1. Move with Nationwide / Colonial Van Lines / Moving Squad

   Lease, please, please do not use Nationwide Move Management, Colonial Van Lines or Moving Squad. This umbrella of companies is a total fraud. I contracted with them for a long-haul move from NYC to Florida. The team showed up at my apartment without the appropriate equipment and used a broom handle to hang my clothes. As you can guess, all of the clothes were delivered filthy and in a heap at the bottom of the boxes. This was just the start of the problems.
   
   Upon delivery, nearly ALL of my items were broken or missing. Specifically:
   
   - Bed Frame (delivered without the tools to reassemble the bed and the hydraulic system).
   
   - Dresser (delivered with a split down the side)
   
   - Sofa (delivered without all of the legs)
   
   - Media Console (delivered in a condition that was hazardous. Moving Squad had to remove from our apartment for safety)
   
   - Television (delivered with a broken screen)
   
   - Lamp (was lost and not delivered)
   
   This inventory list accounts for nearly 100% of the furniture moved from a one-bedroom apartment in NYC. The team flat out lied about the need for insurance. My salesman said multiple times: "you don't need the insurance...it is a waste of money...we treat your belongings as if they are our own"... Total scam artists. $5,000 for the move and $15,000 in damaged/lost goods.
   
   Again, if it is not abundantly clear from the above, do NOT hire this company. I cannot stress this enough, and I am writing this review to protect you and cherished your belongings.

2. Move from Louisiana to Texas

   DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!
   
   Once our things were loaded they doubled the cost. 1865 SF house and a 500 SF studio cost us over $17000! Original quote was $7900, then 3 days before the move it went to $12,000. When we tried to cancel Heidi told us it was to late to cancel. When we threatened to sue, she laughed and said good luck with that.
   
   Multiple items broken and a quarter of the boxes were not marked. I packed up over half the house and studio myself before they arrived. Worst company ever!!!

3. Do not use ever

   We moved the entire family from ca too tx
   
   these people are scam
   
   moved two homes. all of our stuff was damaged and all of our boxes were opened and searched through and all the jewelry was stolen and anything else they could take of value by the people they contract which we were never informed of and the movers still have not delivered the other half of our belongings too us and is been 60 days plus
   
   DONT USE THIS COMPANY EVER
   
   THEY USE NAMES LIKE MDA RELOCATION AND ALL TRUST MOVING
   
   THEY ARE HUGH RIP OFF
   
   so basically we paid them almost 20k too rob our family
   
   and my mother of things we worked for our entire lives

4. Worst Moving Company Ever

   This was the absolute worst experience I could have imagined from a moving company. Their phone operators are highly unprofessional and tried quoting me $1k more than the original quote because of our headboard? They picked up our stuff on time and told us they could drop it off 7 days later but said it would take no longer than 21 days. Well it took them 22 days. They promised us that they would reassemble the furniture, which was in the contract, but when they arrived, they said they couldn’t assemble IKEA furniture. On top of that, they completely broke our nightstand and several boxes were busted more than expected for a move. The communication was non-existent throughout the whole service. We had to contact them several times just to even get a timeline for which they would reply “someone will call you 24 hours before they get there.” I don’t even know how this company is in business. They are a bunch of scam artists, highly unprofessional, and don’t care in the least about their promised service to you and your stuff. Never, I repeat, NEVER do business with this company. You will save yourself a lot of money, time, and stress.

   

5. Nightmare Move.

   I contacted Nationwide Movers and they subcontracted to a company called Moving You 4 Less and what a nightmare I went through. This company was very unprofessional and they blatantly lied about their drivers being employed and about their warehouse being climate and pest control. After having the movers show up a day late to pick up my furniture, I had an even harder time getting it delivered 3 weeks later. They tried to tell me they had 30 days leeway to deliver my stuff from Hollywood Florida. I told them that was unacceptable because I had a vacation planned to move into my new home and I needed my furniture delivered during that time. I ended up having to cancel my vacation because the furniture never arrived and they called me a week later tell me it would be delivered the next day but the next day the driver called and said it wouldn't be until the following day. Many items were broken and most of the boxes were crushed. I had items smashed to smithereens like the boxes had been thrown around and everything was infested with roaches. They tore the legs off my grill and then just threw them inside the grill for me to find later. Moving You 4 Less is a horrible company and if they ever contact you take my advice and DO NOT hire them.

6. Poor Service.

   I was promised for the delivery in a week time but i'm waiting more than 2 weeks now for the items to get delivered. Also they don't have a date for the delivery yet. Cost also high when compared to other movers. Please don't go for these people if you want your things to be moved on time.

7. Thieves and Liars!!

   What a Nightmare!!Never,Never,Never, will I use Nationwide Moving in Hollywood Florida..My son passed away 4/3/18.I had to go back home to Cleveland, OH to bury him. I had to move my son's belongings back to CA with me. I hired Nationwide Movers.. Big Mistake!! First, I let Ron know I needed long term storage..I'm in a small apartment in LA. Nationwide replied Oh Yes we offer Long Term Storage Lie number one!! Only to find on July 17th I get a call from a Moving company here in LA stating they had my belongings..Received my belongings only to find my deceased son's TV from his bedroom was Stolen!! My son also had a Smith & Wesson Rifle that was Stolen..also his 2 vacuums foldable shopping cart, Microwave cart, Floor Lamp,Table Top Fan, Antique Telephone Table the Inventory List you're Given is A Complete Joke!! The items the movers plan to Steal Do Not Go On The Inventory Sheet!!,The movers who come to your home see Firsthand what Personal Property you have before they wrap up your belongings for instance the TV's ..I filed a Police Report ..I will seek Legal Counsel on this matter as well.. A Consumer Protection Atty in Cleveland to find out my Legal Recourse at this point!! This is "APPALLING!! I am still dealing with the Lost of my 37 y.o. son..now his belongings got Stolen he is not here to replace any of it!! Where does it state in Nationwide Moving Company Contract where it states the Movers can Shop and Steal Consumers Personal Property??..Nationwide Moving Company in Hollywood Florida needs Prayer!!

8. The worst Moving Company ever.

   If we could give this company a negative 5 star we would. The worst experience ever. Not only was our Furniture and belongings held hostage for double the quoted cost. Many of our items were not received and damaged. We were told many lies and and were treated rudely by everyone at the company. They caused us alot of stress. Our antique table which we told them was very old ans special to us was deliberately destroyed. Boxes were crushed and pictures had water damage. Office desk was destroyed. When we called we were given a bogus link to file a claim. They should not be in business ir alliwed to keep taking advantage of many people. Please do not go with this company. Wish we had read the reviews and done our research before going with them. We know they stole many items as well.

9. Nationwide Movers.

   I am sorry we picked this mover and strongly suggest to anyone "not" to use them. They picked up our furniture and belongings on May 5th and were extremely unprofessional and left a quarter of our stuff sitting in our kitchen and said they would not fit. They were to deliver to our home in NJ and as of today we do not know where our stuff is and BBB is trying to help us because they don't answer the phone. Also they charged double the price when they picked up. DO NOT USE THIS MOVER.

10. Theives.

    Guaranteed delivery date of one week from pick up and guaranteed amount of $1200 for the move. Delivery was 4 weeks later. Amount was $4000. On top of that, my boxes were all gone through and items stolen. The company refuses to take care of anything. So, next step, police report.

11. Pathetic excuse for a company and lied.

    I was promised my stuff in 5 days. They took 14. I was given a quote 800 less then what I actually was charged. And they broke a bunch of my items and just said insurance company will handle it. Avoid them like the plague.

12. Absolutely NO.

    My husband reached out to Nationwide Movers to have a long haul move completed. He spoke with RON who provided an Estimate which was 3000 dollars less than we were actually charged. The load estimated changed AFTER the entire truck was loaded. Items that weren't to be loaded (even as specified during the initial walk through) were loaded. This is indirect dispute with FCMA guidelines. Trucks were not loaded based on weight (also not complaint with FCMA guidlines). Do your homework don't use this company, no matter what you are told it will absolutely be untrue. Read all of the information you can on the FCMA website and this article https://www.moving.com/tips/top-10-moving-scams/ . This company checks off on nearly all 10.

13. Deserves zero stars.

    Where to begin..first, the person who gave me the quote & set everything up blatantly lied to me. He promised that I would not pay a penny over the estimate. But when the movers came; the cost was DOUBLE what I was promised.
    Second, I was promised that the movers would arrive between 9-11am. At 11:45am, I tried calling the dispatch & the guy who set the move up. No one answered & no one returned my calls. I had to keep calling until someone picked up. When they did, they were extremely rude and basically told me that they're busy & I should appreciate that they're moving me. Third, again, I was told my delivery would arrive within 3-7 days. That was another lie. I'll be lucky if they deliver within 3 1/2 weeks.
    Lastly, there has been no update or communication from the movers themselves. I specifically asked them to text or call me to provide a delivery date. A move that was quoted and promised at 1250.00 has turned into 3350.00! I recommend reading reviews & doing research before selecting a moving company.

14. Goods Not Delivered.

    Ronald said delivery would be 6 to 9 days. Pick up on 4/20/2015 was on time but truck has not yet left for California after 20 days. Dispatch says they will notify me when truck leaves for California and that they have up to 21 days per contract after the earliest pick up date which was 4/25/2015 although this was not specified by Ronald the salesman.

15. Worst Moving Company for Seniors.

    Picked up on time delivery date was 15 days late. Small amount of compensation for missed delivery date. Poor and hostile communication by Manny. Many crushed boxes and a lot of broken furniture. Boxes were left in  a New Jersey storage facility that we had to pick up at our own expense. Very poor moving company that only lists good reviews on its site.
