Northern Elite Van Lines

Extremely supportive movers. Simple to book and timetable, they had a basic expense structure that hurried up to set up the move. I very much wanted having a basic level rate to a mind boggling statement coordinate - there's sufficient to do with essentially pressing I maintained that my booking should be straight forward. Northern Elite Van Lines was extremely obliging towards demands like changing the day of my booking and mentioning a plastic cover for my bedding. Upon the arrival of the move I got a call around 20 minutes before my booked time letting me know they were coming. The movers were all cordial and supportive and got everything moved quickly. I would recommend Northern Elite Van Lines movers to anybody.

This a horrible company to use. The salesman Chris is a smooth talker and tries to persuade you his company is good by referring you to the DOT website and the amount of miles his company trucks have logged. This is just a ploy as they use subcontractors to move your belongings.

Chris also told me that my household belongings would be picked up in a company truck with their name on it. He never mentioned that Northern elite vans was doing business as Wrap and Tag who to my understanding subcontract out all of their shipping of individual’s household belongings. He also lied about the amount of time his company would store my belongings. This lead to a dispute at the pickup location after the truck was loaded. The driver provided me with a predetermined cost for the storage before the truck was even loaded based on the 1300 ft.³. How would they have known the amount of belongings until after the truck was loaded.

The company was to give me a couple days notice as to when they were going to arrive to pick up my belongings. Instead the owner called me at the last minute around 3:30 PM and ask if their driver could come by if they were there in an hour and pick up my belongings. I greed but it was a mistake. They arrived around 7:30 pm that same evening and was there for several hours.

The truck was partially for when they arrived. When they loaded the truck they stack it in a manner where they started out low and raised the load so when they got to the end of the trailer the trailer looked like it was packed fullI. They stretch out the load to fill the remainder of the truck and claimed that my belongings they picked up was equaled to 1300 ft.³ of household belongings. NOT TRUE.

I had them delivered to an extra storage space in Florida which was a 10 x 15 x 8‘ tall storage bin which is equivalent to 1200 ft.³ The storage bin was barely half full which means that there was only approximately 600 to 700 ft.³ of household goods that they shipped. NOT 1300 ft.³ as they claimed at the pick up point.

When I tried to contact the shipping company once my belongings were unloaded they refused to take my call until I persuaded the truck driver (a subcontractor) to contacted the shipping company. This was very difficult to do as he didn’t want to get involved since he was a middleman. I was overcharged by $2800. It took 2 hours of augmenting with the moving company once the driver got the moving company on the phone to get back $1000. This was still short of the $2,800 I was overcharged. This was after the driver measured the space and sent pictures of how empty the storage bin/space was. I’m working on disputing the funds I have on my credit card in hopes to recouping my deposit monies to help offset the amount I was over charged. I’ll still be overcharged by $680 if I get back my deposit monies.

The moving company (Northern Elite Van) uses subcontractors to pick up and deliver my household belongings.This leaves the customers in a bad situation as they are dealing with a subcontractor not the actual shipper. This shipper will do there very best to avoid you once you have paid the final payment.

NorthernElite Van has in their contract that you must pay cash or money order prior to being able to have your household belongings unloaded.

They do this because they are stealing from you and you have no recourse once you hand the cash to the driver unless you do as I did and get the driver to get involved in resolve the problem. I suggest even though they charge you an additional 5% that you should pay as much on your credit card as possible which will allow you some leeway to disputing any claims you have of being overcharged. The only way to verify the amount of household belongings being shipped is to put in in a confined space so it can be measured. I also suggest that you stack your belongings in the space to get an accurate understanding of the amount of belongings shipped.

Please let all of your friends and neighbors know about this company through social media and any other method you can to avoid this company Northern elite vans DBA as (Wrap and Tag) from taking advantage of any more people who need to move.

MOVING IS VERY STRESSFUL AND NORTHERN ELITE VAN IS AWARE OF THIS AND TAKE FULL ADVANTAGE OF THE CUSTOMER.

Otherwise you will mostly likely be taken advantage of and overcharged as they did to me.

They damaged some of my belongings and I am going to have to dispute this with them on top of the $2800 that they have overcharged me.

I hope this message reaches as many people as possible so that this company is forced to change their means methods of operation or are ran out of business as they are nothing but crooks based on my experience and l’m going to say they more than likely take a vantage of every individual who’s household belongings they move.

Please get the word out 08-21-2021.

I had a great experience with Northern Elite Van Lines. They were the quickest to respond & the most reasonably priced out of all my quotes. I was a little worried about an hourly price, but this team were SO QUICK and EFFICIENT. Definitely a better deal for me than a flat fee would have been. I don't know how they were able to carry 3 of my bins at a time up and down 2 flights of stairs, but they did!! Everything was carefully wrapped and every charge explained. Ended up being exactly what was quoted from the start, and all my things arrived safely. Would absolutely use them again!

Best relocation experience from NJ to NYC I have ever had! Worth every penny! This team were total professionals movers. They arrived on time, worked quickly, and communicated with me every step of the way. I had a lot of boxes and some big pieces of furniture, but they managed to get everything down 3 flights of stairs and up 6 more flights. I was very impressed! I highly recommend Northern Elite Van Lines for all of your moving needs, and know that you're in good hands.

We moved with Northern Elite Van Lines from a ground floor apartment to a 6th floor elevator building and we had the best experience. The guys were on time, professional and worked efficiently. They took great care to pack our belongings in the moving truck and make sure that everything was properly strapped and secured in the truck for the hour drive on the expressway. Not one item was scratched or broken. When we move again we will absolutely use Northern Elite Van Lines again.

I have used Northern World class Van Lines two times presently, most as of late last end of the week to move from NJ to New York City. They were sensational the twice. I can't suggest them more. They stacked up my whole room - what might be compared to a studio apartment - in one hour and unloaded it in a similar measure of time. Everything is exceptionally straight forward and simple with them - there were no secret charges. They showed up quickly at 9am straightaway to begin the move. Each of the three of the movers were extremely kind and conscious.

I have used Northern Elite Van Lines twice now, most recently last weekend to move from FL to NY. They were phenomenal both times. I can't recommend them more. They loaded up my entire room - the equivalent of a studio apartment - in one hour and unloaded it in the same amount of time. Everything is very straight forward and easy with them - there were no hidden charges. They arrived promptly at 9am on the dot to start the move. All three of the movers were very kind and respectful.

Great movers and very impressive customers service. They were awake and packed my items with care. We've moved a lot in the last 5 years but we had terrible experiences with movers, so we were very worried but this company was really ensured that everything went smoothly. On the moving day. They worked so hard to wrap and unwrap everything carefully, we didn't have a single thing. They were able to move our big and heavy things out through the balcony, without any scratches.

I recently used Northern Elite Van Lines for my long-distance move from a 5-bedroom home, and I cannot say enough good things about the experience! From start to finish, everything was handled with professionalism, honesty, and care.

My sales rep Clark was incredible—he took the time to explain every detail of the process, answered all my questions patiently, and made me feel completely at ease. He was transparent about pricing, timelines, and what to expect, and everything went exactly as planned.

The movers were punctual, careful with our furniture and boxes, and extremely efficient. They wrapped and protected everything with care, especially the fragile and oversized items. The delivery was right on time, and not a single item was damaged.

Moving a 5-bedroom home is no small task, but Northern Elite Van Lines made it feel easy and stress-free. I would absolutely use them again and recommend Clark to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy moving company.

Thank you again for an amazing job!

I don’t normally write reviews, but after the incredible experience I had with Northern Elite Van Lines, and especially with my sales rep Sam, I felt compelled to share. Moving a 5-bedroom home across state lines is no small job, and like most people, I was stressed out, overwhelmed, and honestly didn’t know where to start. That all changed the minute I spoke with Sam.

From our very first conversation, Sam was honest, knowledgeable, and extremely patient. He didn’t rush me, didn’t give me a hard sales pitch instead, he took the time to actually listen to what I needed, explain the process clearly, and walk me through every single detail. He gave me a realistic timeline, broke down all the costs with complete transparency, and even shared tips on how to prep my home efficiently before moving day. I’ve dealt with other companies before that made empty promises or hit me with surprise charges — this was nothing like that.

Sam kept in touch the entire time from booking, to pick-up, to delivery and was available whenever I had questions (even after hours). I never once felt like I was just another “job” to him. He truly cared about making sure my move went smoothly, and that level of customer service is rare these days.

When moving day came, the crew arrived on time and ready to work. They were professional, respectful, and handled everything like pros. They carefully wrapped and packed each piece of furniture, including my antiques, large sectional, and expensive gym equipment. Not one item was scratched or broken. They worked tirelessly and even asked me multiple times if there was anything else they could help with before leaving.

Delivery was just as seamless. They communicated ahead of time, showed up when they said they would, and unloaded everything with the same care and attention. I honestly couldn’t believe how easy they made the entire process feel. With five bedrooms full of furniture and years’ worth of stuff, I was expecting chaos, but what I got was peace of mind.

If you’re looking for a company that actually delivers on its promises, with people who treat you like family and not a number, go with Northern Elite Van Lines and ask for Sam. I’ve already recommended them to two friends and will continue to do so. Thank you, Sam, for taking the stress out of such a massive move. You’re a rockstar!

We have moved many times in the last three years. They has delivered by far the great service I've ever seen. They worked so fast and they were all so nice. Everything was perfect where I needed it. They even moved stuff around when I changed our mind about how I wanted it set up. Throughout the whole was great. They handled our furniture and belongings with the extreme care and attention to detail. Their method of protecting our items was truly impressive. Highly recommended.

The team reached on time and carried it getting everything arranged. They wrapped objects, took extra care with delicate pieces, and made sure to ask us query as they loaded whenever they needed to. They were crucial, forward-thinking, and expert in their planning of space. The team was prompt, never stopped, and lifted furniture that would have taken a small uplift. They were careful coming in and out of rooms and I didn't see any scrapes when we did a walk through. Very professional team.
