Budget Van Lines? Any feedback? (moving company, job, North American, Allied)

[littlepryllis]

I am about to move from SC to Arizona I got a great quote from Budget Van Lines but I was wondering if anyone has any experience with the company. They seem to be professional and I checked them on the BBB all seems fine, but i was wondering if anybody has first hand experience.
Thanks.

They are actually pretty good from what I heard by people in my office. Check out the following link http://www.city-data.com/forum/gener...van-lines.html

Having moved many, many times, I know the huge importance of a moving company that is bonded, insured, reputable, and driven by a long history of satisfactory business.

My goals are always to: 1) get all my stuff at the end of the line, with no ransoms to pay; and 2) get all my stuff at the end of the line, without anything destroyed or "disappeared". So I always choose one of the big 5 that have been in business for over 50 years with the Better Business Bureau and state Dept. of Transportation history to support their excellent reputations: Allied, Atlas, Mayflower, North American, and United. I believe they all have "Van Lines" in their names.

These threads might be useful to you. Have a great move with a reliable, trustworthy mover!

I would recommend Budget Van Lines! I was in a real jam-I had contracted with a carrier who called me the day before I was supposed to move to Los Angeles and told me that they weren’t going to be able to do the pickup. I called Budget and spoke with one of their reps-he was very detailed and thorough, and was able to find a carrier to do the job for me at the last minute at a price that was less than the one that I was quoted by the original mover! The movers they found for me were on time, professional, and experienced (one of them didn’t smell so great, but if that is the only thing I have to complain about I feel like I got lucky!). I would definitely use them again…

I wanted to thank you all for your feedback about Budget Van Lines. The move went smooth and I was very happy with the movers. I am finally settled here now and I love the weather here in Phoenix!!
