We recently used First Wave Van Lines to move from a one bedroom in Seattle to a two bedroom in New York. What a warm, friendly, and efficient crew! They owned our move end to end and made us feel totally comfortable throughout. Not to mention, a few days later when I was taking down all of our broken down moving boxes to recycle, I dropped all of the boxes as I exited the elevator. Coincidentally, just outside was another group of First Wave Van Lines movers who immediately offered to help me gather and get the boxes to the recycle. Proactive, professional, kind – we would highly recommend for anyone looking to make a smooth west coast to east coast move.

The manager of my storage facility gave First Wave Van Lines a high recommendation when I asked for moving companies to work with. He mentioned that there were only positive experiences.

I needed to get my move of fine furniture executed quickly with multiple stops. Having a team I could communicate comfortably was essential. I found the team who got the move done with efficiency and care. They were super easy so work with and I was really happy with their execution.

The move went so well I decided to use First Wave Van Lines the following week. I had the luck to have a team of three versus just two that I had arranged for. They were able to quickly ascertain what needed to be done across multiple stops. The team were so efficient, took good care of fine furniture, and got the job done.

I have a major move to the Seattle area and will no doubt use First Wave Van Lines.

I had a great experience with First Wave Van Lines, from the start to the end of my move.

To start, it was very easy to get an estimate and schedule my move. The final amount was completely in line with the original estimate. There were no surprise charges at the end.

The movers themselves were very conscientious and professional. They worked quickly and efficiently but also carefully. I felt bad that they had to carry a queen mattress and small sofa up three floors of a narrow apartment stairwell but that didn’t phase them. I’m glad I didn’t have to carry that stuff up those stairs!

So I was very glad I decided to entrust First Wave Van Lines with my moving needs (their review history on themoversreview.com played a huge role in that!). I heartily recommend them to anyone who needs help moving (it’s well worth the money!). And I’ll certainly call them again for my next move.

Thank You First Wave Van Lines

First Wave Van Lines just did an excellent job in bringing over 100 boxes of paper up from the lower level of my Portland home, and then moving 50 of them, plus some other materials, into a storage unit in Vancouver. The movers were extremely courteous, extremely careful, and extremely efficient. They did the entire job in 90 minutes (really!) and the cost was extremely reasonable. I highly recommend First Wave Van Lines!

I called numerous moving companies to get a fair quote, honest answers, and a sense of trust. I was ready to give up and unwisely do the move myself, but I did one more search and found First Wave Van Lines. They delivered all three of my needs.

They helped answer my questions and coordinate the logistics of my move. They were our amazing moving crew. These men were professional, hard working, courteous, and a blast to be around. They made what could have been a stressful move…well, not stressful. This company stands by their morals. I feel you’d make a mistake by not hiring them.

Excellent! We were moving back to the Phoenix area after being displaced from the CA wildfires. So, needless to say we were not in our right minds with months of navigating the situation, let alone having moving suddenly foisted upon us. Luckily we were in such good hands with First Wave Van Lines. We called upwards of a dozen different movers in both states and got quotes mostly in the same ballpark, but talking with JB gave me a real sense of calm. He kindly answered all of my questions and actually had some of his own to get a clear sense of what lay before him. This was especially appreciated given how lucky we were to have belongings that were able to be moved at all. Everyone I dealt with along the way was kind, clear and communicative about what to expect. On the day of the move, he and the gentleman who came with him were quick, efficient and careful with our belongings. They kept in touch throughout and when they delivered our items it couldn’t have been easier. They were in and out in less than 6 hours! After the year from hell I couldn’t be more thankful to have the end of our journey be handled with the utmost professionalism.

These folks are definitely worth 10 stars. Friendly, professional and efficient. They were very professional and came prepared for everything we had. I’ve always worried about hiring movers but these guys didn’t waste any time and were super careful with our stuff. Nothing was damaged and they set up our bed, connected the washer and dryer, placed antiques where we wanted them and even hauled stuff back to our other house and our sons. Price was very reasonable and the total job came in under our budget.

I almost wish we were moving again (not really) so we could hire them again.

If you’re looking for movers, this company will completely exceed your expectations. They were the best priced, but having them as your crew is the game changer for sure. No joke, request for them. They’re family and really bring that extra edge of communication and personal touch to your move. We moved from a 3bedroom full house into a 2bedroom apartment with 3 flights of stairs and these guys made it look like cake. My mom’s antiques that we are storing were handled with such care, the price we paid was seriously such a deal compared to what we got. We spent a week getting quotes for this move, so save yourself the time and feel confident that these guys are the real deal.

Before my move on December, I researched many moving companies. The stellar reviews for First Wave Van Lines kept them at the top of my list. They also had (in my opinion) good prices.

We reserved a 26 foot truck and 3 movers. We moved out of a 2-story, 2400 square foot house into another 2-story large house. We also added a stop to a storage unit for my daughter’s furniture.

One of the movers was in charge/lead guy. He was amazing. He explained everything, ensured our furniture was wrapped expertly, and carried gently. He made sure that any worries we had were put to rest. The other two movers- were wonderful. This team never stopped moving…up and down stairs, heavy items, a million boxes were all perfectly loaded into the truck. It was such a relief to have this team help us.

At our new home, they made sure to place every piece of furniture in the exact spot we wanted. They did not leave until everything was perfect.

If you want a professional team who will treat your home and furniture like their own, schedule this company. Highly recommend!

My wife and I just moved from our home of almost thirty years. I don’t write reviews, but had to do so for this one. First Wave Van Lines did an amazing job of making sure the move went smoothly and uneventfully. From start to finish the service provided was outstanding. I called FIrst Wave Van Lines and he came to our home to provide an accurate estimate. He showed up on time and was a pleasure to deal with. We opted for the pack and move option where First wave van lines sent its crew to the house the day before the move to pack our belongings. They made sure our possessions were carefully packed to prevent breakage. The next day — the day of the move — They returned and moved our possessions to the new house. I could not have asked for a better experience.

A move is typically a very stressful event, particularly when moving from a home of almost thirty years. First wave van lines helped make this a very pleasant experience.

I searched around for the best value for my money and First wave van lines didn’t disappoint! I had to move from a storage unit to a townhouse and they made it so easy. Super fast and efficient. The movers powered through it and got it done. I appreciate their help and how well they took care of my belongings.

Definitely recommend to anyone needing movers. Thank You First Wave Van Lines

What a great company. So easy to work with. First, the communication was excellent all the way through the process — from inquiring about the move, to booking it, to getting notified when they were on their way. The movers actually showed up a little early and were so kind, so professional, and really good. The owners and the movers were also really great about helping me solve a problem caused by a previous mover who lost some parts to put a piece of furniture together. Thank you!
