Customer Highlights

Mar 27, 2026

Aweful!

In order to post this review, I had to choose a star, but I don't even want to offer this business one. Bad customer service; after numerous talks with various persons, they arrived three times with a truck that was too small for three different businesses. We still don't have everything, and the movers damaged our furniture and the walls in our house. This company has no accountability. I can't emphasize enough how dishonest this business is. Go somewhere else and save your money! We ended ourselves paying three times the original quote to get our items!

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.

Broken agreements

Poor service that is untrustworthy. They employ this technique. In order to gain your trust and business, the broker marketing the contract falsely presents themselves as a family-run company before putting you in touch using a negligent carrier. Before contacting this business to schedule any services, please read this!

They carefully wrapped all our furniture

I hired Howards Van Line to move a large collection of musical instruments, including a piano and several guitars. I was anxious about potential damage. James explained how they would secure each instrument before transport. I watched them wrap and cushion everything with patience. When we arrived at the new place, each instrument was safe and intact.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
