Meyers

Pros: Service oriented, quick and courteous
Cons: None

I was very pleased with the entire move. All of Meyer's representatives were attentive and service oriented.… The team worked really hard, and they were polite and patient with me as I decided what was to be packed and where to move things in our new...

Pros: Friendly, hard-working staff; delivered as promised; Great price for the peace-of-mind value.
Cons: None really. Took 7 days for delivery, but we knew that was a possibility.

We interviewed 5 moving companies for our long-distance move from New York City to central Ohio. Our rep from Meyer's was the most thorough and though they weren't the absolute cheapest option, we felt most secure with Meyer's (owned by Mayflower). ...

Pros: Did what they said they would, for the quoted price, and did it well.
Cons: Showed up an hour early, if that is a con.

We hadn't moved since post-college days, over twenty years ago, and had plenty of trepidations, thanks to hearing plenty of mover-horror stories. Meyer's was located through an internet site (http://www.vanlines.com). After phone calls to 6 or 7...

Pros: Fast, reliable, polite movers. Very helpful!
Cons: None.

I just moved with Meyer's Moving and Storage, a NYC agent for Mayflower Transit, and they were GREAT! After comparing 15 different companies, and after getting frustrated by dodgy sales people and intimidating phone estimators, I was relived and happy to...

Pros: Our final bill was $250 less than the estimated cost
Cons: nothing i can think of at the moment

I used Meyers (agents for Mayflower transit) to move my wife and I from West New York, NJ to Plano, TX in the middle of January. I received 6 in-home estimates from local NY and NJ companies that contacted me through the website vanline.com. The ...

Pros: NONE
Cons: Late, misquoted, too many mistakes and never taking responsibility for those mistakes, blaming me

We thought because the salesman suggested to me to check out the BBB for all moving companies, that they would be a company that was going to be easy to deal with and friendly ... we were very, very wrong. We have NEVER been forced to contact the BBB ...

Pros: Good price
Cons: Damaged my new wood floors and some paintings, and then refused to honor my claim!

I moved into a house with brand new wood floors. They did not use any pads to protect the floors, so they damaged the floor in many places.

Also, they broke the glass on a painting because they stuffed 6 pictures into a single box and did not...

Pros: None
Cons: Untrained Movers, paperwork shambles.

Meyers Moving in Redwood City california moved my goods in June of 2000. The "Professional Movers" they claimed would be sent to my home turned out to be foreign students on student visa's, with no training on packing and moving goods.

These...

Pros: Didn't get the chance to find any...
Cons: Very unreliable

I have never used professional movers before, so when I decided to, I came here to epinions to find ...

Pros: NONE
Cons: CRIMINAL

I am complaining against Meyers Van Lines for 1.NOT fulfilling the end of their contract – to pick up and deliver my household good from San Diego, CA to Beausoleil, France and 2. for the worst customer service possible. It is has been an ...

Pros: none
Cons: criminal the laws they broke were considered 'civil' as the police couldn't help.

Meyers moving company is the absolute worst moving company. They are like the Mafia and try to swindle at any chance they get. They even take the stance of breaking your goods, stating that in order to get the job done they will require "tips". This move was the worst experience EVER. BEWARE of the company Meyer's (main office in Bronx, NY) as they are nothing more than a shell company for money laundering and shams.

Pros: Friendly, professional, and honest.
Cons: None really.

I chose Meyer's Moving after reading the great reviews on this site, and I am very happy I did. The experience was fantastic from beginning to end: The sales people were courteous and professional, the onsite estimator was helpful and accurate on the estimate, and the movers were simply great. They definitely know what they are doing, and being a Mayflower Agent is another great plus!

It is amazing how much junk one accumulates in a lifetime. I quite honestly don't know what I would have done if I needed to pack it all myself. You just reach a point where you are surrounded by small items you don't even remember ever purchasing and you have no clue how to pack them. The Meyer’s team was unbelievable. Within 2 hours my apartment was packed neatly and everything was labeled and organized!

Overall, I am really glad I went with Meyer's. Good, reliable and professional company!

Pros: Were efficient in returning phone calls and emails
Cons: Everything else; the bottom line--our goods arrived late and damaged.

After shopping around, we chose Meyers because they seemed professional and trustworthy ('SEEMED' being the operative word here...) Our goods were 5 weeks late being delivered, and thanks to the poor packing job, arrived with significant scratches (maybe because the tip for the movers was less than they had requested?); 2 pieces were so damaged that they had to be trashed. Dealing with the claims office was a nightmare--the woman in charge was one of the most passive aggressive, patronizing people I have ever dealt with. If you are moving internationally, look elsewhere.

Pros: NONE
Cons: see text

I hired Meyers to relocate my household goods from Philadelphia to the UK.  They were very helpful and responsive right up until I signed their contract/estimate form... good luck trying to get in touch with anyone after that!  They took my full payment for door-to-door moving service AFTER they had their shipments placed on hold by their UK agent for non-payment.  They sent my goods over here to the UK without paying their agent for any of their costs incurred or for delivery.  My stuff has been delayed for months and Meyer's has continued to miss payments on a supposed payment plan arranged with their UK agent.  I have to wonder how many more customers' monies they took after mine (November 2008) if it is now April 2009 and they still have not paid their balance.  I know I'm not the only person in this situation and hope that my review will help make other potential customers aware of the very poor business practices of Meyer's Van Lines, C. Meyer's Moving, and all the other names this company goes by.  Definitely use at your own risk!

Pros: Meyer's is the worst company we've ever dealt with
Cons: Meyer's is the worst company we've ever dealt with

The staff was threatening us by requiring tips "then we make sure your stuff will arrive complete and in good condition "(didn't we already pay for that???) - was two hours late, cheated on actual time needed and worst: our stuff arrived in horrible condition. Meyer's Moving is ignoring emails/phone calls/forms and the insurance company - which is based in Israel - will not cover anything.

DO NOT DEAL WITH THIS COMPANY!
