Excellent
-
The personnel were professional and my household goods arrived in good shape. The individuals who unloaded were helpful and respectful.
-
I found everyone I dealt with professional, helpful and easy to work with. I was shipping my elderly mother's belongings to her in California and she needed a little extra care. It was definitely provided.
-
Everyone, from reps to drivers, was friendly, professional, and helpful. Could not ask for better service!
-
Movers were very friendly and hard working. They underestimated how much time it would take to load everything and ran out of paper and tape, but eventually got it done. Only a few things were not packed well and those ended up with some scratches

Excellent service/advice from moving coordinator (Erika). Gentlemen helping move from our home to the new destination were extremely efficient, courteous, and friendly.
-
We have moved so many times and this has been the best move ever! We are so appreciate of everyone involved in this move. The courtesy, professionalism and communication was outstanding!
-
Overall the experience was fine. I didn't rate it excellent primarily because of our experience unloading our stuff.
-
United personnel were quite helpful and always professional.
-
The staff that started the process and monitored the process were great. The actual movers were okay. The driver was helpful in that he went to multiple locations to drop off our stuff as requested. But it seemed like he was a bit put out for doing so. When item were packed and in packed a few items were broken. Nothing major, and slightly expected for some things to be damaged. The actual movers mostly seemed in a hurry to get finished and out of there. Things that were disassembled were not reassembled. Some things are still missing. Lastly, the inventory was signed off on by me, but not checked, as the driver said we couldn’t since we unloaded in more than one location. A little bit of forethought would have resolved this.
-
I was completely satisfied with the service I received from United. From the moment I was contacted for the initial visit to the delivery of my furniture and belongings to Ohio; everyone I interviewed with was professional.
-
The movers on both sides of the move were pleasant and hard-working. I got my stuff the day after I arrived across the country which I thought was amazing. However a couple of items were broken in the move. I have yet to file a claim.
-
Very professional mike and his team awesome. Go Dallas uh yea right pats
-
The packing packing and loading experience was fine although the hardwood floors in the living room were scratched. The driver had to be called multiple times in order to get an eta. Needed to turn in an insurance claim because of a damaged washer, the third party insurance carrier needed to be called multiple times to get a resolution. A dresser and table were missing bolts/screws and nuts which meant I needed to go buy them from a hardware store in order to assemble them. Our master room bedroom set was put together incorrectly, which caused us to have to pull it apart 3 days later, if we didn't catch this mistake we would have damaged the frame even more than it already was. We are missing a glass from an entertainment center shelf which I know for a fact the driver had. Our contact at United was FANTASTIC and thank her for being so incredibly responsive - she is why the score is as high as it is.
-
The movers arrived on time and were extremely professional and helpful. They were very careful unloading my belongings and went above and beyond to provide excellent customer service.
-
Excellent!
-
All of my interactions leading up to moving day were terrific. Moving day was another story. I was very dissatisfied with the driver. He seemed to really dislike his job and his interactions with me were gruff and downright rude. His two helpers were fine. I called after the truck was loaded and complained to the office. They assured me they would speak to his boss and the driver himself, and that I would have a much different experience on the other end when the driver came to unload our stuff. This was the case. A very different experience. He was more personable, friendly and helpful.
-
We were satisfied with everything about the move primarily because of Jeff who anticipated our needs and solved all the problems that came up.
-
Very nice
-
The estimate experience was very good with Mike Denny and Erika Gray was awesome in helpful tips, coordination, staying in touch, following up and answering many questions and addressing concerns. Kudos to them both at Brooks Transfer. Driver Brett was nice and seemed to know his stuff. The loading guy were awesome, hardworking, worked well as a team and truly cared about our things and our home. Wish they could have come to Colorado to handle the unloading! We’ve been moving for 28 years through the US Navy and have experienced good and horrible moves. Getting our goods in Colorado was timely. Brett the driver shows up on time again and knew the three unloaders. One of the three, Brandon, was very good and was on the ball. The other two, uncle and nephew were irresponsible and careless. The younger had headphones in and was not listening to any directions from us about the placement of things, he was rough and careless when unwrapping items from blankets, running from the truck with our tv on his shoulder and banging the box on door frames, taking personal calls on his headset while unloading and carrying our things and not caring. His uncle was careless as well, had a headset too and when inside our home puts his shoe up on a unique piece of Korean wood furniture to tie his shoe! My husband said something to him but he could have cared less. My husband said something to Brett, the driver, and he spoke to the nephew, but nothing changed. The head phones stayed in, he ignored us because now he had the headphones just around his neck and music blasting thru those! We found some damage along the way and will handle accordingly when we survey everything. Paperwork was rushed to sign and driver not pleased that I wanted to make a note on a leg broken on a dresser. He also made a few unnecessary comments to me a phone call to him from our coordinator, Erika. All in all it was a good move. I was especially glad for them to just be done with the unloading and leave. We ended up just having them fill the garage with boxes and we’d move ourselves later. Just not happy with the unloaders, except Brandon. He was very good, helpful, careful and professional.
-
Dana was very helpful in negotiating the price after we had decided to move ourselves. We appreciate her extra efforts in doing that. The 3 young men who loaded our furniture in Newport News were wonderful to work with.
-
Having moved 17 times in the Military, several times with United Van Lines and at least twice with this particular contractor (Brooks). our experience on the pick up end did not meet our expectations and was less than satisfactory due to the attitude and lack of professionalism of the driver. Several pieces of furniture were damaged due to poor loading. Our experience at the receiving end was much better and more like our expectations from United Van Lines.
-
Overall the move was great. Had to wait for one box to be delivered when it became separated from the rest of my items otherwise it was perfect! Packers were amazing, the folks that loaded me were fast but very careful with my belongings, everyone was kind, polite and made me feel like I was in good hands. Would definitely use them again.
-
All personnel that we had contact with were professional, very competent and efficient. It was disappointing our station to station move was modified to include storage extra handling and damages.
-
United was very flexible for pickup and delivery even with our rental house issues.
-
great people great timing costly but worth it
-
All went well. My belongings are in storage (garage) due to some remodeling I am having done. Not sure what state my possession are in since I have not unpacked yet.

Process was seamless. Shipment was distributed among 4 individuals and one box was misdirected. The recipients have not fully unpacked so once we know who received the wrong box, we will communicate that to you for resolution. The local agent, Brooks is aware of the issue.
-
There were some very confusing aspects, but overall Brooks did a fairly good job.
-
First time making a move across country. United made the move easy as possible. Furniture arrived in a timely fashion and handled with care.
-
Great experience.
-
Superb Service is all respects, from beginning to end! From our initial meeting and household goods survey and changes/follow-ups with Dana Salamino and our frequent questions clearly answered by Erika Gray, to the warehouse personnel who gave us all the proper boxes, paper and tape, to our driver Lee Coonan and the truck loaders Ron and his son Jeremy who expertly carried our belongings out of our 2-story house and expertly filled the truck like pro 'Tetris' players. We had considered using the POD Self Service Move system and after our excellent experience with United, we are SO glad we chose to go with United to complete our move. Most highly recommended without reservation.
-
Very professional from start to finish
-
Weather a factor, but equipment breakdowns were the main cause of a late delivery. Staff very helpful and movers were mostly careful with our belongings.

Though not a perfect experience the move was pretty close to being that good. Personnel were all very professional, helpful and friendly. Always trying to accommodate our needs the team at Brooks moving company ranks high on our list of all time favorite companies.
-
Move went well on both VA and NC ends. Happy.
-
The prime mover Christopher was awesome attacking and both the helpers in Virginia and Florida are outstanding
-
Overall very good experience.The staff, especially Erica and Dana were a great help
-
From start to finish United Van Lines were amazing to work with. Erica was always so nice and professional. She helped to make a stressful situation much more manageable. The packers were also very pleasant to work with. After packing ourselves and all they needed to do was pick up. They were still very careful with our things and even made sure items were packed properly so they would not get broken. They were amazing and very patient with us as we finished cleaning behind them so they could pack the vacuum. When drop off day arrived, the driver, Jason called to insure I was going to be there. He arrived on time and was also very professional. He and his partner unpacked our things like they were their own. The were also hard working and finished unloading in record time. My over all experience with your Company, once again, was fantastic and I will highly recommend your Company to others! Thanks for taking such good care of us
-
From initial estimate to delivery, we couldn’t have been happier with our experience.
-
Dana Salamino was terrific to work with from start to finish. Our local and long-distance drivers both left something to be desired, in terms of their customer service and knowledge of our move terms. David, another local driver called in to help load, was terrific. The CLT local crew called in to unload were excellent.
-
Brooks Transfer team was outstanding. We were very pleased with our moving experience from start to finish
-
Erica Gray was always available and very easy to work with on each phase. The packing crew was great. The delivery driver was very good. The crew that unloaded the truck was adequate.
-
Brooks Brothers understood my time crunch and had someone at my house to provide an estimate within 24 hours. The driver was top notch and the moving crew did a great job. Erica followed up with me every step of the way and my items were delivered on time (across the country) with no damage.
-
Brooks Moving and storage came highly recommended. I must say the movers, especially Allen exceeded my expectations.
-
Very easy with a totally professional and friendly staff. From start to finish!
-
Overall great experience. Good packers, loaders, unloaders and excellent driver. Very happy with the service and the price.
-
Driver was great. Focused on his work.
-
The move was well planned and organized by Books Transfer. The packing was poor. The delivery was just OK. We had 2 stops planned and the movers had a difficult time getting boxes in the correct places. The driver was very capable.
-
All went very smooth, as advertised, in every respect. The staff worked with me on a few issues to resolve them completely with no hassles at all. Very professional and yet very personable too. A great experience.
-
Erica Gray was our relocation coordinator from United.She was very "hands on" with every step of our move. Returned our calls and communicated with us throughout our whole moving process. Very helpful!
-
Overall we are happy with the experience. It was a very stressful time for my family, and it was made relatively low stress by the packers and movers. The job was accomplished and accomplished well. I can't really expect anymore than the service we received.
-
The entire move process was great, up until I received my shipment and found out that two of my items (one of which was high value) were damaged.
-
Excellent, worry-free move! Great customer service, loaders & driver, and delivered on time!!
-
Excellent with the following exception: 1 lost item,(one of a pair of custom wooden shelves) 1 damaged, but repairable, wooden lounger. My complements to the packers and driver. My general complaint is the "inventory list. It was not explained at either end, and wasn't used as a check list during pack up, load or off load. Took about 6 hours to load an about 2 to off load. No effort was made at either end either to explain or use the inventory list... but they were quick to get signatures. With that exception, the move was relatively painless. We were (and still are)novices at this; it was our first move in almost 50 years
-
This was my first move using a commercial mover and my overall experience was nothing short of great. Mr. Jim Talley was the supervisor/driver and from the start of the loading in Virginia to the completion of the unloading in Baton Rouge, LA, there were no glitches ... nothing was broken, missing or damaged. I was/am completely satisfied with everyone involved beginning with the coordinating team from Brooks Transfer in Virginia Beach, VA, Mr. Talley and his loading crew and unloading crew. Erica Grey, the lead coordinator with Brooks Transfer, has maintained contact with me throughout this entire process. She even contacted me the day after my arrival in Baton Rouge to see if things had gone well. The whole adventure has been well handled and all the people I've had dealings with have been great representatives of United Van Lines.
-
Everything went very well from the initial survey through delivery.
-
Everything about our move was seamless. Our driver contacted us the day before, and the local office was great in answering my many questions. There were no surprises, no delays, no hidden fees. I will recommend United to others and likely use their service again in the future.
-
Great experience, great customer service and very easy process.

This was a move for my parents from their home to a senior residence. I was extremely pleased with all aspects of the move. The movers were skilled and professional and always polite and accommodating.
-
United Van Lines is a great company. From Mike, who did the initial walk through , to Shanna in the office , to the two guys who loaded up my furniture and the one guy who delivered it ( early) , everything was awesome. They were professional , courteous and easy to work with.
-
Office staff, moving reps, packers, truck driver, and off load crews were outstanding professionals and excellent representatives. All were a credit to United Van and Brooks Storage and Transfer of Virginia Beach, VA
