Once completed, the form is forwarded to the company and one of the representatives contacts you within the following 24 hours to provide you with an estimate and to discuss additional moving details.

What’s the catch?

US Standard Van Lines is still a moving brokerage company that is more interested in coordinating moves than handling them. So, you are dealing with a mediator between you and the actual moving company, which can be vexing for some people. Also, this is not a company that will take on smaller local moving jobs – only long distance or large-scale moves.
