Unforgettable Experience

What a wonderful meeting! These movers were pros in packing and unpacking my pricey Jacuzzi, closet, and antique vanity. All around, they made life easier by streamlining a difficult activity. All the way through, they maintained top-notch professionalism and communication. Labels and packaging were spotless for every item. I can't speak highly enough of this company and recommend them for all your moving requirements.

Royal Treatment.

Howard’s Vanline was a great choice, and I'm relieved my grandma wasn't anxious about it because of my history of bad experiences with moving companies. They obviously knew what they were doing when they took extra precautions to protect her furniture. Affordable and welcoming pricing too. This group has my full support!

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.

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.

Exceptional teamwork, and genuine care for their clients

Moving from SD to NY was something I had to do in two days. On the advice of my parents, I contacted Howard’s Vanline. They were punctual, did excellent work, and payment was transparent. They moved my violin and drum set and even went to my storage facility to bring everything there in just 2 hrs. I am impressed beyond words!

Fast, Careful Long Distance

The staff at Howard’s Vanline Team was helpful and kind. They were very careful with all items and gave me detailed instructions on how to complete the transfer process. They packed up my 27-year-old musical room full of valuable antiques and transported it. Thank you very much for being so courteous throughout the transfer.

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.

Overall, not very reliable.

Communication was difficult from the beginning. Calls and messages were not returned promptly, and I had trouble getting updates about my move. Overall, not very reliable.

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.

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.
