Customer Highlights

Jun 08, 2026

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.

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.

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.

That’s going above and beyond! My crew stayed after closing to confirm everything was placed correctly and even took away the empty boxes I wasn’t sure what to do with. They are dedicated to making sure their customers are satisfied.

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.

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.

Stellar service from Howards Van Line.

We downsized from a large suburban home to a downtown apartment with tight hallways. I was sure my old, oversized sofa wouldn’t make the cut. The movers measured the door frames, twisted and angled the couch just so, and somehow got it through without any rips or dents. It was like watching a puzzle master at work! When it was almost wedged in the doorway, they patiently jiggled it around until it slid free. No damage done, and now my beloved couch has a new home in the city.

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.

My hats off to you!

We had to move on a weekday, during business hours, and the street outside my building is a constant stream of cars. The movers coordinated a parking permit with the city and arrived with orange traffic cones to reserve the space. They worked efficiently to load the truck, never blocking traffic longer than needed. Neighbors were still able to pass, and nobody honked at us once. At the new place, they repeated the same parking strategy, which really minimized stress. Their knack for urban logistics was impressive.

Well organized!

A last-minute lease issue meant I had to move out on short notice. I didn’t have time to shop around or plan anything properly, but this company responded quickly and got me scheduled without any hassle. The crew worked fast and stayed professional throughout. They wrapped every piece of furniture like it was their own and helped calm what had been a really stressful week. Couldn’t have asked for a better team!
