Long-distance move from Dahlgren, IL to Dover, DE

My experience with First National Van Lines was great.

My experience with First National Van Lines was great. They were very responsive, quick, and helpful. I was amazed at their efficiency during the move! All of the movers wore masks and made the experience safe during the pandemic. A day before my move I had to organize storage for all my stuff and they helped me with that despite the last minute notice. I highly recommend this company! I will definitely use their services again for my next move.

Long-distance move from Portland, OR to San Antonio, TX

Horrendous Experience, Deceptive Practices, Negative Stars Needed.

Horrendous experience. Our move day was a nightmare. In general I tend to believe they purposely underestimate the quantity of your belongings in order to secure your business. Once they have you under contact, you're locked in and you ultimately just keep paying them more. First, The local team (from a different company, FN is a broker) that was sent to us had a completely different contract and that contract had contradictory contract language. We were being told one thing by our FN rep, but presented with paperwork that said something entirely different from the local team (i.e. pay for only the space you use vs. pay for it ALL, even if truck is partially empty) Second, we were surprised on move day that our move day payment needed to be substantially more than what was agreed upon with FN- thousands of dollars in addition. WE had to facilitate the negotiation of these contract discrepancies between the FN and the local moving company on the morning of move day. Our move was delayed over an hour while this had to be tensely hashed out with FN, the local team and us. 3rd -The job foreman was over the top unprofessional, disrespectful in my face yelling and rude to both me and my husband. We were told we were bad customers, that we shouldn't have been watching them do their work and he specifically told me I should not have been "sitting on my butt eating and watching them work". 4th- At the end of the day they nearly walked out on the job with a huge portion of our belongings unpacked- told us it was "not their problem", they were done. This was karma for our insistence the contract details at the outset of the day were in order. 5th -They broke my treadmill in their haste and rush by totally snapping the wires off and completely distorted/ bent the prongs on the electrical plug. 6th- They put a hole in a door at our move out residence. 7th- This was a full pack move -but they left all these valuable belongings just sitting out or on the wall that I'm now having to rush and arrange alternate transit for (a heavy large floating shelf, a decorative star, a bin of homeschool materials, a white board, shelving for my daughters' bookshelf. All these items are heavy and costly to ship. Our representative from First National has been largely absent from this whole mess and still has not even called us back. FN hired the team sent to us. I emphatically DO NOT recommend First National Van Lines.

I wrote numerous negative reviews online regarding the companies involved in our move, one specifically on Google. We were contacted by Lee P, from P Arbitration Group in June 2020. When Lee P and I spoke on the first occasion he knew of this review and read it to me over the phone. Lee claimed he received our info. from the movers “as required by law” and our case was referred to him as our arbitrator, the party to recover money for us from the moving company. He explained he would go before a board (supposedly appointed by the Federal Government) and if he won, the board would require the movers to pay us monetary damages of a sum determined by the board. He explained this whole process was required and under federal government oversight. We were required to spend no money, only provide a detailed list of damages. My husband and I provided photos, videos and a document that detailed the damages, our treatment by the movers and our overall poor experience. We signed an intent to arbitrate agreement via email, assigned a Case # AND I was required to take down ALL my negative reviews as a condition to arbitration.

On August 11, 2020 we were contacted by Lee via email and phone that we “won” a settlement of $xxx. A condition of receiving the money was to not re-post any negative reviews, which we agreed to via email. After this we did not receive any money and Lee P will not return emails or phone calls. After doing a little more research, I have discovered that he works for First National Van Lines which he did not disclose when he contacted us. He positioned himself as an independent party to arbitrate on our behalf as required by the federal government.

I’m not sure if any laws were broken in this, but posing as an unbiased party when one actually works for the offending party I find grossly disingenuous and contemptible. I’m not privy to the legal reparations processes outlined by the federal government for national movers or even if such a process exists. I’m assuming the point in all of this was to trick us into removing my reviews which I have subsequently reposted with vehemence.

Local move from Chicago, IL to Herrin, IL

I have been scammed

I have had the absolute WORST experience with First National Vine Lines. I am literally shaking from frustration and would need to write a novel to explain all the reasons why. I am in a mission to prevent anyone I possibly can from making the same mistake I have made. Please believe that they are complete scanners and stay far, far away!

Local move from Savannah, GA to Augusta, GA

Estimate was FAR too low

My final price ended up being more than DOUBLE the original estimate. The scheduling etc and the contractor who actually did the work were great but the final price was very painful. Do NOT use them unless you have money to burn.

Moving is stressful

Moving is stressful, but First National Van Lines made it as easy as possible. They were the cheapest quote, yet took great care of my belongings and were very quick. Plus, the guys were really nice! I would absolutely recommend using them.

They were punctual and quick.

They were punctual and quick. They had all of my boxes and furniture in the truck within 20 mins from a 2nd floor walk down. They were about their business and provided the best moving experience I’ve ever had. Well worth it.

Excellent movers, fair price.

Excellent movers, fair price. They stuck around and waited when the elevator in my new building was occupied by my roommates movers (who were not efficient at all), and it didn’t even matter much because they were so efficient with everything. Nothing was damaged, will be using them again.

PRICE DOUBLED DAY OF MOVE

DON'T USE THESE JOKERS. THE INITIAL QUOTE WAS OVER 400 CUBIC FEET OFF THE ACTUAL TOTAL WHICH ALMOST DOUBLED MY COST DAY OF MOVING!!!! THE INITIAL SALES AGENT REFUSED TO CALL ME BACK AND I WAS ON THE PHONE MULTIPLE TIMES WITH CUSTOMER SERVICE THE DAY BEFORE MOVING. I'M ONLY GIVING THEM 1 STAR BECAUSE THE CREW WAS EXCELLENT.
