  From start to finish (Fairbanks, AK to Montana) everything went like clockwork, and I couldn’t be happier. Initially though, I was preparing for the worst after having survived several bad military moves. Moving is never an enjoyable experience no matter how you want to look at it. But Golden North Van Lines at least made it pleasant. I would like to offer a special shout-out to Ms. Shawn Shine. This lady was just incredible. In my humble opinion, she alone warranted the five-star review. She was very instrumental in alleviating most of our concerns because she kept us informed every single step of the way. It didn’t matter how many times we called, or the amount of questions that we asked; she always treated us with an enviable level of grace. I even told her over the phone, that we considered ourselves fortunate to have had her as our agent. And when all was said and done...we were. Thank you Golden North Van Lines and to everyone involved in our move as well. William C. Golden North handled a very complicated move for us. 3200 sq ft house, with 40 years of furniture, dishes, glassware, china, lamps, clothing, one automobile, etc., being sent to three locations - town in Seattle and one in Los Angeles. The Golden North crew packed everything. 105 boxes by the time they were done. They were thoroughly professional, and took pains to protect hardwood floors and walls. Everything . . . and I mean EVERYTHING . . . arrived where and when it was supposed to and not a thing arrived with so much as a crack or dent. On delivery, items were unpacked and packing material hauled away. The move was executed perfectly. The administrative support was equally well handled. Brenda was attentive, kept us in the loop, and emailed us at each stage to tell us where things were and what would happen next. The entire staff was focused on making this happen right and the succeeded marvelously. Although I had never heard of Golden North before this experience, I recommend them highly and without any reservation. These folks know what they're doing. We successfully moved from Juneau to Anchorage with the excellent support from Brenda and her team at GSA. It was a very professional yet personal experience. Brenda really cares and she shows it by responding promptly to phone calls and emails and going the extra mile to find solutions. Our move was complicated by a remodel in our destination home and Brenda worked with us to hold onto our items long enough to let the contractors finish up. She regularly called throughout the process to check in and it felt like she was right there with us! The moving team in Juneau World-Wide Movers--with Gil and his crew--are the hardest working guys you will ever meet. They come in and pack everything up with care--and they get the job done. They are professional, no nonsense people. Beside all of that, they are seriously strong. Wow! On the final leg, the GSA moving crew showed up right on time on moving-in day. They were professional, friendly, easy-going guys who will work with you to make sure everything goes where it needs to go and to reassemble furniture. Great team! Overall, amazingly positive experience. Thank you GSA. Moving is stressful but you all made it the least stressful move of our lives. Keep up the good work! Packing and the move was really easy and professional! Such a stress reliever! Incredibly efficient from start to finish. Brenda did a great job arranging all the logistics and the packers were quick and did a great job insuring that all my goods made it from Cordova to Montana in one piece. They even packed up 10 cases of smoked salmon and they made it here without a single jar breaking! Thank you!
