    I love America First Moving. They are my forever movers. Their workers are amazing. We had a few hiccups because we live on post. But when they got to the house, they were able to pack our stuff and get it out within three and a half hours to four. They were fast. They were very careful with our stuff and very thorough with their questions. They wanted to make sure everything was good on my end and on their end.

    The move was cancelled at the time the credit card was being processed although the staff to put everything together was professional. The only thing I would recommend is to offer clients the ability to save a fee by not using their debit card or credit card and instead debiting their checking account which does not incur any fees.

    I called America First Moving, talked to a representative and got an estimate. He asked me to go through all the pieces of furniture that I had. I went through the house and underestimated the boxes by a little bit. He quoted me $8,700 but to my fury, three days before the move, they jumped it up. I was telling them that I was gonna get the keys to my house on the 14th and they were gonna pick up my furniture on the 8th through the 9th and bring my furniture on the 15th. The rep said, “They have two weeks from the time you say they can be there so you should tell them that they should bring your furniture right away.” I told her that didn't make sense ‘cause it'd almost a week before I get my keys.

    I called back, talked to another gentleman and asked the same question. He said, “If they pick it up on the 9th, tell them that you'll be there the the 12th and they'll get there a couple of days after that. It'll be fine.” I work for the post office and that did not seem right. After we pitched a fit, they dropped it $1,500. But I still spent at least $5,000 more than I thought it would, which is unbelievable. I deserve a refund. I was dissatisfied with the company that priced it but the gentlemen that came and moved me were wonderful. They were the only saving grace. When the young men came to move my furniture, they told me that I did not change the date that I said I’d get the house. He said that he was told to pick up my furniture on Sunday and go straight and deliver.

    Greetings;

    We apologize that you have experienced some difficulties with your relocation. We are here to offer any assistance that may be necessary to address and resolve matters to this extent. From what the file reflects, there were discussions to revise the original inventory list. Our Team advised you of the procedures of the QA Appt. on 6/05 and after some team work the inventory list was redefined and accurate. This process is instrumental in preparing the customer for the day of their move, allowing any changes & revisions to be documented before the truck arrives onsite. Reviewing the breakdowns; the original & the revised inventory are similar however, Ms. Lisa provided more in-depth information about particular items which ended up utilizing more room than initially estimated. This happens when customers make significant changes to the item list. Nevertheless, if the item list is not accurate, revisions onsite on the day of pick-up are more stressful. We understand the increase was unexpected but all the paperwork reflects her changes and the increase in space/volume. The next issue we see has to do with the date of delivery. Customer closing was scheduled for the 14th and was advised FADD of the 15th (First Available Delv. Date). Documentation shows a possible 2-14 Estimated days in transit for a shipment of this size and the distance to be traveled. We understand that you made a comment that you felt did not make sense, about adjusting the FADD to an earlier date to assist in having the delivery sooner rather than a later date. There was no ill will to steer you incorrectly, just an attempt to adjust the delivery to be closer to your desired date. There are no guaranteed delivery dates unless Expedited Delivery is purchased. We apologize if this was unexpected but again we wanted to make sure you were given clear information when planning to receive your shipment at the destination. We are not able to process a refund based on this type of information. There were obvious increases to the shipment to will confirm that the charges are warranted. If this is something you would like to discuss further, our Customer Support Team is available to you.

    Thank you for your feedback regarding this matter.

    America First Moving was new and that it sounded good. But it wasn't good. They broke a lot of stuff. They broke expensive things. They subcontracted us out to another group that had just started. They broke the front tire on a zero-turn. Who does that? And they broke lamps. They broke my hydraulic car jack too. I'm not sure if it was them that did it or they subcontracted to somebody else. But that reflects on them. I would not recommend them.

    America First called me right away for the move. I did not call them. They had a very rapid talking salesman that would not let me talk. They wanted an itemized list of things to move. This was odd because other movers simply ask how many rooms. After reading their reviews I decided not to go with them. Some reviews complained that First American would not answer their calls, and one said their belongings never arrived. So, I wanted to cancel the next day and they wanted to charge me a $790 cancellation fee. For what? They did not do anything. They said it was in the contract.

    What is interesting about this is that I asked them if I could cancel, and they said yes. Then would have been a good time to tell me there was a cancellation fee, but they did not. This is totally fraudulent behavior, omitting material facts when I brought the subject up. So, I read the contract and found many unacceptable issues. They deliver when they want and it could take weeks or a month to deliver. They may share the truck to move other people (would you want your personal stuff comingled with others?) And here is the big catch, they wanted me to give them an itemized account of items to move so that they can start nickel and diming for extra stuff that was not on the original list. This is supported by other complaints that they kept increasing the price.

    Unfortunately after signing I discovered that I had neck surgery that Friday and it did not faze them. They still insisted on collecting their money. If this happens to you, here is a hint; get your bank involved. They know fraudulent behavior and they will investigate. PS: America First do not make the move but they contract the move with local moving companies. You can find them yourself locally, most likely cheaper.

    Greetings;

    We would like to extend a gracious thank you for sharing your experience. We understand that there had been a miscommunication regarding your request to cancel services after the booking process had been completed. Our Team was unaware of the intention of cancellation thus far. As the date of your pick-up approaches, the standard protocol has our Customer Care Team reaching out to customers on the calendar for service with their ETA information of your truck’s arrival. It was then, we were informed that you had wanted not to proceed forward with the relocation. After some reviewing, our management team contacted you directly, with the Cancellation Policy that is printed within the documentation you received upon booking your reservation. It is a “bolded, capitalized, and underlined” section within the policy which would be in your email inbox. If you intended to cancel services and had followed the guided instructions on how to request cancellation within the allotted timeframe, reimbursement of the full deposit would not have been questioned. There is no communication from you to the proper individual (info@) seeking cancellation until outside the eligibility window. Therefore, once Management had the opportunity to discuss the resolution with you based on our company policy. The offer for reimbursement is based on the calculations within that paragraph in the contract. Unfortunately, since that option was not appealing, you opted to take alternative measures. This could have been avoided and handled properly with 1 call to our toll-free number or an email to the main company inbox. Communication with our office would have been the easiest way to resolve this matter amicably.

    We apologize that the experience was not the stellar one you were seeking. Our policies are clear and upfront for every customer to read and review. It is a shame we were not able to have a working relationship with you to complete your move.

    Thank you again and have a fantastic day!

    I specifically asked if my items would be delivered on a certain date and was told yes. They lie to get you to sign. Yes I should have read the contract but that is no excuse to lie to people.

    America 1st Moving Services would like to take this opportunity to thank you for sharing your thoughts and feedback regarding your interactions with your booking representative. We take these claims seriously that an agent has not been forthcoming about what is printed inside the agreement and all company policies. Looking into the discrepancy, it seems that the delivery timeline was not reviewed. All shipments are based on the size of the load and the distance to be traveled while corresponding with the FADD (First Available Delivery Date). Those 3 factors will help mold a better timeline and understanding of how long it will take for a shipment to travel across the country while abiding by when the customer is first able to accept their shipment. We also offer a full team of Customer Care Agents who are equipped with the knowledge to best answer each customer’s inquiries in every aspect of a move. I would like to extend our apologies for any misgivings or misunderstandings that may have happened. We want nothing more than to help each customer to the best of our ability while servicing their ongoing relocation. If we can help in any way, please utilize our toll-free number during standard operating hours.

    I used America First Moving for storage and move within a state. I got an online quote but couldn't book anything until I knew when I was moving. I had a short a 10-day close time, and they were able to commit to that. However, the quote that I was given was not what I ended up paying. It was much more. The process of getting them there was fine, but getting my furniture back was terrible. I put in about a month before I was gonna need my furniture. I gave them my first date as July 1st, but I did not get my furniture until July 14th. They delivered at 7:00 PM to 9:30 PM and they always said they tried to do my first delivery date. I was not happy about that. But the pick-up and delivery guys were great. They always got helpers with them. The helpers in Murrells Inlet were great. Most of the helpers on this side in Greer were good, but there was one guy who thought he could lift a lot of things that he couldn't so I had to watch him.

    Their storage fees are exorbitant. They tell you how much it is per cubic feet but I don't do things in cubic feet. I want a dollar amount. They don't give you the time until a day before. They were telling me on a Sunday how much money I owed them and came up with $2,000 extra dollars for for two months of storage which was ridiculous. I also have a broken item, which I have not heard anything about yet. I did not make a claim because the moving guy said he was going to do it and that he would try to get full replacement for it. I responded to his email and asked but haven't gotten a response. I don't know what to do now.

    I wish more than anything I had read some of these reviews before I paid this company to move for me. The original representative gets on the phone and quotes you very low on purpose, omitting certain items, and estimating everything on the bottom side so that they'll get you to put down a deposit. I asked for clarification multiple times on what he needed an inventory of, And he assured me that it was only the very large items and didn't even ask for the size of boxes. Or any specific information about the items and quoted me $2200. They'll then call you 3 days before they pick up and your quote will triple because The new representative will want every single individual item going on the truck, even to the point of measuring length and width of every item, But they know they have you on the hook because you can't get your deposit back by this point.

    The company gave me a pickup window from 5 to 8 on a Thursday. I waited around for them and they didn't arrive, They then told me they'd be there the next day, waited around all day and they never arrived. Finally, on the third day they arrived but in the only window on the now third day that I said that I couldn't be there. I then had to miss a family birthday party for them to load up all the stuff, I witnessed them break a desk as they loaded it and they just tried to ignore it. They then told me that they misquoted me again and it was going to be another $1,500 on top of what they had already tripled. We call customer service with my wife in tears because we can't afford all of this. They agree to take $800 off (A laughable amount after all they've done and we are still paying $700 more than the second larger quote).

    I told every rep when I needed my things delivered and They all assured me that even though the contract says they legally have 30 days, that was just to protect them legally and because our distance was fairly short (550 miles) that they would shoot for the first available delivery day Or at least very close to it. They said however I needed to talk to the driver about delivery when they arrived, so I spoke to the driver and told them on the day I needed it delivered. He said they would shoot for that and it might be a few days later but heavily implied it would be on the day or very close to it.

    Now that they have our things, we are over a week past the delivery date and when we call we get nothing but irritated customer service representatives who act like we're in the wrong for calling and asking. They basically told us that in the fine print of the contract they have 30 business days to deliver our items and that we should just suck it up because they can get here whenever they feel like getting here, So my wife and I are now living on an air mattress in a completely empty house for who knows how long. My wife and I are absolutely sick over the amount of money this company has stolen from us only for them to be unhelpful, un-empathetic, at best incompetent and at worst deliberately deceitful. I'm wringing my hands over what my belongings are going to look like when they arrive because I have no doubt they'll be mangled. Will update on delivery. If you're considering this company run far far away!

    I was looking for someone to pick up some stuff from Florida and get it here in Virginia in a reasonable amount of time. American First Moving was expensive, but they were all expensive at the time and compared to everybody else, America First was very good and trustworthy. For the record cabinet, I should have taken the records out of the cabinet but I had them in there and it was too much weight on the cabinet. There was a little bit of damage to that cabinet. It was missing an iron shelf. I talked to the guy because he called to ask if I had something. I guess there was somebody else's stuff on there too. I told him I was missing something and he said he'd keep a good eye out for it but he must not have found it. But they were very kind and compassionate people.

I told them I was waiting on one more thing for everything to be finalized and the rep said to call them back when it was finalized. I did, they asked me a bunch of questions, and then a local company came out and moved me. I was very pleased with the local company that came out and did the work. It was a short move, but I required packing services and they packed my items very well. I was very pleased with everything.

    I was quoted for a move on the 27th of June and was picked up for a move that was roughly 470 miles across two states. I was picked up on the 29th of June by AMB Moving & Storage and to this day, I still have not received my belongings. The first projection for delivery was on the 13th of July, which came and went. Then, it was no later than the 18th of July. After that, they swore it would arrive last Saturday on the 20th of July. Afterwards, the driver stated it would arrive this Wednesday on the 24th of July, but then it came and went. Finally, the driver is claiming my belongings will be delivered no later than Tuesday the 30th of July, after the last legally allowed date of delivery.

    This is not only a clear breach of contract and could be considered fraud, but is incredibly inconsiderate to provide inaccurate projections of delivery five times in a row. I've cancelled multiple trips with my friends and family to accommodate these false projections. I've been nothing but flexible during this entire ordeal and America First has consistently failed to meet expectations. I have followed up with them several times every week over the past month and have kept in regular correspondence and still have not come any closer to receiving my belongings. Customer service has mostly been combative and unhelpful, continuing to provide false projections every single week. I'm currently looking into outside help and third parties to assist in retrieving my belongings. Please do your research, I will edit this review if necessary.

    I would not use American Home Warranty for any move going forward or their carrier Best Choice Moving LLC. All the problems I faced:

    - initial quote 1900 est
    - actual quote (additional fees for everything they said no additional fees for): 2700 est
    - lost two items
    - broke two items: long mirror and ottoman
    - disassembled my bed and then lost my screws and could assemble my bed how they took it down

    - cracked a granite site table and tried to hot glue it together.

    I experienced roughly 600.00 worth of damages. The drivers who came to my home were rude and added additional fees to everything. I felt I was being scammed when they drove off with my belongings to when I finally received all large furniture pieces broken or destroyed or simply lost! Do not go with them cause they are cheap! Do not fall for they have extra room on a truck. Major problem too many people handling the furniture pieces a route.

    This company is a total scam. Do your research before hiring them. I was scammed out of 3K for a move. I told them to cancel and they said it would be placed on hold and my credit would be good for a move of my choice. Well, I called to schedule an auto transport and they would only allow 200 of my credit to be used. This was a move of my choice and now since I've filing several claims to fight back they now refuse to give me any of my money back. So again don't use them or prepare yourself for small claims.

    Hi, Erica!

    After a careful review of your file, we have made some very interesting discoveries. Your signed contract was received on 3/26/24. You signed a contractual agreement to place your household goods relocation on hold on 4/1/2024.

    While your move was on hold, and before you requested to transfer your household goods relocation to an automotive relocation and put it back on schedule, you issued a fraudulent chargeback on your payment made to America First Moving as "credit not received". What this means in simplest terms is that you were the party in breach of your agreement. Nonetheless, after careful consideration of the circumstance and documentation that America First was in full compliance with providing, your financial institution ruled in favor that you did fraudulently issue that chargeback.

    This being the case, you were not able to transfer your services atop the fact that household relocation and automotive relocation are two separate entities. We wish you well in all future endeavors!

I was shell shocked and angry. The movers came that day. I had on paper what I was going to pay them. The movers said it will take two trucks to pack me when originally I was told one truck would be sufficient. I had no choice. When I tried to discuss and tell two different managers, I was pushed off the phone and ignored. This company is a shameful company who ripped me off and lied to me. Please be aware of this company and the lack of care management has for their customers. Never, ever, use them.

    Hi, Terese

    We're terribly sorry to hear that you were dissatisfied with your services in any way. We have reviewed your account and can see that you did contact us two days following your pickup to report overages at the time of pickup. You did inform the customer support manager that your items are larger than standard sizes and a call was not made to discuss the events as they were happening in real time.

    Nonetheless, our Customer Support manager also offered to review your account with you multiple times. Unfortunately, we have not heard from you. We are aware that you were delivered on your requested delivery date as well. If there is anything we can do to be of further assistance, our Customer Support team is here and happy to help!

    James ** conned me into hiring AFM to move my things. They are not a moving company. They are brokers. He led me to believe they were moving my things and then sent a disreputable group of people to my home (Familiar Movers). He actually had the nerve to charge me $697 to make a phone call. I was told I would not have to pay any more money. That was a lie. I was told steps would be no problem. That was also a lie. I was told my things would be delivered in two weeks. Well it has been over a year and I have no idea where my things are. I believe they have been stolen. I complained to AFM and they claimed they were helping me get my belongings but all I am getting is the runaround by Familiar Movers.

    The one decent thing AFM has done is refund my money. I do not believe they are trying to help me though. In the year that Familiar Movers has had my belongings Creditwise has reported seeing my email and social security number on the Dark Web. I would not be surprised to find out that AFM is still doing business with Familiar Movers so be careful with who you think you are hiring. If you hire AFM and see Familiar Movers at your home you need to lock the door and call the police or you may never see your precious belongings again. I don't believe I will ever see my grandmother's quilts again or my mother's smile. I am retired and it is going to be a hardship to replace the things that are replaceable. This has affected me negatively. I can't sleep and I am having panic attacks. I can't relax. This is the worst experience I have ever had.

    Ms. Ritchie, we are saddened to hear you have such strong feelings toward our company. It is stated on your signed moving estimate that we are a licensed interstate moving broker and we will connect you with a licensed interstate moving carrier. Every client pays a deposit to schedule a move. According to our records, your price was never increased. You receive a complimentary flight of stairs per move, any flights after that would be an additional charge. This is also stated on your signed moving estimate. In regards to the delivery situation, once you were picked up in OR, a call was made to familiar movers that you were no longer moving to the original destination in MN. It had been changed to AL. This was discussed directly between you and the carrier. We do apologize for any hard feelings you may have towards us. However, you did not reach out to our office until 10 months after your pickup. If we had been told much sooner, this issue would have been resolved long before a year went by. With this being said, we refunded your money in full to attempt to rectify some of the ill feelings you have towards us. We were never made aware any incidents had occurred which makes it difficult for us to help you. We tell every client if there are ever any questions you need answered or issues that arise, to please reach out to our customer care team. We hope this finds you well and we wish you the best of luck with your future endeavors.

    This moving company is as bad as they come. If you plan to move, find someone else because these folks, when you have a problem, will antagonize you, demean you, and try to throw their contract in your face versus actually trying to help. Unfortunately, the information I could have would fill a book, but I don't have the space for that. For your sanity and preservation of your precious things, RUN! Don't take my word for it, look at the complaints here at the BBB and look on Google Reviews.

    These people gave me a 2-day window and they used the second day, but as the day progressed, I called them only to find out nobody was coming. The driver said he would be there the next day and when he told me the size of the trailer, I warned him about my street and told him the specific way to get there. This was in a text that he summarily ignored and when he texted me the next time, he told me it would cost me more money to get a smaller trailer. In the end, I called the company that hired this 3rd party mover and spoke with many people. They all treated me like dirt, but they want to make it about them and try to be the victim.

    I finally cancelled the move with them and they actually wanted me to sign a document stating I wouldn't dispute the monies they wanted to keep, nor would I disparage them. I told them I wouldn't sign that and I had already disputed the charge. I found another company locally that was half the price, didn't try to nickel and dime me, antagonize me, or try to act like the victim. The new company was on-time, did what was asked, took care of my belongings, and were very easy to work with.

    On a side note of what happened, one guy actually threatened my wife and children because I used the "F" word with him. Another guy wanted me to give him the respect he claimed to give me. These folks don't seem to understand that we're the customer, not them. They need to treat people with respect and not harass. Like I said, run from this group!!!

    I was quoted a fair price, gave a list of what I needed moved from ATL to AZ. The day of delivery, I was called and informed that the moving truck is too big to come into the community that I live, so I would need to pay $580 additional dollars for a "shuttle", or get my own truck, meet their delivery truck and move my own things. Imagine my shock, to hear this. I was told that "this was in my contract, and I should have told them what type of community I lived in." I was refused to speak to a higher manager. I spoke with two different supervisors who were extremely rude and condescending.

    A quote price of $3300.00, somehow ended costing $4,000.00. I have never had any business speak to me the way these so - called supervisors did. I know that they under bidded this move, so they made me pay, on the back end. Of course I had to pay, because they possessed all of the belongings of my critically ill mother. Lastly, they outsource pick up and delivery, so your movers are not even the company that you hired. Beware of this company!

So that move was supposed to cost me $2100 cost me $3000, my items would’ve been held hostage had I not! I have it written in an email that the price was firm! I reached out to them to give me my money back from the deposit, and they refuse! Do not do business with these people!

    **RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY*** America First Movers took 44 business days (65 calendar days) from our first available delivery date for them to deliver our belongings from WA to AZ. Below you will find the facts along with my thoughts following. Suffice it to say, this is NOT a trustworthy company as we were literally lied to multiple times through the process and NO ONE should use this company for their moving needs. The company wouldn’t even bother to fairly compensate me for the extreme trauma they put me and my family through. I’m a believer that things can always be made right, but after several months, it is clear that this company has no desire to make things right, they just want to get your non-refundable deposit, get you stuck with them, and screw you over however they can. I can confidently say that any 5-star review for this company is completely fake.

    Here are the facts: Our belongings were picked up on 6/5/23 with a first available delivery date of 6/16/23. They said they legally have 30 business until they compensate us in an amount of $15 - $30 per day beyond the first available delivery date. 30 business days following 6/16 would be 7/31, accounting for 7/4 as a non-business day. We did not receive our belongings until 8/20/23 - 44 business days/65 calendar days from 6/16/23. Several items arrived beyond repair or did not arrive at all. The company they use to compensate for loss/damages offered me $74.00 for the loss/damage incurred (for reference, there was thousands of dollars worth of loss/damage done to our belongings).

    Every single time I was on the phone with them, I was always told essentially the same thing - that my case was being worked on/it’s busy season/they’re waiting on dispatch/etc. - always kicking the can down the road. On Friday, July 21st, 2023 (5 weeks from first delivery date), I was told “they are loading the truck and traveling this weekend” - finally some relief! Little did I know that they were simply kicking the can down the road once again.

    I call Monday, July 24th, 2023 because I had not received a call that the moving truck had left yet and wouldn’t you believe it? I’m told that the moving company is “working on a plan” - so now not only was the can is kicked down the road once again, I was literally lied to. The week of July 24th thru July 28th I was told several more times that the truck was going to be loaded and on its way that week. However, I did not receive my belongs that week, so lied to a SECOND time. I called on Monday, July, 31st and was told that the truck was on its way - great! I called at about 11am on Tuesday, August 1st confirming that the truck was still on its way and I was told that the truck had not been loaded - so I was lied to a THIRD time.

    Additionally, my original “binding estimate” (which is apparently in no way at all binding) increased by THOUSANDS of dollars - somewhere in the vicinity of a 75% increase, even though I did not increase the cubic footage by 75%, or even close to that. When my items were picked up, the four men were nice enough, although they did DROP my washing machine upon moving it from the laundry room to the truck, I literally watched water leak out of it, and they said “oh it’s no big deal, it’s just excess water in the line.” Luckily it actually works.

    When I went to sign the litany of documents, you’re pretty much stuck - they know you have no other choice other than to sign the documents and they can play with the cost however they see fit - very shady (and, my all-in cost ended up increasing by thousands - by roughly $4,800, from $7,750 to $12,550) - and I genuinely felt like I was signing under duress because, well, I needed my stuff moved and didn’t have any other option at that point as the sale of our house was closing the next day.

    Upon delivery to our new house in AZ, once belongings finally were delivered, it looked as if they had just thrown everything into the truck - our items were not treated well. Once everything was delivered into our house, I noticed only 2 of the 3 pieces of our 3-piece sectional was in our house. I had to physically go into the truck and noticed that one piece to our sectional was strapped in with SOMEONE ELSE’S load. Had I not gone into the truck to make sure we got everything and happened to notice that it was with someone else’s load, we would have only had 2 of the 3 pieces of our couch. Moreover, our sectional has tears that are beyond repair.

    When attempting to get any compensation back to mitigate our thousands in losses, they told us to work with another company as a sort of middleman. That’s fine, part of the process. They told me I have the standard $0.60 per pound to compensate me. They offered me $74.00, which was a total slap in the face when considering how many items were lost and damaged. I mean, the ruined couch weighs enough in itself to justify more than $74.00.

    As stated, this is not a trustworthy company at all. Frankly they shouldn’t even be in business for their shady practices. I’m glad we actually ended up just getting our stuff, but I wouldn’t be surprised if there have been several families who have been completely scammed out of their belongings and taken advantage of. This is the WORST moving experience I have ever experienced. If you’ve already paid a deposit to this company, take the loss and go find another company, pay a little more in the long run, who will treat your stuff the same way they would want their stuff treated. This company needs to be put out of business.

    If I could do anything I would go back and not use this company, so the best I can do is try to save you. You will handled with such care until they get your deposit. Then very few updates, movers come earlier than expected so just plan to be ready (regardless of what they say because they called to confirm the night before that they would come in two days and they showed up the next day).

    Movers did not measure anything and said it was 457 cubic feet... by looking at my stuff? I was quoted 300 cubic feet (binding estimate I signed that says unless more is added, it won't change). Nothing was added, it changed. My binding estimate said with my items I had room for 33 additional boxes before I needed more space. Now, with nothing added, I need 157 MORE on top of the 33 boxes space? For the same stuff? Movers demanded $1,000 more or wouldn't take my stuff. Were so rude, customer service was rude and did nothing. I was told 4-5 days when I signed. I'm about to go into my 3rd week with no update. They legally have 21 days, they aren't even loading until the 24th day as of now when I spoke to them.

    I have had to call them for every update while I sleep on the floor and eat take out because I have none of my belongings. This is the worst company I have ever dealt with - and I am a very easy going person. Please avoid this company, I truly believe their good reviews are fake. They do not have an associated account or any other reviews. PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. PLEASE DON'T SAY "that won't happen to me"...

    When the driver first picked up the vehicle, the inspection was very thorough. He had a co-worker with him and both took a lot of pictures. The driver said he would let me know when he arrived because he wasn't sure if they had room. But he said he has another facility and he had no problem putting it there, but it was 30 minutes outside of the city. After he arrived, he said, “I've confirmed that we're just going to leave it here, 15 minutes from the airport. It’s secure.” I texted him when I landed and he said to come and get my car.

I will state, they worked quickly and effectively to assure my satisfactions can be met as resolving any and all issues at hand. They have been super communicative and informative during the entire process.

    Original Review: May 3, 2023

    Man oh man, I wish I would have listened to my first gut and not booked with them. When reviewing online, I came across some poor reviews but while on the phone with a manager (great salesman) he reassured that a couple bad apples do not reflect the company. So I decided to book them. Let me say, those bad apples DO indeed reflect the company. America First uses 3rd party movers who are the furtherest from a professional move.

    Those who picked up my items in Chicago were amazing. Friendly, explained everything, and handled items with care and had proper equipment to move. The drop-off was an experience I wouldn't put my enemies through. I received a call that delivery is expected Friday 7am-9am. What moving company delivers items at 7 am? My apartment leasing office wasn't even open at the time. First red flag, to be charged an additional waiting fee when in reality that 7 am time frame shouldn't even be there. 5 minutes into the move, I am holding the door while watching the man open the truck.

    My stuff is leaning over harder than the tower of Pisa. I watched him handle my boxes with no worries in the world. As I can see, standing 20 feet away the red fragile stickers I placed on my boxes. Maybe he was color blind and/or English wasn't his first language. But fragile was the furtherest thing applied to my boxes. He placed the couch on the elevator and I held the elevator while he retrieved more items. Before even unwrapping I see damage to my couch. This is 15 minutes into the move and the items aren't even in my apartment. So much for door to door service I paid for. From there, my items were handled in a rush manner. As if he was so busy but yet I did not see any assistance from his "team".

    I WAS THE ASSISTANCE. At this point put me on payroll. I was told I had to pay first in order to receive my items. And I shared I wanted to see my things first. Now I know why they make you pay first. Because after you see your items, you won't want to pay. The drop-off did not use appropriate materials, my floors weren't protected and my furniture was not reassembled as stated in the contract. 80% of my big items were broken, the whole reason I hired movers was for the big pieces. Now I am responsible for removing the broken furniture by myself. At this point, they could've just dropped the items off at the dumpster but it probably would've been an extra fee. Please, please trust your gut when looking into movers. Go directly to a reliable moving company and not a broker.

    Tristan, we want to apologize for any mishaps you may have had. We reached out to your carrier right away. The man I spoke with at their dispatch sent me the inspection report that was taken upon pickup and delivery. I forwarded not only the report but also the pictures of the truck. The records show the vehicle arrived in the same condition it was picked up in. We also researched this and it seems it's a situation that seems to occur most likely overt time. (What can cause a drive shaft to fail?

    For example, common causes of faults include worn or insufficiently lubricated universal joints (u-joints), bad rubber bearings, and a loose shaft. If the joints fail to support the shaft, you may hear it scraping along the road beneath you. Other issues may include a badly damaged tube or a faulty slip yoke.

    The guy I spoke with at America First, Gavin, was super cool and not pushy like the other companies. He took the time to talk to me but I was at work at the time, so he was quick and efficient. He gave me a quote over the phone when everybody else was saying that they wanted to see my stuff. Gavin was super reliable, too. When there were a couple of hiccups during the move, I just called him and he explained the process. He was friendly and made it really easy.

    But the crew that came out was three hours late. They called and said they were leaving a place in about half an hour and when I looked it up, it was about an hour away from where I was. I told them to just give me a heads-up when they were close. That way, I could make sure that my little dog and cat were away and put in the car. So, I sat there for hours and at 8:00 P.M., I called them to make sure they were still coming. They said they could still come if it was okay with me or they could come in the morning, but it would have to be super early. They said sorry and that they were stuck in traffic. It was a little weird but they got there at about 8:00 that night.

    Other than that, when I was speaking with Gavin, he let me know that if I didn't want to package some things, they'd put the TV into a box or they'd do X, Y, and Z. He said it was all calculated in the estimate he was going to give me because I didn't have a whole lot of stuff. But I ended up packaging everything and the only thing that I needed help with was the bed frame where the T comes together. I needed an Allen wrench to loosen that and fold it up. When I told the movers about it, they were sad but they did it and they were polite.

    In the end, all my stuff made it on time. My TV stand has a little crack in the top and they didn't put a mattress cover on my mattress, so my mattress has dust, spots, and dirt on it. When the movers came in, they told me they were going to cover everything. They wrapped the couch, the coffee table, and the TV stand. Then, they took one little moving blanket and put it over one side of the mattress, but they told me they were going to cover it with plastic to make sure. But then they just did the one little moving blanket over one corner. Also, it was in the contract that there was coverage up to a certain amount if anything was broken or not intact. But nobody really told me how to do that. It's not a big deal though. Stuff happens and I get it.

    Original Review: Our interaction with the quote provider was good because he was working remotely and he provided me with a competitive price that made me select them. But once the actual move happened, the quote that was provided was in no way in contention with what I was being served. When their movers came into my home and picked up all the stuff, they charged me more than half. My original quote was 2,900 and the guy who picked up my stuff provided me with a $5000 quote. He told me whatever the guy who was sitting in remote does not know the dimensions and he took a wrong dimension and the volume was way higher than what they mentioned. He checked off all the things that represented my apartment and he confirmed that everything was good from my side, but the quote which I was provided did not include the volume correctly. The guy did not calculate properly and I was charged 4,800 bucks.

    The delivery guys also called me up saying their truck wouldn't fit in an apartment and they would need to get another U-Haul and then they charged something more for that as well. I was clear since the beginning that my delivery will be in an apartment. All in all, what I was promised to what I paid end of the day was so bad and different. They also delayed the whole pick-up. My stuff was picked up around 1:00 AM after two days that was promised. Then it was so bad that I couldn't even call them. My mattress was also soaked in water and my TV stand was broken. I'm disappointed. I would not recommend America First Moving again to any of my friends or even to myself later on. The experience was so bad.

    I'm so pissed off at what they did. I had originally contracted through a rep and gave him a list of what I had. He told me things would be a certain way. But he had an accident and he was out of work. So, I started talking to his boss and his boss said, "Oh, no. It's not gonna be $6,800. It's gonna be $12,000." He said that he doesn't see the list I gave and because of that, it's gonna increase my cubic. The movers came and they were seven hours late. I didn't get any compensation. They started packing at 9 o'clock in the morning and didn't leave until almost midnight.

    I told the driver, "Because I paid for the whole truck, I'm putting my own lock on the truck. I don't want you guys having access to my stuff." I had cleared this with their dispatcher. The driver said, "If I cut off your lock, that's not my problem because I need to put my stuff back here." I told him he didn't need to put his stuff back there because I had paid for the entire truck. That was a big fiasco. Then, I kept getting phone calls from their drivers asking, "Can't we deliver early?" But, I don't take possession of the destination house until December 15th.

    When they got here, they had three guys and they were posting on Craigslist trying to find people to help unpack stuff because they couldn't do it. They knew how much stuff I had because they were the same drivers who loaded up in Florida. Plus, they damaged stuff and I put it on the packing slip. They said they would turn it in. But I haven't gotten a phone call from them and my things are still broken. Stay clear from these crooks. They lie and they have no work ethic. They show up late and they break your things.

    Ms. Jennifer, the first inventory that we were given had 257 pieces on the inventory and the Quality Assurance call ended with 341 pieces. If you add more items, the price is going to increase. We do apologize for the delay of the drivers, these are real guys on real roads and delays can and do happen. It sounds like they worked hard to get everything packed in 1 day by working extra hours for you. You did have almost two full trucks worth of items. That does take time to disassemble, pack, wrap, and load. Unfortunately, they could not accommodate locking the truck with your lock. No moving company is locking their company vehicle with a personal lock. If they ever needed for any reason, for example weigh stations checking trucks they need access to show officials what they are transporting per DOT. These drivers also drive long distances by themselves and then hire local movers to help load and unload. They believed they needed more people to get the job done so they were trying to find help fast. We did try to discuss these concerns with you over the phone. If you would still like to discuss or have any questions please feel free to reach out to our office. We wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors.

    I ended up going with America First Moving Services because they were very upfront. They were very transparent about the price, and it didn't change. Once America First reached out, I stayed with the same rep the entire time. And once I got the rep on the phone, I went through my inventory. I was candid about what I had, and my measurements and sizes of everything, and my own inventory. I also sent them pictures so that everything was crystal clear for them. They sent it to their logistics department to make sure that the square footage on the truck was gonna be accurate.

    After they did that, I got the email quote. Once I saw it and I saw the price point, I said, "Okay, let me go ahead and do it." So, I went ahead and signed all the documents. Everything was via DocuSign. So once I signed the document, I pay my deposit, which was easy and convenient. And after I paid the deposit, I got a call from logistics where they were able to put me on the schedule sooner than we anticipated. And from there, everything started happening.

    The movers were there the next day. They called me 45 minutes before they got there. It was raining that day. They were very mindful, 'cause in my apartment I had white carpet. They put on little booties. And they were careful with my items. I appreciated that. The management, the customer service, the rep that I dealt with, everyone was phenomenal. They were helpful. So, it made for a pleasant experience. If I ever have to move cross-country again, I'm going back to them.

    Like all companies, America First Moving was aggressive on getting my business. But when it all came down to it, they showed up, loaded everything up and delivered everything when I needed them to. So, they performed good in my book. The quote was determined on how much stuff we estimated that I was going to have. It was all calculated and had an estimated date that I was gonna need them for. They pressed for the 1/3 deposit to secure that rate. But all companies are that way. America First Moving seemed fair and didn't charge me any more than the contract that I signed. There were no other surprises so, it was fine. The crew were professional and did what I asked them to do. They did a good job and seemed to have some care in my stuff.

    I called America First Moving Services. I explained that we were moving out of state from Nevada to Wisconsin. They wanted to know exactly what I had, as far as moving, because they could give me somewhat of a quote. I started getting quotes from them, which started to be $3,200. Next thing I knew, we were way up to $9,000. I didn't even get half my stuff. They broke in half a brand-new kitchen table. I had a golf cart I paid extra money for to have transported. It had scratches and dents in there that I told them, "Be careful with it." My brand-new freezer got all dents along in the door. Boxes missing.

    America First subleased out to another person, which I was not told. These people are in Florida. I have somebody from California, which makes sense, because that's where they're located. Also, after they had my truck loaded up, I said, "Where are you taking this?" They said, "We're going back to Sacramento with it." I said, "Because I'm not ready to leave Reno. You gotta give me a bit here. I want you to pick it up and I'll give you a call when to start with your delivery." A couple of days later, they said, "They're on their way." But I told them that in the beginning that I'm not ready to leave. That was when it went to storage, and half my stuff was lost and broken. They do a bait and switch. I never would have went with them people if this is how it was. I shouldn't have to make a claim and keep calling, and be offered 70 bucks. I'm a dissatisfied customer.
