Why Choose United Van Lines?



In 1983, United Van Lines pioneered a "commitment to excellence", which, in
subsequent years, has gone far beyond the much-publicized but fleeting "excellence" promotions of many major corporations. Today, United's five-step Quality Service Process is the result of input from customers, United agents, the van line's World Headquarters employees and van operators. It is unique in the household goods moving industry in terms of both longevity and comprehensiveness.

It is no coincidence that, since United formally introduced quality emphasis,
it has advanced to become the nation's largest household goods moving company, more that doubling its business while its competitors were losing ground.

United Van Lines is known throughout the moving industry for its extensive consumer literature library. Each booklet has been written to meet specific customer needs and interests.
The following booklets can be obtained free of charge from

Pre-Planning with the help of United Van Lines.
Talk over moving plans with your knowledgeable United Van Lines agent, Colony Moving and Storage. In addition to assisting with the move itself, they can also provide you with a Community
Profile of the new city and state. The profile includes information on topics such as geography, climate, taxes, auto and driver's licenses, education, utilities and transporation.

Another helpful resource for moving information is United Van Line's website.
Besides moving tips, the site also explains how you can track your shipment from the old home to the new one using United's NetTrac System.

Packing.
Good packing is essential to a good move. Unless your belongings are properly prepared before they are loaded on the van, the risk of damage is greatly increased.

Our skilled packers do a professional job of setting your household goods ready for moving. They have the know-how, experience, equipment and materials needed for maximum protection.

Specially designed containers are used for such items as crystal, china, lampshades and books. Closet-size wardrobes help keep your clothing fresh, clean and wrinkle-free.

One of the nice things about a United move is what you DON'T get.
We think its important to keep your belongings fresh. That's why we treat our vans with the exclusive Sanitized treated process. The result: an environment free from mildew, mold, insects and unpleasant odors. In addition, we'll protect your upholstered furniture with ClearGuard, a clear plastic material similiar to cellophane, before we wrap it with furniture pads. Best of all, there is no
extra charge for these extra services.
