In March 2008 I hired Wade Odell, a United Van Lines agent in Midland Park, NJ, to move me from Lyndhurst NJ to Denver CO. I interviewed 4 movers and specifically choose Wade Odell due to their affiliation with United Van Lines. The movers arrived a day and a half days late. They did not call, I had to call them several times. The truck that arrived was a Mayflower truck, not a United truck (I specifically hired United not Mayflower). I was not informed Mayflower would be transporting my belongings and would not have agreed to it. As my belongings were unloaded, I noticed the boxes were extremely dirty, damaged, crushed, upside down or ripped open, some of my furniture was not wrapped and was dirty, and my television was completely broken. There were a total of 18 broken and 7 missing items (some of which are not replaceable, they were wedding gifts or bought on vacation). I immediately contacted Wade Odell and left several messages. They did not return my calls for 3 weeks and when they did they were extremely rude. I finally received a one page claim form for 10 items, sent it in and have not been contacted by Wade Odell. Wade Odell did a bait and switch by sub contracting my move to another carrier without my consent, they transferred my belongings on multiple trucks and have provided no customer service. Do not use United Van Lines or Wade Odell for your next move.
