When I first contacted them for an estimate, I got a callback from Paul within a few hours. He explained everything and had an estimate to me within a very reasonable time. Paul answered all my questions. I was stressed about some large items I had hoped to donate but couldn't because of the pandemic. Paul went over and above by finding a home for each of the items. This really took a load off my mind.
My driver, Chris, was the ultimate professional. He contacted me several days before moving day to give me some tips to facilitate a successful move. On moving day, he arrived promptly when he had said he would. His crew, along with the packing team, we're polite and respectful of my stuff and of me. They were efficient and got things loaded up well before I expected. At the delivery end, my experience was just as positive. My significant other remarked, too, how professional the team was.
My stuff arrived when promised (and sooner than I had anticipated) and there was nothing damaged or missing.

Paul went above and beyond by providing a very accurate estimate of weight / costs, dropping off moving boxes at our house and helping me move furniture that was staying at our house. He delivered everything and more than was promised. In addition to Paul, the movers were professional, punctual and were genuinely nice guys, who I felt comfortable entrusting with our personal belongings. The delivery was on time with no damage whatsoever and no negative surprises. I highly recommend Paul and the entire Allied team. Thanks very much! read less

Julia our coordinator was awesome to work with and kept us updated and all the steps. Matt and his crew packed our house. They were professional and respectful. We realized what an amazing job they did when we arrived and all the boxes were intact. Dillon and his crews were outstanding. They loaded everything from the house and our storage units in one day. 2 days later our belongings arrived and again amazing job at unloading first in a storage unit and then our new home.
Our move from Champaign to Miami could not have gone smoother.
Hope to never have to move again but if we do would absolutely work with this company. read lessAndy A.7 months ago -

The delivery men were courteous unboxed our appliances, removed the packaging & old appliances and set the new ones in the room they belonged in without a scratch on any of the items. I deducted 1 star only because the washer had some road oil from the hot road on one of the feet of the washing machine. Nothing some goo gone didn't take care of but in the future could have set the appliance on the box avoiding any road tar/oil. read less
