Customer Highlights

Jun 04, 2026

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.

they handled everything very well.

We moved long-distance recently and used their service. The moving coordinator stayed in constant contact throughout the process, which helped ease our nerves. Everything arrived on time and in perfect condition. The final bill was reasonably priced too. They have our highest recommendation!

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.

Simple, Seamless and Satisfactory!!!

My move was a solo relocation, and I was worried I’d be overlooked as a “small job.” But Howards Van Line movers treated it with total professionalism – careful packing, great attitude, and timely delivery. I recommend them to everyone!

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.

Thank you for making it so easy

They worked like a well-oiled machine, coordinating with each other, lifting heavy items with ease, and handling every step with care. I’ve never seen a more efficient team.

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.

Efficient, priced fairly, on time.

I was going from a fully equipped apartment to a tiny studio for graduate school. On a friend's advice, I hired this company's movers, and they made the entire relocation go smoothly by helping me decide what to bring and what to store. I heartily endorse them!

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 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.

They were very responsive

They maneuvered furniture through our tight cellar entrance like puzzle pros. Watching it all fit was oddly satisfying.
