budd van lines

We recently used Budd Van Lines to move our things from New Jersey to Sarasota, Florida. In addition to typical “jitters” about the move process, we were extremely concerned about our considerable inventory of high-value, sensitive electronics that needed to be moved. We have read many horror stories about long distance movers and was nervous about the security of our belongings and overall success of the move. From the beginning, Alan Bronstein made us comfortable and came up with the right approach to handle both the sensitive and valuable equipment as well as our household and sentimental belongings. His proposal stood out amongst the other companies that we considered and we elected to go with Budd. The entire move went flawlessly! We give most of the credit to our driver Kevin. Kevin is exceptional! From the protection of our NJ home floors to the unloading of the last item off the truck in Florida, Kevin gave extraordinary personal care to our belongings and our satisfaction with the work he and his team were doing. He and the two teams were extremely respectful of us, each other, our property and both homes. Kevin continuously checked in with us to ensure that we were satisfied and ask if we had any concerns (we had none). Kevin arrived right on time the following Monday with the trailer safe and secure, then personally supervised and worked with the unloading crew to ensure a very smooth unloading and satisfactory handling of our things. Crucial to this success were the 2 crews. The packing/ loading crew in New Jersey were all highly respectful of our home and property, and extremely skilled at their jobs. Special mention goes to Blanca who did most of the kitchen packing- we had ZERO damage! The crew in Florida were equally skilled and efficient and protective of our property. They had a considerable amount of very heavy items that needed to be hand carried up stairs to the second floor and they did this all with a smile. Both crews were extremely pleasant and worked tirelessly on our behalf. The Budd team really came through for us. We have already highly recommended them to others and will continue to for anyone looking to move. We need to give one more shout-out to Kevin; he was professional, respectful and fun. He could not have been better to his teams and to us. What could have been a challenging, stressful and painful four days of strangers lugging our stuff in and out, instead was a friendly group all working really hard together and with us to get us moved.

Budd Van Lines is top notch and the best of the best. From beginning to end my move experience was amazing! I have done plenty of moves being in the military, but none of them compared to this move. Budd Van Lines have a very cohesive team that keeps you informed the whole way. My driver Reggie Hernandez and the Virginia packing team can move me any day! Not only was I packing my home up, but also had to prepare to put my home on the market. I anticipated that I would have a lot of cosmetic repairs to do to my home after moving my heavy bulky furniture, but when I say not a scratch or scuff mark and my items were packed to perfection! Budd Van Lines, continue doing great things and hiring professionals that respect your property and household goods!

Recently had Budd Van Lines move my entire life from Los Angeles to Philadelphia. I have to say, this is a great group of guys with a professional touch. The entire process was so simple and organized. Props to the California crew that packed me up in busy DTLA and the folks here in PA that unloaded me in my Philly high rise. Not an easy move by any means, but the guys at Budd did it without a complaint!

Highly recommend. Onboarding was easy, communication was impressive except on weekends, and the packers/movers they hired were truly excellent. The one hiccup we had was that the company did not get the street parking permits for the van that they needed, which was stressful to us in the days leading up to the move. However, they solved the problem by finding street parking and being willing to accept any ticket that came their way, and the move went off without a hitch.

Just so bad. They were constantly late or early (well outside of scheduled windows). They accommodated almost nothing. We had an extra stop literally 2 blocks from the original pickup, they wanted an extra $2k just to go the extra 2 blocks. They broke our sons playset and couldn't even cover the 300$ for repair / to get a new one. You communication was difficult and slow. Do NOT A GO with this company. It's a huge pain and you'll regret it.
