I can’t say enough… from start to finish, class company. Frank, our driver, was with us from start to finish, the 1200 miles A++++ They remained in excellent communication with us, from initial booking to destination. The care they took with our items was impressive, and absolutely everything arrived intact. We would recommend them to everyone looking for a moving company. Bar none.

I contracted with Allied for an Express move with a guaranteed delivery date. The original guaranteed date I was very given by the Move Coordinator who came to my residence to give me an estimate never made it onto the paperwork. The written guaranteed delivery date passed and no one could tell me when my delivery would be made. I was in contact with Allied daily. The day my delivery happened, I was given a 20-minute notice before they showed up. Two pieces of furniture were broken and unusable. The pickup date for my car was missed; the move coordinator forgot to file the paperwork. When the driver arrived to pick up the car, I was contacted and asked to meet him. I was in another state by then, so clearly that was not possible. The car arrived 2 weeks late.

Delayed, split move, crushed boxes, upside down boxes, broken items, broken furniture. Pick up was Aug 9, stored until they found a driver, we were not informed, delivery was Aug 19. Driver came back two days later to deliver big screen TV and a picture box he found that was missed! Second shipment was picked up Aug 19, we were not informed until the day before delivery (Aug 24) that it hadn’t even left California! The move is to Florida.

The driver was sick (COVID), arrived 2 1/2 hrs late. First crew left. More people came in droves because of lateness. Driver sat in truck; no supervision. Delivery was a day late with new driver. Everything was rushed. Broken furniture and box contents because of poor packing. Unloading ruined some boxes. Furniture not reassembled properly. We’ve moved 18 times over 40 years. Hands down, this was the worst. We will tell anyone who asks to avoid Allied/Coleman.

We have used Allied for all of our residential moves since 2005. This last move will be the last time we use Allied. In June 2022, we contracted for 2 moves from our home in MO: half to SC and half to a new place in MO. We also contracted for help moving donations to the Salvation Army. As can happen, some of our items were damaged during the move to the new place in MO. We filed a small claim for those damaged items.
Our move to SC was much more problematic. The truck arrived at the distribution center in SC, but they did not have the staff to move our items to our home. They told us they could not complete the move on time and would deliver two weeks later. As Allied reps were aware at the time of contract, my husband would be flying down to meet the movers on the contracted dates and could not stay for an additional 2 weeks since he had to get back to MO to meet the other moving team. In addition to expenses for getting down to SC, we paid Allied close to $2000 for the local move in SC. Because of Allied’s failure to perform, we had to hire movers in SC to complete our move.
To date, Allied has not refunded the $2000 nor have they reimbursed us for the cost of hiring our own movers. Also luckily, we had nothing too fragile in the move to SC because the boxes were in terrible shape. Further, Allied DENIED 2 claims for the MO move damage. They denied our claim for a broken TV because Allied claimed they did not pack it (even though they did and we paid for it) and for a torn couch (they claim it was torn before the move-it was not). Allied bases for the denials are codes written on the inventory sheet by the moving team. Codes that happen to indicate EVERY piece of our furniture they moved was either already scratched, badly worn or torn (need I say not true) before they moved them. Countless calls to customer service have gone unanswered. This has truly been so incredibly frustrating and unexpected. I cannot recommend them.

Professional accurate estimate, given by Coleman, the virtual estimate process was easy and seem less. Packing and moving team were awesome. Again professional, hardworking, clean, respectful, honest and nothing damaged or broken or lost. Continuous corporate follow up through the moving process to ensure we were happy with the move. Highly recommended.

I recently had a semi-long distance move. I was shocked when the company sent 60-70 year old men to move my family's large furniture and many boxes. Right away the movers complained about having to move heavy furniture down multiple sets of steps, but this was well known to the company when they sent out a rep for the quote. The guys were overall quite nice, but had complained on multiple occasions about how much stuff we have -- which was embarrassing. They were paid to do the job, so we did not appreciate some of their unprofessional commentary. It was not our fault the company didn't send younger men to help with the arduous move.
However, everything was moved quickly and without any damage. I would use the company again but they need to better assess who they send to help move. If I have heavy furniture that needs to go down many sets of steps, perhaps someone younger would have been better. I left furniture behind because the movers couldn't take it down the steps.

Cross-country move from Atlanta, GA to Los Angeles, CA. Movers in GA arrived late, left behind a box on another floor of the building discovered after they left, poor communication with office in Atlanta regarding this issue. I am shipping it myself. Date range of 7/19 to 7/30 for delivery given but movers arrived in CA with no notice (supposed to get at least 24 hours notification). Driver had unprofessional attitude, poor communication. Lost items include dining room table legs, platform bed frame legs, damage included stains on sofa, and mattress, broken high-end lamp base, gouges on bed frame and bookcase. Now without dining table and a creaking and not stable bedframe while waiting for resolution of repair or settlement from Allied and told they can take 120 days.

See my email showing how we were treated by Allied, they left a box inside the closet and refused to deliver it, they broke a dresser and damaged the mechanism to handle the mattresses.

Regrettably, I used Coleman/Allied Van Lines for my out-of-state move in June 2022. Overall, the experience was nightmarish and traumatic. More specifically, it was characterized by: 1) a lack of consistent and clear communication from the outset regarding my exact delivery date; 2) a failure to provide timely updates after my “pack, load, and haul” confirmed by David ** on June 9th unexpectedly changed into a “pack and load” on June 16th less than a week before my scheduled move; 3) a failure to adhere to the delivery date of June 24th confirmed on June 10th by David V. The shipment arrived July 12th, seventeen days late; 4) damaged leather and handcrafted solid wood furniture along with other items; 5) and a stolen television.
The final cost was $6,441.71 for services poorly rendered in the form of a seventeen-day delay and damaged and missing items. I am relieved that this ordeal with Coleman American/Allied Van Lines is over. I would never recommend this detestable, unscrupulous moving company to any shipper. The experience was a nightmare and the ultimate cost was high. The anxiety, frustration, regret all negatively impacted my health and overall well-being. Next time, I will choose a mover who will honor the terms of the signed agreement, who will work with trained, experienced movers, and who will be both ethical and reliable. To be sure, I will choose better. Good luck with your move and choose wisely.

It started with the 3 gentlemen who picked up my furniture and household items. 2 hrs late and 1 was not suppose to be lifting. Never met driver like I was told I would when I signed contract. My stuff was sent to warehouse where it sat for a month before a driver could pick up. My coordinator never called me about delays and when I called her she had no info about my shipment. Lost a stool and was 17 days late with delivery. The whole experience was a 2 on the scale of 1-5. What I was told would happen if I chose Allied really never happened.

A bit of inexperience for the help that was sent. My 65" TV that didn't get crated was attempted to be wrapped in just a moving pad with the stand still attached before I said something and brown wrapped it basically myself. Finding stuff broken such as my desktop monitor that was packed in a 4.5 carton with barely any extra packing paper for protection or support and not labeled correctly enough for loading properly in preventing this matter. Most of boxes were soft topped and wrinkled/smushed. There was no help sent for the driver at my temporary living residence so I was helping haul stuff in or the driver was carrying things by himself; which in turn led to more damage when a ceiling fan globe was shattered from it. The customer service was very good and everyone was nice and they took care of me otherwise, but I am nervous to see how everything that went into storage fares out to be honest.

In my opinion, Allied Van Lines does not put their emphasis on doing what is best for the customer. I was not told they would need to send a shuttle for the initial pick-up. Loading the shuttle initially meant my things were handled multiple times before getting on the delivery truck. Because Allied accepted more moves than they have trucks, the driver of my load had to disassemble much of my furniture as well as unpacked multiple boxes, exposing items to breakage, in order to fit my things on the truck. The crew who loaded my things on the initial shuttle truck were very unprofessional and their work ethic was sloppy. I felt they did not respect my things. They were not careful and diligent as they worked. The office personnel were very efficient and communicated well. I had expected to receive a similar experience with the movers, but I did not.

I was promised a phone call on Friday to let me know when my goods would be loaded on Monday. No call came and I could not reach anyone by email or phone all weekend. I finally reached someone Monday morning who mistakenly told me I was scheduled for Tuesday.

Also, a piece of my furniture was badly damaged during loading because an inexperienced employee picked up a large piece that should've been taken apart.

Highly do NOT recommend using Allied for any moves. When our things were delivered, a majority of our items had MOUSE POOP inside...even when we had perfectly sealed boxes with no food inside. Our belongings were in storage for less than a week, so the warehouse must be pretty dirty for this to happen. Further, when I tried contacting our customer service rep (Katie) about numerous issues she was unresponsive. I have 3 emails completely unanswered. Lastly, there are also missing pieces of belongings and one item was swapped completely. I hate to write this because the actual movers who came to my home were lovely, but everything else about the process has been very disappointing.

STAY FAR AWAY!! I really have no idea where to start. EVERYTHING went wrong. If you can picture the worst moving experience. That was it. One thing that I have to say is they used unrepeatable Spanish slang word among other derogatory words at my little sister thinking we didn't understand Spanish. Broke stuff, put gashes in the walls, were leaving and the place we moved into, most of them were sitting outside laughing rather than moving. Threw the furniture in one room on top of each other, they moved a table that had my gaming computer worth worth of 5k dropped it on the floor breaking it. They said they would bring boxes, they never did. Then said they would not take anything that was not in a box so they moved hardly anything. Luckily I had a Transit Van so we had move everything ourselves, it took up about 15 trips. They dumped all the clothes on the ground.
I refused to sign the piece of paper that they did the job and didn't damage any walls, because they did. He tried to get me to sign it right next to a huge gash they made. Then trying to call customer service was a joke. They just gave us attitude. They cost us worth of 20k in damages. Waiting to talk to someone about the job and try to deal with insurance, they started sneakily taking out small amounts of money when we found out we put a stop to it and now they are trying to take us to court. Moving is not a fun experience and they made it hell for my family so I am glad they want to go to court so we can counter sue them and they can hear my family's story. Oh and they came back from lunch impaired. I do think I could have let all this go but calling my little sister a ______I can't let it go. HORRIBLE.

I was very disappointed with my overall experience. My furniture was picked up on time and brought to a local warehouse to be loaded for a cross-country move. I had an 11-day delivery window and my furniture didn't leave the warehouse until after my guaranteed window, as in it sat in a warehouse for 17 days. My furniture arrived 5 days late and I was left paying rent for an unusable apartment, which Allied refused to reimburse me for because "the delay didn't prevent me from taking possession of my home". When you pay the cost for the higher-end moving company, I expect to at least receive good customer service and acknowledgment that they did a poor job.

My entire experience from Chris, the salesperson, to Gary and Dillon, the men who moved me, was just the most pleasurable experience that one could hope for while going through such a stressful transition. They were consistently pleasant despite some very challenging logistics and weather conditions, as well as totally professional and respectful of me, the two properties and my belongings. The men worked so hard and the price was also quite reasonable, considering all things they had to go through - heavy rain, mud and ice and shuttling my stuff in smaller trucks to the tractor trailers that were too large to come to either house. They basically had to move everything twice on both ends of the move! What a bear of a job! I hope I never have to move again but, if I do, I would try to secure the same company and certainly these same men. They were awesome!

We moved from Huntsville Alabama to Long Island NY in July of 2021. I was promised an expert crew in packing and that it would take two to three days to load and send the truck out. We made airline arrangements for ourselves according to this information so we could see the truck off properly. The crew that arrived was inexperienced and many items arrived damaged, wet and late. We had to incur the cost of changing flights back to NY two separate times. It took almost two weeks to receive our property.
They loaded two trucks in Alabama and then put everything on one truck to go to NY in a major rain storm. It was horrible, and what made it worse was we took the extra insurance and all they reimbursed us for was 350.00. No one ever explained we had to keep the damaged goods, we were told to take pictures and send them with the claim which we did. Because we did not have the actual damaged goods they would not honor the policy. Buyer beware for sure! We had a 5,000.00 almost brand new mattress that was water damaged just to name a few of the things that were ruined.

Allied picked up household 11/08/2021. Moving from Michigan to Georgia. Guaranteed delivery 11/12/2021 - 11/20/2021. After paying someone to be at new address for the guaranteed delivery dates, Allied was a no show, no call. After several phone calls and emails, the household was repacked in large boxes, put on common carrier and sent to local storage co in Georgia to have delivered. Goods finally showed up 12/22/2021. Hired Allied because they guaranteed no brokers or outside shipping and a guaranteed delivery date. Received none of the guarantees. Of course the shipping fee had to be paid in full before they would finally deliver. They also stated $100 per day late fee.

Allied contracted driver didn't work with us to create a customer check-off sheet as required so we did not have our own itemized inventory list of our belongings. Driver did not use his own inventory list because, "the guys at the Arkansas warehouse who helped were supposed to do it." Over a dozen of our containers were lost at that location. Most were returned several months later by another driver "as a favor" to our original driver, not because Allied was bothering to manage our crisis. What didn't make it back to us was our large electronics box with thousands of dollars worth of our computer equipment including our custom desktop PC, monitors and numerous other devices. Any idea why that might be? The guys "helping" at the Arkansas warehouse might.
Allied asked for itemized receipts of the contents, which we provided, totaling roughly $3K. They then said we couldn't prove that any of those things were in the boxes since we packed them ourselves and gave us $350. Do they think we should have trusted them to pack our things too? Our experience was horrifying. The only positive was our coordinator at the contracted company who tirelessly tried to help us, but ultimately couldn't recover our lost computer equipment. She had our bill cut in half, but we would rather pay full price and not lose sleep wondering who is violating our privacy and exploiting our amazing computer because Allied has no quality control for its drivers and evidently no effective theft prevention policies. I recommend avoiding Allied at all costs and deeply regret hiring them.

Dave ** was very professional. Unfortunately, someone at your end dropped the ball and couldn't get a truck for us even though you knew two months ahead of time when the move would be. As a result, we had to use a broker to find us a mover who turned out to be way less than professional. It cost us 2x what you estimated. I am a very dissatisfied non-customer. My ratings below are for Dave. I would give the company all zero stars.

Company was most concerned about getting paid the huge $14K bill. That’s what they did best. We paid for two days of packing and one for loading. But the packers showed up at 3 pm and left at 5:30 pm on day 1. On day 2 showed up at 2:30 and left at 6:30. We had to pack 75 boxes ourselves to be sure they could pack and load on day 3. They showed up at 11am and worked until 7:30pm, but got truck packed. The crew broke our toilet handle off, left their trash on our street, and ran over our street sign upon leaving, again not notifying anyone or fixing it. We’ve never been more tired and disappointed in a company and do not believe we got anywhere near the $14K in value for what we paid. The only positive is that our load was transferred to another truck and delivered to storage by a good driver, who communicated well, met me at storage as planned, and unloaded as expected. I would give him 5 stars.

Last month, my sister-in-law and brother-in-law moved from Florida to New York, and, due to health issues, were unable to oversee the move themselves. They contracted with Allied/Coleman and their salesman, Jeffery **, was extremely supportive throughout the process. Since their plan was to move to their new home ahead of all of their belongings, they asked me to be with the packers on packing day, and with the movers on loading day. The packers, Billy and Desiree, arrived on time, looked over the house, and immediately got set up to begin working. Nothing in the entire house had been packed, so they had their work cut out for them. They both worked nonstop, were fast and efficient, and still took great care with all of the items they had to pack. They were awesome!
The next day Darryl, the driver, arrived early along with two loaders. Darryl was experienced, friendly, and knowledgeable, and quickly made me feel comfortable about the process. He and the loaders did a great job wrapping the furniture in protective wrap, and loading all the furniture and boxes onto the truck. When the job was complete, Darryl went through all of the paperwork with me and again, I felt comfortable and not the least bit rushed. The truck arrived at its destination on the agreed date and no items were damaged in the move. I would highly recommend Allied/Coleman and especially the employees we were fortunate enough to deal with: Jeffery, Billy, Desiree, and Darryl. Thank you all!

Allied Van Lines/Reebie Storage and Moving of Chicago intentionally uses business practices that makes it impossible for them to be held responsible for missing goods. One-sided contracts are presented just before a scheduled move date, leaving the customer no option but to sign. Inventory and tracking are done in a manner which is unintelligible, using techniques that were obsolete 50 years ago. Bar codes are not used. UPS, Fedex and USPS track millions of packages; Allied/Reebie cannot track 300 boxes in a move. Customers are forced to sign for deliveries which they cannot verify.
Allied/Reebie will not cover the value of missing packed by owner boxes, claiming that they cannot list contents on the inventory since their people have not seen the contents. This is contrary to shipping practices of UPS, Fedex and USPS, where the shipper declares the contents and value. We paid them $14,600, of which $3,000 was for insurance. Over $3,000 of goods were not delivered but the claim was denied "since we had signed for them", but due to their inventory and tracking practices there was no way to verify what was not delivered.

There were nearly 30+ incidents that I had to reach out to customer service about, such as a mover not letting me know his mask broke and going maskless in my home (after informing the crew I have health conditions), a mover blowing his nose and not washing his hands afterward (I had to ask him to use hand sanitizer before touching my things), not notifying me when my items arrived in storage, losing 3 of my boxes, multiples boxes being crushed, my service provider in LA being switched without notifying me, not organizing or packing my immediate storage pick-up items correctly, and much more.
Coleman didn't even apologize when a supervisor reached out to me and left a voicemail and email. She also refused to give me any money back. I called back to express my dissatisfaction and asked if she could call me back so I could speak with her directly, but she has yet to reach back out. I also reached out to Allied corporate's customer service and was told I'd receive a response within 1 business day. It's been 3 business days and I haven't heard anything. I cannot recommend this company at all. The Allied moving company on the LA end even said that they don't like working with Coleman because of how it conducts its business.

I had Coleman Allied come to my house and make a thorough inventory of items to move from Lawrenceville, Ga to Austintown, Oh. Kelly ** went through the house and provided a quote on Nov 19, 2020. The quote was higher than others, but all seemed legit. We agreed the cost would be higher if the move happened after mid-May(busy season). About 10% increase. We paid for the BEST insurance available---full replacement cost for damages items. 9 months to submit claims if damage occurred. The "estimated" weight was 17,962 pounds!!
When we purchased a new home and sold the Georgia home, the price for the move in June was 20% higher than the earlier quote and 10% higher than the increase expected. We accepted, changed "packing date" and let Allied choose how many packers were needed--and they came and went over 3 days--and did NOT complete the packing--the Driver of the truck had to complete the packing on loading day.
Loading day was June 9, 2021 in Lawrenceville, Ga. Delivery day was June 15, 2021 in Austintown, Oh. The driver is a wonderful man, and I feel bad so much damage was generated during the loading and travel from Georgia to Ohio. But, something terrible happened during loading, during travel-- As items were unloaded carefully, damage of all sorts was observed and noted, and after completion and over the next 2 months as items were uncovered and unboxed and unwrapped--the CARNAGE was beyond comprehension.
I have counted about 85 "furniture" items including chairs, sofas, ottomans, desks, beds, dressers, stools, etc---and 26 of these items required professional repair or TOTAL REPLACEMENT!! Legs broken off, headboard and footboard spindles broken off, gouges and chips on edges and feet of furniture, scratches across tops and a TV stand demolished, an executive desk deemed totaled, a stand demolished and broken items packed pathetically.
I requested a claim of damage form and it was immediately sent and the FIRST claim was submitted about June 20, 2021-- a few days after unloading in Ohio. The first of MANY claims. The allied claims adjuster for our claims was/is Mya **. She spelled my last name incorrectly multiple times and often in e-mails let me know a claim was finished and "that is the end"---ignoring a 9 month window to file claims.
A wonderful Representative came to our new home and observed the damage claimed on the first claim and took pictures and submitted the pictures and estimates of damage costs and replacement costs. This independent contractor repaired Broken furniture removed scratches, gouges and all sorts of damage when "fixable".
The DESTROYED furniture and bowls, mats, etc were claimed for replacement costs. Some items were PAID to replace immediately--many items had actual receipts submitted for payment. A desk was submitted for $600 replacement cost --the adjuster for Allied claimed the desk replacement was $300. After almost 75 days--a receipt was submitted for $689 and full payment was made by allied.
The damage was terrific--the WORK to get fully funded was horrific---and there remain 2 dining room chairs with "oil/dirt/grease" stains running parallel across the seats that have as yet not been seen by an agent for allied, and pictures have been submitted by me!! the claims agent--before seeing the pictures, made the statement the damage was "water stains"--NOT!!
Now--the allied agent claims all the damage MUST be acknowledged and submitted the day of UNLOADING!! Believe me, it would have taken a week or 2 to unload and inspect all the furniture for damage during this move. And--claims have been submitted for weeks as we unwrap and move furniture around to its proper location.
To date--24 furniture items have been repaired or replaced--like pulling teeth--it hurts!! The 2 chairs remain and likely will never be recognized--such is the way the allied "system" appears to work. One last item to consider--the original agent "estimated" 17,962 pounds for the entire load---the actual weight as submitted by the truck driver was slightly less than 15,000 pounds!! Yep--almost 20% LESS than was paid to deliver!!
So consider--dealing with so much DAMAGE and DESTRUCTION, dealing with claims agent who is unhelpful unless PUSHED. and--a 10% over price increase and a 20% over weight-- I will let YOU decide about using allied for any move anywhere anytime. And, this was NOT our first rodeo---We have moved from Niagara Falls, NY to Cleveland, Oh and from Cleveland, OH to Lawrenceville, Ga using major movers---with those 2 moves combined, only 1 caster on a small stand was damaged. Buyer Beware----or be prepared to be battered and beaten after unloading!! John **

Moreover, the second shipment had a number of broken items (TV, TV stand, side table, book shelf and a couple of kitchen items inside the cartons) which was the biggest disappointment. As a result, I had to go through the headache of submitting multiple claims for damage and delays and also take the effort to purchase all the damaged items again.
My damage claim was accepted for the amount requested but my delay claim was not lived up to. I was told there would be a reimbursement of $75 for each day that my shipment was delayed, instead, when the delay claim was finalized I was told that only $50 would be given just for the first 7 days of the delay since part of the shipment had arrived by then. The second shipment (the majority shipment) that was delayed for a much longer time was completely ignored in this claim process. I tried making multiple calls and sending multiple emails but my request was not honored. I would never recommend Allied Van Lines to anyone for their move.

Not only did our things take 30+ days to arrive, we had ZERO visibility to when they would arrive. We lived for 4 weeks on hard floors, air mattresses, dining out, and little entertainment for our kids (we have a 3 and 5 year old btw...). The delay also resulted in us cancelling out July 4th family vacation, as we only brought a weeks worth of items.
2nd Major Issue: Many Items Never Showed Up! After half of our summer, and missed holiday were spent on hardwood floors and camping chairs our moving day arrived... We were sooo relieved. That was until the movers completed the unloading and we did not have any of our living room couches, our dining table, or our treadmill. So our floor living continues.... We are now 8 days past the unpack date, and still have no idea when these critical pieces of furniture will arrive. It turns out our couches were shipped to Michigan, and our other times never left Houston (our move was from Texas to Tennessee)... I have reached out via LinkedIn to Sr. Leadership who have been completely unresponsive, and all I can get out of the Customer Service group is that "they are working on it."
3rd Major Issue: More damage than any other move in the past. I do understand that some damage can be done in transit, but we had about 10 boxes that look like they were left in the rain (mold growing on the inside) after sitting water logged in the Texas, or Tennessee, or Michigan heat for weeks and weeks. We are now asking that we be reimbursed for a U-Haul and gas, so that I can drive 10 hours to Michigan to pick up my own things... Otherwise, we are running the risk of not having seating or dining furniture in place when family is scheduled to visit in August... YOU WILL LOSE OUT ON MONTHS OF YOUR LIFE, AND THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF $$$ IF YOU ARE MOVING ACROSS STATES WITH ALLIED.

Allied was very good to work with, from the in-person estimate by their representative, through the packing phase through the moving phase. A shoutout to Kay ** for her enormous help and patience with me. A good value for the money and service received.

I hire Allied to move me from NC to NY. I had never used a moving company before and I figured that a large company would be reputable and care about their reputation. A broker came to my home to give me an estimate. She encouraged me to leave my belongings in my furniture drawers and cabinets, assuring me that all furniture would be wrapped and kept safe. I foolishly packed my valuables believing that they would not be touched. Other people have since told me that other moving companies photograph and record valuables. I packed everything very carefully. The NC crew seemed like they were doing a good job. They brought a small van, since my street was too small for the large truck. I believe my things were transported 2 more times until it was packed onto the large moving truck.
A few pieces of upholstered furniture were wrapped, but most items were crammed together in the most careless ways. It is clear that every drawer and every box had been gone through. Things are missing from every box and drawer. I foolishly packed 4 generations of family jewelry, and it is all gone. I knew exactly where I packed them but I still made myself crazy rummaging through everything dozens of times before admitting that all of my family heirlooms are gone. Photos and art work are missing. I found pieces of broken glass and small shards of wood that fell into boxes from the missing art work. My things were treated so badly and I believe if something was damaged enough, it was thrown away.
Again, I was told to keep things in drawers for transport. My desk drawers were full and had many family photos, tax documents and other important items. The desk was loaded on its side and much fell out. I imagine these things were just thrown out. I packed all of my items very carefully in plastic bubble wrap or paper. Every plastic tub was crushed and many contents, broken. Many cardboard boxes were crushed and punctured. I wrapped art work in bubble wrap but many of these were delivered with wrap torn and pushed aside and art work damaged. The 2 things that I asked the movers to pack were a very precious antique lampshade and my sewing machine. The lampshade is gone except for a small torn piece that I found in a box and the machine was not wrapped and was delivered damaged.
Some other things that made working with the mover difficult: The mover, Sly did not communicate. I thought he was coming Saturday, May 1, and he came Sunday May 2. When Sly arrived, I was outside waiting to flag him over. He passed me and didn't know how to to back up. He did not come close to my house, even though there was more than ample room. He stayed on the main road of the community where I live and everyone had to drive on the grass to pass. It was an all day affair. The truck was quite a distance from my home so I never saw the truck which now I suspect had many broken things in it.
The furniture was the very last thing they brought in. They brought in one box at a time and each time I had to direct where they go. I showed them where the furniture was going to go but they ignored me and piled boxes where the furniture needed to go. When the boxes needed to be moved to make way for the furniture, they acted very put out and I ended up moving all of the boxes myself. I was told that the movers would put back together everything that they took apart. Sly tried to put my bed back together and was not able to. The other 2 movers took over and, and instead of putting it together, just tossed my mattress on top and left it. That night, when I went to lay down, the entire bed fell apart and I fell to the floor. I had to sleep on the floor for several days before a 3rd party came and put it together properly.
The fold out sofa was left with the rope still wrapped around it and the legs not put back on. Everything else they took apart was left, often with parts missing. They tossed my electric weed wacker and other tools into the tall grass of a neighbor's yard. I only discovered them after several days of rain. I can go on and on about what is missing and what is damaged. Later I learned that Sly told Tracie, the boss, that he had done a walk through with me and that I said all looked good. That was a lie. I have been distraught over the loss, unable to sleep and unable to work at full capacity.
The most disturbing thing is that I reported all of this. I took photos of the damage and compiled a very long list of what is missing and Allied has not so much as mentioned responded. After a month, they did send someone to look at the damaged furniture, but made no mention of what is missing. I have not heard if they are going to fix anything or not. When I called about the bed, I was treated so very rudely, like I had done something wrong. I am in the process of reporting them to the Better Business Bureau and I have a lawyer I'm working with to try to get some compensation. Do yourself a favor, do NOT use Allied!!

I’m moving with a relocation company who uses Berger Allied. My total load was underestimated. It was supposed to take two days to pack and load but it took 3. The packers/movers were understaffed everyday and ran out of packaging materials, and had to rush and barely took breaks.. This led to them missing things and breaking things just in the packing phase. I have no confidence that all of my breakables won’t arrive in pieces.. There were also multiple mix ups on what was to go into storage and to a temporary location. I did not get everything that was supposed to come to the temporary location.
Most of this seems to stem from the virtual surveys that lead to significant underestimations of load amount, how to staff and how to estimate timeline. It is not fair to the workers who show up to the job and definitely not to the customers. I have moved myself several times and it has been much less stressful than this and nothing was broken! With this company I have already seen my items broker before they left my old house.
So, in my experience so far, the company did not get my items packed appropriately and timely, didn’t get everything moved to where it needed to be moved to.. which seems to be the reason their main business objective and the service they sell.. however, in my case, none of that was successful. I’m am dreading seeing the state my furniture and items are in once delivered and unpacked in a few months. The packers/movers were very friendly but had to rush to meet timelines which compromised the quality of the packing..

I recently moved a 3/2 home from FL to IL on June 3, 2021. Allied provided me with the best quote and reassurance of a smooth move. That was the furthest from what my actual experience was. Not only did their dispatcher, Bill from their Ft. Lauderdale, FL office, hit me with the "Balloon Affect" as he called it by charging me an extra $3,000 at the last minute because I had approximately 200 S.F. of items to add. He then proceeded to yell at me about not reading my contract when I questioned it. Not having a choice but to pay it upfront before the truck would come, the truck (A broker carrier called IMovers) sent a truck that was too small to take all of my items. They were never informed by Allied of the additional items, so my extra items was put to the curb. Then, although I was told I could pick my delivery date and could expect it to take up to 3 weeks from that date, the carrier later tried to charge me another $800 because I couldn't take it when they wanted me to.
Not only did I get way overcharged for a horrible service, several of my items were broken and some items forgotten on the truck, no one is responding to me about the missing items from IMovers. My warning to all, DO NOT USE ALLIED VAN LINES if you want your personal belongings moved reasonably and without damage. Also make sure you get a copy of your contract and print it to have in hand while dealing with carrier onsite. For some reason, I was unable to do that with my contract, they would only send it to me via a link that continued to error out and no one would send it to me, I finally got a copy from IMovers. As someone who has spent almost 30 years in the transportation industry and worked with thousands of carriers, Allied Van Lines does not operate with integrity.

We packed, stored and relocated with Allied affiliate Victory Van Lines of Alexandria, VA in 2019 and delivery in 2021. It was the worst move experience we have ever had (multiple international and US moves). After paying the requested amount to re-load their truck from their storage in Sterling, VA, they then requested additional money to deliver our goods or they wouldn't deliver (actual quote from their President). Their apparent mistake on calculating the weight 15 months later and then extorted additional money. Not only did they hold our home goods hostage but there has been an incredible amount of damage that also had obvious mold-related stains with additional damage. 3 months later and no resolution, no apology... NEVER USE THIS CARRIER!

First told we would be loaded the 28th, then change to 26 May. Our daughters and our loads were to be in one pod leaving May 31 to arrive the week of June 3. After that it was weeks when no one could track our belongings. We’re given for delivery dates to our apartment, no one ever showed. Final delivery came June 14 late in the day. Things were unloaded Helter skelter in the wrong rooms. Four of the items packed by the movers were damaged or lost. Only one dish we packed was broken. Our sofa was not set up to use the electricity or Wi-Fi, and it’s still not fixed. Our computer was broken, parts of two televisions missing, part of a lamp missing, all packed by the movers for which we paid extra. Chose Allied because we have always been satisfied. June 14 was way too late to receive housewares that should have been easily transferred. Never so frustrated with a move.

I spent hours researching the best moving companies online, by phone, and with in-person visits and with virtual walk through appointments. I decided to pay the premium for a “reputable” firm like Allied. Unfortunately they sold me a bill of goods. The service was terrible and they could care less about my belongings. I was promised to meet my driver - never happened. I was promised that our belongings would be loaded on to the truck that would transport them to our final destination - instead 5 shuttle trucks were loaded. The shipment was 4 days late. I had another driver lined up to get out shipment delivered on time, and they didn’t care and refused to release the shipment. They never returned my calls. Just terrible service all around.
