Beltmann Relocation Group

We used Beltmann to move us from Naperville IL to Charleston SC. The segments (appraisal, packing, loading, and delivery) were seamless and handled very well. I was always able to contact the facilitator at Head Office and she regularly checked in with me during the move. At delivery and unpacking the lead driver was very professional, however his assistants were quite inexperienced. Nevertheless he made up for their inexperience.
The cost was in the midpoint of the 3 other Van Lines we interviewed.
All in all I would certainly recommend this company.

We used Beltman to move us from Chicago to Arlington, VA. They came and gave a quote which was reasonable and on par with other movers so I decided to go with them because they moved us from MD to Chicago 7 years ago and did a good job. They came and prepped us for half a day and then moved everything out. They were very professional and knew exactly what they were doing. Nothing was damaged whatsoever. On the move-​in, different movers brought our stuff and they were also professional and very clear in regards to communications. They came super early to accommodate our schedule and were done early like they said they would be. They did not disapoint. I would definitely use them again

Fast, efficient, and very courteous staff. They arrived on time for a pack and load day at 8AM, finished everything by lunch time.
They were very professional and fast, you don’t have to worry about a thing with your stuff — we basically just told them which ones to pack and which ones we need for ourselves.
We have yet to receive shipment in the west coast (we’re from NY) and time table says about a week. Crossing fingers this will truly happen.

I moved from CT to FL. I got the storage done in FL. The office staff in FL, especially Carol were great but the delivery and damage to the furniture overrode any niceties from the office. The delivery group did not put everything together, pieces were missing, etc. I would not use them again.

This was my first experience with a moving company, and I think I would have been better off renting a Uhaul, as I have relatively few possessions.
I selected this company pretty much based on convenience. I was in the process of finding an apartment across country and didn’t have the time to wait for other moving quotes. Moving companies must have your acceptance of a quote a certain amount of time in advance so that they can schedule their truck to come to your place within a window of time. Unfortunately, because I had set up a flight to go check out apartments, I didn’t have the time to get other quotes. I’ve broken everything down as it happened.
1. Quote process. Woman that quoted the move was friendly, and prompt. Although she proceeded to talk smack about the city that I was moving to (Midwest people are friendlier blah blah blaaa) I was also informed that my stuff was pretty much a «lower priority» due to my small amount of possessions.
2. After quote follow up: After I received the quote, I had some items that I had to either pack myself, or get rid of. Due to this, I called the move coordinator and the quote agent to request a quote modification. The response was slower than I would have liked. Emailed twice with no response, called 2 – 3 times with no response. To their credit, they did end up responding, but I had further questions that I was promised a call back on and never received.
3. Move timing: As I had decided to drive my car across country due to retrieval logistics, and having an immediate need for a car, the time to have the move complete and leaving enough time to drive in a comfortable amount of time was beginning to shrink rapidly. I was elated to find out that the moving coordinator had scheduled the move for the 26^th of the month, and would call me 24hrs. beforehand to give me an exact time. This would leave me enough time to drive comfortably. When it got to be less than 24hrs. before and when I did not receive a call, I emailed to find out what was going on. I got a curt «sorry», but your move won’t be on the 26^th. On the 26^th, I called again to see when the date would be, and there was an allusion to the 27^th, but most likely the 28^th from 8−10AM. On the 27^th, I got a call stating that the move time would be on the 28^th from 12−2PM. At this point, this was about my worst case scenario to drive and make it on time for my first day of work. The movers ended up showing up on the 28^th, shortly after 2PM.
4. Payment /​price. The payment process seemed a little antiquated with forms that had to be filled out and faxed/​scanned back with a credit card number. Not sure if other companies are like this, but an online form would have been awesome (especially since my scanner was packed: P). Price was about $ 2100 for a studio apartment.
5. Quality of move: The guys that picked up my stuff in Chicago were pretty cool, hence the extra star. Not sure about the guys that dropped it off, as my brother was there for the week (luckily) to meet them and they did not call me in advance, which makes me wonder if I would have known they even came had my brother not been there, or if they would have just charged me the fee for holding my stuff. One box had a broken Pyrex container, and all boxes had a thick layer of dust on them.
I would recommend renting a U-​haul and getting a family member to assist in moving (we all know friends have been out of question since college) if you have a smaller amount of possessions, because this company seems to focus more on large moves. I’d also recommend starting the quote process at least a month before your move, and looking at numerous companies.

I used Beltmann/​North American Van Lines) for my move from Chicago to Long Island, NY. Everything went smoothly and there were no surprises, price-​wise or move-​wise. My main contact, Adam Coolidge (also did the in-​home estimate) was very good at responding quickly to any calls. The quote was the lowest of the movers that did in-​home quotes (I have used the phone-​only estimates before and those are lower but are NOT guaranteed no matter what they tell you), and they guaranteed the price. That price did not change even though the actual weight of my shipment was actually 200# more.
The movers who picked up my stuff were on time, and were polite and friendly. The movers who delivered my stuff were also on time and very a good bunch as well. No one gave me any attitude at all (unlike with some moves I have made in the past, with other movers). I am now 3 months post-​move and I have not discovered any items/​boxes lost, and nothing was broken during the move. I did have Beltmann provide about 50−60% of my packing (they only charge you for what they pack. you don’t have to go with complete pack vs no packing).
I have moved MANY times in my life, and have managed the last few moves by myself (I’m a military brat) and of the ones I managed, this move was by far the smoothest and stress-​free. Beltmann was on time, didn’t lose/​break anything, and did not tack any extra charges after the fact. On top of that, the aforementioned representative, Adam, was great at getting back to you (all calls returned within 24 hrs).
Unfortunately, many movers out there do not provide this kind of experience/​service. My moving experience with Beltmann was drama-​free and super straight forward. I would def move with these guys again.

I used Beltaman service for my move from Chicago IL to San jose CA. I really would say that they are a very professional organization and very methodical. I especially wanted to thank Adam Coolidge and Mathew Bridges who has been very supportive through out the process of the move. I had made a few changes in the delivery dates due to circumstances during the process of my move and Adam and Mathew Bridges were really accomodative. I would no doubt use them for my next move also suggest my friends to use Beltman.

Beltmann was pretty helpful and accommodating, straightforward and upfront on the scheduling and business side. Their consultant was super-​friendly and helpful getting me set up for my move from Chicago to San Francisco.
Unfortunately their otherwise polite and friendly movers were a little rushed and this led to a hasty partial dismantling (and subsequent destruction) of my coffee table, and possibly contributed to my missing floor lamp.
I know that stuff happens but it sucked that such a good experience with the business could be marred by these mistakes. I would still probably use them again.

We relocated from Chicago to Michigan on July 22^nd, 2010 and enlisted the services of Beltmann Group. David and Daniel were our assigned movers. We were nervous about this move but the moment David walked in we were put to ease. David is an older gentleman with years of relocation experience. He was very detailed and patient with our questions. I requested help with unscrewing cable connections and even though this wasn’t related to the move David pulled out his toolbox and made it happen. Daniel is David’s younger apprentice. Our move was scheduled for 8:30 AM and the crew arrived well in time. They rolled out a mat over our carpet so as to not leave any marks. David divided responsibility and the crew executed efficiently. Once the truck was loaded they drove to our condo in Michigan. All we had to do was notify which box went in which room. I gave a tip of appreciation, waved goodbye and the potentially painful experience was over. David and Daniel are awesome. If you use Beltmann Group ask for these guys by name.
