Do Not Use AMERICAN Van Lines!
We hired American Van Lines (AVL) to handle our household move from Gilbert, AZ to Fogelsville, PA, paying over $12,000 including
insurance. Despite written confirmations, AVL failed to
meet agreed pickup and delivery timeframes, arriving late,
unprepared, and with insufficient equipment and personnel. The initial truck was too small to accommodate
our 4,200 sq. ft. home, resulting in property being left behind, some of which was damaged or later went
missing. The decided to deliver the furniture weeks later, and left stuff in Arizona. Did not wrap things properly. Looks like stuff wants dragged. No inventory was provided prior to loading, and no Bill of Lading was issued upon delivery.
We paid for additional insurance coverage and filed a formal damage
claim. We received a call indicating that an adjuster would be assigned, but more than 30 days have passed with no follow-up, no resolution, and no contact. Multiple additional pickups and deliveries were required, each marked by further delays, miscommunication, unprofessional behavior, and inadequate staffing.
Ultimately, our property sustained over $16,000 in damages and loss, we forfeited a $1,000 deposit on our
home, and incurred $5,000 in legal fees. American Van Lines has breached their contractual obligations, failed to meet industry standards, and violated two federal laws, four state laws, and the Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Act. Despite attempts to resolve the matter, we have not received a satisfactory response or
compensation. Avoid this company at all costs!!!
Our stuff was left in our neighbors yard because they brought Penske box truck to pack our 4,200 sg ft home. Our dining room was left outside in a courtyard for weeks. The customer service is horrible, the driver would hang up on your constantly. Never ever use this company if you care about your belongings!!!
