The guys who came to help were exceptional. They were kind and professional and capable. They made the experience very pleasant and easy. They went above and beyond to help assist me and I highly recommend them.

There entire team was professional with communication with me with updates almost every day from packing and pickup to delivery. Delivery team were courteous and set everything in place after assembling. Very happy with entire experience!

We moved from Indiana to Alabama. Colonial was on time and did a great job. They handled our possessions with care. The experience overall was very good. I would use them again.

I was not provided copies of all of the paperwork signed after the movers left. Some items were not delivered. The driver of the delivery truck was using a key to remove packing tape from my glass dining table top. He left with the Swiss Army knife I lent him and nobody can seem to locate him. Boxes marked “fragile” were placed upside down and underneath heavier boxes and bins. I also asked if they had closed up and returned the freight elevator to automatic function when the key was returned and the driver/mover told me yes. Upon checking, I noticed that the elevator was still in manual mode (so others in my building were unable to access it after the move was complete), and the elevator door to garage/parking area was left wide open. I did not expect that they would have to return everything to previous status, but I would have appreciated knowing everything was left open (it’s a good thing I checked). I do not plan to use Colonial Can Lines again - particularly if there is risk of subcontracting with Father and Sons for a future move. I do not recommend either at this time.

Colonial well surpassed my expectations. There was some damage, but when they found the fire items that were not delivered I was thrilled. Every one we worked with was friendly and helpful. We are all human and can make mistakes. They had their money. They could have forgotten about me, but they didn't. Thank you so much!!!!

Moving an office from MA to NY and not having the new office available for a number of months is no easy feet. Colonial made the moving and storage process very easy. Their movers were very professional and communicative. Colonial accommodated our ever changing delivery date. We are finally in our new space and very happy with the service we received.

This was our first professional move. Colonial Van Lines is very good a communicating each step of the process. It was a long distance move and weather was not a friend. There were a few glitches along the way but they were addressed in a professional and timely manner. Overall we’re were very satisfied with the process.

The workers were top notch, they were so careful, knew what they were doing, and super organized. Their organization of the move was amazing. The communication, both email and by phone, was on a daily basis from the time we hired the company to the conclusion, making sure we knew what to do, what to expect, and the timeline.

They followed through with everything they said they would. Staff were all pleasant and helpful.

Premove calls confirming move details made us feel secure in our choice of companies.
We were not let down. Our movers were timely, moved confidently and quickly and were observent of all details.Upon arrival at new addresses(move included 2 drop off points) They quickly and carefully unloaded. Thank you. Have spread the word to all and wouldn't hesitate

The overall experience was very positive. Every associate that helped along our move was professional, knowledgeable, and thoughtful - 5 stars across the board for them! Colonial wasn't the cheapest, nor the most expensive, quote we received but the services provided and the professionalism by everyone made them the clear choice. I only dropped 1 star as the cost did go up from the quote, which was a combination of adding things as we had a clearer picture of what we wanted to pack vs them and the weight/cube being higher than estimated. Still, good value for the cost. The movers themselves, a 3rd party crew, were also very polite, effective, and quick!

The delivery men showed up when they said they would. They were very professional and polite. They started unloading my items that they had. They had all my things in the shed quickly and without any problems.
They are great movers. I would recommend them to others.

Reply from Colonial Van Lines
This company movers asked questions
on both ends instead of just placing goods down.
They disposed of packaging where possible.
I have moved 18 times and they were
the best

I would like to give a much better review for this move because when I used Colonial a couple of years ago everything went well. This time there was a major problem with the delivery. My move was from Tennessee to Florida but I couldn't make the trip to arrive at my destination before the truck did so I had to contact a friend to meet the driver to move my household goods to a storage unit. When the driver arrived he told my friend that he had arranged for help in unloading but the guy(s) never showed up and he asked my friend to help unload the truck. My friend is an older somewhat handicapped person so he called his son to come and help unload the truck. I have since found out that this was unauthorized and the driver should never have done that. My friend and his son received no compensation from the driver who said he didn't have any cash money to pay them. My household goods were so poorly stacked in the climate controlled storage unit with very heavy boxes stacked on top of lighter ones that collapsed and fell against the door which made it almost impossible to open the door later on. I am a 83 year old woman and now it looks like I will have to hire someone to restack everything in better order to avoid further damage. Needless to say this has been a very stressful move for me.

Packing men at pickup were highly professional,
Efficient, polite hard working and concerned with their work. Upon delivery, different crew were of utmost pleasure to have in our new home.
They were very friendly and skilled in handling all our needs. I highly recommend this company.

I had a very complicated move in a very short amount of time., over the holidays. Chad arranged everything seamlessly including 3rd party vendors to dismantle and reassemble hard to move items. Alawana kept me up to dare through every step. The pricing was clear and fair. Every one involved was so professional. There was no problem with pick up or drop off. We couldn’t be happier with the service.

Phone representative really sold me on the company. She was polite and patient and stayed in contact throughout the process. Movers were on time, friendly, and efficient.

Reply from Colonial Van Lines
The movers showed up and took great care with wrapping up all my furniture. They kept me advised of any concerns they had. The unwrapping and reassembly went well also.
