Verified Reviewer New ReviewerThings broken in the move. I am handicapped so I paid them to unpack
Explore video interviews
I sent this today. It is my third attempt April 21, 2020 I was told me that you would get back to me regarding the mess that was left when I paid $1,000 to have your men unpack. To date, I have not heard from you. Here are some pictures and other evidence. 1. I paid them to unpack and this is what I got (ENTITLED MESS IN LIVING ROOM 2. The scooter was thrown on top of the things in the cage. I attach a letter from the maintenance man. The first letter was from somebody who knew nothing about maintenance. Note the battery was in the living room and not even with the scooter. It was shoved in my wheel chair. The scooter was upside down on one of my chairs in the cage. Unfortunately, there is not a clear picture of what they did. It is broken in that picture as you can that the scooter is broker. I had to leave it behind because the maintenance man could not make it work. HIs note is attached. 3. Furniture before before North American Van Lines picked up my furniture. It was like new. 4. Bookcase with lights working before I left. That was broken in shipping. 5. Waste Basket is just a small sample of how things arrived in Texas. 6. I have called Temperpedic, changed the batteries and gone through the steps and the frame is broken. Attached please find the receipt for the bed and a letter from my housekeeper who helped me prepare for the move. I also include a letter from Marilyn Bettis who saw the driver struggle with the extra long twin size mattress and threw it into the street. Thus I had to sleep in a recliner the entire time I was there. Margie Lothamer asked if I can see any dirt on the mattress. I find that incredibly insulting. I have to sleep at zero gravity because I'm handicapped. Why on earth would I take a broken bed with me and who would sleep on a mattress that was not wrapped when moved and then thrown into the street. 7. Living room before I left. Both of these recliners were broken in the move. 8. The Massage chair does not work properly. Attached is a letter from somebody who used it before I left. 9. Please note how the fireplace/bookcase was placed in the apartment. I could not walk into the room with support and I could not use my wheel chair in that room or it would make it worse. I am Filing a complaint with the National Consumer Complaint Data base and other ways to file a complaint. Thus, I'm giving you another chance to make this right. I think it is outrageous that even though I've sent you proof you want me to put out additional money for an arbitrator. I have posted the pictures to yelp.

Lost the battle. The "ESTIMATE" was binding. The representative never informed me that I had a choice between binding and nonbinding..
Original review posted by user Oct 14, 2021
Overcharged; significant error in estimate (25%) vrs actual. No adjustment for "overcharge". No followup from corporate customer service. User's recommendation: Do not agree to the "estimate". Deduct/holdback at least 25%.

If I could give a -50 rating I would. I am in my 60's, and this is by far the worst company I have ever worked with. They are disorganized, rude, slow and full of excuses. I moved from across the country, and the day before my stuff was supposed to arrive I had to call...

The pictures tell the story. I had a woman who saw the drive take my bed and push it out the door into the street.
The bed broke and I am handicapped and had t sleep in a recliner. Even though I had many letters to prove my claim it was denied.

If Jay Pratt 718-...-....is your American van lines driver
Horrible experience with North American Van Lines. Paid them $23,000 to move from Boise, Idaho to New Orleans, La. Items were stolen!!!!and horribly damaged. They told us please wait to file claim we are putting tracer on those items....GUESS WHAT????? now they are saying because we didn't file immediately we must have the items and just trying to scam!!!! Driver didn't have his paper work filled out and NOW says we refused to sign.. I have never seen such an unprofessional company!! Law suit being filed in federal court since it was across state lines. SO much time and energy...but I feel these thieves should not get away with this horrific event

I used North American for a move to California in 2015. The agent was great and the move was great. So when I decided to move again I didn't consider anyone else. However, my experience this time was as different as night and day. The movers were late, and they did not...

Will never ever again use North American van lines
North American Van Lines has become a political operation opposing the NRA. As a proud NRA lifetime member, my family and I will never again. Use North American Airlines. They have the right to be a political operation. I have the right to take my business elsewhere and advise all my friends and relatives to do the same.

There is a good example of why I dump as much as possible every time I move. Lots of things cost more to move than they are worth and quite a bit is not worth hauling along just on logistics alone.
It's all in the packaging. Anything can survive anything short of flood, fire, famine, or war if it's packaged properly.
Anything I intended to move or ship would be packed and protected my way. I have decades of experience in both work and private life with shipping delicate objects (and many decidedly robust objects) to 47 states and have suffered packages damaged from mishandling or by water but not the goods within. Whomever prepared your goods for shipment dropped the ball, and by way of management and oversight that someone was yourself. You or your representative on site should not have permitted anything to to pass the door without proper inspection.
Your complaint then lacks substance and specifics. Letters from third parties are not admissible as evidence.
Where were you before, during and after and exactly what cash value of damage was incurred? You will prove this how?
You have to tell people what is acceptable and what is not. That is a shame , you would think movers would know how to move but they don't seem to care or understand or something. The OP didn't mention if packaging and setup were supposed to be included in the deal, so from that I'm sorry for her but it does seem she didn't pay attention until it was too late.
It looks like she thought it would be all set up nicely and arranged to taste, but moving companies generally dump your stuff and say "here you go pal". At least the stuff that shows up and is still usable.
