Excellent moving experience. William Tillman was very courteous, helpful and careful with our household items. The crews that assisted him in Summerville and in Pennsylvania were outstanding and well managed by William. Please pass along our comments and appreciation.
-
The communication was fantastic from start to finish. The delivery was done during the timeframe provided. Those are my two main concerns when moving and Mayflower exceeded my expectations.
-
My main frustration was with the unloading process in Ohio. The truck arrived then sat in my driveway for more than 90 minutes while we waited for the local moving company (Andrews) to send their crew here. The two guys who eventually came out were great. The two original crew members never showed. One called the van driver to say he was “running late” (no show), the other claimed to have a flat tire.
-
Everything was pretty seamless, we were very satisfied with the service.
-
Rob Hansknecht and Theresa Barton did a great job.
-
First time using professional movers. My last self-move was 21 years ago and my wife and I decided we were not going to DIY this move. We took bids from several name companies and Mayflower was BY FAR the most competitive. We self-packed with no problems. The loading crew arrived with the driver right on time and loading went very smoothly. We initially were given a window for delivery with the earliest delivery date being June 25th which was going to be a push for us as we had a closing on the sale of our house before driving cross-country to Idaho from SC. The driver insisted he could not deliver after the 25th due to his delivery schedule and, in fact wanted to deliver earlier outside of the quoted delivery window but I held him to the 25th. The crew and truck arrived on time on unloading day and, using a shuttle truck, unloaded in an efficient manner. Everything was accounted for, damage to items was relatively minimal, and overall we were very pleased with the entire move.
-
I was pleased that Joe and his crew showed up when expected both to load the truck and then to deliver it. They were polite and nice to deal with.
-
It was good on both ends.
-
everything went smoothly from beginning to end and everyone was most polite which was refreshing
-
Excellent service from start to finish. All aspects spotlessly professional and personable.
-
Everything about our move was done with complete and thorough professionalism. We have moved a number of times and this was the most complicated, but the least stressful
-
The coordination of the delivery was very professional and efficient. The day of the delivery, the truck was on time, and the movers were polite, professional, and methodically thorough. Everything arrived in good shape, and the delivery was finished in 2 hours.
-
Superb until??: This was a large move. Entire large home equaled 100+ boxes. Thus: empty boxes...about 1/ 2....put on large screened porch. Continue the unpack...no room for more empties...which includes all the paper wrapping. Mayflower agreed to pick up first 50 boxes with wrapping . Would not pick up next and last 50 unless payment of $140 to associate company. This made no sense. Would be ok for small house short move. In my case, and sure others similar, the final HUGE amount should be picked up with absolutely less payment. Doing it ourselves, but moving a number of states away and the enormous number of boxes is not right. Offer it and use it to market your company. Michaelene Gon

I've moved several times with Mayflower, always a good experience
-
Generally a positive experience.Some confusion with getting inventory correctly identified resulting in differing price quotes. Crew packing were excellent, careful precise and considerate in house. Was not personally at delivery site but told it was OK. Feet on sofa were off, one missing required all to be replaced.
-
truck had a leak and some things were damaged as a result. the packers were obviously paid by the box as many boxes were packed with more paper than items.
-
I thought you provided an excellent service. I have moved many times around the world and used some very well known global moving companies. It was hassle free and efficient. Everyone involved in the move were courteous and respectful of my belongings. I would like to mention especially Andrey the driver and Theresa Barton who couldn’t have been more helpful. Thank you.
-
Rob Hansknecht was outstanding to meet with initially and review our furniture & belongings. Excellent Mayflower representative!! Theresa Barton was very helpful as a Moving Coordinator and keep in good contact & was open to calls & many questions!!! Travis at Nilson Van & Storage and office personnel were very helpful with packing questions and boxes!!!Thank you!!! The Mover (Romero)and assistants in SC were great!! We did have a few items damaged but have been reassured our insurance will adequately address them! Thank you all!
-
The incoming hurricane delayed our move one week. The packing team arrived on time and loaded our truck the same day. The delivery truck was ready to deliver on Saturday which was too early for us. They delivered on Monday and did a great job
-
The coordinator,Teresa did a great job keeping me informed and the driver, Henry was awesome. Everyone went out of their way to make the move as easy as it could be.

Overall it was an easy cross country move. The moving team in both Charleston and Phoenix were efficient and handled my belongings carefully.
-
Excellent service by all personnel, especially the relocation coordinator, Theresa Barton. Everything arrived intact, on the day promised-- wonderful!
-
Movers were on time and professional. Completed the loading for us to make the closing in a short time frame.
-
Moving with mayflower was wonderful. This was a lot easier and went much smoother than expected.
-
Surprisingly easy; staff was very thorough
-
Our driver was wonderful, assisting us every step of the way, as did our manager
-
Our overall experience was 100% good. From estimate (Rob), to logistics (Teresa, planning) and excution (Chaz and helpers), we could not have hoped for better.
-
It was a good move. Initially the driver did a lot of complaining saying I can’t do this I can’t do that but by the end everything was fine. The crew was careful with our belongings. The delivery crew put some of our boxes in the wrong rooms even though they were marked correctly but they were pretty good also.
-
I did a lot of research, and met with 7 potential moving companies, prior to hiring Mayflower. From start to finish, I could not have been happier with my decision.
-
great people and caring
-
Excellent salesmanship and communication.
-
My overall experience was great. I would definitely recommend Mayflower.
-
Actual move went well. only thing that was disappointing was the 18 days it took for delivery.
-
Theresa who was my contact person was SUPER! Staff all friendly and tried theor best with some difficult locations. The furniture going into storage could have been wrapped better. Fabric chairs should have been shrink wrapper. Furniture damage may have been due to move from Houston to storage to home. I have moved 11 times over the years and this team was at the top or near to the top as best I can remember.
-
Excellent coordination from Theresa Bsarton. Excellent, courteous and professional packers, loaders and the same team unloaded us in Liberty move which was wonderful and much appreciated. We have used Mayflower exclusively for last 10+ years-4 moves and have never been disappointed at attention to detail and results!
-
Mover crew was professional, extremely courteous and helpful through the entire process on both ends of the move.
-
Everything was done in a very thorough and professional manner. Mayflower's communication with me was outstanding throughout the entire move.
-
I appreciate the hard work of ms Theresa, and everyone. I would like to ensure that a good approximation is done in order to not have the move put on separate trucks. Otherwise everything went fantastic!

I have been very pleased with everyone involved in the process from my initial call to the sales call (estimate), moving specialist, driver, packers and loaders/unloaders. Everyone was very knowledgeable and friendly
-
Everything went perfect start to finish.
-
I was dreading my move based on experiences I had heard from other people. Mayflower made it the simplest, smoothest move I could have imagined.
