Very disappointing experience with…Very disappointing experience with American Van Lines. The move did not go as planned, communication was poor and unprofessional, and I faced financial loss along with damage to my products, equipment, and appliances. The way my concerns were handled only added to the frustration. Based on my experience, I would be very cautious before trusting this company with a move.May 13, 2026Unprompted reviewUsefulShare

Positive experience! Trevor (our driver) did an excellent job staying in communication with us throughout the move and keeping us updated. We moved from CA to MT, and all items arrived safely, and in good condition. Items were packed as per the quote - would highly recommend Trevor and the team!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐I had an excellent experience with Jacques and Rico from American Van Lines. They were professional, hardworking, careful, and genuinely went above and beyond throughout a very long and complicated move.What impressed me most was the care they took with my belongings and their willingness to work through every challenge that came up. They were respectful of both my furniture and my home, communicated well, and maintained a positive and helpful attitude even after many hours of work.The

The absolute worst most incompetent…The absolute worst most incompetent company I have ever worked with. I hired this moving company based on their initial quote and clear commitments — a fair price, reliable timing, and specific services. What I experienced was the opposite.They tried to charge me double the originally quoted price, then demanded an additional $1,000 at delivery. There was zero advance communication about the price changes, no explanation or documentation, and they failed to de

American Van LinesWe hired American Van Lines on short notice after our POD plan fell through. They provided a fair initial quote of about $12,000 and assured us they could meet our timeline. We also paid an additional $2,000 for a guaranteed two-day pickup window instead of the standard three-day option.The pickup was handled by a subcontractor, City Movers. The crew arrived later in the morning and, despite the extensive pre-packing we had already completed, the process took much longer than e

TOTAL SCAMTOTAL SCAM! I would NOT recommend using American Van Lines for anything. They took over 24 days to deliver my furniture. My furniture sat in my old city for 19 days before they began to truck it. When they delivered my furniture they demanded more money. The driver said “well either pay me more money or I will not take it off the truck!” So I was forced to pay $450 more! Then they damaged my door knobs and broke them off my doors moving in. They refused to reassemble any of the furnit

Ira JohnUS•2 reviewsAug 14, 2026Very late deliveryVery late delivery. Shipment was over a week beyond the promised delivery window. Customer service was lacking in empathy and quite unhelpful. The actual pickup and delivery was contracted out to a different company which was not what I expected. Finally the company offered me a $30 per day discount for each day the delivery was late. First that was an exceptionally low amount to offer for extreme inconvenience. This was an insult and the way the
