Chris and crew were able to pack and load all my household contents in one day when we had reserved two to do all that. However on the flip side, he couldn't find a crew to unload for five days after the arrival window closed. There was no notification of that until I had taken the day off from work, driven 35 miles to the storage facility from where I'm renting, and was waiting for them in the storage parking lot. Communication between him and the van lines would have been helpful, because they didn't know any more than I did.

The two brothers that handles our move were outstanding. They did a great job packing and unpacking our home items. They worked under intense weather issues and didnt complain. The trailer that they were provided was less than stellar. I was surprised that it made the trip across the country. This was a positive move for us and the crew involved made it less stressful. We will recommend National to others if asked.

I chose National Van Lines because I was moving a considerable distance across country from a home in Idaho I have lived in 29 years to Texas and I wanted a reputable firm. Joe Kim was my representative for the moving estimate and details leading up to the actual move. He was responsive to all my inquiries in a very timely manner. When moving day came, I was a little surprised at the size of the truck...I thought it would be bigger and was wondering how all my belongings would actually fit in. John, the mover/driver, assured me they would fit and they did. He kept in contact with me throughout the transport of my goods. He and the moving crew at the Richardson, TX destination made sure all items were placed where I wanted them. I am not finished unpacking, but I am happy to report that so far there are no damaged items! Though the weight of my move was over the estimate, National Van Lines honored their binding estimate. The only reason I am giving 4 stars instead of 5 is be cause of the size of the moving truck. I had understood it would be bigger and actually had the trees trimmed along my driveway to accommodate a bigger truck.

The movers in Auburn were efficient, kind, and professional. They wrapped my furniture, stickered my belongings and packed my artwork. The driver did not contact me until Feb 10th with an estimate arrival date of Tuesday 2/14. I went to my apartment to wait for his arrival. I finally called the company for an update. He wasn't coming until Wed. Due to inclement weather coming across the US he finally arrived on Thursday. He and his coworker unloaded as quickly as possible. I noticed my painting was not readily noticeable so I moved boxes after the driver left to find it. No luck. I filed a claim immediately hoping the oil painting would be at one of the other two homes packed on the truck. When the driver finished I tried to pay and he thought I had already paid. A2B Movers should have told someone that I was charging it. After some phone calls and assistance from National office I signed the papers and made my payment. Communication between A2B Movers, the driver, and me could have been better. Payment was not made clear to me. The driver could have contacted me with more accurate travel time. The National staff that helped me were informative, patient, and friendly. Pat took my claim even though I was not prepared with some information she needed. I spoke to a gentleman later about the progress of my claim. He was reassuring. I am missing a box so I will fill out the claim form and submit it. I'm confident at this point that National will do their best to search for my i tems.

They were prompt, & well prepared for moving all my goods including fine furniture, a heavy toolbox, & a large safe. The move of the entire house only resulted in damage to a chair & table. The trucks were loaded to accommodate the entire household goods & the heavy items went on a hydraulic tailgate vehicle which shows good planning.

Overall Jersey Shore Moving did an excellent job in moving our furniture and belongings from New Jersey to Florida. The drivers and moving personnel were all very professional and the loading and unloading process was very efficient My only reason for not giving five stars is one of the boxes containing a very expensive radio controlled model ship that took hundreds of hours to build sustained significant damage. This box was personally packed by the driver who picked up our load in New Jersey and was labelled "Top Load Only", "Fragile", "Do Not Stack". It was one of the first boxes delivered to our Florida location and arrived upside down and crushed inward. Moving personnel need to be more vigilant in looking for special instructions on boxes and not so quick just to move them in any manner they feel is appropriate. Our cane and rope couch also sustained minor damage to some of the cane on the rear side which can be repaired. Both pick up and delivery were handled as scheduled and the price quoted was very fair and accurate for the move involved.

Overall the move with National was smooth and as expected. The individual movers did a great Job for only two laborers worked hard and certainly performed as expected. So far only found a few items damaged but can probably be fixed. Would use this company again and recommend them. Some mix up at the start with times and appointment times resulting in one day delay. Overall satisfied

Our move process went very smoothly mostly. Dennis was great to work with. He worked on the price for us and we enjoyed doing business with him. Taylor moving on the Colorado end of the move was great as well. They were very helpful and all nice guys. LVV Services (I believe thats the name of the company that did the interstate leg) was great as well and the driver was very nice. I was not too happy however with the crew that did the unload on the Tennessee end - Sol crew, I believe. The guys we re polite enough, but I didnt love the way they handled our things. It seemed hasty and without the care that I would expect. On the property there is a detached garage where most of the boxes were going to go, while some of them, plus all of the furniture and bigger items would be going into the house. I told the crew that boxes were labeled storage or where they were going in the house. I said it several times, but I think when they heard they were moving things into a storage unit, they got e xcited for an easy move, and just started going without looking at labels on the boxes at all. For other items, even if they asked me or if I was directing them, things did not end up where they needed to. My wife and I spent a few days taking boxes and other larger items from storage to the house and vice-versa because they didnt check anything. It ended up being a ton of extra work for us! On top of that, they did not seem to be careful with any of the boxes. They just stacked whatever whereve r, and were running up and down the ramp, throwing boxes around to each other - I understand hustle, but there is a right and wrong way to do it, especially when a customer is watching. Many boxes ended up crushed on the bottom of stacks that shouldve been on the top, etc etc. Ive not been through every box to see the extent of any damage since many are in storage, but I will in coming weeks. There was a dust up between the crew leader and one of his guys that was very unprofessional. It seeme d like they hadnt worked together a ton, and the crew leader was very apologetic about it so I dont hold that too much against them, it just wasnt a great look. They seemed frustrated when I told them that they were supposed to set up the furniture in the home. Nothing was too much of an issue except our sons bunk bed. I understand some of these pieces can be complicated and they dont have instructions, but I basically had to go in after them, take the whole thing apart, and put it back togeth er correctly. It was entirely loose (no way I was going to let my kids sleep on it!), pieces were switched around - it was a mess. In one place where two pieces of wood butt up together, there are wooden pegs that go in between to hold the pieces together. I guess they couldnt find the small pegs that fit the piece (when I was watching here and there I saw them wrapped up on the ground). Instead that butt joint was very loose and not structurally secure at all. When I took it apart I found

Our move was an interstate, 1200 mile journey so we were concerned about the details. But Harry is a stickler for details and what he promised and quoted is what we paid. He supervised the packing of our five flat-screen TV's - a 78", a 65", a 54", 52" and a 42" - with his warehouse supervisor. Each was delivered in perfect condition. In addition, all of the furniture from our 3300 SF home was packed meticulously and cared for by the loading crew, which was run by Trey, a multi-decade semi d river. The delivery date promised by Harry was kept to the minute by Trey, a moving veteran professional from Texas. So far so good - 5 stars. Trey drove up to our new home at 8:00 AM, on time. But the unloading crew in Kansas was less than stellar, due to an issue with the labor company recommended to Trey by the moving industry, Trey had never offloaded in Wichita so this was a new crew for him to supervise. Starting a 9:00 with two men, it took four more hours to assemble a full cr ew of five so unloading was slow. Not Trey's fault since crews are reserved weeks in advance so he assembled what crews were available. That said, all of our furniture was unpacked and in perfect shape (loading crew) but the unloading crew did not assemble several furniture items and frankly I wanted them to leave as it was late in the day. To their credit, not one wall was damaged or scuffed, which was great since we JUST had the house painted two weeks earlier. Plus it is a two-story home making it tedious to unload everything quickly including several items of exercise equipment to the basement. The 4 star success was due to a veteran crew member who was NOT scheduled that day but showed up anyway (his WIFE has just passed away and yet, he STILL came - yeah he got the biggest tip). Again, not Trey's fault but, yet he still came through with a crew. All in all, we are highly pleased with National Van Lines and I would use them again. They were quick to respond, quick to pro vide a quote, Harry is highly educational, above reproach, ALWAYS available. Most important they are economical. Trey, the semi driver who has worked with National many times also made the move successful. They both get five stars, but the unloading crew gets three.

Our items were held in storage at Jersey Shore Movers in Jackson, NJ from 9-2021 through 4-2023. National driver was in communication with us and arrived at set time along with the two men he hired locally. Appreciated that. Guys were very careful with our things. Unfortunately, we are missing two boxes, one of which had several of my husbands good tools. Not sure where/when they went missing, but it certainly puts a black mark on both Jersey shore and National. In addition, the wrap around my couch had ripped and there were several dirt marks as well as a slight tear at seam. I filled out the claim and was issued a check, but I would have preferred someone to come out here and clean, and sew the seam. Now I either have to figure it out myself or look for someone to hire. Another hassle that I don't need when I'm trying to move in and get organized. Thank you Elaine Boaman

The movers could not negotiate our winding steep drive so they called a UHaul, downloaded from the street into a smaller truck and delivered with a positive attitude and a smile. We were more than happy with the whole moving process, start to finish. We would definitely recommend this company! Awesome service.

Jack Morgan was great and in constant communication. Frenchie, driver was great. Juan and moving out team in Simi Valley, CA were good and careful for the most part. Some members rushed through without checking about items. Team of movers in Bella Vista, AR were rough with items, packed boxes haphazardly in the storage units (home isnt built yet). Clearly, they didnt understand the concept of same sized boxes stacked on top of each other would protect each box better. That team seemed more inter ested in finishing quickly than being concerned with our property. Kept telling me how theyve been doing this a long time and know what they are doing. Total disregard for how I wanted our belongings being handled, especially a $6,000 dining table and chairs which is expensive and of value to us.

We were pleased with the bid process and the pricing for the move was very competitive. A high level of trust was established with the estimator which swung the deal to National. The driver was exceptional and worked very well with us. The workers that loaded the truck were not exceptional but got the job done. Unloading efforts were delayed a day as the truck sat in front of our house. Overall, we are very pleased as no damage was incurred and extra special care was provided our baby grand pian o. We definitely would recommend National Van Lines
