THIS RATING IS OUTDATED. FOR MORE RECENT RATINGS OF THIS COMPANY PLEASE SEE COMMENTS BELOW.

North America Moving Systems, USDOT#1621264

Safety Of Use Rating: NOT RATABLE
(see how we calculate SOUR)



From their website www.northamericamovingsystems.com:


  • This company is independent (not an agent for any major van lines).
  • Licensing information: not specified
  • Services offered: local, long distance, commercial.
  • Contact Information: phones: (866) 915-8777, address: 862 Newark Avenue Suite 104, Jersey City, NJ 07306
  • Members of: not specified.
Their website looks very generic, the images of trucks with their logo look very "photoshopic".

From Safersys.org:

This company seems to be very young, just few month in business (or appears to be in business).

Safersys.org reveals the following information:
  • Licensing info: US DOT #1621264, MC #598789
  • Trucks: 1.
  • Phones: (646) 271-4619
  • Office location: 862 Newark Avenue Suite 104, Jersey City, NJ 07306
  • The information in the Safersys.org report indicates that this company still does not have license (application pending), and they do not have insurance on file! (required $750,000). This company is not authorized yet to do moves.
  • Inspections section shows there were no inspections for this company.
From Better Business Bureau:

We could not locate their file in BBB, probably because this company is too young.


From other sources:
  • MovingScam.com: no mentioning of that company on MovingScam.com
  • ConsumerAffairs.com: no mentioning of that company on ConsumerAffairs.com
  • RipOffReport.com: no mentioning of that company on RipOffReport.com
  • Complaints.com: no mentioning of that company on Complaints.com
  • Epinions.com: no mentioning of that company on Epinions.com
  • Other Sources: no other mentioning of that company found elsewhere.

Summary:

This company seems to be very young, and therefore we cannot give it any rating for now. Also, they don't have license and insurance, so legally they are not allowed to do any moves.

I would strongly recommend you to move on with your search.


I would recommend you to do some more shopping arround to see what other companies have to offer. You can get few quotes from several long distance movers right here. In any case, never book with a company that did not perform a visual estimate in your house and did not give you a flat price for your move. Also, check this thread to learn How to find a good moving company.




Good luck with your move,

    After checking withthe BBB, and not realizing your website existed, we booked a move with this company. What a mistake! They charged a $75 fee to go up stairs to pick up my furniture, a fee which was not disclosed previously. Then, they tried to charge $500 to bubble wrap the furniture- again not disclosed to me. They now have my furniture over 3 weeks, and still will have not delivered it to me. Latest excuse is that the truck has broken down again! I called their office 18 times, asking for a return call, and not once has the call been returned. Do not use this company!!!!!

    NO! NO! NO! NO!
    Do not use this company! North America Moving Systems is a complete disaster and should be avoided at all costs. Their customer service is beyond bad (they do not return phone calls and are constantly firing employees, so there is no continuity and record keeping of client conversations/information). They were days late on both pickup and delivery, with no advance notice or follow up calls. After the missed delivery, they subsequently promised and missed two more delivery dates. The office staff and dispatcher were rude, unprofessional and completely unreliable.
    DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!
