I've seen a lot of negative reviews on this company, so I was nervous when they were assigned to deliver my household goods from my military move. But from the second I answered the door, I had the best possible experience with this crew! They were super polite, friendly, respectful with my stuff, communicative. In fact, we actually had fun! I had an enormous amount of stuff (14 crates, 2 trucks) and the crew of 6 was done in less than 6 hours. I rarely give 5 star reviews, but this was worth it! Note - I used Aprin of Rhode Island - I think this is a National chain so maybe other branches

I had to give one star but it should be zero stars!!!! They are the most defunct moving company that I have ever dealt with. Thousands of dollars of goods were never transported. Waiting on customer service is another joke. So many people have left the company so everyday is a new tell all. Please, Please do not use Arpin unless you like drama and heartache!!!

Has been over a year and they still have not addressed the problems with my move. Keep in mind that one pays before Arpin actually completes the move. I suspect this practice has a lot to do with their poor performance. Since they're paid before the job is done they simply lose interest in properly completing the move. I wished I'd listened to the other negative reviews listed below but I didn't and chose to let Arpin move me. I regretted that decision and I'm still regretting it. Bottom line is that you are well advised to stay away from these movers. If you are considering

If promptness matters at all to you in your time of need (say when you've moved across the country and are living off suitcases/air mattresses/take out meals) I would advise against choosing Arpin. We selected them based on how their promised delivery time window aligned with our schedules and made our travel and work arrangements accordingly. The expected delivery range was already long (7 days) and they were an entire week late. They then missed that delayed delivery date again (a day where we arranged to take off work to receive the late shipment). Our consolation prize? $150 in Restaurant

I would rate them a zero if it let me. DO NOT USE THEM!!!!! I got a quote from Arpin, however my job was moved over to Dolphin Moving Systems. Arpin should drop this company from their business and it's their fault for allowing this to happen for their clients.
The driver knowingly put our couch cushions in someones else's section on the truck. He "couldn't get to them" when they delivered our items, so assured us he would bring them back by once he did another delivery. Phone calls, texts, etc. later, we filed a claim and the joke of a company Dolphin said that our $4

Tried to get a quote to move my stuff. They video recorded a walk-through of my home and all my belongings and then nothing. They ghosted me. Wasted my valuable time. I called the main number multiple times and talked to multiple people and told multiple times someone would get back to me but no one ever did. I see they don't have the ability to rate them set up on Facebook - probably because they know they'd get terrible ratings. I feel like they might be a scam company so choose another moving company.

I submitted a request online for an in home estimate, received the attached confirmation that it was received and that I would receive a phone call shortly, that was on the 11th August. To date I've not received an email or call from them at all (if they did call and it's a call I missed, they didn't even leave a message). Not one peep from them. I chose another company and moved on, don't waste your time with Arpin, if they can't even email or call to respond to a request, think how horribly they'll handle your move.

As you can see from my original review I initially did not have a good experience with Arpin Van Lines. But in my opinion the sign of a good company is one that owns up to mistakes it has made and corrects them. Today I was contacted by a woman named Julie in their customer service department and they have reviewed and approved my delay claim. Certainly I would have preferred that the move had gone smoothly in the first place but since that did not happen this is the best outcome I could have hoped for.

In 12 years of military moves (this being my 7th), this was the worst one I've experienced. The movers showed up four days late at our pick-up residence in Kansas. When they did show up, they had a 26' U-Haul truck instead of a company truck/rig. This caused them to have to leave to fetch another truck at 4:30PM (after my telling the crew and calling the move coordinator, telling them all day that they'd need another truck).
While loading, the crew tore up the edge of our brand-new, custom built dining room table by placing the bare wood on, first, the concrete front steps and

Didn't get any better. Delivery guys arguing with driver, etc. Our stuff must've been stored in a nice sweltering warehouse, a lot of my wife's pottery and wooden sculptures have deep cracks in them. I wouldn't have used these guys if I had a choice at the time, and now that I do I won't use them in the future. I never got calls when I was told someone would call, the calls came days later. How is them not being able to secure labor beyond their control?! Nice of Chris to respond on Yelp over a month later. That's very helpful....

This is the worst company to move with. We have moved a lot including 3 times coast-to-coast. I never realized how bad things can get until we hired Arpin. They were an approved vendor with our employer so we thought it'd be ok. It wasn't. The guy who does estimates is a third party so he wasn't a part of Arpin and was ok. On the day of the move, the movers came in late and sat in their truck (literally just sat there) for hours. They were apparently waiting for more help. Their dispatch/project manager was incompetent. We had to call him three times and wait until 1 PM until things

If there is an option for zero stars that is what they would have received. These guys are the worst. They showed up a day early so we had to shift everything to the right. They damaged a bunch of my stuff and ruin my brand new wood floors....They denied the claim because the driver failed to mentioned that I had to annotate it on the shipping documents. Even after they called and I told them about the damage before they left, they still didn't mention that I had to annotate the damage to the house. DO NOT USE THIS CARRIER.... If you do ensure......that you annotate everything on your shipping

Absolute worst company I have moved with. Apparently I cannot get a call back after submitting my inconvenience claim a month ago. It seems they will only help you if you are currently in the middle of a move (which isn't much help) or if military reps call them about their service.
Not to mention the broken household goods that arrived and missing box worth near 1000.00. If your transportation office says your HHG will be moved by this company or TierOne relocation (affiliated with and in the same building) request it be changed.

Pretty bad- even horrible experience. Moved from Texas to Kansas.

The guys who brought everything into the house in Kansas said that some other company will put the playset together and left. Then company told us on the phone that no- those guys were supposed to put it back together and that they will credit us an amount that doesn

This company deserves zero stars. If you're relocating avoid this company--seriously, run away screaming! I share the same sentiments and experience as every single negative review here. Theres so many problems my family and I are dealing with beginning from movers who were scheduled to arrive at 9am and a lone person arrived at 1pm to lack of communication from their customer service and no sense of urgency...just too many to enumerate and Im just too stressed to detail all the problems and issues I have with them to date.
Seriously, if I can sue them for emotional distress, I will!!!! They

Dreadful, dismal, and demonstrably awful. Scheduled to show up on July 3rd-6th. Showed up on the 2nd. Scheduled to deliver my furniture on July 7th-17th. Come the 17th and not only was my stuff still undelivered, dispatch had no idea where it might be or when I could actually expect it. Nevertheless, I was charged the full amount on the 2nd, long before my stuff finally arrived on the 23rd.
Better to rent a UHaul and DIY your cross-country move.
I literally cannot say enough bad stuff about this company without resorting to expletives.
ETA: I contacted Arpin, as Chris K requested, and received

The Navy had Arpin move my household goods to Washington Sate from San Diego and they were a nightmare to deal with. I must have called at least 20 times but no answer and they didn't return voice mails. After finally getting hold of "wookie" i think, she told me my household goods would be delivered in 3 days time and if I wasn't there they would put my stuff in storage at my expense. I explained to her I would be down in OR on business and they really should had notified me earlier or answer one of my 20 phone calls so I could have made arrangements and I got the "we

Not quite sure why there are so many bad reviews but I on other hand had an excellent experience! It could have been the local affiliate who handled the move or the company's reputation. Either way my experience was fantastic from start to finish!
Both my moving consultant and moving help were friendly and professional the entire time. The type of relationship you would want to build a friendship on if you had the opportunity in the end!
All of my belongings arrived undamaged and in the same condition as which they began their journey. It could be that I took extreme precautions in packing
