Never contract this company for your move. They are very unprofessional people with any tools to move your stuff. Also, charge more money and contract other companies to do the work without your authorization.. The other company they contracted Eazy1 moving, was worse than them. Please never trust this company. It is a zero-star. My experience was horrible, stressful and unfair. It is a waste of your money .

STEER FAR AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY! Charter Van Lines is a broker not movers….your move is sourced out to a third party. Once they get your business their customer service connections come to a screeching halt. Customer service is as sweet as can be but don’t be fooled. The company that actually moved my stuff was Cobra Van lines out of New Jersey. First, I never received a call on pick up date. I had to call them a few times. The movers called the day before my two day window and estimated that they would arrive on the 2nd day around 2 pm, they called again at 4 pm to say they were stuck in traffic and were 3 hours away and would not arrive till 7:30 pm, they called again to say they would not arrive till around 9:30 pm. Once they assessed my items being moved they informed me that I had more cubic feet than Charter estimated. In order for them to load my stuff I had to agree and sign to the new terms costing me an additional $400+. Since it was so late my hands were tied and I had no other alternative. Had I refused they would not load my furnishings. In the grand scheme I was a small move out of state, they finished loading they left at 1:00 am. My furnishing were transported to a warehouse where they sat for three weeks. I never heard from a soul and my attempts to get updates were futile. I finally received my furnishings 24 days from pick up date. Movers were pleasant but I was a bit taken back when one of the movers hinted about tipping and who should receive it excluding the truck driver. I am glad to receive my stuff albeit in rough condition. There are a lot of document in fine print that is not fully disclosed at time of reservation so BEWARE‼️

Do not use these crooks. They give estimates, then when the moving company shows up, they charge you WAY MORE. If you call to complain, they won't take your phone call and ignore you.

I was given an arrival window of 2-5 PM for my move and they didn't show up at all. No phone calls or any communication. I tried to reach out to them but there's no one in office on Sunday. My flight is tomorrow morning and I had to hire another company to perform the service.

They do not deserve any stars. They contacted me after I submitted an online quote for a long-distance move. The rep that contacted me was very rude, very forceful, very unprofessional, became angry and hung up on me, simply for asking can I compare prices first. I asked repeatedly if I could get off the phone to compare prices because I didn't want to be rude and just hang up on him. He became upset because I denied information about other companies, what cubic footage they were offering and said, "I don't know why you're on the phone with a moving company anyway" and then hung up. I called back to report him to customer relations and get the name of the rep... Michael, who introduced himself as the manager said I spoke to Robert and Shawn (when in all reality, I only spoke with one person). Michael was even more rude as he minimized the behaviors displayed, stating, "You know what it is Miss Jones, we found you a direct route and you refused it" as if he was making excuses and empathizing for his rep's rudeness. Michael then said, "Please don't call back!"...Did you'll forget that your company called me? ****Unprofessional Company**********

a Sunday with minimal payment options for my household items. Thankfully, the driver accepted a Walmart money order, but this was the only smooth part. I had already paid $200 upfront but still needed to receive communication regarding my vehicle. After learning their truck had broken down, I had to scramble to book another company. Only after I secured a new service did a different driver show up unannounced, forcing me to cancel the backup plan. Despite clearly stating I would not be available after August 20th, Charter Van Lines ignored this crucial information and even accused me of lying. Because of their incompetence, I had to rely on friends to receive my car. On top of that, my household goods were delayed, and Charter Van Lines tried to justify it with their 10-day delivery window. However, the company handling the actual move, StreamLine, was professional and helpful, unlike the unprofessional behavior of Charter Van Lines. Charter Van Lines is unreliable, deceptive, and fails miserably at communication. They pass work to third-party companies without informing customers and then try to cover it up. Their reviews appear suspiciously polarized, with primarily 5-star and 1-star ratings, raising questions about their authenticity. If you're looking for a reliable moving service, avoid Charter Van Lines at all costs.

Do not use Charter Vanlines!Horrible experience.They sell you on quality service and a reasonable price which changes once you sign the contract and pay a deposit.We had over a $1000 upcharge for packing which should have been covered but wasn’t accurately presented.The packers took the entire day and didn’t protect some items which were damaged.Bottom line is this is a broker who subs out to a contractor based on price not quality.Our belongings were never delivered to the intended final destination as the movers played so many games not being transparent about their timing and willingness to deliver in Boston.Ultimately we had to hire another smaller moving company to get our delivery accomplished.

DO NOT USE THIS MOVING COMPANY. Took 37 days to get my move! Called them multiple times and all I got was "move is delayed". No explanation, no delivery date, no common courtesy, nothing. This company in unprofessional in every aspect. They are unethical, untrustworthy and the worst company I have ever dealt with. If I could give negative stars I would. Total nightmare.
