      multiple broken items - leg, caster and all wheels broken off antique dresser, and remaining casters completely crushed/flattened, standing lamp shelf broken , broken plate, broken silverware drawer, broken/crushed bird feeder. Poor communication. Outdoor sofa, chair, ottoman delivered and left in very wobbly unstable condition. Leg fell off one of my dining room chairs - can be put back on but one set of screws/bolts missing. It appears my items were "manhandled", tossed around carelessly and heavy stuff placed on top. No telling how many times my load was moved around before arriving at my new home (from truck to warehouse to truck to warehouse to truck to my new home at the very least)

      Worst moving company ever. Lied at every turn, screwed our move, charged us almost double when they screwed up but used out timeline against us. Terrible experience from start to finish. If I could do a zero, I would. The best thing for this company to do is go out of business...trust me.

      Lack of transparency, dishonest, and predatory practices because of forced arbitration clauses. Unigroup/Mayflower is not afraid to hide behind their small print or order to escape responsibility. This company takes away a person's right to due process and will trap you in forced arbitration when you look for ways to remediate what is damaged. Check out my video for more details:**************************** It has been nearly 14 months since my move with Mayflower, owned by UniGroup, and I am still waiting for accountability after they damaged my brand-new Miele dryer. As a husband, father, and business owner, I feel this company has failed to support our family during one of lifes most vulnerable moments: the move.Heres what happened:?? My dryer arrived damaged. We have 4 small children under 4.?? They denied my claim, saying they werent responsible.?? Worse, they didnt even send a qualified inspector to evaluate the damage.Imagine if this happened during an employee relocationcosting time, money, and trust. Its a warning for entrepreneurs and hiring managers: moving companies like Mayflower and UniGroup may not deliver on their promises.

      My claim # is M-0826-5767-4 I hired Mayflower to do my moving from ** to **. A lot of my furniture was destroyed due to neglect of packing the truck completely full with everything on top of each other. My 5 piece canopy black bedroom suit had mayflowers blue felt blankets melted into the paint of my bedroom suit and it wouldnt come off. It looked like it had blue fur all over every piece. Had scratches all over the top of my dining room table which was very expensive and purchased from ******. Gashes and chunks of wood missing on some of my furniture. My 6k Massage chair ripped the leather from top to bottom in different areas that its unusable in my home. Two of my area rugs that I paid 1k a piece for was folded instead of rolled up, so they now have a big crease thats in the middle of the rug, and will not come out after 8 months of laying flat. They have repaired some of the furniture, but they still need to make a cash settlement of 20K where I can buy the unrepairable pieces of furniture. Its been eight months and my house is still in disarray. I cannot have guest until I can get some furniture. We bought a new home and expected that our furniture was in good hands with MAYFLOWER. I was supposed to get a settlement offer on Friday and was promised to have it by 5:30 PM. It is Saturday and I have not heard anything. I want to get this resolved and I would like is a cash settlement enough to cover my furniture where I can buy what they damage. I had really expensive furniture so I made sure to have ******************************** I did have some things that were damaged that I didnt turn in because I went out and bought a stained pen and repaired them myself. They put a large gash in my husbands brand new Scag tiger cat 2 lawnmower, but I did not claim it because we sold it two months after it was delivered. I will update this review when I am contacted by someone at MAYFLOWER who can help me to get this resolved and my claim finalized.

      We deeply regret that your relocation experience was less than satisfactory and that damages occurred resulting in the need to file a claim. It is understood that the claim was filed back in March with some delay in finalization given the multiple occasions of adding additional items to the claim as well as the request for having many items repaired. There was also a delay given that refinishing the dining table took multiple attempts still resulting in unsatisfactory results. Once the decision was made to replace the dining table, settlement breakdown was sent over for review on September 10, 2024 in which was disputed same day. Management has gotten involved in dispute review and working with you directly in attempts to reach amicable resolution to your claim.

      Our experience with Mayflower has been a heartbreaking nightmare. Our belongings were packed/loaded in June, then sat in a warehouse because the drivers truck broke down. After this delay, the driver fell asleep at the wheel on a highway going 75mph + and crashed/flipped the semi truck on our delivery day, causing extensive damage to almost all of our belongings. The crashed trailer sat in a wrecking yard in the Texas summer heat for almost 3 weeks while Mayflower haggled with the tow yard to save a buck. We were left without our belongings for 5 weeks before they were finally delivered (estimate was 7-10 days).It's been two months since the accident, and we still havent received any compensation for our damaged items. Our toddler has been sleeping on a mattress on the floor since June, weve been using our couch which has oil spills all over it, and our garage is full to the brim of our destroyed belongings. Its been a heartbreaking experience for our family. Over this time, weve done what Mayflower has asked which has meant itemizing nearly 300 damaged items for their inspector to review. Theyve sent an inspection team out twice already. Each inspection was supposed to be comprehensive but their inspectors have only managed to hang around long enough to examine about half of our damaged items. To make matters worse, they refuse to refund us any portion of the moving costs as required by the bill of lading contract, despite them damaging or destroying nearly everything we own. Dealing with them has become a full time job. Their claims team that deals with catastrophic events has been nothing but robotic and unsympathetic. Its very clear their priority is trying to save the company money rather than doing the ethical thing and fixing the mess theyve created by FLIPPING A SEMI. I dont know how they sleep at night. For their own sake, I hope they never find themselves on the other side of the phone attempting to deal with their own colleagues.

      Do not bother with paying for the insurance. The claim process has been a nightmare. Although the sales guy, manager, and moving crew with the affiliated group were very friendly during the move, the claims department through United has not been friendly. The claim process has taken me over 5 months to resolve and they refuse to cover 75% of my moving claims even though we paid a lot for insurance with a $0 deductible. We also decided not to claim everything as we thought we were trying to be reasonable as we realize damages happen during the move. This is our 3rd interstate move and we have never had a claim experience like this one. According to our contract, if our goods were damaged, the moving company is liable for the full value of our goods. However they are refusing to pay us 75% of our damaged goods. The claims department with United refused to give me a timeline when it should be resolved and kept giving me the same answer when asked for one. The person who came to inspect my goods was also very condescending and rude during my inspection. My broken goods are still in my house waiting to be resolved. After moving you want to feel settled and it is very hard to feel settled with a pile of broken belongings in your house 9 months after the move. Ironically we were warned by two other families who used the same company, that they also incurred a lot of damages and received little to no solution. They advised we get insurance which is what we did in hopes to have protection. I see other reviews also having difficulty with claims. I will be updating this review if resolved.

      Wrote emails to both ****** and ***** of the Norco to give them our feedback of move the before unpacking. The chief supervisor/ driver scammed us with a tale of not having the work order of moving TVs. Played us a game of selling us boxes that we had already purchased in the work order. Then told us he wouldnt be able to move us since our garage items werent completely packed. When they got to the storage unit they called me said they miscalculated the sq footage and needed us to buy a bigger unit. We did, but they went ahead and disassembled everything they could to shove it in the small unit. We had movers dragging boxes across the top of the unit trying to get them out, they were wedged so tightly in the unit. They crushed furniture that drawers cant go back on the rails. Legs on power recliner snapped. We unpacked our storage unit and discovered many damaged and non replaceable pieces of furniture and ceramics and glassware. Contacted the office again and got our work order info. Left a review on ****** and the company said theyd like to discuss, so I called and left messages. No one returns calls. I put in a claim for the broken, shatteredpieces we kept. Worth over $3,000 and I asked for $1,000 with prices for each item less than half off retail. They came back with $500. We refused knowing $500 wouldnt replace any of our our power leather recline, distressed wooden dresser, shattered wedding china or Italian ceramic dishes, etc. we countered back with $1000 to atleast cover one item. ***** claims team wrote back asking which items were moved and which left in storage. Came back w/$500 for items left in storage since other Items were moved by another moving company. This company scammed us out of $100s on the moving day saying we didnt have orders for TVs and couldnt move on time. Made a mess in our house and yard and took 10 hours to load. Didnt use the larger unit they made us buy, but disassembled everything that we now cant find pieces for.

      To make sure we're reviewing the correct order information, could you please confirm that your order number was M939-104-4, as the name on the order is different than the name on the BBB complaint that was submitted. Thank you - we'll wait for order number confirmation from you.

      Yes that is the order number and the name on the order is my husband. It was a move from our TX residence to VA storage unit (wrong size). When opening unit furniture was crushed, twisted, dented, etc. Our experience mirrors many others except for the fact our driver **** came in with a scam telling us our order did not have TV boxes and they were not going to pack them unless we paid them more to hire them ourselves.

      After five previous moves, we were looking forward to a smooth transition to our forever home. We chose United Van Lines, expecting the best coverage and a hassle-free experience. Our quote was $6,061.11 for a move from ******** to ********. However, the issues began when we struggled to secure a moving date. Despite numerous inquiries, we were only informed on February 5th that our belongings would be delivered the next day, coinciding with our house closing. The mover informed us that he "wanted to go home" and would not change the date. So we informed the movers we would be done with the closing by the afternoon. This is when the movers told us they would only be able to delivery our belongings on the morning of February 6th and not in the afternoon. We were surprised by this as we are aware of United Van Lines' Delivery Date Guarantee policy. We were under the impression our belongings had a guaranteed delivery on the date that was provided to us, February 6th. With a lot of back and forth between the movers and closing office, neither would budge on the timeframe. The movers told us if our belonging could not be delivered at the house by 8am on Feb 6th we would have to get a storage unit. So we had to pay an additional cost to rent a storage unit and pay for a different local moving company to move our belongings out of the storage unit and to our home later that day, which cost $1500. We have had nothing but issues since our move, we have several items that are broken and can't be repaired, only replaced. Also, several items were taken apart by the movers, and we still cannot find the pieces to those items after 5 months of searching. We only requested a refund for the furniture that was unrepairable and were given just $69 despite the furniture being worth over $1000 and is still having to buy replacement parts for the pieces that are missing. This experience was awful, we feel cheated and lied to. This is by far the worst moving experience we have ever had.

      Terrible experience with car shipping. I had them ship my Jeep compass from ******** to ********. It arrived with the spoiler ripped off and missing. The connections for the brake light and windshield wiper fluid that were housed in the spoiler were just left dangling. Upon seeing this, we were concerned about the rest of the condition of the car. It was hard to do a proper inspection since the car was covered in salt and dirt from the travel but we pointed out that there were scratches and dents all throughout the body of the car. The link I was given to submit a claim stated that I needed to enter my own claim amount so I took my car to a local body shop and got an estimate. This link (which was provided by their agent) ended up being for household claims and they are now using that against me. The shop told me it would cost a little over $10,000 to fix all the damage. UniGroup sent out an appraiser who was rude and condescending throughout his evaluation. He implied that the dents were pre-existing even though the drop off paperwork clearly noted that they were not there before. I only had one dent on my car prior to shipping it and had noted that accordingly. The appraiser assessed the damage at $6,600. UniGroup then had a supplemental assessment completed and declared the settlement as $2,900. There is no body shop where I can get my car back to the condition it was dropped off in for that price. I am in the process of disputing the settlement and it has been a nightmare. It does not help that they schedule their response emails to be sent out at exactly 5pm so I have to wait until the next day for any followup. Waiting until closing to send a response has been dragging on this settlement process and creating a major inconvenience. I am not looking to make money in the settlement. I am just trying to get my car back to its original condition. I paid $2,000 to ship my car and do not want to be left with an additional $7,000 bill to fix the damages they caused.
