US Van Lines

My children hired US Van Lines to move their apartment from St. Louis to Philadelphia. They signed a contract stating that the delivery would be made WITHIN 14 days. At the two-week mark, the kids called to get an estimated time frame and they were told "14 business days not 14 calendar days". That time frame has now passed so they called agin today. They were told that there is no truck available, they no longer have access to any trucks and the items are (reportedly) still in Missouri. The movers are unable to give any time frame... Weeks? months? years? After several hours on the phone, they have now recommended that they have the kids' lawyer contact them. I suppose they have said this as they have breeched the contract. This does not seem to be a reputable company if this is the only solution they are offering..And my kids are still sleeping on the air mattress !

Don't use US Van Lines in St. Louis office if you move long distance!  Scam of the moving dates and their insurance! Again, SCAM! Delayed 26 days from our preferred arrival date. Won't pay for the delay. The furniture packed and unpacked by them got damaged, did not get refund. We bought $20,000 coverage insurance through them! They politely and friendly got our business at first, smiled at us when packing and loading our belongs, after that, your move is doom! They don't have the arrival date! Although they said in contract to deliver within 14 business days from our preferred arrival date, NO! We received most of our belongs 5 weeks after the pickup date, 4 weeks after our preferred arrival date, 8 days after the latest contract date. With a 6 months old baby and 3 year old child, they did not care whatsoever, did not schedule a sooner delivery. We paid US Van Lines in St. Louis $6835.25 to move from St. Louis to Portland, OR. We did not have much furniture, the original quote (~$5700) was the medium price when we searched several companies. We chose them because they sounded polite and organized on the phone. Our furniture were picked up on July 27th, 2012. We have told US Van Lines that our preferred delivery date was Aug 5th. However, they never gave us an delivery date. I talked to them on Aug 5th and found out they did not have the truck! and they did not know when to have the truck!  They said they would call me when they had scheduled the delivery. We did not talk again until Aug 20th. US Van Line called me on Aug 20th and said the truck with our furniture had left St. Louis on Aug 19th. However, they knew it was going to delay but did not tell us. The latest delivery date as on contract was Aug 23rd, the 14th business day since Aug 5th. When I talked to the driver, he told me he had at least 6-7 other destinations to deliver before us, and would not arrive by Aug 23rd. They finally delivered on Aug 31st. We talked to the manager of US Van Lines in st. Louis office in Sept, 2012. The manager offered to send us a check of $300. The amount was sure not enough, but the check of $300 never arrives either.  In Oct 2012, after we sent the furniture lost and damage claim to their claim dept, we got an email saying they would pay only $126.80 for our over $1200 furniture damage and loss. But we need to pay $250 deductible. In April 2013, after we submit a complain to BBB, they responded and asked who said to refund you the $300? Basically, you will get nothing back. And, how could a few hundred $ can repay the moving delay?!

Thank you very much for such a smooth move. The quick and efficient manner in which both the pick up and delivery was handled eliminated unnecessary stress! Rodger, who worked both pick up and delivery, was friendly, professional and proficient! Sharon, who handled the logistics and paperwork, was patience, courtesy, and exceptional!
We would most certainly use Van Lines again and highly recommend their services to others.
Thank you for again for such remarkable service and your friendliness and professionalism!
Quick service, great customer service, and all our belongings in tack - 5 stars!

US Van Lines made my move to St. Louis as easy as I could hope for. The movers were professional and took great care not to damage any of my belongings. 10/10 times I would recommend working with US Van Lines. It was a wholly positive experience and should I decide to relocate again, they will be the first call I make. I've been tasked with moving across the country before and know how stressful the entire process can be. Even though this move was in state, U.S. Van Lines saw to it that this process was as painless as possible for me and my family.

Since receiving my initial quote from U.S. Van Lines and receiving my household from Missouri to Florida, I received outstanding customer service! The quote I was given was very accurate, and when the drivers arrived, they came prepared, was very experienced and knowledgeable. What I really liked the most was the expedient delivery. I was given a window of time for up to 14 days, and my delivery came so fast, it was beyond my expectation! I would definitely use this company in the future. There were no hidden fees, no hidden costs and everything went smooth. My furniture arrived in the same condition that I left it. I would definitely refer my friends to this company and will definitely use this company in the future for my moving needs! Thanks U.S. Van Lines!!

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. They are so unprofessional and rude. Our goods arrived late, were lost in transit and nobody knew where they were. When the partial shipment arrived, furniture was missing, goods were damaged, boxes were open and crushed, plastic boxes had footprints on them AND we even got somebody else's goods mixed in with ours. Who knows where our furniture is now. Claim took 2 months to process and we only got pennies in the process. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY.
