In their own words
Victory Van lines was one of the worst hires I've ever made. They dropped the ball at every turn. Worst yet, they refused to address any of the issues after the fact. The packing was a complete disaster. Outdoor furniture items and lighting were placed in the same boxes as clothing. Priceless items and family heirlooms were destroyed. Many items, including assembly hardware, were mislabeled and wrapped up as one giant mess; others were missing labels altogether.
We are very sorry to hear about your experience and sincerely apologize for the damaged heirlooms, chaotic packing, missed scheduling, poor communication, and rude conduct from our team. This falls far short of the standards we expect and … More
I would never go to this place nor get their service in the future. The front desk and the office staffs are rude and unprofessional. They asked me to come pick it up at 11am and delayed to release my paper for 30 minutes by 11.30 am They said it's almost lunch time come back at 1pm. I got there at 1pm still they didn't make the release paper finally got it. Asked me to go to the loading dock. No clear direction what to do when I get there. The staffs at the loading dock are very helpful and professional.
We sincerely apologize for the negative experience you encountered with our front desk and office staff. Your feedback regarding the delays and lack of clear communication is concerning and will be addressed with the team to ensure … More
Victory Along with Allied Van Lines performed miserably in connection with my move. I would give it no stars if that were possible. I got three bids for my move from national companies all of which came in at around the same price and it was a very expensive cross country move, Virginia to Utah, totaling 20k plus. I chose Allied and Victory because the Allied representative represented to me repeatedly that they had the expertise to move my Steinway grand piano and my classic car safely.
The people that I spoke with during quotation, pick up and delivery and follow up could not have been nicer or more pleasant to speak with. However, the overall experience and coordination was far from stellar. I opted to pack my own belongings and had I not been extra careful and meticulous in packing, I would have had many more items damaged in the move. Even the solidly packed book boxes were partially crushed, bent and torn open in places.
Hi Joel, I'm very sorry for the inconveniences and damage to your goods. I can assure you that Victory Van does not find this type of service acceptable and we are very disappointed to hear of the negative experience you had with your … More
If I could give zero stars, I would. The packers arrived early but were there 13 hours to pack a 2.5 bedroom home, keeping us up very late considering the loading truck was coming early the next morning. The loaders seem surprised by what all we had to load - one made a comment that I truly didn't appreciate about our belongings. They need to keep in mind when you are in a customer's house, don't even whisper something you wouldn't say to their faces. So disrespectful to go in someone's home and act this way.
We sincerely apologize for the negative experience you had with our packing services. Your feedback is crucial, and we take these matters seriously. It is unacceptable that your belongings were not handled with the care they deserve, and we understand the distress this has caused you.
Our Victory Van experience began in early 2022 as we were planning to sell our home in Northern Virginia and move to the mountains of western NC. We knew our belongings would be in storage for a while and we knew that a semi would not be able to deliver our belongings once we found our mountain home, so we requested that our belongings be loaded in large crates to reduce handling. Our Victory Van consultant assured us that the crates would be stored in a climate-controlled facility and could be delivered to NC.
Thank you for sharing your experience. We sincerely apologize for the issues you encountered during your move, particularly regarding the handling and storage conditions of your belongings. It is unacceptable that we did not meet the … More
Victory Van is the world’s WORST company – avoid them at all costs. We stored our 5-bedroom house’s belongings with Victory for 11 years while we were overseas, latterly adding some items from my deceased parent’s home in 2015 and 2018. In all, they were paid over $150,000 on this “service”. On delivery, the crew badly mishandled several items, all captured photographically, and as we unpacked, a further disaster unfolded, also thoroughly photo documented. Stink bugs crawled out of everything, including our beds.
If I could give zero stars, I would. We had a confirmed delivery appointment with Victory Van Corporation for 4:00 PM. Our driver showed up early at 3:00 PM, only to find that the dock was CLOSED — with no prior notice, no call, no email, nothing. Completely unprofessional. We tried to reach out for assistance, but they were completely uncooperative and offered no help or explanation. Because of their lack of communication and disregard for scheduled appointments, we missed our next load, which was already booked.
We sincerely apologize for the experience you encountered with our service. We understand that timely communication and professionalism are crucial in the logistics industry, and we regret falling short of your expectations.

Speedy, clean packing and confident items will arrive without breakage. They arrived on time and carefully handled items. Evelyn and Christian were great.
Thank you for the wonderful review and for trusting us with your shipment. We're glad the packing, timing, and handling met your expectations. I will pass your kind words along to Evelyn and Christian. We appreciate your business and look forward to serving you again.
Just finished a pack out and Aaron and Marisol were so fast and professional. This is my second move with Marisol and both went great!
Thank you, Ethan — we’re so glad Aaron and Marisol provided fast, professional service for your pack out. We truly appreciate you choosing us again and are happy both moves went smoothly. We look forward to helping with any future moves.
I had a really great experience with Ron B. when he came to our home for an in-house estimate. He was professional, kind, and incredibly thorough. What stood out most was that he took extra time to sit down with me after the estimate to talk through some of my concerns about the move. He answered all my questions and helped me feel more confident and prepared. It’s clear he really knows his stuff and cares about the people he’s helping. I truly appreciated his time and expertise!
Thank you for your wonderful feedback, Karmen! We’re thrilled to hear that Ron B. provided you with such a positive experience during your in-house estimate. His professionalism and attentiveness to your concerns demonstrate our commitment … More
They helped with my cross country move. Very happy with the service. Austin, Aaron and Juan Campos were the movers assigned to me. They were great and accommodating.
Thank you, Aakash! We’re thrilled Austin, Aaron, and Juan Campos made your cross-country move smooth and accommodating. We appreciate you choosing our team and for the kind words. If you ever need moving help again or want to recommend us, we’re here to help.
