      Traditional express van line.

      Dear All,

      Trust me , total frustrating experience with these guys. They picked my household items on 27th June 2016 from Boston and till today 16th July, there could not deliver items to Irving, Texas. As per their comittment, I supposed to get my shipment on 5th July 2016. Due to delay I had to suffer with my family lot for more than 10 days and had to invest 1200-1400USD to live my life at Irving, Tx.

      No one responds and owns responsibility for this delay.

      In addition to that, there are lot of hidden costs. These stupid company is totally untrustworthy company. I NEVER EVER RECOMMEND THESE GUYS FOR MOVING.

      Horrible experience and I asked them to provide company founder name. No one provided me till today. Everyone afraids, they did so many mistakes and tells every LIE to get the customer.

      Please be aware of this guys. THEY ARE NOT ELIGIBLE EVEN TO GIVE SINGLE STAR.

    • They were three weeks late on dates they committed to verbally and then even with that were over a week late even by contracted date.

      Run away as Fast as You Can -These people are dishonest scammers and use the contract to extort money from you both after loading your goods and then again immediately before delivery. I felt like I was dealing with the Russian Mafia.

      They tell you anything you want to hear verbally and then rely on contract to take your money. They low ball the bid and once loaded demand 30% increase once they have your stuff.

      They were three weeks late on dates they committed to verbally and then even with that were over a week late even by contracted date.

      They are too small a company to adequately handle cross country moves with limited resources.

      Note all the reviews - only 1 stars and 5 stars. The 1 stars are real.

      Wonderful Movers.

      Working with Traditional Express Van Lines has been a wonderful experience. And in the moving industry, consider this a glowing compliment. The movers were on the same wavelength, communicated proficiently, and coordinated my belongings from Point A to B without any issues. I’m very impressed and satisfied with their level of professionalism throughout this move. My belongings safely made it inside my new California Home. I would recommend Traditional Express Van Lines for being transparent and well coordinated. Thank you kindly!

      Thankful.

      Initially I had went to moving.com, to get some quotes for my move. The response was absolutely overwhelming. Once I had a free moment, I called Traditional & got in touch with Richard Russo. He seemed knowledgeable & was very helpful throughout the process. After doing a visual estimate, we had agreed on a price and on move day there were 4 gentlemen from the company who worked tirelessly throughout a cold day. The crew did a great job, which was a big relief - being able to see how carefully the gentlemen packed everything, made the process a lot lighter. Delivery came within a week, which was 2 days earlier than expected. (I'm not complaining) All in all, they honored their price & only 1 item was damaged in transit, which we are going through the claims department currently, to get reimbursed for. Will definitely recommend them.

    • without my knowledge, Colonial subbed the job out to Traditional Van Lines based out of NJ.

      Biggest Mistake of my Life!!

      I originally hired Colonial Van Lines to move us from Massachusetts to Florida, however, without my knowledge, Colonial subbed the job out to Traditional Van Lines based out of NJ. We were told our furniture was going to be sent to a warehouse in Tampa and we were to call two days prior to when we wanted our home goods delivered to our new home. We called them on February 12th to inform them that we will be moving in on the 14th. When the furniture didn’t come, we resorted to using air mattresses. On the first night, my wife fell off the air mattress and broke her shoulder. I called Colonial to ask about my furniture and I told them of the accident with my wife, I didn’t receive any apologies, they seemed like they didn’t even care, and that I needed to call them back in 2 days and they would update me about the status of my furniture. At one point, they told me it was in Jacksonville in a warehouse and that they would get back to me. The next time I called, they told me it was still in NJ. My furniture finally arrived Feb 25th with $1200 damage to by Harley Davidson Motorcycle, and many items were broken, including some antiques I bought while I was in the UK. Also, many of my…

    • no one in this company responded to my email, phone calls, and complaint letter

      Unprofessional service, hidden charges, 2 weeks delay and theft.

      DO NOT GO WITH THIS COMPANY! It was a terrible, frustrating experience. I just filed official complaint forms to Department of Transportation, the Better Business Bureau, FMCSA as no one in this company responded to my email, phone calls, and complaint letter for the delay, damage, and poor customer service. I also had to call the POLICE as the movers ran off with my property when I refused to pay hidden extra charge in cash at the delivery location when they were already delayed for 2 weeks. The tricky part was that they made me sign some dubious company-specific paper after they loaded my stuff, which caused a lot of problems in the end. Basically, it indicated that there might be additional charges and the delivery date would not be approximate. As I already signed Bill of Lading, which is more the official form that every registered moving company uses with exact costs, and delivery date, I did not pay too much attention to this form. Also, as they brought up this paper after they loaded my stuff at the truck, I could not back out at that point but just sign. I asked the copy of this dubious form but they refused to give it to me and this form basically caused a lot of…

    • On pick-up day, they tried to up-charge me for packing services, after the rate had already been agreed with the Broker.

      Beware this Moving Company.

      Made the mistake of contracting with a Broker, who in turn sub-contracted our move to Traditional. This was an out-of-state move, including approx. 6-8 months of storage between pick-up and delivery. Long-story short..Traditional is one of the most inept and unscrupulous companies I've ever worked with. On pick-up day, they tried to up-charge me for packing services, after the rate had already been agreed with the Broker. Once we resolved that issue (somewhat), the company commenced with the load, which resulted in any number of crushed boxes, and damaged goods. It took over two months to determine where our goods were stored, and when we were finally granted access to that facility, we discovered that all our possessions had been "crammed" in to two storage bins, when three would have been more appropriate, given the number of items. Suffice to say, many of our boxes were crushed, and other items damaged during this time. Upon delivery to our new residence, the company hired local "contractors" to unload, and many additional boxes and items were further damaged (including glass and dishware, as well as a very expensive fireplace with insert (this piece was virtually destroyed).…

      Moving.

      I was moving from Connecticut to Brooklyn with this company. The driver Chris was very patient and careful. All home appliances were safe, not even a scratch, everything was covered under the mates to protect the wooden furniture from rain (the weather was really awful). It cost me $850 overall to move. but I do not regret it - the service was excellent, I didn't need to worry about my stuff and everything was there in time. Perfect experience! Will definitely recommend this company for all who don't want to stress out while moving :).

    • Anything I emphasized protection on was properly secured with plastic wrap, cardboard, blankets, etc.

      Phenomenal Moving Experience.

      Ok, so going into this I had very low expectations, since I know how poorly moves can turn out. But, I was pleasantly surprised. This is one of those situations where I’m more than happy to be wrong. Traditional Express Van Lines was very effective during our move. Professional and straightforward through the pick up and drop off process. Anything I emphasized protection on was properly secured with plastic wrap, cardboard, blankets, etc. Everything made it to my new home in LA just fine. I would hire them again if the need arises.

    • 4 drayage boxes had to be sent to California and those arrived perfectly about a week later.

This company was awful. I've been military all my adult life (30+ years) and have moved numerous times, and I have NEVER experienced this level of incompetence.

Thank you guys for a great service.

We just moved a couple of days ago and received all our goods in excellent condition. Movers came on time and put back together all furniture. Must tell you that it was our best long distance move. Thank you guys for a great service.

Long-distance move from Corona, CA to Dallas, TX

Horrible service.

My family and I are still waiting for our items to be delivered. They were horrible in their timing estimate and were off by an entire week. They did not communicate what the schedule was, and made us call back dozens of times through the day to get an apology. I will NEVER use them again.
