Zero complaints, perfect move

I cannot believe how efficiently they packed our truck. Not a single inch of space was wasted and nothing shifted during transport. True professionals at work.

Will use again without hesitation

Very thorough with the packing and the inventory list. They even helped me reassemble my bed frame and mounted my TV. Went above and beyond. Will definitely book again.

Professional and thorough throughout

Good movers who clearly know what they are doing at Colonial Van Lines. They packed everything carefully and loaded the truck efficiently. The only small issue was that a bolt went missing during the disassembly of my bed frame, but Benny apologized and replaced it on the spot from a hardware kit they carry. That kind of preparedness says a lot about the company. My move from Albuquerque, NM to Raleigh, NC went smoothly and cost $2,900. Would use Colonial Van Lines again. Joshua Cooper

Simply the best in the business

Where do I even begin? Colonial Van Lines handled my move from Indianapolis, IN to Columbus, OH and it was, without exaggeration, the smoothest moving experience of my life. I had been dreading this move for weeks — packing up a four-bedroom house with two kids and a dog felt impossible — but from the moment Ray and his crew knocked on my door at 7:45 AM, all my anxiety melted away. These guys are true professionals. They came in, did a quick assessment, and then worked like a well-oiled machine for the next five hours. What impressed me most was their attention to the little things. They took the doors off my hinges to get the couch out, then put them right back on. They shrink-wrapped my upholstered furniture to protect against dirt and moisture. They used wardrobe boxes so my clothes stayed on hangers. Ray personally handled my home office equipment, double-boxing my monitors and printers. When they arrived at the destination in Columbus, OH, the unloading was just as meticulous. They placed every box in the room it was labeled for, reassembled all my bedroom furniture, and even helped me center my dining table under the light fixture. They hauled away all packing materials and left my new home spotless. Total cost was about $5,000, slightly under what two other companies quoted. No damage, no delays, no drama. Colonial Van Lines has earned a customer for life. Marcus King

Worth every penny

Had a complicated move with a storage unit stop in between. They coordinated everything perfectly. Not a single hiccup. This company clearly knows what they are doing.

The crew treated my belongings like their own

As a military family, we have moved eleven times in the last twenty years. Our recent move from Milwaukee, WI to Portland, OR with Colonial Van Lines was, hands down, the best moving experience we have ever had. Ray was our crew chief, and he ran the operation like a seasoned logistics officer. He arrived with a pre-loaded inventory sheet on a tablet, walked through our house room by room, and tagged every item with a numbered sticker. Every item was accounted for at pickup and at delivery — nothing was lost. The crew packed our kitchen with surgical precision. Every dish was wrapped individually, glasses went into cell boxes, and our cast iron cookware was stacked carefully. Ray personally handled my husband's gun safe — a 400-pound beast that most movers refuse to touch. He had the right equipment, took his time, and got it out without damaging a single door frame. The truck arrived in Portland, OR on the exact date promised, and the delivery crew worked with the same efficiency. The total cost was $4,800 for a full-service, four-bedroom move with packing included. If you are a military family looking for a mover who respects your belongings and your time, call Colonial Van Lines. Gabriela Hill

The gold standard for moving companies

Where do I even begin? Colonial Van Lines handled my move from Kansas City, MO to Seattle, WA and it was, without exaggeration, the smoothest moving experience of my life. I had been dreading this move for weeks — packing up a four-bedroom house with two kids and a dog felt impossible — but from the moment Paulie and his crew knocked on my door at 7:45 AM, all my anxiety melted away. These guys are true professionals. They came in, did a quick assessment, and then worked like a well-oiled machine for the next five hours. What impressed me most was their attention to the little things. They took the doors off my hinges to get the couch out, then put them right back on.

Would definitely recommend to friends and family

Very happy with how my move went with Colonial Van Lines. The crew was professional, efficient, and respectful of my home. They laid down floor protection and wore shoe covers, which I really appreciated. I am docking one star because the scheduling process was slightly confusing at first, but the office staff resolved it quickly and the actual move day was smooth. Tony was the crew lead and he was great — friendly, careful, and fast. My move from Raleigh, NC to Chicago, IL cost $2,500, which was fair. Good value for a quality service. Liam Richardson

These movers are the real deal

After being burned by a different moving company last year, I was extremely cautious about who I hired for my move from Denver, CO to Dallas, TX. I did extensive research, read dozens of reviews, and ultimately chose Colonial Van Lines based on their consistently high ratings and transparent pricing. That decision paid off in every possible way. The office staff was responsive from day one — they answered all my questions, provided a detailed binding estimate, and never pressured me into buying services I did not need. On moving day, Diego and his three-person team arrived at 8:30 AM and got straight to work. I was particularly impressed by how they handled my specialty items. I have a vintage pinball machine that weighs over 300 pounds, and Diego knew exactly how to secure it for transport. He used furniture sliders to get it out of my basement, wrapped it in multiple layers of moving blankets, and strapped it securely to the wall of the truck. They also took great care with my king-size bed frame, disassembling it carefully and bagging all the hardware. The drive to Dallas, TX took about a day and a half, and the driver checked in with me regularly. When they arrived, the unloading was just as careful. Total cost was $3,900, within $50 of the original estimate. This is what a professional moving experience should look like. Colonial Van Lines has restored my faith in moving companies. Ava Wright

Very happy with how everything turned out

Reliable service at a fair price from Colonial Van Lines. The crew was polite, worked hard, and finished faster than the estimated time. Communication from the office could have been a bit more responsive in the days leading up to the move, but on moving day everything went smoothly. Devon and his team were careful with all my items from Fort Worth, TX to Columbus, OH. All my items arrived safely and the crew was friendly throughout. The final price was $2,600. I would recommend Colonial Van Lines to anyone. Michael Thomas

Handled my entire home with precision and care

My family and I just completed our move from Austin, TX to El Paso, TX with Colonial Van Lines, and I felt compelled to write this review because the service was genuinely exceptional. Moving with three kids under the age of ten is chaotic enough, but the crew made the physical part of the move completely painless. Paulie was the crew lead, and he was fantastic with my kids — he cracked jokes, let them "help" carry light boxes, and kept the mood light. But these guys are serious professionals. They wrapped every piece of furniture in quilted moving blankets and secured them with stretch wrap. My leather sectional sofa came out without a single mark. They took apart my kids' bunk beds, labeled every piece, and reassembled them perfectly at the new house. The truck was loaded with incredible efficiency — Paulie told me he has been loading trucks for over ten years, and it showed. Delivery happened exactly when they said it would, and the crew in El Paso, TX was just as good. They worked around my toddler's nap schedule and even offered to help me set up my nursery furniture. The final bill was $4,300, exactly as quoted. Not one item was broken, scratched, or lost. If you want a moving company that treats your family and your belongings with genuine care, Colonial Van Lines is the one. Owen Ramirez

Outstanding service that blew me away

I am writing this review because I want everyone to know how incredible Colonial Van Lines is. My move from Colorado Springs, CO to Staten Island, NY was handled with a level of professionalism that I did not know existed in the moving industry. Carlos, the crew chief, called me the night before to confirm the arrival time and answer any last-minute questions. The team showed up at exactly 8 AM in a clean, well-maintained truck. They introduced themselves, shook my hand, and asked me to walk them through the house. I have a lot of fragile items — crystal vases, framed artwork, a grandfather clock — and Carlos assured me they would take extra care with each one. Every fragile item was individually wrapped in packing paper and then bubble-wrapped before being placed in a double-walled box. My grandfather clock was padded so heavily it looked like it was wearing a winter coat. The crew loaded my entire two-bedroom apartment in about three hours and did a final walkthrough. Delivery in Staten Island, NY happened two days later, right on schedule. The unloading crew was equally impressive — careful, respectful, and quick. They laid down runners on my hardwood floors and corner guards on the door frames. I inspected every item and found zero damage. The bill was exactly as quoted: $3,450, no hidden charges. I have already recommended Colonial Van Lines to three coworkers. Mason Ward

Simply the best in the business

My family and I just completed our move from Baltimore, MD to Louisville, KY with Colonial Van Lines, and I felt compelled to write this review because the service was genuinely exceptional. Moving with three kids under the age of ten is chaotic enough, but the crew made the physical part of the move completely painless. Sam was the crew lead, and he was fantastic with my kids — he cracked jokes, let them "help" carry light boxes, and kept the mood light. But these guys are serious professionals. They wrapped every piece of furniture in quilted moving blankets and secured them with stretch wrap. My leather sectional sofa came out without a single mark.
