Customer Highlights

Jul 07, 2025

Exceptional service

The movers I hired from this company came through for me when I injured my ankle the week before my move. They ensured I had easy access to necessities at my new home, packed everything for me, and checked on me before I left to see if I was okay. Their kindness was greatly appreciated!

I hope improvements are made in the future.

The overall experience was disappointing. Customer service was not as responsive as expected, and several issues remained unresolved. I hope improvements are made in the future.

10/10 would use again.

10/10 would use again. We were moving my daughter into a 3rd-floor apartment with no elevator. The guys from M Company carried every box and piece of furniture up all those stairs. They never slowed down or complained. They even helped her unpack the heaviest boxes. The whole job took about 5 hours, which was less than they quoted.

No complaints at all.

I highly recommend asking for Zachary if you book here. We had a tricky move with a narrow basement staircase. He measured everything first and had a plan. He guided his team perfectly, getting our freezer and washing machine up without a hitch. They were done in under 4 hours.

I was impressed by how smoothly everything.

I was impressed by how smoothly everything went during my move. The crew arrived right on time and knew exactly what to do from the start. They handled parking, paperwork, and unloading without needing any help from me. Everything was done quietly and efficiently. It’s rare to see that kind of preparation and teamwork these days.

Highly recommend this moving crew.

Highly recommend this moving crew. I had a bunch of musical instruments, including a keyboard and speakers. They wrapped everything tightly and secured it in the truck. No bumps or marks when it arrived. You can tell they know what they're doing.

Terrible Service.

The move took much longer than promised, which caused unnecessary stress. I had difficulty getting updates, and the overall coordination could have been much better.

extremely helpful and pleasant

Our family move included a lot of books, fragile toys, and oddly shaped décor. We hired movers from here on a neighbor’s recommendation and they surpassed our expectations. They grouped everything by room and even helped label the boxes in a way my kids could understand. It made unpacking feel like a breeze!

I would not use this service again.

The process felt unorganized and lacked proper coordination. Customer support was slow to respond, and the delays created unnecessary stress. I would not use this service again.

Arrived on time with great attitudes.

We were at our wits' end after our first cross-country relocation. Fortunately, Howards Van Line professionals were understanding, provided us with updates along the process, and completed everything on schedule. Bravo to them!
