      I first spoke with Andrew at Northern Moving Systems about a year ago when I was looking to buy a house. He was personable, patient, and friendly, so when I finally found my house, I was happy to work with him. I was quoted $5,300 for my two-bedroom apartment and a storage unit that was only about 50% full. Before the move, I got rid of a second bedroom set, my dining set, and two patio chairs. I also transported a 4’ x 8’ trailer of belongings myself at an additional cost.

      On moving day, I was told the price would be about $3,000 more because I had more belongings than expected. The movers showed me that I was right at my allotted truck space, so I thought everything was fine. I was then told the movers were wrong. Only 12 crates from my storage unit were loaded, yet I was charged another $2,100, supposedly for being 100 cubic feet over. Andrew even said he didn’t understand the charge and would look into it. Instead, the driver demanded $2,100 in cash or Zelle and threatened to put my belongings into storage if I didn’t pay. I received conflicting answers from the company, and nobody could explain how $100 cubic feet over at $7 per cubic foot became $2,100.

      Several items were also damaged because boxes marked “FRAGILE” and “GLASS” were dropped and stacked carelessly. The driver was also angry that I didn’t tip him. I’m still waiting for mediation and have received little to no follow-up despite reaching out. What started as a positive experience with Andrew turned into one of the worst moving experiences I’ve ever had. I cannot recommend Northern Moving Systems.

      I am beyond disappointed with my experience so far with this company. Knowing the challenges with the industry overall, I asked multiple questions prior to signing a contract for a long distance move between Virginia and Vermont. I have copies of my correspondence specifically asking about the time it will take to receive delivery. Note that the contract states it may take 3-14 business days. I followed up in writing with a question and was told NO, for a move of my size it would be 2-4 days. My conversations was with sales, so it seems they were just trying to make the sale, because now that they have all our belongings on a truck, I am being told it will be more than 2 weeks and they can't be sure when it will be delivered.

      On top of that, if they ask you to do an estimate via video, avoid it!!! I should have listened to other reviews on that as well. We did a video call for them to provide an estimate for what it would cost to move us. As we approached the move, it was clear we would have more boxes than estimated and provided them an update. On move day, we were further surprised when they told us that we (note we didn't do the estimate, they did) underestimated by 25% the cubic footage we would need. So if you do a video estimate, just assume it will be under by approximately that amount. It is clear it is on the consumer and I feel very naive. The movers themselves were very nice and worked hard to load the truck carefully. If we were reviewing just them (Lopez Movers) and NOT Northern Moving and their sales, it would be different.
