Customer Highlights

Dec 22, 2025

Horrible customer service

Was giving an estimate for 3100$ like always I had more stuff than I thought ..so I called with new info about number of boxes etc ..was giving a new price of 6000$ thought it was a little high because I only added on 25 boxes but I agreed ..when I looked closely to the estimate it was for 140 boxes ..I only have 65 boxes ..so I thought when movers came it would be a little cheaper ..but to my surprise the movers said I didn’t pay for enough space..so I needed to pay more for a total of close to 10000$ …I have 75 less boxes than they estimated for ..either the person giving estimate doesn’t know how to do their job or the movers don’t …if I could give them 0 stars I would …oh & it was a Sunday so the 5 different phone numbers I had ..no one answered even tho I was giving the customer service number on Saturday night & told to call on the day of my move which was the next day ..on a Sunday ..no one to talk to ..I told the movers to leave ..I know I will lose half of my deposit but after them scamming me with a decent price then going up to 10000 with less things to move than what was estimated..I figured I better stop now ..If they are that bad, I given estimates what in the world are they gonna do with my furniture.. I decided to rent a truck do it for myself for a whole lot less even after losing the money for the deposit is still cheaper than the 10,000

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.

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.

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.

Spectacular move!!

I hired Howards Van Line after a friend recommended them, and they truly made a difference. The movers stayed patient during the long day and didn’t mind when I kept changing my mind about room placements.

Very frustrating experience.

Several boxes were handled carelessly, and a few belongings arrived damaged. The crew seemed rushed and paid little attention to fragile items. Very frustrating experience.

I would highly recommend working with this team.

The move from my old flat to my new condo went well. I called the company after reviewing their good feedback online. The team came prepared with all their tools and stuff. They secured the boxes properly and made sure fragile items were handled correctly.

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.

The experience was disappointing.

I expected a smoother process, but there were several issues along the way. Customer support was difficult to reach, and concerns were not addressed promptly. The experience was disappointing.

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.
