Cita Van Lines Inc

I have filed a complaint w the BBB. My things took 10 days to go from tenn to fl. I was over charged and noone knows why or an explain the reason. All the things I had gotten cause my mom passed a few wks b4 the move is all damaged, broken or useless. Your company has given me emotional stress on top of everything. The boxes were all smashed they lost some of my things, I have other people's boxes. Glass and block soot is on e erything. All my plastic 3 or 4 drawer organizer are smashed, the lids ruined, tore open or smashed. I have every pic of every item that your company has destroyed. I have filed a complaint w your co as well as the BBB. I want reimbursement for damages refund of what I've paid, and for the emotional stress I have been in since the 1st day. I keep opening boxes and keep funding more things broken, I filed a claim and noone has called to fix this issue.

Moved from NE to TX. The movers showed up with a different quote than what we had most recently so we and the movers sat around for an hour and a half waiting for a response from their manager (who was asleep we found out) to go forward with the move. The movers themselves were nice, patient and moved my stuff relatively quickly and safely so kudos to the guys doing the ACTUAL job.

The problems only started there. The delivery time was supposed to be 2-4 days, turned up being 7 days. They said early on multiple times they would give me a 48 hour notice of a move in window (date and time). I then called EVERY DAY to see if they have an update so I can be sure to be there for the move in and oversee damages and let them in. They never had a delivery date and time and by the time they gave me one it was 1230pm the day before for a 9am delivery. I was still in NE waiting to hear back from them so I can drive down with my family and prepare for move in (rather than spending hundreds a night in a hotel). I called them immediately and eventually they told me that they would be able to delay the delivery to the following day, so we decided the next day to drive out of state to be there the morning of the move with keys in hand.

Then the REAL problems started. On the drive down they called me asking me to let them in because they were outside the apartment at 1030am. I had to pull off the road and go back and forth for AN HOUR with their undertrained and careless manager. She was extremely disrespectful, talked over me and kept saying there is nothing she can do (Mind you I was very calm and trying to work it out but she was trying her best to escalate emotions and panic). SHe said I pay a $650 delay fee or they movers will drop my items in storage nearby. WTF!?

I called my TX location and the owner there was kind enough to assist and let the movers in and show them where to go. That being said, the movers were then looking to move our items in while it was raining. Then, since I was not on site to pay the movers directly I had to pay remotely which was a hassle itself but eventually got it out and the movers moved in.

When I arrived, I noticed that ALL the furniture that was taken down to be moved and PROMISED to be reassembled on site.... NONE of it was reassembled. My best guess is I wasn't there to help them locate the screws and bolts that the previous movers taped around the different disassembled furniture. I could understand that if we werent there and they didnt know where the items were to reassemble that they would avoid it, but they NEVER called, texted, or asked me directly where it was to reassemble.

Lastly, without giving away too much information, I overpaid the movers and when I requested a return of the separate overpayment they had the audacity to give me the run around for over a week and then at the end state that they never got it. I had to then issue a legal challenge and BAM my money was returned in a few days. Worst experience moving ever. Would absolutely stay away NO MATTER WHAT. If you go through a broker or third party mover, ask their delivery and if CITA comes up, you should stop right there and find someone else.

I recently hired Cita Van Lines Inc to move my furniture from Missouri to Washington, and it was an absolute nightmare. From start to finish, this company displayed nothing but incompetence and rudeness. Many of my items arrived damaged, and they completely failed to assemble anything they disassembled at the time of pick-up, despite this being a clear stipulation in our contract.

The customer service was atrocious—rude, dismissive, and utterly unprofessional. The manager was no better, displaying a shocking lack of accountability and courtesy. To make matters worse, they blocked my phone number when I tried to follow up on the compensation they owe me for the damaged items. This is not just poor service; it's outright fraud.

I have already filed a complaint against them with the USDOT (FMCSA). I strongly urge anyone considering this company to look elsewhere. They are irresponsible, dishonest, and a complete disgrace to the moving industry. Avoid them at all costs!

We had Leo and his crew come today and did a fantastic job, efficient, fast and professional. Everything was explained from the beginning as we had hoped. Ended up paying a little bit extra for packing. Packing that was not in the first quote so we were expecting it. We really appreciate the care they put into our stuff. Highly recommend this company after having a bad experience a couple of years back with different moving company.

Thank you guys for all the effort and professionalism.

Coastal Movers and CITA Van Lines are to companies you don’t want to do business with! We signed a contract with Coastal Movers in end of May to move our belongings from Dallas, TX to Corpus Christi, TX for 2,179.50 with a 1,000.00 Deposit. CITA Van Line shows up June 2nd and starts writing a new contract for all most 7,000.00, with no explanation. Trying to reach Coastal Movers was a waste of time as no one would answer the phone. By the time I caught on as to what was going on I lost almost 5,000.00 and still have no belongings. Contacted a lawyer and trying to sue for our belongings and money back is now costing even more money.

Their packing service was a lifesaver. The entire crew was helpful, understanding, and adaptable throughout the whole process, and they made the move a breeze. They packed everything neatly and securely, and they labeled everything clearly. They also handled everything with care and respect, and they did not waste any time or resources. They were very courteous and cooperative, and they made sure we were satisfied with their work. They made our relocation stress-free and enjoyable.
