Default Thinking about United Van Lines?????

Well, find someone else quick!!! Like many others United lost many items from our move from MA to The Villages. We used them because they came recommended from the relocation team as one of the four movers they recommended.

The move seem to be going well and everything went into a storage closeby in Oxford until our home was built at the end of June. There was no way that we could tell we had boxes missing until we actually moved into our home. I checked my paperwork and had 2 page 6's and page 8's, I also don't know how the driver checked off all the boxes as some of the tags he placed on the boxes in our home in MA had fallen off in our garage due to the rain. I mentioned this to him when we met him at the storage area that I found some of the numbered stickers on my garage floor back home and he said Oh, don't worry about that. Well, guess what? He checked off that he delivered every single box, and even though I purchased the insurance it doesn't matter because I found out in the mail tonight that they are rejecting my claim.

Go online and look up United Van Line complaints before you hire them. I wish that I would have. It is discouraging because I don't know of any long distance mover that has a good reputation.

From what I read, they are self insured and tend to deny all claims. Gee, why bother buying the insurance?

They say the power is in the pen. I have only begun.
