We were connected to Swan's Moving and Storage with our move via Allied Van Lines. Allied used an Origin agent in Southern California that did a terrible job of making an accurate manifest, damaging things in the process. To further complicate things, our things were transferred to Swan's Moving and Storage and then we found out that our move to Bellingham was going to be delayed. Aimee at Swan's was very helpful and responsive to our situation. 4 months later, Swan's arrived on the scheduled day and did a fantastic job.
They worked hard and made sure that we were totally satisfied. Jay and Charlie are moving professionals. They even moved out a refrigerator that we had no need for. They had an antique dining table repaired and then delivered it to use at a later date. I can't speak more highly for all of the people at Swan's!

They lost many boxes and had much damage. Don't bother paying their insurance as they won't stand behind of lost goods and damage. the move. Really disgusted with them. They shipped our house in conjunction with Allied. Sean's blamed Allied and allied blamed swans. We were caught in the miy with about $4000 of damage and lost goods

I was extremely impressed with Swan's Moving & Storage. Brandon came out to my now former condominium the day that I had contacted the company in order to do a walk-through. He was also prompt in responding to additional questions that I had prior to the move itself. In addition, both of the packers and movers themselves, Andrew and Courtney, were competent, efficient, personal, and professional.
Testimony to this, I have found nothing broken or damaged from the two-thousand-plus-mile move. Finally, Amy at their office was always prompt in getting back to me as well. For all of these reasons, I highly recommend this moving and storage company.

Guys are professional. Horribly hot day, but they pushed through. Very understanding, and let us continue packing the remaining boxes while they loaded. And we're not done. Or items are in storage at their facility right now waiting for delivery next week. I've done furniture delivery, and have moved my self a dozen times. These guys have the equipment to move your items quickly and safely. It is so worth it to your body and peace of mind to have them move you.

I am happy to recommend Swan's. We hired them to pack as well as transport from WA to SC and I was very pleased with the level of professionalism and care of this team on both ends of the move. Eric, our move manager, gave incredible service, supervised all aspects of the move and jumped in himself to make sure our move went well. He communicated along his route and went above and beyond to make sure I was moved in and set up before he departed. We had no breakage and he moved us in on the date he said he would. Five Stars for sure!

We had a double move from Bellingham to Arizona. Brandon Simpson made every detail seamless and easy to get thru. The team of movers is very professional, respectful of belongings and home, and wonderful to work with. All of our belongings made it to our new home. Not one item was broken or damaged in transit. We highly recommend using Swan's Moving and Storage. We could not have been happier!
