Allied Van Lines

I was very, very happy with Allied Van Lines and their local affiliate, Simonik Moving & Storage in Bound Brook, NJ. We moved from Central NJ to Austin, TX from a home we had lived in for 30 years. I was stressed about this move and worried about trusting our belongings to just anybody. I got quotes from 6 different moving companies and checked references and reviews. John Simonik was our sales guy & while they were not the lowest quote, there were others that were 2-3 times more and theirs seemed the most thorough. We did most of our own packing and they gave us a bunch of boxes & tape to help us along. When the team came to move us, I could not have been more impressed. 5 guys arrived at 8:30 am and immediately went to work and they didn't stop until they had us all packed up about 2pm. Each guy had his own job to do and each went about their business, only occasionally asking us a question. They were polite (yes sir, no sir, however you would like it, sir) and very thorough. They had to take apart my desk to get it out of the basement, because it had been glued together. Before they did it, they advised me that they would have to remove the top but they would do it as carefully as they could. After taking the top off and bringing it up out of the basement, they laid out a blanket on the driveway and re-assembled it by drilling larger holes and using screws they had brought. When they were done, it looked like new. That impressed me. Then when they were wrapping up, they insisted (nicely) that I accompany them through every room in the house and confirm to them that everything that was supposed to go was taken and that nothing was left behind. We live at the end of a cul-de-sac and since they could not turn around, the driver backed their 53 foot van all the way down the street, about a half mile. These guys are professionals.
They packed us up on December 30, and they estimated they would deliver it in Austin on January 8th. At 9am on January 8, the truck was were there ready to unpack. They loaded all our belongings into a storage facility as we had arranged because we are building a home & it wasn't ready, but the offload went very quickly.
When it was all done, we were very relieved and convinced we made the right decision. I would not hesitate to recommend them.

Everybody was great and personable. Worked very hard and stopped only for lunch

Jimmy McNeill and his crew were very professional and demonstrated that they cared about us and our belongings. Extremely punctual from beginning to end. Our move from Middlesex, NJ to Chesterfield, VA was very smooth. Our original move date was moved up one day because of forecasted heavy rain. We were NOT charged an extra day because of this decision. Very nice touch. When we did move in to our newly built home, Jimmy and his crew placed cardboard and walking mats throughout the house. They worked through five hours of rain and our house was dry and clean. The men did a great job. They put the furniture exactly where we wanted it. They were very attentive to our needs. Jimmy and his crew have our highest recommendation!
