Customer Highlights

Jan 07, 2026

very smoothly and tension-free

We closed on our new house a week after leaving the old one. We needed short-term storage for all our furniture. Howards Van Line loaded everything, took it to their clean, secure warehouse, and delivered it exactly one week later. The whole process felt incredibly streamlined and safe.

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.

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.

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.

Great service and lovely to deal with

The move from my old studio was a success. The guys had to take the heavy door off my wardrobe because it kept swinging open while they carried it. They gripped the wooden frame from the bottom and tilted it to clear the low ceiling in the hallway. I watched them shove thick foam blocks between my bike and the heavy boxes in the van.

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.

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.

Best Move Ever, Not Kidding.

These workers did a great job fitting my large dining table into a very tight space. They worked well together and did not stop until each item was in its place.

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.

extremely helpful and pleasant

I had to move a lot of heavy furniture, and I was worried about how it would go. The crew was strong, fast, and very careful with everything. They made sure nothing was damaged, and everything was moved efficiently. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
