1. No doubts.

   I am always tempted to doubt several things. As such, it wasn’t strange when I had seamless doubts clouding my mind when I first hired out this relocation company. From what I had heard from friends, they were reliable enough although I still had my doubts. After they had been done with the relocation services, however, I had nothing to say. It was a fantastic experience with fantastic guys. I never had any reason to get anxious when they handled my moving. I loved them most for their respect, but above all, their care for my belongings. They treated them as their very own and ensured that none of my things were lost in the process. The quote that they gave me was spot on, and I have to admit that they are the most affordable in New York. Thank you Long Distance Movers, you made me save money and time!

2. Moving.

   Be careful when you talk to a broker and they quote you an "estimate". I talked to a Lady in Florida almost 2 hours and she was a talker. She didn't listen to all I said. Never Never hire anyone who doesn't come out and price for you. They use second and third parties to do the job and the price goes up. Mine doubled plus. I really didn't have a lot of big items, more boxes, for I had down sized 2 x in the past 4 years. I was then given another broker to take over (paying 2 now ) The company they sent to pick up was very hard to deal with . I will say the guys were OK but their boss was horrible. Slow very slow. Worst experience dealing with these companies than I have ever experienced. Said it would be a week to deliver and showed up 9 days later with no contact. Communication was horrible. I had to make calls and get put off. The biggest complaint of mine is the lies they tell you and the cost was ridiculous . Please please don't be scammed by this company. Very disappointed and broke now. Thanks to their Scam.

3. I feel so good for trusting them.

   After deciding to move houses and settle in a different state, the next task was to find a truly professional moving company that will properly handle my situation. The reputation of Long Distance Movers made me choose them even though I hadn’t used them previously. I feel so good for trusting them because they did not let me down and helped me in my relocation in every little way. I highly respect the team work and spirit shown by Long Distance Movers staffs when moving me all the way from North Carolina to my current home in Maryland. It was a long distance, and I only wanted a perfect mover for the right money, and as it turned to be, the company did not let me down. The delivery was quite timely and would recommend them to everybody.

4. LDM, Inc are only brokers, not movers.

   I used Long Distance Movers the end of 2017 to contract move 48 boxes of furnishings from Oregon to Florida. $2200 price was fair mid-range quote (always avoid low-ball bids!).
   
   Without advance knowledge of their selected service provider in Oregon I could do no research on that service. Pickup started great but cross-country delivery resulted in disappearance of two heavy boxes of stereo equipment worth $3600, with lame excuses and absolutely no follow-up by shipper. Their claims process was incompetent and I’m screwed on losses. If you cannot absolutely prove your loss, your loss. Damaged pieces are at least evidence, so take good inventory notes as best you can. Photos of contents are good.
   
   Overall, LDM was not responsible for losses but neither did they give me support after the fact or even chance to investigate contracted providers in advance. This is an industry fraught with unscrupulous dealings, no regulation, and little legal recourse. Spend the money and get it done right with reputable services.

5. Rude,disrespectful company.

   After finding out they're just brokers, the company they sent, movers Services out of Georgia. This company refuses to answer or return calls, trying to charge $3000 more after they left, had other people's property on the truck, smoking pot in my driveway after being told not too,threatened to leave our stuff unless we paid them cash, now we are trying to get our stuff delivered to Destin Florida and have no clue if we will ever see our belongings.

6. Job done perfectly.

   There is every reason to believe that Long Distance Movers are the best movers all over PA. They were very helpful with my relocation, and I’m very happy with one of my cousins who had used them and recommended them to me when she heard that I was looking for a professional mover. Now I recommend them to everybody who may need relocation at one point or another. They are very efficient and would get the job done perfectly for you. They even courteously separated my sofa sets and put them into boxes and embarked on the hard work of reassembling them once they were at my new place at Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

7. Lying thieves.

   This crooked "moving" business is a broker! They are not the ones moving your stuff! I hope that people read this before hiring them.They ended up contracting out AMPM Moving LLC out of St Louis, MO. I thought it was Long Distance Movers that would be showing up but it was AMPM and that is when I was told that Long distance is a broker. I had no choice but to use them at that point because I had to be in Omaha that next week. I was also told by Todd that it wouldn't be a problem for my stuff to be delivered on October the 2nd or 3rd. It is now October the 12th and I was just told by AMPM that my stuff should be here tomorrow the 13th. Long Distance Movers quoted me 3059.42 total on my move. I paid them 1200 down on it and was totally prepared to pay AMPM the 1859.42 difference. Now AMPM is telling me that I owe 4273.53 total so they are wanting to charge me another 1214.11 on top of what I was prepared for.Todd also told me that I would be able to use my credit card for the entire move and AMPM is informed me that they do not take cards.I feel like I did not get any near that service that I paid Long Distance Movers for ($1200 I paid them again by the way). I truly pray that people read these reviews before hiring this scam of a company because they are really good at telling you what you want to hear.

8. Horrible movers.

   If you would like to get scammed for a higher quote and unethical movers please call Long distance movers! Originally my fiance and I already booked a separate mover and when Greg from Long Distance called us back we informed him that his quote was too high and we decided to go with another mover. So Greg decided to use scare tactics to inform us that the movers we were initially using was actually in named something different in the past and they just rename themselves whenever their reviews become subpar. So in essence Greg was defaming another company. Ignorant to the industry, we believed him. We also mentioned to him the other movers we were using can do a large item deposal. in which he claimed our movers can as well. Forfeited our deposit and went with long distance movers. My advice to anyone and everyone moving is to lookup the company on the department of transportation website. If your movers are not registered in your state they outsource your job to another company. So all of these good reviews here is actually a facade. It is russian roulette about who you end up with. In my experience I ended up with Cobra Van Lines. He claimed in the morning of our move that he received a call the day before canceling our order. Um. No. Long distance movers called us to confirm and we said "No we did not say so". The mover comes in aggravated and mad because "he just flew in." Well, it is not my problem that his company was disorganized. I offered him coffee just so that he can pump up for our order. In the beginning of the order, I showed him where all the items were (parked on two sides of the kitchen wall and mentioned to him about the bed deposal). He acknowledged everything and asked us to sign the paperwork. Also, we paid him extra tip to dispose the bed. In the middle of the move, without notifying he was leaving - he left. He left behind half of our inventory. HALF. It was not that hard. Everything was parked by the wall. When we called back Long Distance, I was told by management that they cannot do anything about it. Great, he literally left and I immediately called. I was told by management my voice recording would be replayed to see if Greg ever promised about the bed deposal within 48hrs. It has been a month. She also went back and forth with me regarding items on the list that was not delivered. In the end I had to say we can go on all day about he said she said but on the list my vacuum cleaner, my boxes, my lamp, and a large picture frame was not loaded and that is the reality of the situation. They delivered the items today and my glassware is all damaged and I am missing a box that had my coffee maker, water boiler, toaster oven, and other misc kitchenware. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE SCARED INTO PAYING FOR A HIGHER FEE WITH AN UNETHICAL COMPANY PLEASE FEEL FREE TO GO WITH LONG DISTANCE! IF YOU WOULD LIKE POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE PLEASE GO TO LONG DISTANCE! IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK WITH SALES WHO LIES ABOUT OTHER COMPANIES GO TO LONG DISTANCE. IF YOU WOULD LIKE HALF OF YOUR INVENTORY FORGOTTEN AND MYSTERIOUSLY MISSING GO TO LONG DISTANCE. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO HEAR SNAPPY CUSTOMER SERVICE REPS AHEM NANCY PARELLA GO TO LONG DISTANCE. If you do decide to go to long distance do not book with GREG.

   EDIT: I was just contacted by Annie regarding taking my post down for $400. If you see any bad reviews that just gets taken down it is either they tried to file with Google review or Yelp to have it removed or they paid off the client. She even emailed me saying I have tried everything to rectify the situation so you should remove your review. This is after I denied her $400 offer to remove my review.

9. 54 days no stuff..no calls..no care!

   Hired a broker who hired One Way Van Lines. Picked up my stuff in Pittsburgh PA on 08/10/2018, delivery to California was set for 09/08/2018..today is 10/03/2018 and still NO stuff. They told me it was "estimated" to come last week, no calls. The movers nor the broker will call me back.
   They told me on the phone "they do not like to get involved"..did I hire them to be involved?
   
   I have been living out of a suitcase with a 20 month old baby for 54 days now.

10. Proudly yours.

    Those guys from Long Distance Movers are the movers that one wishes for when relocating. Their understanding of the dynamics of the industry, skills and experience were evident from the beginning of the move to the end. Long Distance Movers is the epitome of professional and passionate movers. I have used several other companies who only gave me problems, but not Long Distance Movers. Firstly, their professionalism meant that they were quite adaptable given the stern regulations regarding truck loading. They delivered hours before the quoted time, so I never had time to stress about anything. They also had the courtesy of calling me to announce their arrival and importantly, none of my belongings were scratched or smashed. I highly propose them.

11. Liars!

    Giving this lying, low-life company a one star is a better rating then they deserve.
    If they do answer your calls, they will lie to you about pickup and delivery. They hold your belongings hostage.
    
    Worse than that, you will sign a contract with them agreeing to a price, then when the movers come, they will up-charge you. Personally, this up-charge was over 1,000 dollars.
    
    They are cowards and liars, and should be out of business.

12. Awesome skills.

    I now enjoy my new residence in Avon Lake, Ohio courtesy of Long Distance Movers. The movers showed awesome skills packing and moving my things and delivering without any damages. The company is awesome, and I would recommend them. I loved the way Long Distance Movers guys disassembled everything and then reassembled them as if they were born doing it already. Their great skills meant that all my belongings were intact by the end of the relocation, and I will always recommend the company.

13. Bait and switch.

    Long distance movers llc deserves 0 starts
    
    I contacted them to move from Michigan to Florida for $1500. They said price would not move. 3 days before moving they increased the price to $2500. Also they told us we would only be able to take 1/2 the stuff we told them we planned to take. I couldn’t back out because they had my $1000 deposit. I dreadfully agreed because we were stuck. The day of their appointment they said it would be between 8am to noon. 5pm came and they finally answered our call to let us know they could be there at 9pm. We told them to forget it and were only able to recoup $400 of the $1000 we gave them.
    
    Stay away and save your money.

    

14. I adore their services.

    I moved from California to Arizona using the services of Long Distance Movers. The experience was quite an impressive one. Unlike the other relocation experiences, which were marred with chaos, my experience with this relocation company was so peaceful. Not at one time did we quarrel. Most notably, there were no cases of lost properties or broken utensils. I am certain it was only possible because of their diligence. Keep up that level of professionalism. Of all the movers I have worked with, the only people you can rely on for awesome relocations is their crew. The others were great were great disappointments whom I would not like to associate. The latter was good enough, and they relocated me effectively at pocket-friendly rates. Also, their services were fast enough and full of diligence. If you keep up the same spirit, you can be sure of having me in your loyal list of clients forever.

15. That was awesome.

    No one needs mediocrity - especially where payment is involved. That is why I went extra miles in my endeavours of searching for the ideal relocation company. I ended up with Long Distance Movers, and I must say it was a great move. The people relocated me with lots of professionalism, and they did the work in a more honourable way. Additionally, their services were good enough considering that I relocated peacefully. They are among the few service providers I my full trust and belief in. The other movers were not able to measure up to my expectations. All my friends expected me to raise complains after the relocations because it was the norm. It, therefore, came as a great surprise at the end of the relocations when instead of complaining, I congratulated the team for a job well done. I wrapped it all up by tipping them. There is no doubt they deserved every single bit of that.
