About us

Victory's origins date back to 1928 when our founders started Federal Storage Company of Washington, D.C. About 20 years later, in 1945, Victory Van Corporation was founded, and the two corporations, although independent, worked closely together until 1963 when Federal merged with another company. Victory has grown to become a diversified relocation and storage specialist, serving your domestic and international needs in the fields of air, sea, road and rail movement.

Excellent. Our household goods arrived on-time and undamaged. Kudos to their estimator, Paul Carter, who did a much more thorough job than his competitors and gave Victory the advantage in aggressively pricing their services.

Had 2 trucks. 1 was 30 mins late and the other 3 hours late. Admin team was terrible at communicating and couldn't locate the 2nd truck for a couple hours. 2nd truck was late because the driver/supervisor had personal car issues, Admin tried to say it was the truck but he admitted that it was his personal car. As the supervisor wouldn't you think it would be responsible for calling and letting us know where you are and why you are late or at least when you will be there? Apparently he didn't think he should communicate directly with us bc he didn't. Only recommend if you want bad communication and movers arriving late. I was upset about the first truck being 30 mins late didn't realize that I was lucky they came when they did because the other truck...yikes SMH. See photo of the 2nd truck arriving at 10:56am

they did our moving /storage , supposed to come at 9AM , arrived at 3PM with a small truck, where as we needed 2 big trucks. Finally another truck came, as one was small, they had to squeeze everything, they were at our house until 10pm. Delaying us from cleaning up our house for next day closing. Such a nightmare. they had to deliver our stuff to new house after few days , so we had to use storage facilities. And unloading was another nightmare, again came late , and didn't come with all the stuff, they came with half the stuff, and didn't had clue what was going on. only 2 people came , with damaged furniture(due to all squeezed furniture was badly damaged), the workers who came to unload were very rude, lazy and dropped stuff on our floor, damaged floor of our new house. other half of the furniture came 2 days later. Again same rude lazy guys. I think they sun contract the unloading part, to other contractors, and those guys don't have a any clue. Stay away from this company. There is no need to go through this nightmare after spending thousands of dollars. All you will end with damaged furniture. Only reason we went with them is they were owned by "Allied ", thought as they are big company, will do a better job. Lesson learned.
Response from Victory Van Corporation - Allied Van lines

"Hi Member, I apologize for the delayed response, I had to pull and review your file from archives since your move was in 2014. I am sorry to hear that the move did not take place to your satisfaction. Looking over the notes in the file, when we checked in with you on load day; you confirmed the crew was doing a great job. Based on the file, it appears the crew was done loading by 7:00pm. Yes, that is a little later than expected, but we did complete the move out well before 10:00pm. You are correct in regards to the delivery being done over two days when it should have been one. This was an error on our end and a miscommunication with logistics on our end. We do strive to have ever move be as seamless as possible, at times mistakes can be made. I hope that you take our apologies for the logistical issues we had relating to your move and I welcome anymore feedback. Thank you,"

I first used Victory Vans in 2007 and had a very positive experience and decided to use them again with this bigger and more complicated move. The crew they sent to pack our things was very professional and very careful. They put all of our packed items ultimately into large wooden crates to go into storage. I then called them when we sold our condo and had bought a house and they were able to work with my schedule to get everything delivered. There was one small hiccup on timing coming from storage to the house on the actual day but it was resolved and the crew was really great. They treated all our belongings with respect and took the time to place the big items where we wanted them. Getting an estimate was a good process - they sent Neal out to do the estimate and explain the process since I had never put things like that into storage before between moves. Neal was very professional and responsive. I then worked with Stephanie who managed the move from there and she was also very responsive. She checked in both moving days to see how things were going which was helpful. 
Response from Victory Van Corporation - Allied Van lines

"Hi member! Thank you for reviewing our services; it was a pleasure handling your move. We appreciate your continued trust in Victory to be your preferred mover. I am happy to hear that we were able to quickly resolve the timing issue with the move out day. Best of luck in your new home. Stephanie"

It did not go well. The service provider in question told me that I would need four movers to move less than 20 items like end tables and chairs and charge 670.00 to move me to a 2 bedroom apartment five miles away. There were no boxes that needed to be moved at all. This service provider did not even acknowledge my Angies list coupon for his services. I used another company before and they were going to charge me just for 400.00 and only need two movers. I would not recommend this provider
Response from Victory Van Corporation - Allied Van lines

"Hi Member, Thank you for taking the time to review our company. I am sorry to hear that you were disappointed with the survey that was completed. I looked over the survey that was done and it was recommended that we use three movers vs. the two purchased on the coupon. Our local move minimum consists of three men for four hours. I would be happy to check to see if an exception can be made to only use the two man crew. Please feel free to message me though here or contact me at 240-912-8520. Thank you, Stephanie"

The packers were excellent, they worked fast and thoroughly.  Nothing was broken.
The movers were efficient and very helpful. They were professional.
We had one incident in which a sofa didn't fit into basement. There was wall damage and some damage to sofa.  The cost of repairs was covered promptly by insurance.

We tried calling them back multiple times to negoiate but typically could not get someone on the phone and needed to wait for a callback.  Callbacks typically took 2 day.s
Response from Victory Van Corporation - Allied Van lines

"Hi Member, Thank you for taking the time to write your review and I apologize that we were not able to service your move. The Big Deal that you purchased applied to local moves only, even though you were moving a short distance away, it is still considered as an interstate move which is priced differently. It was also purchased before contacting our offices to inquire about the deal and confirming our availability to properly service your relocation, especially since you were planning to do your move within 5 days of your 1st contact with our company during the peak season for moving companies. Again, I apologize that we were not able to service your move and the Big Deal has been refunded back. Please feel free to call me directly if you have any other questions. Thank you, Stephanie"

The crew that was sent was excellent.  They wasted no time and handled each of our items as if it was their own. Thery were on time and efficient. The whole experience was outstanding from the estimate, to the scheduling of the move, to the move itself. We will recommend Victory Van to all of our friends and will use them again.

We take great pride in ensuring the safe transportation of every piece we move. I am confident that the relocation will continue to go smooth until the final destination. Thank you, Stephanie"

They had to get everything to the right place. In the meantime, I was running back and forth between the two cities, doing renovations of the houses, so they're moved in at the right time. It worked out very, very well. These people were very organized. They were supposed to pick our furniture up on October 15th, which they did. I had gotten very sick and was not going to make the deadline of packing my own stuff. So I called them the day before and told them I was going to need extra help, and they were there the next morning. They were very helpful and very organized. Everything occurred exactly as they said it would and cost exactly what they said it would. My father had a dreadful experience with a mover, so I was quite fretful about my stuff being moved. But they did excellent work and exactly what they said they were going to do. We're pleased with them.

Mostly, move went well. A couple of items were damaged and the subjects of insurance claims. However, considering the large size of the move, damage was altogether light.

Everything went well with the job.  The packers were inefficient in the packing.  As we were emptying boxes, we came across many that seemed to have much less in them than could have fit.  This made for more boxes in our move than were necessary.  This was minor in comparison of the services of the crew that did the loading and unloading of the moving van.  We were very impressed with the lead, Stephen, and with the crew.  When the work in completed on our new home, we will definitely contact this driver for a quote to move our things out of storage.

"Hi member, Thank you for taking the time to write a review as well as allowing us to handle your recent relocation. I am glad to hear that everything with your loading/ delivery of your items went well. I understand there was some mix-up with that Mike told you originally for payment vs. what the policy is when your move coordinator went over it with you. She did bring this to our sales directors’ attention for follow up to ensure that everyone is providing the same accurate information. I will also share the packing concerns with operations for proper follow up with the crews. If you need anything in the future or would like us to handle the delivery of your items out of storage, feel free to contact our offices. Thank you, Stephanie"

The staff was punctual and highly professional.  the only knock was that the mover became more careless and rushed at the end of the move.  Some slight damage to some storage items and one door was not replaced.  These were very minor in the scope of the large move.  We were very happy overall and rate as the best of our 4 previous moves.

Once the work was completed they told me I owed an additional $172 for fuel and travel time. That was not what was stated in the Big Deal offer. I made the payment in cash at the time of completion. Stephanie from Victory Van stated that she discussed the terms with Angie's List. I feel this is deceptive business practice. I received an invoice from Victory Van for the amount of $499 as well dated 1/9/2015 which I had already paid through Angie's List. 

When they got there, they were straightening up the truck etc. I felt they were doing things that should have been done before they got there. I called the office and expressed my concerns since I had paid for an hourly service. The crew wouldn't even talk to me after the office relayed the information. They added an additional 30 minutes on to the time frame to make up for it and after a while it was fine.
Response from Victory Van Corporation - Allied Van lines

"Member, Thank you for the time to provide us feedback as well as allowing us to handle your recent relocation. I am glad we were able to service your move upon your request of a next day move. When I was speaking with you as well as our other contact I did go over how the big deal can be used. It could be used as 3 hours of labor plus the 1 hour of travel time (covered in the 4 hours of the big deal that you purchased) or you could use the full 4 hours of labor and pay for the additional hour of travel time. Once that was finalized we determined that you would pay for any difference in cash once the move was actually completed and you saw how much time the move took. The move took 4 hours of labor (which was the estimated time), leaving the travel time difference. When we were discussing payment we determined that all was well and you were happy with how well the crew did. We even took care of an extra stop as you were unable to find a company to pick-up the items you wanted to donate. I hope that you are settling into your new home well and the new year is treating you well. If you need anything in the future or have any other questions I can help answer for you, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you, Stephanie"

   I contacted 3 moving companies-United Van, Allied, and Mayflower. United put me off entirely-they didn't even want to do an estimate until mid January. Mayflower couldn't seem to understand my needs or have any suggestions about how to handle this complicated move. Allied Van Lines sent me Paul Skolaski of Victory Van Corporation. Our initial phone conversation was very helpful. Paul immediately grasped my needs and made several suggestions about how to handle 2 separate shipments. At the appointment for an estimate he came prepared with all the information I needed, including storage costs. He made accurate estimates for both shipments and gave me preparation tips. Since I was arranging the move but my parents in Ohio were paying, contracts had to be emailed to both of us, signed and returned. Both my father and I had trouble with our printers that day and Paul was patient throughout.

   The boxes went one day and the furniture the next. Both crews were friendly and professional-hard workers who packed and loaded my possessions with care. They communicated well and understood my need to move my 15 year old dog around as they worked. I received calls from the move coordinator, Stephanie Hopkins, and from Paul Skolaski during both move days, as well as a followup call.

    I was a military wife for 19 years and have had some really bad moves that lasted well into the night. I am disabled and quite frankly this move scared me. It shouldn't have-Victory Van had everything under control.

Moving can be stressful, especially when you are handling a move for someone else but I am glad you trusted us to fulfill your moving needs. Communication is a priority for us to ensure that we are doing our best and providing you the best service.

"Hi member, Thank you for taking the time to write a review about our company. At times during the summer heat it is not uncommon that crews need to work slower and take additional breaks. When loading items onto a truck it can get very hot, sometimes reaching over 130 degrees inside. I apologize that we did not make it back out to pick up the boxes but I am glad to hear you were able to recycle them. The summer months are very busy but your calls should have been returned and answered. I hope you are settling into your new home with ease and if you have any other questions please do not hesitate to contact us. Thank you, Stephanie"

"Hi there! Thank you for taking the time to write a review and most importantly allowing us to handle your relocation. I know moving can be a stressful time for everyone involved. I apologize that we did not make the pickup day that we originally agreed too. We base our schedule around what is required to handle the move in a timely matter as well as the number of crew members needed. At times, unforeseen mechanical or personnel issues can happen which causes a schedule issue that we do not plan for. We value all customers so I am glad to hear that our discount was able to offset some of the stress and issues with the original date.

The headquarters communication with the customer was terrible.  They gave inaccurate information. Part of my furniture was missing 5-6 days.  They kept telling me it was on another truck.  No one could ever say where it was. The driver and movers were very good, no problems with the movers.
Response from Victory Van Corporation - Allied Van lines

"Hi member, Thank you for taking the time to write a review and most importantly allowing us to handle your relocation. I am sorry to hear that you felt our communication was not as great as it should have been, given the circumstances of your shipment I am inclined to agree with you. Your shipment had what is called an overflow, where not everything fit on the truck that was assigned to haul. Since we did not plan for this, we had to send the small amount that could not fit via our express program. I would like to offer my apologies as your move coordinator because I was not aware of the overflow until the day before your driver arrived to deliver your shipment. Standard practice is for the driver to call the office and make customer service aware so we can explain to you the next steps. That did not happen on our end which started the miscommunication. When it was brought to my attention I took action right away and was able to let you know that your items would be leaving our office in the next day via a 3rd party carrier to get the remaining items to you as fast as possible. I kept in contact with you everyday to provide you the most accurate and up to date information as it was available to me. When the shipment arrived to the local agency it was scheduled to be delivered to you the next. Given the holiday you moved over we were able to get your remaining shipment to you as fast as possible with a minimal delay. Please accept my sincere apologies for any problems or extra stress that the delay, moving is stressful and it is never our intention to cause you any extra stress during this time. If you need anything please do not hesitate to contact me directly. Thank you, Stephanie"
