Worst Experience with a Mover in my life
When planning a move, some things might seem obvious. You want to get a price for getting your belongings packed, placed on a truck, and delivered safely to your new home. You might also consider guarantees regarding the possibility of a loss due to damage or misplaced items. The quality of all of the work being offered also matters. Well, Midland Van Lines fell far short in every category and many others. Beware! This company is NOT a moving company with trucks and workers that are hired and supervised by a corporate structure. The fact is that the moving company business consists of movers and those who contract with movers. Midland will work very hard to convince you, if you inquire, that they are a full-service moving company. Do NOT believe them. They are a contractor. We saw two different trucks and two different crews. The competence of each crew was also quite different. Read their contract carefully if you are foolish enough to hire them. Two items stand out. They cover loss by paying by the pound but charge for the move by the cubic foot. They pay 60 cents a pound for damaged items. They do not cover any furniture made with fiberboard, such as almost all furniture sold by IKEA. Midland Van Lines failed to give me a set price. They gave me an estimate, called one week before the move, and altered it based on exact descriptions of items. They then upcharge for that change. We refused to accept the higher estimate. On the day of the move, the contract states that you shouldn’t allow the movers to place any items on the truck until they give you a guaranteed final price. They refused. Now what could we do? We were stuck. So, delay our move? Not possible in almost any scenario, right? So, we let them load the truck. When finished, they said, we will either lower or raise the price based on the final cubic feet calculations. Did we get to measure? No, we had to trust them. The contract meant nothing. The increased cost was $1282.80. Now, about our move. They lost items and couldn’t find them. They delivered items that weren’t ours and didn’t attempt to recover them for their owners. They refused to cover the loss because of that fiberboard clause. They offered a $50 courtesy payment for my loss of over $450 of items that didn’t arrive. Two different moving crews and trucks were involved in my move. I paid three different entities, and only one was Midland Van Lines. The others were all contractors. You will find many reviews of this company, and they will all include some version of our story. Hire a company that gives you a set price, reasonable guarantees for loss, and has equipment and crew hired by them. This usually means someone local. Beware, some companies are NOT local and have similar or the same name as local companies. We believe our move was unsatisfactory due to the upcharge and undelivered items.

Excellent pricing and service
If you need a very good moving company and also at a reasonable amount, hire Midland van lines. They are the one for you! They are very efficient, skilled and professional. They will move you like no other! They have the best team that will take care of everything for you. I hired them a month ago and they made my move so easy and smooth. They came on time and packed everything with care. Not just the packing, they moved everything very carefully too! There were no damages in the end and the price did not change. You can rely on this moving company!

Trust me this company is terrible !!
It is best to just find someone else. These people will bait-and-switch you with a lowball quote, and hit you with an additional 400 cubic feet, minimum, of extra space charges on their truck. I have been trying to get my property from these people for over a month now. They don't respond to emails. They don't answer their phones, when you try to call them. There are so many red flags I wish I had the time to warn you all about with this "company". One big red flag is that they only take a check, or Zelle for payment.

Dealing with them was an absolute breeze!
Midland Van Lines really came through for me when I needed them! They went out of their way to fit in with my schedule, which was a huge relief. Even though they were a tad late, they made up for it with their awesome service. The team was patient and super respectful throughout. They handled all our stuff with care, making sure everything was in the right spot without me having to lift a finger. Dealing with them was an absolute breeze!

I loved how they dealt with every situation
This moving company is very experienced and skilled. They have a solution for everything. The day they came to work, the lift was not working. They did not mind at all and they moved everything by the stairs. They packed everything so well that nothing got damaged. On delivery, they could not get the furniture in from the door. You know what they did? Somehow, they got it in from the window! It was so amazing! I have never seen such an amazing crew. I will use them again and I will recommend them. Midland van lines is like no other!

If I could do zero star I would
DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY! They lost MULTIPLE boxes and completely shattered our tv. They have been the absolute worst company we have ever used. The customer service is nonexistent.

Best for long distance move
Midland van lines has done a great job with my long distance move recently. I cannot ask any more from them because they moved me very smoothly and peacefully and within the given time. Their price was low and very reasonable. The moving team came on time and quickly wrapped and moved all of my belongings. They were very careful and serious and not a single damage was found in the end. I highly recommend this moving company because I found no flaws. I was moved without any stress and without any damages! Thank you so much!
