Horrific company. They are a broker and as soon as I signed the contract, stop returning calls or emails. Five days before the move, National Van Lines charged an additional $4,000 for the move. I sent pictures with dimensions of every piece of furniture that was being moved. Two days before the move, I get a call from a different company (Jackson Movers) saying they will be conducting the move. Jackson Movers then charged an additional $3,000 the day they arrived for bogus charges and work they didn't even do. I can't express how horrific National Van Lines is. They should have begun by disclosing that they sold the account and they are just brokers who can care less about their or their contractor's service once you sign on the dotted line.

The worst moving experience I have ever had. So many furniture pieces damaged. They could care less about your about your belongings. Blaming others for the damages. Owner and management unethical! Do not hire this company!!

Recently used National Van Lines for a large Chicago to NJ move and have only positive things to say. They were the first to respond to my online inquiries and were extremely fair priced. Sam Meredith at the Chicago office guided me through the entire process and was very responsive to my (many) questions along the way. Driver Jamie Burns and his crew showed up on time and did a great careful job with the packing, loading and unloading. Highly recommended!

I do not recommend. We had a terrible experience with this mover. They contract their labor. Packers and movers caused quite a bit of damage. We had the highest levels of carrier liability with $0 deductible and $125,000 maximum level of protection. That's full replacement value protection and the most comprehensive plan available. They were obligated to compensate to repair or restore, but that didn't happen. We also purchased the full service VIP option that included full packing, crating and uncrating, and a $50,000 damage protection policy. All apparently worthless. Premier Van and Storage was the agent for National Van Lines. National reimbursed us for only 16% of the amount of our claim. And they declined to reply to any of my notes to them. Careless damages, lack of compensation, and lack of communication. I would keep looking if you're searching for a quality mover.

We were told conflicting information about when Packers and loaders were coming. Were told would pack one day and load the next. Happened all in one day. Were told there would be 3 packets. 3 people showed up but one walked around the house and quit. I do feel bad for the other 4 people who worked very hard and efficiently. I have no problem with them. But the communication and information from National was very poor and disappointing.

Driver was late and didn't know what he was doing. Movers damaged many pieces of furniture and every single one of our boxes had some kind of damage. 75 inch TV was damaged by the movers. Don't use.

Moved from Florida to Utah. Company said it would be in transit for about 7-10 days and ended up taking 31. When our stuff finally arrived it was delivered by a completely different company than who had picked it up. At least 90 percent of our items were damaged, completely broken, or taken apart with no one able to re assemble them. Our mattress had been drug through the dirt and mulch and other furniture had black stains on it. There was absolutely no regard for our items and the company, even though we filled out the paperwork has yet to be in contact to rectify this issue...whatever you do, do not use this company no matter what. They will destroy everything you own, lie to you, and take zero accountability for everything they do.

I received a call the day before our cross country move date to try to get me to reschedule which at that time I made them aware that I could not. CS stated that no one accepted this load until the night before. The crew showed with no packing materials. A moving company with nothing to pack the kitchen, and artwork even after I did a video call inventorying kitchen and paintings. Cesar the leader who arrived first at 7:50am, quit and drove off at 9am and never came back. After several calls to Tiffany in CS I came up with idea myself that the two workers who were left go to Home Depot and buy materials. There was no mattress bags/covers even after I did a video call inventorying bedrooms. Other furniture was placed on the truck unprotected which I made them pull it back off, and repack After 8 phone calls with Tiffany in CS, Lori (her supervisor) made me aware that this case had not been escalated. Even after the leader walked off the job, and with a crew too small to do the job, and no packing materials. So all the phone calls to Tiffany saying they were escalating to Operations was not true. Several items were loaded with insufficient protection. Shrink wrapping alone does not protect furniture from a long distance move. When workers shrink wrap their hands go right through when they carry the items leaving them open to dirt and insects etc... (I have pictures that were taken inside the truck to verify) Lori, (CS supv) said that they would take the truck to their Broadview office to "re-pack" properly things that had been improperly pack. Several items were left behind because there was insufficient packing materials and boxes. Coffee maker, knife set, tea pot, cookware etc... Paintings were put between mattresses instead of being boxed and protected. It took a 2 person crew 13hrs which put us a day behind on our relocation plans. I wanted to deal with National Van Lines exclusively. When 3rd or 4th parties are brought in this is what happens.
