Review Analysis

Colonial Van & Storage stands out for its professional and polite staff, clear communication, careful handling, and transparent pricing. Most feedback praises their efficient service and reliability, exceeding the standards set by other movers. Pack crews protect homes and belongings, estimators detail pricing without hidden charges, and many moves finish early or on-time. While competitive rates and friendly teams attract many repeat customers, nearly 41% of responses highlight serious concerns. Some clients experienced damaged or missing items, delayed arrivals, and challenging communication during problems. A few reviews describe delivery windows missed by weeks, unresolved claims for broken furniture, or trouble getting updates and accountability after issues arise. The majority describes positive, stress-free experiences with good value, but recurring reports of lost property and slow resolutions place Colonial behind the most consistent moving companies.
