After five previous moves, we were looking forward to a smooth transition to our forever home. We chose United Van Lines, expecting the best coverage and a hassle-free experience. Our quote was $6,061.11 for a move from ******** to ********. However, the issues began when we struggled to secure a moving date. Despite numerous inquiries, we were only informed on February 5th that our belongings would be delivered the next day, coinciding with our house closing.

I do NOT recommend hiring this company. When we moved and our stuff arrived at our new house, our couch was damaged. There are rips on all corners. We submitted our claim with the company and it was denied. Once the truck was packed and loaded at our original location, they required a signature with no explanation at all. It was our first time moving and we did it through my husbands company so we did not think we had anything to worry about. We were wrong.

RenoRelo Worldwide, via United VanLines was a huge mistake. At over $7,300 I was expecting so much more. Initially a person was scheduled to come out and see what we were moving but instead decided to do a video chat at the last minute, of which the audio was only one way so I didn't know if she could even hear me despite numerous attempts asking her to give me a thumbs up if she can, she could but just chose to ignore me.

Do not use this company, I was treated with dis-respect; individuals who loaded my home in Denver from Buehler - part of United Van Lines were unprepared for a piano and antique items even though they were in the bid. My bid was over by 3000 pounds even though a loader accused me of lying about my items. I had damaged items at destination and have reached out to customer service with no response from Heather Pennebaker. I was told she would get back to me - that was August 1, 2018.

Wow buyers beware...........we asked for a quote to move 11,000 lbs of house hold goods from San Diego to Las Vegas. We had suffered a fire loss and the items were cleaned, restored and repacked by Serve Pro.......(who is great) This person was rude and insulting and would not consider doing business with us because he wanted all the items unpacked for his review. We told him that is not necessary and we have our own Insurance for coverage of any damage that might happen.

I filed a complaint with the BBB against Browning Moving and Storage located in Lakeland Florida because that's the only contact I had and that's who I paid to move me, but their response to my complaint was to file it against United Van Lines. So first, beware of who is responsible for your move. Browning Moving and Storage packed a box that was clearly marked 'CLEANING SUPPLIES" on two sides. They put the box directly on top of my server damaging the top, bottom and sides of the server.

TERRIBLE COMPANY! Honestly, I would never recommend hiring this company for your move. Initially, they seemed professional and like they cared about our moving needs, but once the move started, it all went downhill from there. The driver was careless with our stuff - and the delivery in Florida was terrible. They did not finish unpacking and made me sign the waiver for them to leave without doing any inventory check with me.

We moved long distance in the fall of 2022 with Mohawk United Van Lines. The entire experience was frustrating and protracted. Our items were mishandled. The unloaders were hired from a facebook add, and were inexperienced. There were 110 articles damaged. It took five months to complete the claims process. It took two weeks for United to contact the company performing the repairs and would not even talk to us about the unrepairable items needing replacement until after the repairs were complete.

Excellent service from Andrews United Van Lines out of Streetsboro, OH. Angleo, Residential Move Consultant, prepared me for the move by answering my questions and providing packing tips. Roison, move consultant, kept me informed on the time the driver and staff would show up. She kept in touch with me days before the move, during the loading day, and the date our household goods were delivered. We had individualized attention to our move.

This was my fourth time using United Van Lines. This move was two parts. Part one was a move from AZ to MN. My contact was great. Kept me informed throughout the process. Truck and men arrived promptly and were very polite. Furniture arrived in MN when scheduled. The second part of the move was going into storage. Again the men arrived promptly and again very polite. Actually the were the same two men who loaded the truck going to MN. Thank you United Van Lines for taking care of me again.

We recently moved from Illinois to Florida. United gave us excellent service at a fair price. We have moved with United three times and have never had an issue with damage or loss. Highly recommended.

Ace Moving was great. The previous reviews I read and the reason I chose them was because of excellent service. And they were not wrong. There are many horror stories about movers and this was not one of those bad ones but a really great one. Wonderful people doing a wonderful job. Our furniture was packed professionally, and moved with real care from the house and loaded onto a truck that looked like it could hold the state of CT in it.
