Report
From start to finish our local Atlas representatives--Metropolitan Van & Storage--made what was a stressful out-of-state move (to a home we purchased sight unseen) a much less stressful process. Our in-home consultation with Elizabeth was quick and efficient. The logistics coordination and communication with Elyssa was excellent, particularly when the closing on our house was delayed and our stuff was ready for delivery 2 days before we received the keys.
She went above and beyond to figure out scenarios and a final solution that worked for us, another client, and our driver. Our driver, Brian, was personable and eased any concerns about the handling, transport, and delivery of our household goods. My only complaint is that I had an email issue with both Elizabeth and Elyssa where I consistently got error notices that my messages were delayed and then cancelled. Had to set up an online fax account to get around this which was a bit annoying, but only for the initial paperwork. Would definitely use Atlas for our next move and recommend them to others.

They did come recommended, but I can't figure out why. They tried to over charge us even though we had an agreed upon price. We ended up moving a third of the stuff ourselves just to get previous house cleaned out to better show. They did not put everything away as promised. They quickly just dumped everything and left boxes hidden in garage that were supposed to be placed in bedrooms. They ignored the damaged items that we pointed out. We are still finding damaged furniture that is not able to be repaired as we unpack the rest of our boxes left in garage. I would not recommend this moving company to anyone.

Outstanding service across the board with skillful, courteous and genuinely nice people. Estimator was very efficient and thoughtful; office staff were always helpful and able to answer my questions and the crew -- the Lopes Brothers -- did a fabulous job packing, loading and unloading. They were truly exceptional. All this and very competitive prices too!

I moved from California to Texas and this company did a great job. Art was the sales rep who met me at my home and went over everything with me and gave me my quote. Art was very friendly and did a great job. He was easy to get in contact with throughout the whole process and even after I was already moved in. Matt was in charge of the moving and he did a fantastic job. He was very friendly and professional and his moving crew was very nice and did a fast and great job accommodating my moving needs.
The greatest part of working with this company was that due to my own poor planning, I had a few additional boxes to move and Matt so generously met me at the truck yard on his own time and let me load the additional couple boxes into the truck. All my stuff got to my new home and nothing was damaged. Matt drove it there himself and met with me in my new home and even gave me some local recommendations as he knew the Dallas area a bit. He previously gave me great advice on driving routes and places to stay and eat along the way. Matt was awesome and I would highly recommend working with him to anybody!
