I just moved from Charleston (Goose Creek), SC to Belleville, IL, and got my stuff a few days ago. WOW!! They dont pack your stuff correctly. I had airplane models in a box that cost me about $500 and they were just thrown in there with no paper in between them, so there was one damaged that I have to claim. Well, they did put paper between the heavy paper hold punch and other computer supplies ON TOP OF THEM in the same box!! I agree with "lisanicewonger" and her comment, MAKE THEM WRAP ALL YOUR FURNITURE. My book case had a hole blown into the back; somehow it made it to Charleston from Germany with no damage, but this short distance move it was heavily damaged and needs to be replaced because theres no back to it now. They will tell you the driver inventories the big furniture...dont take the chance, make them do their job and pack EVERYTHING. I have stuff missing parts and all sorts of problems. This is probably my worst move and will cost the most to replace everything. Ive made moves and claimed less stuff...they dont give you full replacement, so Ill probably come out of pocket. SUPERVISE, and make them pack your stuff the way you want it...if youre alone like I was and trying to supervise in a pretty big apartment; ask a friend to help you out. Its rediculous that in Germany they pack and take your stuff in a day, and here they barely pack half your stuff before the day is over then take another day to do the rest. The driver will put furniture pads, but if you know it will be in storage they will come off and will cram your stuff in a crate...oh well if something falls off your furniture b/c it wont be there after. To prevent this make sure your stuff is covered with something other than the drivers furniture cloth pads because they belong to the driver. I should work for them. Just throw stuff in a box? I can do that. I wouldnt even come close to calling it "expert packing."

I moved from Switzerland to Wisconsin, Nilson was nice enough to deliver my pod FOR FREE from Chicago to me (4 hrs away) because they were coming to this area anyway. I packed the boxes in Switz and their partner co packed things into a homemade box. Everything was packed nice and tight and not ONE thing was damaged. Would recommend them at least from my experience.

I would never recommend them for any move. Mine was an international move to Australia. I did not get what I paid for. They did not even care or would address my complaints, I had three witnesses and it did not matter. Worst company ever! Dont waste your time.

Other than exhausting, it was a pleasant experience. On schedule and no surprises. Joe Sayas, the Mayflower driver, and Bethany Martin made the ordeal reasonable and safe. Would recommend Mayflower and Nilson for a move again.

Poorly trained packers. Do NOT recommend. Several items broken because they did not pack correctly. Beware.

Great moving service!
