   Perfect move.

   We moved from MD to CA and never used movers before and we were very scared to be taken advantage of or they wouldn't do their job properly. Contacted Nationwide Movers because of the high rating on the internetI wasn't disappointed Between Joseph  always answering my questions quickly and without hesitation to the actual move it was a good  experience He did go  over our items to be Move. While they came early, the guys   did a great job and even gave us our wardrobe boxes early which helped A LOT! They moved very quickly and efficiently. They handled all the items with care. We had to leave early to go to CA to sign our new lease, so my parents stayed with the movers until they finished. I just want to thank Nationwide Movers for providing a good moving experience.

   WORST EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE. B E W A R E ! ! !

   I would give no stars if possible. I contracted a 2,000 mile move with Nationwide only to be sub-contracted to a less-than-reputable company (COBRA). They showed up 24 hours late in a Penske rental truck. The “lead” reassessed my house contents and said Nationwide made an error. The estimate is now TRIPLE what Nationwide quoted, and they would not accept a cashier’s or bank check for the additional $5K to the deposit. Only cash or Money Orders. Trying to call Nationwide, I dealt with “assistants” only. I tried to speak with a Manager at Nationwide, but the driver said he was not a very nice man, and that I wouldn’t want to deal with him. I sent the men, woman and truck on their way. I refused their service. I finally spoke with the “Dispatch Manager”, and he promised to send a different crew, a different company, with a different truck. THE EXACT SAME CREW AND TRUCK SHOWED UP AGAIN. I again told them I was not going to use their service. I went with another company and attempted to get my $4,100 deposit back from Nationwide. I was offered ½ refund. I had the bank withhold the $4100. And they did an investigation. Unfortunately for me, they ruled in favor of Nationwide. Nationwide lied in their statement saying, “she contracted for and USED the service”. I did not use their service. When I asked for the ½ refund, I was told because I challenged them, they reneged on that too. I cancelled the contract after the date in the contract, but since they were 24 hours late and tripled my estimate, they breached the contract, so I felt I was right. I’m a senior citizen, on a fixed income, single female who was taken advantage of by Nationwide. I lost $4,100 that I could not afford to lose, and I found dealing with the "Dispatch Manager", who is a grouchy, condescending crook who makes lots of money for his company taking advantage of people when they are most vulnerable, was a lost cause. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!! THEY WILL RIP YOU OFF!!!

   Moving from Utah to Texas.

   This is the worse experience I have ever had moving. I paid about 17,000.00 and what i got was worthless. I had furniture I had to replace because the doors on my hutch for my desk no longer close. I have tools that were stolen from our packed totes. Important and sensitive information packed in boxes and sealed where not delivered. We are missing probably 20 boxes. The totes and boxes were delivered smashed and busted the totes. Broke our lamps, scratched our furniture, broke legs on our couch so we had to replace it. I was assured everything would be wrapped and stored if needed. It was stored for what would have been 4 days and we finally got our stuff the following week. Broken and mangled. Prepare to have to spend another 10 to 20,000 when you get your stuff. It would have been less headache and probably my stuff would have been usable. Thanks For the crappy job. Beware. they must have figured I was elderly so they could take me and that they did. The vehicles they moved was anotherstory and at an additional cost,but they were delivered on time and in good condition. That was all that was good about the move. I will advertise to my friends and relatives and have them warn people not to use this company to move. WORSE COMPANY EVER.

   Non-reliable and unprofessional moving from TX to FL

   Nationwide did not advise it is a broker. Was very diligent to book and provide estimate. Once I had to work with intermediary everything was difficult and disorganized pick up and delivery dates were changed last minute and they were unprepared. Nationwide did not help at all when the intermediary would not answer. Very disappointing, I did hire this company because reviews at https://www.top10.com/moving/long_distance were quite good but the experience has been unprofessional, dissapointing and costly and I do not recommend using them for moving services.

   Moving from Minnesota to Florida

   Don’t use Nationwide! They sub out the moving job to other carriers and after that you deal with that carrier. Nationwide didn’t inform us of that and we ended up with Carefree Movers Inc. out of Iowa. They are rated F by the better Business Bureau. We didn’t get our belongings for 5 weeks. We had many lost and damaged items. It was extremely expensive and they don’t answer calls. They don’t care. Our lawnmower was tipped sideways and oil and gas leaked out all over my glider rocker cushion. Can’t be cleaned. The lawnmower had to be repaired because of this and we had to pay $100. They lost parts to the pressure washer, broke casters of 2 tv stands, a bed frame and a suitcase. Broke 3 floor lamps. We even got a backpack that belonged to some else. We we missing many items. Who knows where they are. Our copier/ printer came smashed. We had to buy a new one. I can’t even list it all. There’s too much! Our stuff was loaded and unloaded to several different trucks and stored in warehouses. We are totally out. Carefree Movers told us to file an online claim to movingclaims.net. What a joke that is. Impossible to file with the ridiculous information they want. We are in the process of filling a claim with the Florida attorney general. Again, DON’T USE NATIONWIDE MOVER OR CAREFREE MOVERS INC! THEY WILL RIP YOU OFF AND THEY DONT CARE!

   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.

   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!!!

   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.

    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.
