ Movers, but when driver raised the price they refused to negotiate it, even in their policy says they have to help with price negotiations. They took 1,500 on top of EZ Movers charge. When I asked "why you took this money," it no answer. What is their participation in the process, they just found a client for EZ Movers. Plus, my furniture had multiple damages after this moving service, but no refund. I would not recommend anyone this business, only to my enemies.

When I called to arrange my move, all was perfect, representative was so responsive and helpful that I got lured in. Set up a delivery date two weeks from the pickup date to guarantee this exact day. All was well. I was very detailed and conservative on the online inventory estimation to have as few surprises as possible. And then the pickup date came... Movers gave me almost the double sq footage of what I was quoted for. I had nothing to do but pay this ransom... But then as the delivery date was approaching, I found out that my stuff is still at destination and will arrive about a week after initially agreed. I had numerous conversations with customer service and was basically told to plea to the moving company directly because there was nothing they could do. Fantastic...
And then when I flexed a muscle and said it would be reflected in my review, the woman from customer service basically cursed and hang up the phone. Few days later I got to talk to her supervisor who was nice and sympathetic but nothing changed in the state of the matters – my things were still 1000 miles away. By the end of our conversation this lady said "Now I'm going to send you a review link and if you give us 5 stars, then I'm going to refund you $50 for your inconvenience." So bribing for a review – that's a good one... Wonder if I will be refunded after I give my HONEST opinion...

The long distance move which I booked with National Moving Group turned out to be a week long nightmare. My agent Erik ** was wonderful until things started going wrong, then he would not answer my calls for help. Elizabeth and Tami in customer service were worthless, rude, and unprofessional. My move was scheduled between 9am and noon. The outsourced movers, Super Movers & Storage, finally showed up at 8:45pm! The driver, Mohammad, complained from the beginning that the estimate was underweight. One thing Erik assured me of was that there would be no problem with the estimate because things even out. By 11:30 pm with the truck loaded I'm signing under duress for an additional $1093 to get them out of my house. No one can be reached at National even though they assure you of after hours assistance if there are problems.
At delivery Mohammad was demanding cash instead of money order. He threatened to take our furniture to storage and charge us for storage because my husband was questioning the weight difference which was thousands of lbs. different from the estimate. He won, but I finally got my furniture! My furniture was damaged, a lamp is missing, a steel door was scraped and gouged by them forcing the legs of a sofa through it. I had to borrow tools from a neighbor at 10pm because they had no tools with them to disassemble the bed and mirror which was part of the contract. This is the short version of the complaint I have filed with the Better Business Bureau on both companies. No one should ever have to go through what we did with all the promises made at signing. Tell everyone you know to avoid these two companies so you won't live the nightmare we did!!!

I received my household stuff yesterday and I have lots of valuable item missing. Moving from Sunnyvale to Wisconsin. I tried to call the manager from Best Moving and he is behaving rudely and using abusing language. He is also saying he is not going to approve my claims. Please let me know how to deal with this. This is not the kind of customer satisfaction I accepted from National Moving Group. Please let me know how to follow up on this. Thanks.
Updated 8/15/2016 - This is regarding my Claim number. These were the items which I had found missing/Stolen from my luggage when I received the delivery. And after your verification, I am receiving only 67$. I did not expect this type of customer satisfaction from you. I have gone through lot of mental pressure during these days. I am really disappointed from your service. And I will not advise anybody to use National Moving Group.

I am so grateful that I got the privilege of working with Tammy. Without a doubt she is one of the best agents I've ever had to deal with, caring and compassionate is what she is all about. Without her I would of given up and taken a loss... Thank you. P.S. Because of Tammy you got the set of 5 stars.

My move was not going well at first, which was caused by the moving company that was assigned the job. I had many problems dealing with them and getting them to respond/reply with accurate estimates on when my move would be delivered. I finally came to the realization that maybe National Moving Group would have more success in getting a response from the moving company. I was fully prepared to be told to deal with the moving company about any problems or complaints, but Tami (my service rep at NMG) was able to resolve all of my problems with the moving company quickly. She followed up with me and even offered a $50 refund for my troubles and assured me that National Moving Group will never send work to the company that was causing all of the delays and cost issues. I should have called NMG as soon as I started experiencing problems with this other moving company, as they were quick to resolve any and all problems.

When I contracted with National Moving Group, I was given a lot of bad information. Alyssa (customer service) worked with me to get my "goods" delivered when nothing else seemed to work. She was great! Even waited patiently through my meltdown. Although I was disappointed in the length of time it took me to get my furniture & am totally disappointed in the company my contract was given to, Alyssa was my lifeline to remain sane. Thank you, Alyssa!

When looking for moving company options the best deal seemed to be with National Moving Group. In speaking with estimator Erik ** he provided me with the details and information needed with what to expect and for my first upcoming long distance move. This proved to be a very smooth long distance moving experience moving all my possessions from Arizona to NY in 11 days. Customer service was excellent - thanks to Alyssa. I would highly recommend using this moving group for any long distance moving needs.

I absolutely loved my experience with this company, they handled all my items with care. My items arrived on time. No damage to any of my stuff and I had a lot of fragile items. So grateful for the staff, I was able to speak to a live person at 2 am because I was curious to see where the truck was since this was my first big move. And it was amazing. Will definitely use their services again.

Thus far, our experience with this company has been horrible! It started with the lies and misleadings from rep, Joe, who lied about price, duration of time to get our things, and many other things. He told me to call him on his cell often, where the lies and misleadings weren't recorded. In my opinion, he should be fired! I've never used a moving company before and he knew that, so he took full advantage of my ignorance!!
Then, after two weeks (which our things were promised to arrive after one week), when I called National to find out where on Earth our things were, I was told your company had NO idea where our things were! This was extremely stressful for us as we have in our things, photos, my son's things who had passed away, and other things which cannot be replaced!! Rep Tammy, worked hard to find out where our things were and is the ONLY one so far who deserves the five stars!! So to be clear, the stars are NOT for the company but for Tammy only!! Thank you!

I called National moving group to moving my furniture from Mississippi to San Antonio. Even thought it cost more money than U-Haul I felt it was a good decision. I was wrong. I was told my stuff would be picked up on Sunday the 12th between noon and 6. I was told a driver would call me with a exact time. No one ever called or showed up. Then I received a text message saying they would be there at noon then another text saying between 2 and 5. The driver finally showed up at midnight. I called that Tuesday to discuss the issue. I was told I would receive a discount, but they had to work on it. This took a week to figure out my discount. Since I moved into a two story house they wouldn't charge me to move my stuff upstairs. I dint have a problem with that cause at this time I just want my stuff. Someone called me on Sunday and told me they would be there Monday. No one called or showed up.
I get a call Tuesday. The caller said someone would be here between 1-4. At some 6 the mover showed up. They can't put my furniture back together because they don't have any tools. My bed posts are broke and box spring dirty and tore up. They were in a mattress cover when I shipped them. I am missing parts off my bed. I cannot put my bed together because of broken pieces and missing parts. I need to buy a new bed. I will update tomorrow on how they handle it. I'm not willing to wait another week for them to handle this. I will be contacting a lawyer tomorrow.

National Moving Group is a broker company. They contract with other movers to actually do the work. When you sign an agreement with National Moving Group, the actual drivers that pick up, drive and load do not have to follow the contract you signed. I experienced many discrepancies when the driver arrived to pick up. It was so bad that I thought I was being scammed. National Moving Group could do nothing about it. National Moving Group's customer service was poor, but even if it was good, they can't do anything to help the day of pickup. The quote was so severely off that I believe they misquoted me on purpose to get my business. If this review causes one person to go with a different company, it is worth it. My experience was miserable. I could have paid the competitors the same and at the very least, experienced some level of transparency. Please use a different company. National Moving Group is not a good moving solution.
UPDATED ON 11/01/2016: I addressed a specific concern about working with a contractor of National Moving Group. When asked, Tommy (the company representative) quickly confirmed that the drivers were "affiliates, not contractors." The definition of affiliate is, "a person or organization officially attached to a larger body" or "officially attach or connect (a subsidiary group or a person) to an organization." The official connection implies to a consumer that the driver works with the same contract agreed upon by the consumer and National Moving Group. We found out on our moving day that the driver is actually a contracted company working on a completely different set of terms and conditions. I feel like we were purposely mislead in order to gain business. We experienced many discrepancies when the driver arrived to pick-up:
National Moving Group told us the driver would arrive between 8AM and Noon on Saturday and that we would get a call 30 minutes or 60 minutes prior to his/her arrival. At 11:30AM, we had not received a call. After contacting National Moving Group, we were told the driver would call within 5 minutes. That did not happen. The driver finally called and arrived after 1:30 PM. Upon arrival, the driver told us that he had been sleeping and he did not know about the pickup until Saturday morning.
Upon arrival, the driver did his inspection of items to be moved. He came back into the apartment with an updated price based on cubic feet. We were told specifically by Tommy at National Moving Group to go by weight, not cubic feet. I even asked Tommy to take cubic feet off of the contract altogether, not understanding why it would be on there if it was not important. I talked to the driver's manager and he said the cost would be significantly lower with cubic feet and that his goal was, "to save us money." This is the opposite of what our salesman, Tommy told us. I feel like were purposely mislead in order to gain business.
After we decided again (based on advice from Tommy) to go with weight, the driver told us he did not come prepared for that because he didn't know we were paying by weight. Our contract was based on weight the entire time based on advice from Tommy. We were not given the chance to watch the truck weight (which the company is required to do) and when we asked, we were told we would not get our stuff if we required it.
The driver tried to charge us $750 for an extra flight of steps. This is after we worked with Tommy specifically on the number of stairs to enter the apartment. The driver quickly changed his mind to $150, but upon showing him the updated contact, he agreed to remove. The driver tried to charge us for packing. We did all packing prior to the move according to instructions from Tommy. We did need and expect to have blankets and tape used to wrap the dressers, couch and chair, but that was specified in the contract as included. The driver told his manager that we needed "lots of packing" which just was not true. The driver reversed that when I told National Moving Group that I would face-time in order to prove.
The driver manager tried to sell us on packing as well, but backed off when we reminded him of the insurance provided in our contract with National Moving Group. It is not a full policy, but it is 60 cents per lb, up to $10,000. The estimate we received from Tommy was 50% lower than the final price. Either Tommy is incapable of making an accurate estimate. Our final list was only five boxes off the original list that the quote was based off of. You can't tell me that five boxes equal 2,500 lbs. Tommy assured me that if anything, the price would be lower because he over estimated. Or The contracted moving company put items on the truck after our pickup in an effort to raise the weight and therefore our price. Either option is unacceptable.
Because the driver did not come prepared to determine weight, he had to leave to get the truck weighed. Apparently the closest weigh in station, 16 miles way, was closed. Sixty minutes later, he called to say that he had to drive to Mebane and that it would take him 1 hour to return. Mebane is approximately 30 miles from Durham so that made sense. The driver never returned and said later that he had to go 64 miles to Mebane. Mebane is not 64 miles away so that information is not accurate.
The manager of the driver and Frank from National Moving Group confirmed 100% that the driver would return on Sunday between 7AM and 8AM. We did not hear from the driver until Frank (an alternate company rep because Tommy was nowhere to be found) called him Saturday morning at 8:20. The driver finally showed up at 8:45, 45 minutes after his team confirmed. Frank even said on Saturday night that, "you have no other option than to trust that he [the driver] will arrive between 7AM and 8AM tomorrow morning."
The driver assured us that we would receive the final weight on Sunday. This only came after repeated calls to both the driver manager and Frank. Frank admitted to his incapability of assisting us over text. He indicated we needed to work details out with the contracted driver, which is the opposite of what Tommy told me.
The driver tried to get us to sign a new contract indicating he had 21 days to deliver our items. We did not sign. We informed him that we signed a contract with National Moving Group that included a 7-day delivery timeline. Even if National Moving Group had good customer service, they cannot do anything about challenges because they are the brokers.
The most disappointing part was when the company asked us to sign a word document stating we would not get our stuff if we provided a negative review. A word document and any payment made in cash is not professional. It was my mistake as a consumer for not following up on reviews for this company. The good reviews are fake profiles and the negative reviews are real consumers.
The company is not reputable. Shame on me for trusting. They have a DOT number and have the proper paperwork filed, but they are not honest. If this review causes one person to go with a different company, it is worth it. Go ahead and pay for and use a reputable company. You might have challenges, but you will not question whether its a scam or not.

I have mixed emotions: Ordering was extremely upsetting. Brandon claimed time and time again NMG was different because you weighed items, not by how much room was taken up in the truck. So I sold some very expensive but heavy items so I wouldn't have to pay to haul. Then when they came to load my stuff THEY CHARGED ME PER SQUARE FOOT which is EXACTLY what Brandon told me time and time again you didn't do that made your company different. He straight up lied and was extremely deceiving. It was recorded via phone so I would appreciate if that was dealt with. I know that he brings in a lot of business but there are other ways to do it than lying.
Pick up company was great! Couldn't be more satisfied. Delivery was more than disappointing - box was lost, things were damaged, & driver trashed my yard. Still haven't received package. Tami was AMAZING! She took care of me and has done everything in her power to solve all the issues the drivers created! I could not be more happy with my customer service from her. She deserves so much from you guys. Without her, I would be probably suing your company. Things are not completely worked out yet but they are getting figured out thanks to her.

This was the worst experience I have ever had with ANY company, not just movers. Here's a summary of what happened: Among other hassles, National committed an administrative error that resulted in a two-week delay in the delivery of my shipment of household goods and cost me several hundred dollars. I emailed National to schedule my delivery and then called the next day to confirm everything was all set. National confirmed that we were good to go and that my delivery was scheduled as requested.
I waited about two weeks and called back a few days before the scheduled delivery in order to re-confirm that we were on schedule. At this time, National realized they had failed to take any action on my request. They had simply sat on the information for the previous two weeks. The rep I was working with, Thomas **, blamed the error on National's customer service department. The customer service department blamed it on Thomas.
Because of this delay, I was forced to spend several hundred dollars on temporary housing while I waited for my shipment of household goods to arrive. Not only did National Moving Group deny my request to be reimbursed for my additional expense, they were incredibly difficult to work with. On six different occasions, their customer service department failed to follow up with me on the timeline they promised. As soon as they had my money, they basically stopped paying any attention to me. Avoid this company at all costs!

This company goes above and beyond for their customers. They strive for accomplishments. They do everything in their power to make your move as pleasant as possible. I love them. It's not a lot of companies nowadays that goes that extra mile for their clients unless you rolling in dough. This company and staff, and ESPECIALLY Frank and Tammy would make you a part of the family (they're part of the management team which this company should be grateful to have them) and management makes you a priority which is at the top of my list for me. I would recommend all my friends and family to do business with this company because I know they will be taken care of not just be another number or be taken advantage of. Any company that works their ass off for you is a keeper and I'll keep recommending to any and all who will listen. Thank you National you are truly appreciated.

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY TO MOVE YOUR ITEMS! My move from Washington to Chicago took thirty - 30! - days with National. I was constantly shifted to different personnel and given empty promises. Boxes were crushed and a bed was damaged - but given National's service throughout the process it was not worth fighting over since I knew there would be no response. I was also promised on multiple occasions that I would receive a credit due to the insane amount of time it took to receive my items. However, once my items did finally arrive no one from National would return my calls.
I would ABSOLUTELY recommend that anyone looking to move find a different company to work with. Unless, of course, you enjoy not knowing where your personal items are for weeks on end and then enjoy having them arrive rain-damaged from sitting in a storage unit somewhere. National uses - from my experience - the absolute lowest-cost subcontractor drivers possible and pieces off the move to multiple companies. What's worse, it is painfully evident that National is not able to adequately manage this subcontracts and for four weeks I was never able to determine where my items actually were. The entire process was very stressful and one of the worst service experiences I have ever had.

Everyone knows that moving is one of the most stressful things anyone can do, so having someone to help when things get even worse is important. National Moving Group has a customer care representative, Tammy, who put every effort into smoothing things out and trying to put us at ease. There were others with the group who need a bit of schooling in customer care and I wish they had taken a little more time to investigate the moving company they broker to. The actual company that has our items did not honor the contract provided by this company and I can't address the final outcome because the items are in somewhere U.S.A. right now. I know all of us have learned a lot in these last 2 weeks. I will add an addendum once the items arrive.
