Loadrans LLC

I recently used Coastal Moving Services (working with their subcontractor Loadlan LLC) for a cross-country move, and it was hands down the worst moving experience I've ever had. This company should come with a warning label.

What Went Wrong:

CREW DRINKING ON THE JOB: The moving crew was literally drinking beer while handling my belongings. When I confronted the foreman about this completely unprofessional and dangerous behavior, he actually tried to justify it by saying "it gives his crew energy." Absolutely unbelievable and unacceptable.

- Massive Property Damage: They damaged approximately 80% of my belongings. This wasn't just minor scuffs - we're talking about extensive damage to furniture, personal items, and valuables that required extensive insurance claims and documentation.

- Deceptive Pricing: The final cost was significantly higher than quoted. They hit you with hidden fees and charges that weren't disclosed upfront, turning what seemed like a reasonable estimate into a financial nightmare. The first quote was $ 21K, but it ballooned to $ 38K.

- Zero Accountability: Their contract is deliberately written to protect them while leaving you completely vulnerable. They take no responsibility for the damage they cause because their agreement barely holds them accountable for anything.

- Complete Lack of Care: It was obvious they had zero respect for my belongings. Items were thrown around, improperly packed, and handled with complete disregard because they knew their contract protected them from consequences.

My Recommendation:

RUN. Find literally any other moving company. The combination of unprofessional drunk workers, deceptive business practices, and a contract designed to screw you over makes this the worst possible choice for your move.

Bottom Line: Coastal Moving Services and Loadlan LLC are in the business of taking your money while destroying your belongings, all while their crews drink beer and laugh about it. The 80% damage rate speaks for itself.

You've been warned - choose ANY other company.

We had an extremely disappointing experience with this moving company. Despite clearly communicating our building’s move-in restrictions—including permitted days and times—from the outset and reiterating them multiple times throughout the process, the company failed to coordinate accordingly. As a result, the movers arrived on a Friday evening, even though our building only allows weekday moves during business hours. This lack of planning forced us to pay a significant additional fee for weekend storage—an entirely avoidable cost with proper scheduling on their part.

To make matters worse, several items from our shipment were missing, including patio chairs, a small ottoman, and a step ladder.

We also received multiple damaged items:

A mattress that was left completely uncovered, arrived filthy, and had clearly been dragged on the ground

A buffet (bottom piece) that was dropped and sustained visible damage

Side tables with broken or missing knobs and no screws provided

A floor lamp that was unprotected during transit and arrived scratched and dented

Additionally, many of the boxes were in rough condition, and since we have not fully unpacked yet, we expect to discover more damage in the coming weeks.

We’ve contacted the company with photos and a detailed account, but have yet to receive a meaningful response. Given the lack of professionalism, care, and accountability throughout this process, we cannot recommend this company.

Even if it is ten years from now, I will still hire out Loadrans LLC. I have no desire of engaging the services of any movers when it comes to relocation. So far, this company have proved to me that they are worth trusting. The last time they relocated me, one of their staff came across my safe which I had misplaced. He handed it over to their team leader who later gave it to me. Everything was intact when I opened it and that really inspired me. I just wish everyone was them.

Loadrans handled our office relocation with professionalism. They color-coded all the tech equipment, matching cables to their corresponding devices. The movers used anti-static wraps for all the computers and monitors. The team worked after hours to ensure our business operations were not interrupted. They set up each workstation in the new office according to the layout plans we provided, and they tested each computer and phone line before considering the job done.

Hands down, this was the best moving experience of my life—and trust me, I’ve moved a lot. Loadrans is on another level. The crew was professional, calm, and extremely solution-oriented. When my couch wouldn’t fit up the stairs (major panic moment), they didn’t skip a beat—within minutes, they called in backup, and with four guys total, they lifted it up through the balcony. I was honestly speechless. Who even does that? Incredible. I’ll be using them again without a doubt.
