Allied Van Lines

I had heard about nightmare experiences with moving van companies but never really thought it would happen to us. Initially I was impressed with the contracted local company working with Allied and felt that everything was being handled in a professional manner. The quote was more expensive than other companies but I thought that we were going to “get what we paid for”. The day of the scheduled move they didn’t show up. I was told they wouldn’t be able to come for another week and we needed to be out of the house the next day. The local contracted company was able to pack up our belongings and take it to a storage to wait for Allied to transfer the items. It took over three weeks for our things to arrive. When it was time to move everything into our new home it was discovered that there were two sets of manifest sheets with duplicate numbers used for many items so it was difficult to track. We made notations the best we could but it was impossible to know what showed up and what didn’t until we were able to unpack. There were several missing items but we only filed a claim for one, a very expensive Venetian mirror. After six months of working with the movers and storage companies we were told that they weren’t going to honor our claim and we could take it to a small claims court. I would NEVER recommend this company to anyone. Worst experience ever.
