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.

Safe delivery
My granddaughter loves the piano and I wanted to give her my old piano for her birthday which was coming up soon. I contacted Midland van lines to move my piano. It was a bit old so it had to be well taken care of. I do not know what they did but when I went to see my granddaughter last week, I saw that it was in very good condition. I think they even cleaned it a little bit. There were no damages and there were no scratches! Unbelievable! Thank you so much! I will not forget this! Good job!

For the first time in my life, I did not need to suffer! I give them 5 stars without any doubts! I will use them again and I will recommend them to all.

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!

These guys are just amazing
Most moving companies fail to deliver what they promise. But Midland van lines isn’t one of them. They were just amazing when they moved my belongings. They promised me that there would be no hidden cost added in the final bill. They kept their promise. They promised that my valuables would be safely transported. Not even one piece suffered the slightest of damage. They promised to arrive on time and deliver as soon as possible. The crew arrived right on time and the delivery was made on the first day. I am thoroughly impressed with these guys.

You can rely on this moving company!

No point in hiring any other company
My shrewdness might have cost me greatly during my last move. I had hired a different company to save money who just went cold turkey on the moving day. After calling them for 3 hours, I decided to ring up Midland van lines and plead for a crew. Amazingly, they could fit me in and sent over a crew immediately. This is the difference between the moving companies on craigslist and experienced ones like Midland van lines. I should have just hired them from the beginning. That would have saved me a lot of hassles.

The moving experts
I was so glad to escape Midland van lines made my move that much sweeter. They took such great care of all my belongings. They showed up on time to begin with on such a short notice. They packed everything skillfully and then loaded them into the van. The whole thing took just over an hour to complete. I couldn’t run away any sooner and it’s like the movers couldn’t either. The delivery was made on time and all my belongings were safe inside the van. Thanks a lot guys!
