"I used. AMERICAN VANLINES after researching several Companies. I will say they were great to work with. Communication was slow at times on returning calls, but they always either returned my calls or emailed my answer. I had a window date but it was extended by a day out, I was given a couple days notice, I appreciated that they gave me enough time to readjust my schedule. They were on time day of move. Driver was awesome, pleasant, hard worker, seemed to have a good relationship with his packers. Delivery went perfectly! Arrived on time, un packed and placed everything as asked to. "

"Our moving team should all be given a raise and/or promoted! Unfortunately, I'm not supposed to mention names but hey were amazing to watch as they packed our home with care, a great attitude, and speed while loading a 36' truck like a Tetris game! Unpacking went smoothly, as well, with boxes and furniture placed carefully. Great team, for sure!! My one suggestion would be that American Van Lines provide lifting straps to your movers. It was challenging to watch the straining backs transfer the heavy furniture pieces. Safety of your employees should be considered!! The pre-coordination went smoothly although I had numerous "permanent personal moving coordinators" it still was great. Not that I EVER want to want to move again, I would use and recommend American Van Lines to anyone!"

Tips for Moving From North Carolina to Texas

Research your new community early. Before moving day, take time to explore neighborhoods, schools, and local services in Texas. Knowing where the grocery store, DMV, or nearest coffee shop is will help you settle in faster.
Create a moving week checklist. Draft a week-of checklist with reminders like emptying the fridge, updating your address, and prepping essentials for your first night.
Set aside a “first night” box. Pack a clearly labeled box or bin with everything you’ll need right away — think toiletries, chargers, a change of clothes, snacks, pet supplies, and basic kitchenware.
Take photos before disassembling furniture or electronics. Snap a few quick photos before unplugging wires or breaking down big items. It’ll make reassembling your setup in Texas way easier.
Don’t forget to transfer medical records and prescriptions. If you're switching doctors or pharmacies, request records in advance so you’re not scrambling to find care in a new place.
