Review Analysis
Customer feedback for Van Express Moving & Storage highlights a company known for professionalism, careful handling, and efficient moves, with nearly 80% of 386 reviewers sharing positive experiences. Customers frequently point to polite staff, consistent communication, and respect for belongings—qualities that set Van Express above many competitors. Many found moves easy to schedule, pricing fair, and crews adaptable, even for complex or last-minute jobs.
Negative input mainly addresses damages to items or property, surprise charges, and communication gaps, especially when issues arise or insurance claims are needed. A few also flagged the final costs exceeding estimates. While most clients praised the team’s timeliness and care, others cautioned about follow-up and support. Compared to similar moving services, Van Express tends to deliver friendlier service and more diligent care, yet clients seeking guaranteed damage resolution or strictly fixed pricing should review all terms before booking.
