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.

Positive experience
I had a positive experience with Midland van lines. They gave me a good deal and moved me like a king! The moving team came on time and packed everything up very quickly. All the glassware, fragile items and expensive items were nicely packed and moved. The furniture was also nicely carried and moved. Not a single dent and not a single damage! I really loved how everything was returned back to me in one piece. My experience was great! I highly recommend this moving company!

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.

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!

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!

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.

Hiring them was the best idea!
I got to know about Midland van lines from a colleague and I am so glad that I hired them! They made my life so much easier! I was so tense about moving, but the guys from this company made this experience very smooth and easy. The guys came on time and moved everything with care. They moved the furniture very nicely and did not damage anything while they were passing the narrow hallways. They were clearly very efficient and professional. They moved me without any damage at all! Thank you once again! I will recommend this company to everyone.

Trust me this company is terrible !!
Stay away from this company. We are currently using them for our move. we spent hours on the phone with the salesman providing him with a detailed inventory. The original estimate was $10k. They arrived today to pick up the furniture and tell us that their estimate is wrong and the cost is now $14k. A 40% in ease because they estimated I correctly. Talk about Buyer beware,
