    We needed to get out of our home In Chicago, Illinois pretty quickly and ultimately decided to use Stanford Van lines , Because, they were Available. the scheduling went really smoothly for the most part and the moving crew did a good job of accommodating our move despite little delay. the day of the move the crew arrived on time and very consistently moving quick while working. most items were packed well as we had expected but a few of the smaller household items did not get packed as well as hoped. Therefore, We spent some time Checking Boxex after they went onto the truck to able to ensure that everything went onto the truck. we would have liked some improved Communication Regarding when our Delivery was Scheduled because it did take longer than they initially anticipated for our delivery. While we do not lose or have any of our belongings damaged during the packing/ delivery process. overall, they did accomplish what they needed to in terms of fulfillment of service. Improvement could be made with consistency with pack of Boxex and communication in helping to maintain their Scheduled timing

    Service requested was completed and most Furniture arrived fine. A couple boxes could have been packed better though. the price stayed as quoted--- which i appreciated. overall, Quality was average but acceptable. It was an okay moving experience

    I recently made a move of my shop and some household items from IL to SC. I called Safe Ship Mover (big mistake, as they are not a shipper, they are only a dispatch service). Anyway, they dispatched Stanford Van Lines. They requested an additional $500 to move my toolbox. (I get it, it's heavy) So I paid it. But upon arrival, the toolbox that I PAID EXTRA for special handling was destroyed. I filed a claim, but they only offered $300. Pittence. So I requested arbitration, but the arbitration company said that Standford Van Lines was not even a member of the United States Movers Association (USMA).SO, no Arbitration is possible, so now I'm out the $500, and the replacement cost of the tool box at $1200. DO NOT HIRE THIS COMPANY. If they could not handle a toolbox, imagine if they moved a heavy load.

    OVerall A Decent Experience. my move went Fairly Smoothy and the team was professional and handled my belongings with care. Pickup and Delivery were completed Schedules. SOme Minor Communications issues during the process, but noothing too serious. Still some room for Improvement in Customer Communication.

    If you are on the fence, book them. the Crew was friendly, careful, and organized and they treated my belongings with respect., Communication was clear, and the kept me updated on timing. 0 damage, 0 drama, This is exactly what you want in a moving company.

    there was slight delay getting started ,but once they began working the team moved at a steady pace. Pricing was transparent.

    the team showed up close to the scheduled time and worked efficiently. some fragile items could have been packed more securely, but everything arived mostly intact. communication during the process could have been clearer. I used Their Service for packing and moving services for my 3 bedroom home.A decent option if you are looking for an average priced moving company.

    Excellent communication, received several confirmation texts and movers called when they were 15…read moremin away. Showed up on time, were friendly and professional. The only thing I believe could be made more clear was that there is a high transportion cost on top of what you pay for the actual move time which is for their time to drive to your location and back. My move came out to exactly 3 hours which was the estimate but that did not factor in the $100 transportation fee which I feel is excessive and should just be factored into the estimate.

    Can't help but write a review after my Dad wrote one and my sister wrote a complaint…read more Based on how our dissatisfaction- it doesn't seem this place cares about accountability or about the services they are providing. Just to start with the experience itself was really slow and it was explained to my sister that there would be three movers and only two showed up. The process was slow and I felt frustrated - and based on interactions with the individuals assigned to my specific job- I am not quite sure exactly what was the point of hiring movers. It took the movers from around 9:30 to 2:30 to pack a full truck. I would describe the demeor of the two men as slap happy or almost unprofessional- it felt that you were always almost being laughed at or condescended. It almost seemed the two men were deliberately taking there time to add hours on the clock and pay. If that wasn't enough- here are a few main events that were alarming- - while at my old apartment, the movers literally asked me how/to help move the couch down the outdoor stairwell. I don't want to gripe or be a snot, but kinda thought- this is exactly why professional movers were hired...... - the second thing- getting into my new place- when the men came to my lobby, when they came to my lobby- I was literally asked- can we just leave the stuff in the lobby? Just sheer lazyness for a lack of better term- I was just absolutely appalled by the sheer lack of professionalism and wondered what thought process did the movers have ? Are they aware of their assigned job description or why they are hired for? The last offense- I gave them the keys to get in my new apartment before dropping my sisters things off at her new apartment half a mile away and of course they didn't give me back my key- and my parents had to go help me get it from them, and apparently they thought it was funny. Worse - my Dad wrote a complaint and they called my sister, harassing her- to remove it? Like excuse my language but if you want good reviews- make sure your employees are taking it seriously and not doing a half ass job? Don't harass my sister because your employees can't get it together. Completely embarrassing- like how do you own a company- look at the past couple of weeks and have multiple one star reviews and not feel embarrassed or ? I am glad to know it wasn't just me and my sister. In addition despite a completely unacceptable experience- barely anything was offered back. Please, please- please do not hire this company they do not give a single crap about the experience provided- they just want you money at the end of the day and good reviews without actually delivering. I hope this review helps people choose another company the other reviews too- showing moveman that's fine if they don't care but actions have consequences. *I am pretty sure I noticed a few reviews- not sure- of the day I moved that were one star within the same week but those are gone. I am going to guess that others were intimidated to remove the poor reviews- showing the 4.9 stars grossly inaccurate- what I suspected.

Then he came when he said he would, did what he said he would while I worked from home upstairs. Took a little longer than expected, but in the bounds of a reasonable estimate, and no upcharge. All in all, I'm very satisfied, and would hire again for similar sized jobs.

After talking to the manufacturer we have now realized they installed the two panels that form the side of the drawers upside down. In hindsight, you'd think the fact that the top drawer would only fit in upside down would have been their first clue. They actually left that drawer in the cabinet like that, the other three drawers on the floor because they're unable to be inserted. Instead of realizing their mistake they just tried to get the drawers to fit, damaging all of the drawer runners in the process. So now we have to pay for new drawer runners and for someone knowledgeable to disassemble the entire table, install the new runners, reverse those two panels, and then reassemble the entire table properly. They were also extremely unprofessional, both swearing like truck drivers downstairs while we had guests, rather than telling us they were running into problems with the assembly. Maybe they could handle a simple piece of IKEA furniture, but DO NOT let them touch any expensive pieces!
