Long-distance move from Nebraska to New Jersey

Budget can lines were very accommodating.

Budget was very easy to work with, very accommodating and they stuck to their estimate, we are very appreciative for what they have done for us. I will definitely recommend their services to friend and family. Their staff was very helpful through this moving experience.

Service cost: $1700

Long-distance move from Illinois to California

Move from Chicago to California - Bad Experience.

Like many, budget van lines subcontracts the actual driving to truck companies. in this case, they used Moving Central. the delivery arrived late. two bikes were bent (broken). the movers broke a baluster in the stairwell of the home we moved into; they insisted on moving in the front (instead of the back stairwell), and they marked-up the front walls heavily. when filing a claim, Moving Central required us to mail in papers to its claim agent. the agent said they would not cover the broken baluster even after we provided the $150 repair receipt. Budget said it was surprised that Moving Central would not cover damage to the home but would not help much. the claim was ongoing from september 2012 to january 2013. during discussions with Moving Central, they said they changed claim agents, so we had to start the  process over again with a 120 day possible resolution period. the bottom line  is that Budget Van Lines' network of partners is poor with poor service, lack of professinalism and lack of responsiveness. beware. . . .

Service cost: $7000

Long-distance move from Colorado to Louisiana

Comments.

John Matthew was very easy to work with. He stayed in constant contact with me, made requests for specific delivery dates for me, was always very professional and very pleasant to speak with! We had never moved this way before and the people at Budget made the process easy, which was nice as moving is very stressful. Thanks John for all your help!

Long-distance move from California to Illinois

Booking and follow up.

I was disappointed with G&G shipping because they severely damaged 3 of the 19 pieces of furniture shipped -but budget remained involved till the issues related to this we're settled.  I would recommend getting budget to provide more than one shipping company to choose from.

Long-distance move from Iowa to Alaska

Exactly as described.

This move went without a hitch. I contacted budget who set me up for around a thousand dollars less than other companies. The movers arrived in the given window, were courteous and moved my things quickly. All my items ended up where they were meant, undamaged, dry, and in perfect condition. I would absolutely recommend.

Long-distance move from West Virginia to Virginia

Worse Service Ever.

I booked with them a week in advance, and on the actual day of moving, they cancelled my order without any prior notice. I would give negative 50 starts to them if I could. Would never go with them again. Worst mistake ever.

Move size: 1 Bedroom Home Service cost: $2500

Local move within Washington

Scam.

They did not offer me a quote but forwarded me to a multitude of different companies. I'm receiving calls from +10 different moving companies unexpectedly over the course of 3-4 days. Each one has my information as if I went to their website.

Budget Van Lines sold my information out to these companies.

Long-distance move from California to Colorado

Budget Van Lines.

Do NOT go through this moving company. They are terrible! I spent thousands of dollars moving my stuff, and it took over three weeks for it to get delivered. It is not worth it all!! Go through the larger companies or do it yourself. Terrible company!! They were way outside the promised delivery time!!

Move size: Studio Service cost: $2500
