Rude service from the minute they arrived. We had multiple issues- never tried to reconcile and figure things out. Refused to put together a bed because it was “too complicated”- but they didn’t even try, OR look at the instructions and pictures that came with it. Scratched wall and floor. Called the supervisor Matt, was absolutely unpleasant and unhelpful- again, didn’t even try to reconcile the problems, just complained to me. Shocking service!!

Used these guys for a move three years ago, but I noticed I posted for the wrong company. Do not use this company. Ever. I booked a cross country move with Mayflower and McLaughlin is the local company Mayflower contracted with. Overall, McLaughlin is by far the worst moving company I’ve ever used. Horrible in every possible way. Beginning with the move out, the movers showed up almost an hour late to the end of the two hour window they originally gave me.

DO NOT USE McLaughlin Transportation. I give them one star but that is only because you can not rate negative stars. The moving company had parts of shipment stolen from their warehouse, lost damaged or destroyed about $10,000 dollars …
1-star Google reviewAlex K.a year ago
We used McLaughlin for an interstate move last month, and while the loading and delivery crews were professional, the packing team and customer service were unacceptable. The two packers, Mike and Mike, were careless and unprofessional. They left several drawers and closets unpacked, stacked boxes directly on expensive furniture (including white chairs), and made the entire house smell like cigarettes from chain smoking throughout the day. They didn’t bring basic tools and kept asking us to borrow ours.

I’m currently contracted through this company for a military move and the experience has been the worst Ive had through 14 years. I was scheduled for a pack out on June 24th and 25th with a load on June 26th. On the 24th, only one packer showed up. On the 25th, no one showed up while I stayed at the home until 10pm with very little contact from the company. On the 26th, again one packer showed up. It is now June 30th and the house is still not finished and calls and emails to the company have gone unanswered.

McLaughlin Transportation failed to pick-up my items on THREE separate dates. On each of these dates I was not informed the pick-up would not occur and after waiting for the crew’s arrival, was obliged to call, text, and email multiple representatives several times to obtain any information. The published office telephone numbers for McLaughlin Transportation Systems, Inc. went unanswered and no voicemails were returned.

4-star Google reviewAndrew P.a month ago
Moving in general and cross country moves especially are always extraordinarily stressful. I would, however, recommend McLaughlin Transportation for a cross country move. Yes, the packing crew badly mishandled paperwork on loading day but they actually did a really good job packing fragile items—not a single piece of glass (cup, plate, mug, etc) was broken over the course of a ~2,000 mile move.

I was moving from a 3-bedroom house in Montana to New Hampshire. Mclaughlin Transportation Systems was responsible for the unloading part of my move. The truck arrived on time with a crew of three, and in just half a day, they efficiently moved hundreds of boxes and multiple furniture pieces across three different buildings. Their work was very professional, fast, and impressive.
