Great Nation Moving

Terrible communication. Very nice but only moderately careful movers. Lost a piece of my furniture and make you jump through flaming hoops to file a claim. With so many other quality movers, why settle for mediocre?

My out of state move went great. They were professional and courteous. Their administrator Rose made it uneventful.

It went perfectly. The movers showed up when they were supposed to, in a Great Nation moving truck; and they identified themselves, then got to work. They did a great job of handling all of our household belongings and took great care with fragile and antique items. They charged what they had quoted, showed up at our new place on time, unloaded and placed all of our furniture and boxes, set up our beds, and cleaned up after themselves. From Robert, the gentleman who took our information and provided a quote/scheduling, to David, the owner, helping us in any way we asked, to Daniel and Kevin, the moving team, it was a terrific experience with movers. Since that has not always been the case, we are particularly appreciative of their efforts and service. Would highly recommend them to anyone.

I want to point that was very important :company have their own trucks and all guys were employees of company; price was on good rate; I was able to communicate with all department without any delay or calling, texting many times; came on time as was schedule both times; guys made a job very quick 3 hour for 2 bedroom house . I glad I find them online after 2 days research.

Great! The Great Nation Moving team did a great job moving us from Clarks Summit to Landenberg Pennsylvania. They were efficient and careful. They moved our baby grand piano along with rest of our belongings. Our settlement was a problem and went later into the afternoon, but they waited and completed the move in by late evening about 8 PM. A giant wasp got into the house and they hunted it down and set it free outside feeling that they were responsible for it getting in. The foreman made sure I understood all financial matters and that took awhile to sort out, but all were patient, kind, and made our move in as pleasant as they could. We were very pleased with this moving company’s service and would highly recommend them to others! Thank you, Great Nation Movers.

Yes, it was good and the move was smooth. The things are delivered as promised in 2 days which was really very quick. I moved from VB to GA and it was great.

Great Nation Moving helped making our move from MD to FL as smooth as possible. They provided us an accurate cost of our move upfront. Moving supplies were made available for the items that we chose to pack. Everyone was friendly and readily available to respond to our questions. We would definitely recommend this company.

This was my first time using a moving company. The initial contact with setup, etc. (Rose) was wonderful - she explained everything, got me set up with boxes, etc. The guys getting the boxes/furniture were great, didn't take too long, and made the pick up easy. Then it felt as if I had to keep asking when my delivery would happen. The delivery date kept moving and finally 8 days later I received my belongings. There were only two men to unload the truck, so me and my significant other helped to beat the storm that was coming. I felt like I had to keep the communication going for my delivery date and that was the most stressful for me. Otherwise, all things were delivered, unbroken.

We were downsizing and moving a subset of our antiques, books, clothes, and miscellaneous items from FL to PA. I checked with several moving companies and selected Great Nation Moving based on price, schedule, and on-line reviews. With the pandemic we did not want to make another round trip from PA to FL to meet with the movers, so Great Nation personnel worked with our next door neighbor on the FL end, picked up our possessions, and delivered them undamaged to our new home in PA 6 days later. We would not hesitate to recommend them or use them again.

Fantastic! The plan was for a team of four guys to pack us one day and move us the next day. They were SO fast at packing us that they were able to move a truckload of larger items - outdoor furniture, etc - to the new home. These guys were MACHINES! They took a break for lunch and then right back to it. They worked really well together - communicating and helping each other. They truly became part of the family by the end of the two days. We greatly appreciate the team's hard work on two very hot summer days and for making the move as smooth as possible!

Better than expected. Very pleased.

We contacted several moving companies and obtained bids to pack/move our household goods from Iowa to Virgnina. Great Nation wasn't the cheapest bid (you get what you pay for), but they were also about $3,000 to $4,000 cheaper than the other bids we received. So, we decided to go with them. The Great Nation Moving rep I spoke to (Rick), went over everything with me and even viewed our home on Zillow (it was on the market) and noted the size of our TVs, how many beds, etc. (It was a five bedroom house). Plus, I sent Rick a follow-up email listing out again, all of the items we would require to be packed/moved. On the day of the move, only two gentlemen showed up with a 26ft. truck and began packing up our house around 8:30a. These two guys worked their butts off and towards the end of the day, realized that they probably wouldn't be able to fit all of our household goods into the truck they brought. According to one of the movers, they contacted the person who was in charge of this move (David) and he advised that he would not be sending another truck and that they were going to have to make everything fit. These poor guys packed and repacked the truck and by 11:00p that evening, they decided to utilize the extender on the back of the truck. They wrapped the heck out of our mattresses and stacked them on this extender and then utlized several belts to secure them. We were then told that our household goods would be delivered on that following Tuesday at or around 11:00a. Tuesday arrives and by 1:00p, the movers had not arrived, nor had we heard from anyone. So, I sent a text to David and he replies, "We are running a little late, ETA 3-5pm." He also threw in "worst case delivery is tomorrow 8-9am. I replied back that I had to return to work the next day and that I really needed them to show up on the day they originally scheduled with us. Thankfully, they did show up around 6:30p with approximately six movers in tow, who also worked their butts off to get everything unloaded and finished up by around 11:00p. So, all in all, the group worked really hard/did a good job, got us moved and went above/beyond to meet the dates they had scheduled for us. My only really negative aspect of the move and why I didn't give them an "A" rating is that, it would be in the best interest of Great Nation Moving to send a rep out to the site and have them walk through the house, instead of trying to provide a quote via the phone. Even though I walked Rick through each room and the fact that he also utilized Zillow to review the furniture/rooms in our home, Great Nation still only sent two (2) guys to pack up a five (5) bedroom house; they didn't send a big enough truck and because they they thought our household goods were only going to fill up about 3/4 of the 26ft. truck, our cost for the move went from $7,612.95 to $12,115.39. Now, I realize when they bid on a move, they're only providing you with an estimate. So, I was prepared for the price to go up, but not this much ($4500).

Extremely satisfied with the services we received from start to finish from Great Nation Moving. Very responsive service personnel provided a quick, accurate quote and contact throughout the experience. Furthermore our move was during the Covid -19 crises , such a stressful time for everyone and Great Nation Moving team with their professional manner, positive attitude and ease that the moving team handled our move took away a great deal of the stress. Highly recommend!

I am a repeat customer. These guys are amazing. I can’t imagine moving day without them. They remove the stress that is usually associated with moving. I love these guys! Their moves are fantastic! Great staff, excellent service, awesome price! I would not only use them again, but would happily recommend them to everyone I know. Stress free and wonderful! Thank you guys!!!!! Can’t wait to move again.

Stress free interstate move. Movers did an outstanding job above what I expected. I highly recommend. Look no further.

Amazing team of movers, we just can not explain how happy we we re with Great Nation Moving team, absolutely e best lovers ever.

They called me immediately and the estimate process has been very good.

Great job. Bailed us out at the last minute when original mover was a no show. Moved my dad from DE to Florida

Scheduled a time for an on-site inspection and estimate. The owner came 40 minutes late without a phone call prior to the appointed time, then spent most of the time asking inappropriate questions (e.g. what were the names of other companies we were we talking to for moving), then spent very little time going through the apartment to develop his estimate. I got a call later in the afternoon with a verbal quote from his associate, who pointedly asked about other amounts I had received from other moving companies. He then emailed repeatedly asking how I liked their binding estimate (when I had not received one). After a week and half, I finally got a written "binding estimate." It had numerous exceptions (extra for each flight of stairs, defined as seven steps; estimate was based on not exceeding both weight and cubic yards; no cost was included for a shuttle, although one is needed at my location; etc.) so it was impossible to tell what the real price would ultimately be. The whole process was very uncomfortable, and I was disappointed in the quality of service - and this just to obtain a binding estimate. Consequently I did not go with this moving company.

Professional service at a great price.

Initially, things went well. During the moving of the furniture out, an excessive amount of materials was used which ran up the bill. For example. Twelve cheap plastic risers used to elevate the bed were wrapped in hundreds of thick sheets of paper and put in a medium sized box by themselves. The problems were more serious at delivery where some items were banged around and were not working properly. Older items, so I cannot say it was entirely there doing. What I can say is that they "lost" my big screen TV for my living room. I had to fill out all the paperwork for the claim. A month later the claim company says the suggested settlement is $45. I signed the paperwork, but requested they increase the offer (not expecting replacement value, but at least something more to assist). Nothing. Many calls previously were rerouted with at least three different points of responsibility. All payments up front with very little leverage when things go wrong. This is my fourth moving company I have worked with and the first one I would recommend people avoid.

We were scheduled for a move with another mover who backed out on us during the busiest month. We were scheduled to go from Pennsylvania to Texas. Rose answered our Thumbtack and sent out a estimator the next morning. We booked within 24 hours had a full pack move 3 days later and was in Austin within 6 days from day of being packed. The crew came out to pack us and I was very worried that something would go wrong. The foreman Marol was beyond wonderful with the 5 other guys. We were fully packed loaded in one day. (it was a long day but it was done). Our estimate was just about 98% on. Mimi called to set our delivery schedule and Rose kept us updated through out the 4 days on where the truck was for delivery. I have to say, it is not every day a company returns calls at 11:00 pm at night when you realize a tractor trailer will not be able to access the street to deliver. Rose called us back within 15 minutes and said she would make sure it was taken care of before delivery at 10:am in the morning. We had 17,000 pounds moved and NOT one item damaged. If anyone has questions message me. My husband is a Attorney with nothing but praise. Thank you all for a Happy Move!

They were excellent. The packers and movers were very good. They were no nicks, scratches or dents. I had high end furniture. They asked proactive questions (if some of our furniture needed to be bubble wrapped, shrink wrapped, blanketed and padded.) They took wonderful care. They called before coming and had a follow-up call with any issues during the move. It was a very good move.

I have moved several times within the Baltimore Washington area and have never been wholly satisfied with the moving companies used so I was underwhelmed with having to choose a moving company again.lI connected with Lisa at Great Nation and she was through and sent me a quote immediately. This was one of many that I recieved from many providers. Here is the difference - Lisa called me back several times - not annoyingly so - but gently. We were moving from a condo to a townhouse across town. I really didnt want to miss a day of work with this moving process and Lisa was able to book our move on MEMORIAL DAY! The men that came to move us were professional and quick. They knew what they were doing and did it well. I had never had a mover cover all my furniture with blankets and then tape the blankets around the furniture. Great Nation did that with every piece I had. Not one thing was broken and not one thing was damaged. They actually did the move with an hour to spare and I recieved a credit for that hour. I really cant say enough good things about my experience with them. The estimate was right on - except for the credited hour - They do charge for the rolls of tape that they use - but worth it and really wasnt very much money. Worth it!

They showed up 2 days late for the move which threw off our time line on this move. The lame excuse had something to do with the truck being dirty? I was charged $250 extra to dissasemble and reassemble my home gym by a and quot;professional gymand quot; person. That person never showed up, instead thepackers disassembled my gym and pilled it up on the garage floor stating that the and quot;gymand quot; guy will do it later. It has been over a week and I still have a pile of gym in my garage. i have called numerous times to the office and they are no longer accepting my calls. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY! They will take your money quick and run with it!
