All went well … packed and tracked all items and confirmed all when dropped off. Pick up and delivery was within 2 days covering 700 miles. Cost, considering their truck, people, gas, driving, etc. was very reasonable. Slight confusion and call back delays when dealing with office people but all worked out. Also, no intensive sell pitches and constant annoying calls like was received from other providers.
We had a great experience with this company.. They were efficient and fast.. they make sure you will get what your moneys worth. Usually moving is expensive and stressful but with this company everything had been well taken cared of. Highly recommend. Will hire them again if we move back to NY in the future.

On time, pleasant, professional and respectful, very hard working paying meticulous attention to details and instructions. Gets the job done in the time frame you hired them for.
American Van Lines was efficient, quick and overall a great experience. Price was average compared to other movers. I was impressed with doing an estimate on FaceTime rather than filling out a form. They could SEE what my furniture looked like. I would definitely use them again.
The movers arrived on time. They were very professional and very careful with our items. Everything was carefully wrapped and arrived in good condition.
Four gentlemen came; they were polite and professional; they worked fast being considerate of the hourly rate; they were careful with my things, wrapped and boxed things correctly; they drove to my new location and worked just as diligently and efficiently; they set my things up and always asked where I wanted things to go; I highly recommend this company.
The movers took great care in wrapping everything properly and getting my furniture out of the house without causing damage to the furniture or the walls.
