I contacted North American Van lines and they directed me to baymeadow movers. The service rep on call was polite and helpful. However, I am deeply disappointed in the packing, and transportation services. Packers have packed stuff so poorly that some of my stuff got broken. They packed my shoes with my kitchenware. Laundry stuff was packed with my kids toys, they packed breakable glassware with my bedding set. All in all a very poor strategy to pack stuff.

We really try to do everything we possibly can to ensure a smooth and efficient move day. We hope you will understand that sometimes there are some items out of our control or we may under-estimate the weight of items during a visual inspection.

Terrible experience made worse by owner. Used previously and did great job but this time was painful. Have expensive antique furniture and was told by salesman they would send best experienced antique crew. The crew sent did not know how to handle antiques. To make experience worse, they broke an expensive carved wood buffet and owner refused to repair. First he would not return call so we had to keep calling. Not only did he refuse to repair but was extremely rude and unprofessional.

You are welcome to contact the office at ([phone removed] and speak with Mike. We spoke with your wife the day after the move, which was two days ago.

The worse move of my life. They were five hours late getting to the pickup house, the crew didn't show up so there was only a driver and partner, two people for a 4200 square foot house, 22,000 lbs of furniture. To try and keep on schedule, we wrapped and loaded furniture for over three hours until the additional crew of two showed up. We all loaded until after midnight.

Mr. Jones, I'm going to assume this review was meant for a different company as we have no employees with those names mentioned and have nothing to do with a Colonial Van Lines. We are an agent for North American Van Lines and are located at 6419 Philips Highway in Jacksonville, FL 32216.

The problems started with the rouge driver we had. The first problem was that he picked up an unauthorized load for part of our truck. Due to this, part of our load which should have fit in one truck was placed into storage in their warehouse until it would be convenient to deliver to us several states away. Put that solved some of the problem when they "lost" several hundred dollars worth of power lawn tools which were never recovered. Then we paid nearly $800 for the unpacking service.

This was the 2nd time we’ve used Baymeadows Movers. This first time, January 2024, was a 10/10 experience - the two gentleman were thorough, prepped the area with mats and door padding, and were very professional. Our move last weekend was a totally different experience. No prep to the walk way or doors. 3 out of the 4 movers were complaining the whole time, constantly asking how much more stuff we had.

We apologize for the frustration you experienced during your move. That is definitely not the service we are accustomed to providing. Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review so we can address this with your crew to ensure it doesn’t happen in the future.

We paid for full packing and moving. The packing is a "per box" kind of thing and let me tell you... when I unpacked, I was shocked at how "lightly" boxed everything was. The cost for packing was almost double what I was quoted as a "worst case price". They did a good job, but I've hired packers that were paid on a flat rate and they packed my house with almost half the number of boxes. Same amount of stuff. The guys who did the moving (both loading and unloading) were great. Both teams.

Mr. Lester, I just pulled your file and went thru all of your notes and invoicing. It seems when we estimated we were told 40 to 50 percent of a 2600 sq ft house was being moved. That weight was estimated at 10,000 pounds.

Baymeadows Moving and Storage did not treat my mom fairly. They originally promised 3 people to pack up her items. ONE person showed up to pack. No explanation as to why the other two did not show up and no phone call letting her know what was going on. Two people show up two hours late and then go to lunch at 12. Unbelievable. My mom was very stressed about her move. The night before, she emptied out her kitchen cupboards to expedite things.

Hi KW. Thank you for taking time away from your schedule to let us know how the experience was. So prior to you leaving this review, of course we had already talked about how we didn’t meet your expectations, which for us, is never a good day.

I've used Baymeadows Movers twice now in the past year. Both times I have had an excellent experience with them. On the most recent move, Cori, Mike and Fabio were prompt, courteous, careful, efficient and hard-working. What a great crew! And Robin in the office is so pleasant to deal with, and is very responsive. There's no question I would go straight to Baymeadows for a future moving need, and highly recommend them.

We received 7 estimates from various companies including Baymeadows Moving. This was a move for an out of state move. We went with Baymeadows Moving because they gave us the most reasonable price and we're upfront with us. Dayan was a pleasure to deal with and I can't say enough good things about her and the assistance she provided to us. When the crew arrived in GA, they were fast and efficient. Thumbs up for the whole crew, polite and wokred so hard.

I had a fantastic moving experience with Baymeadows. From Liliana answering the phone and assisting me with boxes, to the efficient and professional crew lead by Lamont on our moving day. Lamont was kind, efficient and showed good leadership over his crew. He even made sure that my washer and dryer were functioning properly and were scratch free before leaving. Chris personally texted me the next day to make sure all went well with the move.

We moved from Jacksonville, FL to Pensacola this past week. After calling another mover that gave us the run-around, we called Baymeadows Moving. We spoke with Lillian, who explained the process to us, and assigned Michael to come to our home and perform an inventory. From there, we were given a quote. Michael also offered some money saving suggestions that turned out to be productive. On moving day, Frank showed up on time and started the organization process.
