I'm writing this review so that the next person could avoid any additional stress, disappointment, and financial loss due to this company. I will share from what happened to me, and of course the reader gets to choose what to do with this information.
I did a state - to - state move (includes packing, storage, and moving) with North American Van Lines representative STS Relocation/STS Moving and Storage/Seevers Moving in Longmont, CO, on Francis St.
First off, the packers came. I was told they only needed one day to pack. They ended up needing two days. The packers also stole items, little things that I noticed (two phone chargers that were on the kitchen counter), at first. Figure they at least packed rest of my stuff. I was wrong, of course. Then came the "professional mover" who broke my dining table right in front of my eyes! I yelled at him to put the table down. He bent the table in half, vertically, straight up, when the table was to have been sliding side to side. He acted like he's never moved a table like that. Next came a mover who said to my face that the bed frame takes too long to "disassemble," so I should think about buying a new one so they don't have to "reassemble it at the other end." Little red flags, of course.
Once I received the goods at the other end, I found the following:
1. The bedframe was broken! The wooden piece that was broken was attached to a metal frame! I'm thinking, did the guy seriously deliberately break this piece so the bed can't be rebuilt???? He did. An elephant had to have fallen on it to break it there! The Claims department, of course, did not give me a full value to replace the bed.
2. My dining table could not be assembled, because the table piece was broken. Not shocking there at all. The packer at the front end already broke it in front of me!
3. A dining chair was broken, on the back of the chair. Did an elephant step on the back of the chair? Why was the chair's back broken, and none of the other parts of the chair broke? What? That doesn't make sense at all to me either.
4. There was a "Parts Box," where all the hardware for the items they disassembled were kept. There were no parts box to be found. Numerous items were left disassembled; beds (4), TV stand, dining table, desks (2). Filing a claim took time and money, for something that could have been avoided. To me, lack of professionalism all around!
Now, the worst of them all is this part. I started to receive notices in the mail of violations for one of my car's license plate. The ones that WERE in my position, in my house. Why were they "missing," and creating these violations in another state? First came a parking ticket, then a toll violation, and then another moving violation. I called DMV up and they told me I had to report it to the police as stolen plates. I did that, and also reported to the Claims Department, hoping they would remove these movers from their "representation." Instead, they tell me they "had" to tell the local movers. I told them that the police are trying to locate them, so with their "telling the local movers," that's "aiding and abiding" the crime!! They went ahead and did that, and refused to reimburse me for the additional plates I had to purchase again for my car! So, that's items stolen, identity in question, and claims denied. Even if they "claim" insurance will cover it, that is not so.
I've moved cross continent over 6 times with the nationwide network under North American Van Lines over the last 20 years. It took some real effort to be this bad at something you're supposed to be good at! In total, over 10 furniture items were broken and/or needed repair. All and all, it was one of the worst moves of my entire life.
If you still went ahead and decide to use this company, then good luck to you and your move. I would not recommend them. I would not even have them move 1 item for me. There are just too many other movers out there for anyone having to go through what I went through. Read the detailed bad reviews. It came from somewhere. If I can save one person from having to experience this, then I've done one thing right. read more
