Cross country move
The Budd van lines team was amazing! We moved cross country from NJ to CA during the pandemic. The team communicated well showed up early both days and took the utmost care in packing and shipping our items. We received everything intact and was u pickled professionally as well! Highly recommend them for a corporate relocation!

Easy first move
I recently moved into my first apartment and Budds made it super easy. I didn’t have to worry about a thing. Cindy specifically made sure to walk me through what to expect and calmed any qualms. 10/10 recommend for all your needs.

THE BIG MOVE - Amazing Experience
Facing 99 degree heat and horrible humidity, our two Budd Van Lines movers were amazingly professional, friendly and organized. In under three hours, our movers (Mr. Curtis Archer and Mr. Albert Kullman) did the packing and loading that would have taken seven or eight people a half a day to complete. I was impressed beyond expectations. Simply an awesome experience. Let's face it, to the average person moving sucks! Usually when an task such moving is complete, I think "Thank God that's over". In this case I thought "Thank God for Budd".
Response from Budd Van Lines
Hi Howard, Thank you for sharing your positive moving experience with us! We are pleased to hear that Curtis and Albert did an outstanding job helping you move. We hope you are settling nicely into your new home in San Diego. Thank you again for this 5 start review! - Budd Van Lines

Excellent!
Every aspect of this move was AMAZING! We felt taken care of as well as our items. Eric our driver was personable, friendly, and professional. Alicia was the same. When you are moving, and there are a lot of variables, it is nice to know that your move is taken care of.”.

Most amazing movers ever
Marco and his crew arrived exactly on time to our home in Sparta NJ, took magnificent care of our possessions and were friendly and respectful. Could not have hoped for better. Only hope that we get them to deliver them back in North Carolina.
Response from Budd Van Lines
Hi James, Thank you so much for your positive feedback! We’re delighted to hear that Marco and his team were able to provide you with such excellent service. We will be sure to notify them about their well deserved recognition. Thank you again for your feedback. From, Budd Van Lines

Zero stars-terrible
This company is terrible. I've been relocated several times now and this company is awful. They breached our contract by not finishing the pack on time which did not work for our family as we had to leave and had no one to oversee the final pack. They never gave us the packing list (as required by federal law) and eventually sent it by email and it was completely illegible. They packers left trash and dirt everywhere and they were all sick so we asked them to use only one restroom and they used them all (and left evidence-gross) and broke a toilet upstairs and didn't tell us (which affected our sale). A ton of things were broken and they won't stand behind the very expensive insurance my company paid for them to make it right. They refuse to do anything. Do NOT Use this company.

Trash
Budd Van Lines dumped all their trash all over the top of a trash container on my property. Boxes, packing paper, cut cardboard etc blowing all over the place. Into an Amazon parking lot, in the woods across the street, and all over out property. We contacted Budd Van Lines and received no correspondence. As much as the charge, they should pay for their trash to be discarded . I have too now.

Won't give you straight answers, until after the fact.
I used Budd Van Lines as art of a relocation move out of state, and I must say that was the hardest and most confusing move I had ever made. I have moved several times in my life, but this one was by far the most difficult, and expensive. I packed almost everything myself, as I was asked to as part of my relocation plan. This upset them -- the movers were furious. They wanted to charge custom crating charges from third parties for anything they deemed "unusual", like 40" TV's or pictures. So, I ended up taking all this "unusual" stuff in my truck to sit in my parents garage for 90 days. Their third party people had to disconnect my appliances, so they could be tested. They charged me to disconnect my refrigerator I had been using, only to tell me that it did not work perfectly, and therefore they would not move it, as they could not be responsible. So, basically I paid them to disconnect my fridge and tell me it was broken -- go get rid of it now, on moving day!! They took everything I had packed out of boxes and wrapped it in paper -- most times for no good reason -- just to make thing bulkier. To that end, they said I had 29,500 pounds of stuff -- after they packed everything. This was just shy of the maximum allowed to transport, per policy. I asked them for bills of lading to prove this, which they refused. I have a 3 bedroom house, so this weight is just not even close. I asked for storage estimates weeks ahead of and weeks after they packed my stuff. They gave me a "quote" after the first 30 days had expired -- $88.00 per day for storage. In itself, this sounds high, but they took over 45 days to schedule delivery. Their excuse was they needed at least 30 days to schedule delivery, but were having trouble meeting this. In other words, I was paying all of this money just for storage ($5800 to be exact), because they could not schedule our delivery on time. I was paying for their unability to commit to my move. Ridiculous!! I hope somebody reads this and understand what I am saying. I could have paid for a cross country move on just the "storage" fees. If you ever move with Budd -- don't let them move a single box until you get everything, I mean everything in writing. Better yet, don't do it. Hire somebody else.

Poor Service, Damaged Items.
We had to use Budd Van Lines for an interstate relocation for work as that was the moving company chosen by our relocation coordinator. They movers were nice and friendly on the pickup phase of the move, but careless on the delivery side. Once the move was made and they were paid, they ignore you for any insurance claims request of damaged products related to the move. They basically just ignore you for 90 days after your move, and then say your window for filing a claim is over. Don’t believe when they say your stuff is insured, because they will just ignore your claims request. If you can use an alternative company for your corporate move, do so because Budd Van Lines is a joke.
