GBcross country nightmare Asked for a quote for 1300 cubic ft of inventory. The rep said they quote based on inventory & that is how they can charge lower rates than competitors. He sent a quote based on my inventory list, & I followed up with a video, as requested. We settled on a date for packing/moving. The day before moving, the rep said that based on the video I had sent 3 weeks prior (20 days exactly), the move would cost $2,000 more than they quoted. They made sure we didn’t have time to find a different company to move us from CA to PA. He said it would take a full day for packing/loading, but I did not expect that to be from 12- 1:30am (for 1 bed, 1 office, 1 nursery). They played Tetris with the truck because they sent one for 1100 cubic ft instead of 1300. Also couldn’t fit our lawnmower so we had to leave that behind. They asked us to go to McDonald’s at 10pm for them. At 1:30am, they left 20 boxes, packing tape, and (McD’s) trash everywhere. We received an audacious email from the rep in the AM saying we owed an additional $1200. We called him to ask how, when he had the video & inventory list for 3 weeks. Instead of explaining what we were being charged for, he berated us, then hung up. He then texted that he was calling dispatch to tell them to return our stuff & they would charge us for all of the packing & moving. His texting was frantic, full of contradictions & he wouldn’t answer calls. We called the main line & connected with a manager, who was barely better than the rep. After we explained the situation to him, his response was that we didn’t need to go get McDonald’s for the crew, & that they don’t use videos as a means to compile an estimate (even though that is what they used 2 days prior to say they needed to charge us more before showing up). We had no choice but to pay. We were moving across the country with our 4 month old & this experience was so incredibly stressful. After googling, I realized others had issues with that rep as well. A side note, he said it would take about 5-7 days for delivery; it was 14. After unpacking some items, realized several were broke and then packed that way. A few items were broken and packed as separate pieces, indicating they knew they were broken, said nothing, and packed them for us to open glass shards.

GBFriendly Staff and Not too bad on the wallet I've been expanding my business in Chicago recently and my business partner Marcus and I decided to split a place we could stay at while in Chicago. We wanted to move some of our things from Florida to downtown in the Chicago loop. We used Cross Country movers to handle it. Their location in Miami worked out pretty well! They made it happen with the price and got everything where it needed to be undamaged. Moving isn't really something I enjoy no matter how I look it at but I will say they made it less stressful.

GBIt’s been a great experience to have… It’s been a great experience to have the cross country moving. I moved across the country and it did helped a lot. The workers are friendly and efficient! Even though they notified you 48hrs before the delivery, the delivery time is negotiable for the moving hot season. I really appreciate that!

GBTHE WORST MOVERS IN THE WORLD! Read all the negative ones and you will know. They have multiple websites: crosscountrymovers.com and crosscountrymovingcompany.net are the same guys. And have many different Yelp pages. So do your homework well. They are NOT even a real moving company. A bunch of guys with with a phone. They will give you a very sweet deal and take the money upfront. Then the nightmare begins. A small local company comes to you. Cross Country Movers don't own anything, not even the trucks. Hence they never know where your stuff is. You can keep calling and pull your hair but they will keep telling you 'the driver will call you 24 hours before delivery' and they have no idea where the truck is or when it will arrive. We got our stuff three weeks later. Many things broken because no one is responsible; the packers are a different company, the driver different, and the delivery guys someone else. No one cares how your things are. You'd be better off finding a handyman and paying him to do the job. He'll probably break less things and keep you updated on when he's reaching.

GBSuccessful Coast to Coast Used them for our coast to coast move. Everything about the experience was fantastic, from our care representative to the actual movers at both locations. Would definitely recommend them to anyone who is moving long distance.
