46.107.222Smooth Move to CA
I've just had the greatest moving experience with Allied Van Lines. I hired them to transfer my apartment and car from MI to CA, and everything went incredibly smoothly. They put everything on the van, supplied the extra boxes, the tape, and the packaging material. The movers wouldn't let me raise a finger to support them, feeling odd, but talking to their professionalism. The movers treated my belongings carefully and took stock of every package to ensure that nothing was lost. They've also had regular contact with me as they've been driving my stuff all over the country, and my things have arrived sooner than scheduled. I strongly recommend Allie Van Lines for any move you might need!! Worth the money!
Best move ever!!
I want the whole of the United States to know what a wonderful move I've had with Allied Van Lines. I've relocated from Clearwater, FL, to Reno, Nevada. The driver, Chrys Reisz, and his son were the most powerful loaders I've ever seen before. They handled all my treasures with great care. Being an ex-military for 26 years, I've had a lot of transfers, some bad, some good, but this was the best.
Definitely would hire them again!
I'd use Allied again. They moved my 5 bedroom house across the county without any harm. They were on schedule and on the budget. Typically, the only people who have been un-happy post review. I'm so glad. The driver was a knowledgeable man, and his aid was dressed in uniform. They carried out a thorough inventory and made sure that everything was accounted for. If I had to make a different decision, I would have preferred them.
Amazing move!
The driver and his wife were a really good team! They packed all my things, were incredibly professional and met all my additional requirements. I was extremely happy with their service and the business, and they also accommodated my late arrival in Washington. The best move I've ever had is to highly recommend Coleman American Moving Services serving Allied Van Lines!
Great moving company
Allied has done a fine job. They turned up on the day of pickup, as promised, and on time. Their employees have been very patient and competent in packing our things. They had to unload and store our goods because there was no delivery truck available for a few days, so they did all of it at no cost to us and at a great cost to them. At the end of the delivery, the driver called ahead as promised and arrived right on schedule.Again, the employees were very cautious with our things and very quick, too. We were very pleased with the contact and the price, which ended up being lower than the estimate after the load was weighed. If you need to move a long distance, trust Allied. This is the second time we've used them, and they've been happy both times.
Do not hire the company
It was a mistake to go with Allied right from the start. I went with them because they agreed that they would deliver on one of the few days I had opened with my new job. After they loaded everything from my building, I got an email telling me they would arrive later than expected. It was a rainy day when they unloaded. They didn't have anything to place on the floor to keep track of the mud all over my carpet. They ended up smashing two dressers, a headboard, and a bed frame. The whole process was terrible, and the service representative I worked with was rude.
Issues with an agent
The problem was with the sincerity of the agent when it came to transporting a car to our household goods in the same van. We suspect the agent has misinterpreted how the car will be transported and declined to speak, hiding behind a bidding deal. For details of the lease, see attached PDF file: "Allied Van Lines Complaint."
Waiting for a solution
Our delivery deadline has passed and they now quote delivery 2 to 3 weeks after the expected delivery date. We were not informed that our load would be moved from a truck to a truck (and possibly kept at a Washington DC facility) and we were not advised in advance by oral or written means that trans-shipment or delay could/would occur. I've had to call a couple of times to find out the info, and they haven't returned the enquiry calls I made. I never lived on the fact that I was 88 years old, a Korean veteran, with Parkinson's disease. There's no way to handle a customer. Assuming we finally get our belongings, it will take an act of God for us to once again use or even suggest Allied services.
My personal experience
Forrest McGully, the truck driver, was the best! He was on schedule, tried to deliver earlier than expected, but was unable to do so due to the scheduling of the refrigerated elevator. But I would recommend him to make that move. He knew all his things. We gave a thumb up to the packers. Not a good idea. Wait and post in the ranking. The packers on the El Paso side were both competent and courteous. They haven't done a complete/efficient job. They forgot/did not pack a lot of things. We were going to have to contact the REP to send other packers. We also packed a couple of items. Not much of it was broken, sadly, however, one of my sentimental possessions, a ceramic giraffe was broken at the leg. It was wrongly packed. They were genuine, nothing had been stolen. Our Sup Building. He said he saw a lot of transfers, but he never saw a messier team of movers. While they cleaned up after themselves, the mover was quite unorganized. Some of the movers really knew their angles, and they knew their things. Some of them were not as alert. The expense of Allied was a decent one, and the job was done. I felt like we were forgotten until we signed on the dotted line. The customer support before signing up was really attentive. After signing, I thought that the attitude was "to poor, too sad" that your problem wasn't mine. All in all, the transfer went well.
Move from TX to AZ
The team showed up early and picked up my things within five hours. The price was comparable with the other companies; however, they were able to provide a quicker turn-around time from pick-up to delivery. Our goods arrived without any damage. Overall, a good done job.
