Allied Van Lines helped my move go smoothly - Allied Van ...

While it wasn't the lowest quote, I thought the Allied broker was the most organized and professional. They also have a good website for tracking your shipment (if you need that) and providing a lot of information on the moving process. The representative also offered packing services, additional insurance, and special packing instructions for unique items to be moved, but I did not need any of that. That same day I also got a mail confirmation of the move. In hindsight it seems like they were cutting it close with the follow-up. This caused some confusion since I went outside looking for the big, orange Allied Van Lines truck and here they were on the complete opposite side of the apartment complex. Once we connected they quickly went to work moving my stuff out and into the truck. Also, they laid down some cardboard to protect the carpet and flooring. They were a bit rougher getting my stuff wedged into the apartment elevator, but I had everything packed really securely. They found my house I was moving to (less than 12 miles away) and went to work unloading the truck after laying down more protecting layers on the floors. They were also good about putting the stuff in the right rooms. I went with the cashiers check, but since the Movers worked quicker than expected the final price was actually more than $100 cheaper . Nothing was broken, they arrived on time, and the final price was lower than quoted. My only complaints are some communication issues the day of the move, not knowing I could pay the driver in cash, and the confirmation of the move coming just 4 days before the actual move date. But those are small potatoes compared to many moving complaints so I'll rate them as a solid 4 stars and recommend. You should confirm all information before relying on it. Allied Van Lines
