Worldwide Van Lines Llc

It's been two weeks since I moved into my new condo and I'm taking the time now to thank the wonderful team and employees of World Wide Van Lines who made this big step in my life so pleasant and easy. This team came in with a smile, explained every little thing they were going to do and once everything was completed they left the apartment clean and set up as if I lived there for a while. The whole process with World Wide was great, the salesperson was very informative and led me through providing inventory list making sure I don't forget anything , in order to guarantee me the price. I expected some additional charges, but there were NONE to my surprise! I will definitely use this company again. \r \r more

I'm a person with a very poor income and i needed movers that could move me for a reasonable price. I have heard and read many stories about movers cheating and stealing the customers stuff. So in all truth i was very nervous about moving with any random moving company. Until my best friend Jill recommended me World Wide Van Lines. So i thought I'd give them a try, and i didn't regret it. The salesperson was very understanding and sounded professional. He explained everything thoroughly to me and told me step-by-step about my upcoming move. On the day of the move they came on time and did everything on high class. The move took two and a half hours to load and at delivery even less time very impressive to me and i only paid $1026 for everything!! I'm a happy, satisfied, and a honored customer. If you need a professional, low-budget move then defiantly call world wide van lines. \r Happy customer, Randy :)\r more

I was very frustrated with the service I was receiving from other movers. I had to cancel with two non-cooperating shippers. Finally, I got a recommendation from a friend who used there service so I called World Wide Van Lines and I am glad I did. Well, let me tell you this. If you don't use them, you made a mistake. You've heard all of the horror stories about other movers. Vague pickup/delivery windows, contact issues, hidden charges. Let me tell you about my experience with World Wide. I had tried two other companies first and got jerked around. That's when I went looking here and elsewhere for advice. The service provided by this company is far better then I received in the past and I have moved around a lot being in the military. Comparatively they are not the cheapest company out there but when you are moving your worldly positions you don more

I called World Wide van lines (somebody was actually there) with an emergency move. The movers I originally contracted never showed and called to inform us they were not showing so after going through some of my old emails and calling every one of them I finally got one of the old moving companies on the phone. The rep was there and said he was there returning some calls told me he could have us picked up with such short notice so I reserved because I had no other choice but to give it a shot . The driver showed up on time and had our stuff loaded on the truck and was off. We followed the truck to the weigh station and it was delivered seven days later (they promised to get it delivered within 7 to 14 days). Everything was above satisfactory nothing was broken and the price was under the quote. They really did come through and we owe them a lot. We highly recommend them and would use them again. more

I was surprised with how easy my move went. A professional from World Wide Van Lines spoke to me about our move from California to Texas. They took care of all the changes that we did during that time. The gentlemen from the moving company that moved us were professional and fast. They worked hard, loaded everything on the semi that delivered in Texas within 6 days more

All I can say is if you are thinking to move, this is the company for you! My move from Alabama to Kansas just took place a few weeks ago and my family used World Wide Van Lines to relocate us. Our move went extremely smooth and everything was handled with professionalism along every step of the way from the sales to the dispatch to the customer service to the pick up and finally to the delivery.. The customer service of World Wide Van Lines handled our move and was very patient and kind when handling our questions. they reassured us about concerns we had since moving is such a stressful time in anyone`s life. We had contacted many other companies and received estimates, but after finding World Wide my wife and I both felt this was the best choice for our family move. The cost of my move wasn't the cheapest or the most expensive, but you are paying for a flawless move with excellent service which is hard to find in the moving business we have all heard the harror stories but World Wide came through like a champ. Thanks again World Wide. more

Our second move was a great. Previous moves were paid for by the company my husband worked for, so all the packing, moving, and unpacking was paid for. We packed our own small items and moved them into the garage. We had two weeks to do this before the World Wide Van Lines truck came to our house to load the large furniture and heavy items. Moving day was finally. We asked for three people to do the work. One decided what to move first. Another helped him take it out to the truck and the third one placed the items on the truck and carefully padded each piece of furniture with heavy pads. We found that if two people come with the truck, there is a lot of wasted time while one person protects the furniture and the other one waits until the second man can help move the furniture. At our present home, the walks were wet and dirty from the winter thaw. The many trees on the property added to the debris on the driveway and walks. Without asking, the movers laid protective rugs and cloths over the floors of the house so that they would not track dirt and moisture inside. They were very careful with all the breakables such as mirrors, glass table tops, and marble table inserts that they took out and moved separately. They did not put scratches on any of the wood surfaces and not one item was damaged in any way. After the move, which is still a chore, we wrote the company a letter thanking them for the wonderful job they did. We would recommend this company to anyone. The cost was reasonable and they showed up on time. They were very pleasant to work with and followed our suggestions on furniture placement. The customer service department was also very helpful with the entire move we always were in the loop as to what was going on, very happy and satisfied. more

I had a good experience dealing with World Wide Van Lines. After going through the worst ordeal with an auto shipping company I was very nervous to ship my household items. From my initial email contact with World Wide to the day my stuff got delivered I felt as though I was in good hands. My emails were always answered promptly, their phones were always answered and everyone I dealt with from the sales rep, to operations person, credit department and movers provided great customer service. My move was over estimated so I was very happy when my move from MI to AZ only ended up being $1900. My items were picked up and delivered in the time-frame I requested and I was very pleased overall. An important thing to remember is a lot of big moving companies have agents throughout the states so my best recommendation is to deal directly with the van line company if you can, more than likely you will recieve better service and be in direct contact with people from the headquarters office. Had I dealt with the agent in AZ I understand I may not have had as good of an experience as I did. The closer you can get to dealing with the van line the better. I would definitley recommend World Wide Van Lines to anyone looking for a moving company.\r more

Hi there; just wanted to share a (mostly) positive experience I just had with the moving company, World Wide Van Lines. My wife & I moved from Nashville to Little Rock; we worked through World Wide Van Lines, after comparing them to Atlas & Stevens Van Lines. All three quoted very similar prices. We were moving 6,915 pounds of stuff, which included a glass coffee table, lots of electronics and a Honda Civic. I asked for a not to exceed price, and was quoted $3900.00; after doing my homework here, I got them to agree to and sign a paper guaranteeing no shuttle fee on the loading end of the trip (as I didn't think it was necessary; they ended up using a shuttle, but not charging me). Turns out a not to exceed price is different than a not to exceed or less our price was guaranteed, and they don't even bother weighing the truck. That's fine with me, but the vocabulary is a little confusing. The packers were very courteous, quick and efficient. They showed up on time, asked permission to open doors, use the bathroom, get water, etc. They packed our entire house in less than four hours. The shippers came the next day; they were about one hour later than the expected time, but called to say they were going to be late. Again, they were very courteous and efficient. Our glass table was crated up by a third party company (amazing - they build a full-fledged crate out of 2x4s in the driveway). Little Rock, our shipment was scheduled for a three day window; it showed up on the first day. The driver got his 18 wheeler down an absurdly thin, southern street, and so no shuttle charge on this end either (although i bet the neighbors were mad) .. The crew on this end was extremely exhausted, having just moved someone in at Jacksonville, driven for a few hours, and then was going to Atlanta after our stop. But again, they were courteous. As our boxes began showing up, we scrambled to keep tally on the inventory list; it's hard to keep up with them, but we managed. In the end, one lamp (about a hundred bucks) was snapped in half, and the driver was VERY apologetic about it; a few wine glasses were shattered, and .. eek .. three boxes were missing. Turns out the three boxes were lost. World Wide. The boxes, on the other hand, are missing in action :( But fully insured, and a claim is in process, and our representative is very good about following up with us about the status. So, overall, I give World Wide a B+ .. Everyone was NOT out to screw us; - in fact, everyone was very professional. The lost items are disappointing but replaceable, My advice, other than what everyone has already posted here (such as videotaping your move, ensuring a visual weight based quote, etc) - get a few friends together for move in day to help checking boxes off the list! They move so quick, its hard to keep up, and in the end, its a reaaal pain to figure out what is really missing. But through it all we were pleased and ready to start our new life here. more

I decided to spend a little extra money and go with a big name mover. I called world wide van lines. Lance, a salesperson from world wide van lines called me back and after our discussion, sent me an estimate for 2000lbs and one for 3000lbs (I thought I'd be somewhere between the two). His rates for the move were great, compared to the other big namers (United, Atlas) I've spoken with so far. He was also able to send me a truck asap, since I called him on Jan 14th and was leaving by jan 24th. Lance was great, very friendly and accommodating. I felt very comfortable speaking with him unlike some of these folks I've spoken with recently. He passed me over to Kevin, an operations manager, who was also great and was very professional. I checked out world wide via the internet, and they have been around for 10+ years and had minimal complaints listed on BBB and FMCSA. So, my stuff made it to my new house on time and undamaged! A few boxes/containers had some corners/sides bent in a bit, but I boxed my fragile stuff smartly with lots of blankets inside the boxes or containers. This moving company was great. Bill was the driver/boss and was excellent. They were all very professional, took great care of all my stuff (wrapped, padded, etc), and worked fast. I highly recommend world wide van lines. They really know how to make a customer feel important. more

I recently completed a cross country move (Boston to Portland) and used World Wide Van Lines. I had gotten quotes from 2 of the other large companies and the World Wide Quote was the least expensive. I got them to give me a guaranteed not to exceed quote which saved me hundreds of dollars in the end because they underestimated the weight of my shipment. But to make a long story short, I was VERY pleased. They were very responsive and very understanding of my paranoia. (I actually began to weigh each box myself on my bathroom scale to make sure that I wasn't getting cheated). The packers were phenomenal and the men who delivered my items in Oregan were also phenomenal. I have unpacked about half of my items (most of my fragile items have been unpacked) and everything is in the same condition in which I shipped it. I must say that I am a bit neurotic and I packed everything myself (very well!). But, they charged me what they quoted me. My stuff was picked up and delivered on time (actually, the moving guys were about 1.5 hours late on pick up--but quickly made up for their tardiness). I was very pleased. I was so skeptical after reading so many reviews of moving companies--but I must say that World Wide Van Lines truly made this process bearable (and even pleasant). I want to give a special thanks to the customer service department which really made me feel inportant giving me the attention I deserved when I called. Thank you World Wide Van Lines! more

We moved from TX to MN in the sprint of 2011 with World Wide Van Lines. Everything went really well. The movers we met were very nice and quite personable. We packed everything ourselves. So we hired them mainly to move the boxes. Everything went great. They picked up all our stuff on time, and delivered on time. Nothing was broken nor missing. We were really happy with their services. We also got some free used-boxes from them for our own packing, so it was pretty good. Furthermore, their price was quite competitive. We did look into renting a truck and hire separate movers to move the boxes in-and-out of the truck. But after doing a comparison, we went with the full moving service from World Wide Van Lines. Their price is more expensive, but it saved us some trouble from doing the move ourselves, and it was worth it. My company also used world wide van lines for some move jobs in the past, and they are also pretty happy with there servicel all in all everything was done right from start to finish I escecially wanted to thank wendy and marie for providing me with great customer service that aspect of business is it seems dying as companys get bigger and more careless for there customers thank you world wide. more

We used World Wide Van LInes to move from Kansas City, Kansas to Troy , Michigan in November. The sales person phindy was great very polite and knowledgeable. The packers arrived the day before the movers, and they were very polite and courteous. They packed with amazing efficiency, and were very careful with our belongings. They packed our stuff into very sturdy boxes, and took extra care to make sure none of our things were broken. They did a great job. We definetly could not have done such a professional job ourselvs. The movers were the best part of our move by far. They were 2 father/son teams, and another gentleman who loaded and moved our belongings. First off, they came in and protected our floors, walls, and even put down carpet protector throughout most of the home needless to say I was very impressd. Once they were finished protecting the home, the loading of our stuff they did take there time which was fine for me I did not want them to rush and risk damaging my things. The attempts I made to reach customer service were easy they picked up the phone and answered my questions everytime. The delivery was just as flawless as the pickup was no complaints from my end they were a little slow but that was for my benefit I would use them again in the future although I don't plan on moving again anytime soon thank you World Wide. more

Very happy with the service, the movers were really easy to work with. We downsized homes to move out of state and still had too much stuff but they worked with me getting everything into the new house. They did not complain when I asked them to move a few things around to make it fit better. We did get a lot of snow the day of the move and I thought about changing dates but they said that I needed to keep the date I had set up because they had another house to move the next day which was ok since we didn't want to make anyone late because of us. The driver was the same but the men that loaded were different then people that delivered into the new home. We had only moved in state before so I did not expect this but it worked out fine. I would say that we are happy with the way that everything turned out. I will recommend world wide van lines in the future as far as moves go this was very stress and hassle free. There whole team form start to finish was fantastic no question an A+ organization. more

The best move in my life started with David, who was polite, knowledgeable, explained everything in detail and followed the move from start to finish, coordinator par excellence. The key to the moving process was Terrance , the Driver. He made the entire experience of moving from SC to MN a dream - superb truck packer, organizer, excellent to work with, couldn't do enough to ensure our comfort. The crews at both ends were more than competent - they listened, they cared about our things, they were neat and smooth - no wasted time or motion. We had almost seven tons of stuff. Move out, from a ranch with a 270' long carry took less than six hours. Move in, to a two level townhome, with everything in the correct room, and correctly placed heavy boxes were placed under light boxes so nothing was crushed; everything one might possibly hope for occurred. A dream of a move from start to finish - and, before I forget, the actual invoice was 10% less than the estimate. Thank you world wide !! more

We selected World Wide Van Lines as one of three moving companies to quote our move from Iowa to Ohio and they were the least expensive of the three quotes by a minimum of $1000.00. This is the second tiem we have used there services we also had a very pleasant experience when they moved us to our home 5 years ago. World Wide Van Lines were professional and courteous in every regard from the original quote for our 2300 square foot, four bedroom home plus garage, follow up quotation, delivery of moving supplies, packing and delivery. Moving began promptly at 8:30 AM and the care and packing of special items was expertly done with deliberate care and efficiency with a completion time of four hours. Delivery was scheduled for the next morning in our new home in Ohio at 9:00 AM and they arrived promptly on time. The delivery went very well considering we moved into a 900 square foot home with two bedrooms and no garage. After all items were moved in we again were very satisfied with World Wide Van Lines and the exceptional service they gave more

I just had a very good moving experience and I wanted to share it. my rep steve was great he really made me feel comfortable and secure. I was a little hesitant about using a moving service but but after speaking with steve which ashured me that my move would go well (and it did) luckely it worked out great for me thank you world wide van lines. For a guy who does not trust anyone I would trust this compnay to move me again that's how good the service was for me. more

After the experience we had with world wide van lines I would NEVER move by myself again! We have used the U-Haul method about seven times prior to this move and it is just SOOOOO stressful and a big pain!! World wide van lines came in and took care of everything all we really did was direct them and they did the rest. From strat to finish every thing was done to our satisfaction.Even though the price of this move was $7200, it was WELL WORTH IT!! I had relatively little stress and did not have to pack anything I did not want to. My husband did not have a sore back from lifting 2800 square feet of boxes and furniture, and we did not have to impose on friends and family to help us! It was all done for us! I would recommend World Wide Van Lines to ANYONE!!! more

I cant speak for anyone other than myself but what I can say is that our move was flawless in almost every sense. The World Wide staff was very knowledgeable with us and all our questions before the move took place. The only issue we had was the amount of days it took to deliver but we were told beforehand that it could be up to 14 days going cross country. It actually took 12 days which was a little longer than we hoped for but everything else was great. Bill and Andy were great guys and very friendly and I cannot say enough about the way they handled our belongings. When we were delivered they were great on that end too. I would use this company again and hope that others using world wide van lines recieve the same move we did if only in a shorter delivery time. Good luck with your move. more

Before I begin my review on World Wide Van Lines, let me say that a move is only as good as the driver that picks up your furniture. We have moved many times, as my husband is retired from the military, and frankly the name on the moving van does not mean a whole lot in terms of quality. Again, it is the driver and his degree of superiority or lack of, that will determine if your move is satisfactory! Two years ago when we were planning our move from Idaho to Missouri, I had three agents come out and give me a bid to move approximately 18,000 pounds of household goods. There were three very different prices, and we did settle on the low one, as there was a range of $3,000 between estimates. Basically the services were all the same, and yes, there was the agent sitting with his high bid, and telling me all the horror stories of moving. Of course, that was to frighten us so that we would pick the van lines that he represented. He was blowing in the wind as far as I was concerned, because until I could see the exact letters of recommendation of the specific driver that would be moving us, it really didn't mean anything. For some background information on World Wide Van Lines, first let me tell you that they have been around for a long time and has won numerous awards through out the years. Although you may not see their trucks quite as much as some of the really big name movers, they are rated top notch by receiving the Good Housekeeping seal of approval for over 30 years, and received two #1 rankings by Consumer Reports magazine. That's not a bad recommendation, and as I said, our experience was exceptional. Moving is expensive, and since this was coming out of our pocket, we did all of our own packing over a period of a month. After so much work, we said we would never do it again, but we did. Now we are in total agreement that when we make the next move, we will pay the extra charges for packing. It frankly isn't worth the work, and stress. We were told that our driver would arrive at a certain time, early in the morning. Our move was a little more complicated because we lived up a winding mountain road, and although the van could get up, it had no place to turn around. We had to pay an extra charge for a shuttle, so our furniture was loaded two times. The additional charge was around $400, which considering the tremendous amount of work, was not that high in my opinion. The driver indeed was there bright and early, and I must say that I was impressed. The van was so clean and shiny that it looked brand new. Maybe this doesn't seem like a big issue, but it is a reflection on the driver and an indication of what type of care will be given to your personal possessions. He was neatly dressed, and had come with plenty of help. Drivers pay their help themselves, so if you have one trying to scrimp by fewer workers than needed, you can rest assured that he is being cheap. Our driver, Joe came with four helpers, and he was in charge. If something wasn't right, he let them know. Joe supervised every box and piece of furniture that was loaded on the van. He wanted it done right, and it was, Our furniture was delivered with the same perfection that it was picked-up. We spent some time with the driver having lunch, and got to know a little about him. He had worked for this company for over 20 years, and you could tell he was proud of his occupation. World Wide Van Lines is a very reputable company. The company has first-rate information about costs, discounts, employment, a list of agents, and how to plan your move. ust remember that because we had probably our very best move with World Wide Van Lines, you could have a terrible one with the same company. It just depends on the driver. So, ask for Joe, and you will be treated flawlessly. \r more
