"Our office relocation went remarkably well. I believe your crew headed by Lee Pflaum did the job in record time (1 1/2 hours). They were all VERY efficient and the move was made without a hitch. I would HIGHLY recommend your company to any business that needs relocation services. My experience with you was commendable and everything promised us was delivered. From your sales presentation to your actual moving crew the service was impeccable. My sincere thanks and appreciation for a job well done."

"I was moved from my home in Elko, NV to my new residence in Sparks, NV. I would like to commend you on the service your staff provided for my family and me. From the time your office staff set my appointment with your salesperson Ed Buonamici to the time your driver Chris delivered my shipment, I was impressed with the professional and positive attitude of your company. Ed was able to confirm my move dates when I was given my estimate. Your staff called the day before picking up my items and the day before delivering with an estimated time of arrival for the driver. Your driver and his crew arrived on-time both days. I could not have been more satisfied with my choice of moving with Colonial Van and Storage. Thank you for a stress-free move."

"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I can't thank you enough for your patience and understanding. I live in Dallas, Texas and was unable to fly to Reno until the day before the move day. When I arrived at my parents' (who are both in their 80s), I was very overwhelmed with what needed to be done. When the moving guys came to the house, I knew I was not ready, but didn't know what else to do since I had to fly back to Dallas that weekend. Your lead man Calvin made a call to the office. Two more men were sent out with boxes and helped finish packing, and everything was packed and loaded. The crew was very patient with my mother who couldn't decide what to keep and what to throw away. Everything arrived safely at our house in Dallas. Please pass my appreciation on to Calvin and the crew."

"Once again, your company came through for us and made a difficult day bearable. Steve's crew was organized, professional and proficient. They were a pleasure to have in our office. Thank you again for your help and guidance."

I wanted to let you know what an absolutely fabulous job your company did in managing and executing our moving project in conjunction with the re-carpeting of our offices. The crew was here early every day for five days moving our office in coordination with the carpeting company. This was done during the day and we were able to continue operations during the various phases. They made sure furniture was moved from one part of our office to the other with minimal disruption; being mindful that our staff was continuing to work and move around the office during the project.
They took on a huge job of dismantling and reassembling our clerical cubicles. It was not easy, as our equipment is pretty old and had been reconfigured several times in the past 12 years. They made it all look just like new, and we really appreciated the effort they made. Besides these three specific gentlemen, there were three others and they all worked equally hard at getting our job done well. The crew showed professionalism in handling a complicated job.
Not a thing was lost or broken and we can thank your crew for that. This is the second time we have used your company, and you can be assured we will call on you again should the need arise.

"Colonial Van & Storage, Inc. was contracted to move our environmental laboratory that uses many sensitive and expensive instruments, such as gas chromatographs and inductively coupled argon mass spectrometers. Our company's goal was to move the entire contents of the 8,000 square foot facility to our current 16,000 square foot facility over the weekend so that the laboratory could continue to operate the following Monday. Colonial Van & Storage, Inc. facilitated the move and the laboratory was able to meet our goals. The operations manager, Doug Welton, Jr. and his employees were very organized and professional. They understood that the instruments were delicate and ensured that they were handled as so. All of the instruments were successfully moved and operational after. Doug went above and beyond the scope of the project by supplying us with additional packing crates and moving additional items that were not originally contracted. I highly recommend Doug Welton, Jr. and his employees at Colonial Van & Storage, Inc. based on our experience with the moving of the laboratory. We will definitely contact Doug of any future moving situations that arise."

My name is Dell Truax and I recently moved from Long Island, NY to Durango,
Co. Paul Holland of Pak Pro LLC was my driver. I wanted to let you know how lucky
you are to have him associated with your company. He loaded my family 's belongings
on June 12. We were closing on our house in Durango on June 16. We ran into trouble
with the bank and our closing was pushed off. He would call me from the road to see
how we were making out. He was able to push our delivery date back to June 29. As the
delivery date got closer we realized the bank would not have the paperwork done in time.
Paul continued to call me from the road and help me with ideas on what to do with our
stuff He even went as far as to talk with my mortgage broker and real estate agent to try
to come up with a solution. We ended up putting my stuff in a storage facility. Paul
unloaded our things and once again went above what was required. He left my
furnishings wrapped in blankets and took extreme care in stacking it. My real estate
agent was there and said it was refreshing to see that there are still good caring people in
the world.
They say moving is one ofthe most stressful things you do in life and they are
right. Paul's caring and guidance made a very stressful time a lot easier. I was never
worried about my family 's belongings because I trusted Paul. I knew he cared and would
not let anything happen to our stuff With all we were dealing with from the bank, it was
a very calming feeling to talk to Paul.
I hope you keep Paul very busy. He is a credit to your company and I would
recommend him with 100 % confidence in his ability, work ethic and professionalism.
With a driver like Paul your company will continue to grow and be well respected.
Again, I can 't say enough what this man did for my family and how thankful we
Thanks for your time".

Please pass on my thanks to all who were involved with my recent move from Georgetown CA to Indiana.
Working with you, Colonial Van Lines, and Allied made a nerve-wracking experience much less traumatic than it could have been. My driver, Sean, had a sunny calmness that buoyed me through the process. The crew sent up from Sacramento was unflinchingly industrious, filled with creative problem solvers, and cheerful to boot. Those who worked on my behalf on the Indiana end were equally delightful and undaunted by the problems presented with getting me into this Victorian here.
Thanks again.
All the best,
~Genevieve Baird
Dear Ken:
Thanks very much for the great counsel and great work on the relocation of our offices.
From the pre-move meetings with you on what needed to be done, to the labeling and
floor plan drawings, to the actual move; it all went great!
It was sight to see the three trucks pull up to the old office at 8:00 AM, nine guys pile out
and load it all in 90 minutes. And it was just about that fast on the other end so we were
largely up and running by mid afternoon.
The crew was careful, efficient and friendly. A very positive experience!
Stop by and see us sometime now that we're in.
~Ken Dunham
I know how quick people are today to write and criticize or complain. Every now and again, when one is well served and well treated, we should take the time to give credit. I just want to commend you and your staff on making our recent move an enjoyable experience. I want to particularly point out how impressed I was with the respectful, hard working, and courteous crew who moved us. A special thanks to Ted and Jason!
This is the first time I have used your company in a move, and based on what I've just experienced, I would use your services again if ever needed and recommend you as well.
~Roger Manz
Very professional & helpful. They treated our things like we would have. We are very impressed with your company and your employees!
