Unethical and unprofessional. Before my move, the salesman was very good at assuring me that my move, including a piano, would be treated with the same care that they would treat their own possessions. When they tried to deliver the piano, they damaged it (over $600), left it the garage, and told me to figure it out on my own. They also damaged other items, marked up the walls, and could have cared less about my possessions, because they weren't their possessions. When I tried to get reimbursed for completing what they agreed to do, they said that it was "impractical" and would

My move was from MA to CA...
Laziest driver I have ever met he was supposedly numbering boxes and wrapped furniture as it was put on the truck. When things arrived there were 4 boxes missing and 3 pieces of furniture broken. The top of antique deal they promised ha have a professional fix. Some idiot put two screws half way in it, there were NEVER screws in this antique, they ruined it. They NEVER put furniture they took apart back together worst moving experience I have ever had.

One of the worst experiences I've ever had with any business in any industry. I tried to move a car with United and it was a string of broken promises, inadequate communication and horrible performance. I am in the service industry and have had my share of mistakes so I try to be understanding. This was bad enough that I will never contact United Van Lines again. In the end, after all of the trouble, they couldn't deliver and never shipped my car. If you go with United after this review, you don't have anyone to blame but yourself. Terrible, terrible, terrible.

Run away. Fast.
Long story short I moved across the country. My property was completely damaged and as if that wasn't bad enough it was also delayed. A picture is worth a thousand words right? Please check mine out. For some reason not all of the pictures are loading so I'll explain what all they damaged. United Van lines damaged my couch, both dressers, table chair, coffee table and my mattress. I would never ever use this company again. I would not recommend United Van Lines to anyone. They damaged over $3000 worth of my property. They offered a settlement of less than $300. This

Avoid United Van Lines at all costs. Not sure if I am posting this to the right place because they are nationwide. But they are H-O-R-R-I-B-L-E. They lie. They told me every box would be accounted for using a label with my name on it, a bar code, and that I could tell where my boxes were at any time. Oh and they lied anyway saying my truck would be the same truck picking up as dropping off so when I saw their inventory tag was a tiny little orange label with a number on it, I felt defrauded but not as worried.
Well, lied again. They moved my stuff who knows how many times from truck to truck

I relocated from Washington, DC to Sacramento, CA. United was the only company that guaranteed exactly what day my belongings would arrive, rather than giving me a range of dates. Just as promised, my stuff arrived first thing in the morning on the day they said they it would be there! The time between pick-up at my origin and drop-off at my destination was 12 days -- quite reasonable for a 4,000 mile move.
I used their container moving service, where they load your belongings in containers that are then moved on flatbed trailers, rather than your items being loaded and unloaded individually each

BEWARE - BROKE ITEMS & LIED ABOUT IT
United / Planes subcontracted to a local company to prepare our grandfather clock for shipping. Subcontractor broke the clock while doing so. They lied to us and to the BBB saying it was broken before they touched it. United's movers plastic wrapped two of our four couches; not sure why they didn't plastic wrap all of them. One of the non-wrapped couches was white. It arrived covered in black streaks on the bottom 8 inches as if it was dragged through dirt. They also lied about that claiming it was dirty before they touched it. They also broke

DO NOT EVER USE!
United Van Lines has made my husband's and I move from California to Oklahoma a absolute NIGHTMARE.
We got a quote of $4600 dollars ( IT IS NOT CHEAP) to move our 3 story condo from California to Oklahoma. The horrible service started with the pick up. We scheduled our pick up for 10/26. We did not get word on what time they were coming to pick up our stuff until about an hour before they were coming. We were hooked up with a move consultant that was supposed to keep us informed on our tracking and be there for any questions or concerns. Well, she completely ignored us. The

Was recommended by Untied Van Lines to use Shipsmart, due to low weight of our items. Items sat in a facility for a month after being picked up from our house before they were packed and transported. Items were missing, damaged, and dirty. This company owns no trucks or facilities, they are brokers. Go with someone who has custody from start to finish. I felt I was doing a disservice by not writing this review.
United Van Lines should be held accountable for partnering with such a disreputable business.

If I could give negative stars I would! This has by far been the WORST moving experience I have ever had, and I've moved a lot. I've lived in 11 states in the past 11 years and have never had a move so delayed and damaged.
They picked up our items June 27 and guaranteed their delivery window between July 5-10th. I called on the July 5th because I hadn't heard of an update of when our items would arrive. Kristen told us our stuff would be loaded on the 6th and they would call us when it was on it's way. On the 6th she called and said the driver cancelled and that it wouldn
