Moving company in Fort Wayne, IN
Their attitude was downright disrespectful. The crew complained about how tiring the job was, even though I had everything packed and ready to go. They dropped my nightstand on the stairs and then told me I should have hired more people to help them. Absolutely absurd.
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.
They raised the price 4 times after the initial quote. They took things apart for no reason. Packed as little in boxes as possible to justify the space they needed to make the final price quoted correct. Several things arrived broke. A TV arrived broke. They pay 60 cents a pound can collect 12 for it and it's on sale for 118 to replace right now
Even though I've moved more times than I can count, this was the first occasion when everything went according to plan. On time, polite, and very efficient, the crew was great.
Recently I hired this moving company to move me cross country and they gave me an excellent crew. They were very obedient, caring, professional and experienced. I was in charge the entire time and the moving crew did exactly what I wanted. They moved everything so smoothly! Everything was delivered without any damages and without any scratches. It all went well! Their pricing was low and it did not change in the end. Whenever moving will come up, I will hire Midland van lines without any hesitation! They are worth it!
Moving here was the easiest thing I have ever done. The movers showed up promptly and got to work right away. They took great care to pack everything securely, and they were very organized. I like how they kept me updated at all times through their correspondence. No furniture was missing or damaged, and everything was neat and tidy at my new house. When it came to efficiency and professionalism, they blew me away.
Worst company to go through. I would never bother with these people. They broke half our stuff and didn't deliver the other half. They damaged my new house with the move. We've been calling for 2 months with no reposnse other than, we will call you back. Today, Frank decided to be a big bad boy by yelling at my mother on the phone about the stuff that weve been asking them to look into. Lawyers will now be involved. Do not waste your money or time on this horrible company.
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!
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!
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!
