On 11/23 On 11/23, I came across Venture Van Lines, David Hoffman, called me every week from October 23 to feb 2024 to convince me, to use their company. The original contract, was quoted at $2500 to $3000, moving from Los Angeles to Ocala, Florida. The day before my move, I received the 2nd contract..4/22/24 for $4700 I called Venture Van lines LLC and of course, no one was available. I even, called Dave Hoffman and his line is now suddenly disconnected, ghosted. On the day of the move, I received forms for a company...AKA Ernest Movers, i was forced to sign, pending discount after everything was moved, grand total of $7900, and for a 1 bedroom, what a joke. Crystal movers hired 2 men from Craigslist, worst thing, they have never packed an apartment before. Absolute disaster. Nothing was stacked, or packed professionally etc. Fast forward, 2 weeks later: I called Ernest Movers, and I was told Flex Moving INC did my move. This # is also disconnected and the company doesn't exist, however it clearly states, that they, did my inventory. Suprise, it's a fake company called Flex Moving inc. I tried calling Flex inc moving, and it is a disconnected line. I have proof. I was bullied, haggled, threatened and manipulated into paying by Crystal movers, who claimed they are moving my things and will keep it until I pay them and, I am now going to have to pay $150 per day for storage fees or else! I was never told that my things, will be in storage much less sign anything for storage. When I asked Mark from (Crystal Movers/+12068588589 ) for his last name or company's address, I get an abrupt answer or he would hang up, he is unprofessional, manipulative, and verbally aggressive. Crystal movers are the actual transporting company that are holding my things hostage in Los Angeles. I was bullied, haggled, threatened and manipulated into paying by Crystal movers, who claimed they are moving my things and will keep it until I pay them, also I am now going to have to pay $150 per day for storage fees. This why they only want cash, zelle, paypal, venmo... I did file a dispute, on my deposit of $1900 from Venture Van Lines, since then I am getting a slow response from Kate Henderson and with no compromise. It went from $7900 to $7300 to now $7200. There is no guarantee my things will be delivered. And I paid for platinum packing, guess what, I was packing. My fragiles where not bubble wrapped.. and we both know they will not cover any damages, it is now almost a month of waiting. I refuse to pay anything unless my belongings arrive in Florida unbroken and my electronics etc are still working. My belongings does not cost 8k, I do have sentimental things. I would be a fool to trust this company after a month of going back and forth and paying what they are asking. There is no guarantee that my things will be shipped or unbroken. I hope this will come to a compromise, as of now, my belongings remains hostage, in Storage and in Los angeles. Please do yourself a favor and do not fall Victim for their Scam!! What they are doing is unfair, they have done this to numerous people. I don't believe they have an actual office, the broker seems to be working out of a home, look it up.

Scam This company is a scam. Please stay away from them. Worst experience of my life! Venture van line asked through trustpilot to add my review and explain my experience so this review is not taking down… venture van lines already once flagged my review few weeks ago… Venture van lines used my name on the contract ( without my consent) instead of the person who was actually moving from NYC to west palm beach. My name was used on the contract that stated I authorized to deduct monies from not my bank account. I never gave venture Van van lines authorization to use my name anywhere. How is that allowed? Further more the estimate that they gave was way off. So, yes I think this company is absolute scam. Our attorney has taking over this case and I’ve already asked venture van lines not to contact me ever again. Thank you.

Scammer Scammer , fraud this moving company. I had a disappointing experience with Venture Van Lines LLC. The quoted amount significantly differed from what they charged on the pickup day. This lack of transparency raises concerns about their pricing practices, making it difficult to trust their services. They gave estimates 2700$ , when truck driver show up he gave me 7500$. And will asked you advanced payment for booking which is non refundable . I never faced such a big scam in my life .

They are a bunch of scammers Do not use this company. They are a fraud and hold your items hostage if you don’t give them more than agreed from the contract. Horrible DO NOT USE them. They went through another company called Federal moving and Storage that took our stuff because we didn’t Zelle him money to his personal account. We were going to pay with card to the company but he wanted us to have no tracking. They are a scam and a fraud.

Highly recommended! I can’t recommend these movers enough. Their quote was by far the lowest and included the cost of dismantling and reassembling the beds and other furniture for us. From start to finish they were fantastic and made the whole moving day a lot less stressful.
