After listening to friends' experiences with other moving companies and reading reviews on the internet, I was almost contemplating about selling all my stuff and moving with just 2 bags and buying everything new :-p. Then I read about Great American Van Lines. I used Great American Van Lines for my move from Jersey city to North Chicago. In one word, the experience was amazing! Right from the point when David stepped inside my apartment to do the survey and prepare an estimate till the point my stuff was shipped and assembled in IL - they were exceptional! I had a small 1-bedroom apartment to move from, store the stuff in storage (till I finalize my new home in IL) and then move into new apartment in IL.
1. The entire staff was super-friendly, professional and knew their job well.
2. The move-to apartment was on 3rd level and no elevators
3. 30-days storage was provided at no extra charge.
4. I had to advance my moving day by a week, with a 2 day notice and they accommodated!!
I had researched on a lot of other movers. Some refused to survey in person, while others sent an agent to survey, while the estimates were done by another agent. Great American Van Lines' estimate was not the lowest I received, but guaranteed peace of mind was worth a few extra hundred bucks. Also they were the only ones to provide the estimate break up (without me insisting for it) - which helped me knock off a few things to keep estimate within my budget (e.g. I sold some old stuff, etc.)
