Long-distance move from Arlington, VA to Birmingham, AL

HORRIBLE

Two months ago, my boyfriend and I started planning our upcoming move to Birmingham Alabama from Arlington, Virginia. After a lot of price shopping, my boyfriend had a delightful conversation with a rep from Official van lines. He was quoted $1900 based on our inventory. After weighing our options, we booked the move with a man named Mike that worked out of the Jersey office. He said our belongings would be at home October 1 at the latest, that their drivers wouldn’t legally drive more than 400 miles in a day. We were delighted by the experience, gave our $500 deposit and started packing. The week before the move, I realized I had nothing from the moving company checking in or confirming an arrival time. I called the number we booked the move, no answer. I tried every phone number I could find associated with the company for four days. No answer, no email, nothing. I was terrified that we had no way to move our stuff at the end of our lease and no time to book a new moving company. After dozens of phone calls and emails, the evening before the move, a woman answered in the Florida office and confirmed they’d be at our house at some point the next day. Late that night we were given our expected window between 9-11 am. Moving day was smooth! Our 3 movers were great. When our belongings are packed, we signed a contract and were told we’d receive a copy and that someone would call us for the remaining payment after they left. October 1st came and went, no movers. We called the next day and after 8 rings with no response we were finally told delivery wouldn’t be permitted until we paid our balance. We had NEVER heard this before but immediately wired our balance. The next week began the most agonizing 6 WEEK LONG process of waiting for our belongings to be delivered. We had only packed for a max of 5 days, in case something went wrong. We called every day, they picked up the phone maybe once out of every 12 tries. The woman who answered the phone was named Stephany. She would yell at us, cut us off, hang up on us, lie repeatedly about the status of our move, tell us to call back later on in the week and then not answer the phone when we did so. She said they had 5-30 business days to move our belongings because we weren’t on their normal route because “Alabama is considered the midwest”. This was the FIRST TIME WE HAD ever been told about the window. They lied at every turn (If we were so lucky for them to answer the phone) Stephany was the single rudest person I’ve ever dealt with: In customer service, in any business transaction, in life honestly. A week ago I called (5 weeks after they took our belongings) And they said “Our stuff was getting on the truck.” I called every single day since then to get an estimated day of arrival and they never answered the phone. They called Saturday to give us a delivery window and said we had to have $1,000 cash ready for them to get our belongings off the truck. So we had to acquire a load of cash at night on a Saturday with no warning. Of course they arrived far outside of the delivery window. We were then hit with another $300 stair fee that we were not warned about in any way. 41 days later, we have our belongings. We are missing an expensive bookcase. My large antique dresser is mangled and broken. Our belongings are squashed and misshapen. WE HAVE STILL NOT RECEIVED ANY CONTRACT, PAPERWORK OR DOCUMENTATION. And the job cost more than TWICE the amount we were originally quoted. We had no choice to pay at every turn or they wouldn’t give our stuff back. This has been my worst interaction with any business or company in my entire life. I would not recommend Official van lines to my worst enemy. They are con artists. They are negligent liars. They are criminals. They should be put out of business. They have cost us so much time, money, property, and panicked nights. Dealing with this company has been one of the worst experiences of my life. I Have never dealt with a more loathsome operation in my life and I pray to God no one else falls victim to their criminal business. RUN. RUN. RUN.

Long-distance move from Hopkins, MN to Orlando, FL

Well Done

They showed up early and finished packing things up in a timely matter. Their employees were very careful when moving things and nothing was cracked or broken. They were very polite, professional, and packed everything up quickly. The price was very affordable and reasonable for the extent of services I needed. I could not recommend them more. If you're looking for movers, who care check these guys out!

Long-distance move from Egg Harbor Township, NJ to Boca Raton, FL

Watch your estimate It G R O W S.

A $4000 estimate turned into $6500.

Beware the promises made by your salesman. It’s a scam. They tell you everything they will do for you until the truck arrives. Then the real salesman starts. And you have to sign the contract before your stuff is loaded. No time to say get lost. Then they lost the same carton twice. Now I have to deal with an insurance company. 60 cents a pound for expensive garage tools. I can’t wait to see how this turns out. STAY AWAY NOTHING GOOD WILL COME FROM OFFICIAL

Long-distance move from Lisbon Falls, ME to Saint Louis, MO

Highly Prefer!

The packing service was so helpful, which relieved some of the stresses of moving. I will be recommending Allen and Official Van Lines to those looking to make their move a much easier process! The movers were very friendly, respectful, and had excellent time management, also very important to me, as my due date is not too far away.

I suppose we won't know the final moving score until we unpack the storage unit they loaded us into up here in Washington until early 2015, but from what I saw of their skills, I can say you're in good hands. Go with Clark and his crew—nice guys, quick, and careful.

Good Movers.

Mark was the group leader and he made sure everything was running smoothly. They were prompt, amazing efficient and conscientious in a building that is incredibly strict with HOA requirements. The most important thing is that they charged me the lowest rate compared to other companies. So I definitely recommend them highly.

Excellent

Craig and his colleague arrived 15 mins earlier than expected, were professional and just the best ever. They made the move so easy and not stressful whatsoever. Nothing broke, nothing scratched...that's how good they are. Based on the price and how quickly they moved us once they got there, I would likely use again.

Keep FAR, FAR, FAR away from this company!!!

Zero stars! Do NOT use this company! They are scammers!

Before I continue, ask yourself this, "Why are soooo many people across the country reporting the SAME horrible things about this place?"

Because it's true! I tried to be optimistic (and save money) but that was a mistake. Allow me to explain...

In the beginning, they treat you great, answer your calls and provide phenomenal customer service, HOWEVER, once the move begins, ALL that great service goes out of the window.

The representative (Art Booker, New Jersey, 908/952/0066} we've been working with - the same one who hounded us with calls initially - has failed to return an email or phone call. When we call, we're sent to voice mail or told he's on a call or out to lunch. Despite our inventory list being exactly what we discussed on the phone, the movers arrived (NONE of which were wearing masks during a Covid-19 pandemic) and raised the price by SEVERAL hundred dollars. As for Art, he is NOWHERE in sight and not bothering to offer the great customer service he promised.

Another thing - and they do not tell you this in advance - their moving insurance is horrible. They pay. 06 a pound for broken items. That said, if your $450.00 TV weighs 10 pounds and is broken, they're only going to pay you $.60 - sixty cents! That's crazy! (Thank God we have renters insurance! If you don't, again, do NOT use this company!!!)

I do not recommend this company. Stay far, far away. They do NOT care about you or your belongings, ONLY THE MONEY.

And to any employee who might dare comment on my post, you should be ashamed! I have been phoning and emailing for DAYS and have been cast aside and ignored. If you can't speak with me now, do not bother to reply to this comment with a fake apology or rebuttal to make yourselves look good. I have proof of EVERYTHING I'm writing here and will be glad to share all of it with other members of the community.

Now that my patience has worn thin and they've made it clear I'm not a priority, this will be the first of many comments and photos I plan to post online, as well as calls the appropriate government agencies to address their non-compliance with state orders (masks) as well as bad business practices. This "company" should be out of business. Together, with our lawyers and the testimonies of other customers who were scammed, we can make this happen.

Shame on these thieves! The world is hurting financially due to a pandemic - people are losing their jobs left and right - and Official Van Lines only cares about themselves.

Do NOT use them. Pay a little more upfront and find a reputable company like Mayflower. Trying to save money will only hurt you in the long run.

Shame on you all, including you Art Booker. You're all thieves and cowards, and karma will catch up with you all professionally and personally., and I will do all I can to ensure she knows the way.
