He followed up but never pressured. Paul provided multiple ble quotes as we decided where we wanted to move to. Julie our Cordinator was awesome she walked us through the whole move and even followed up after it was over to make sure all went well. Tyler our driver and leader of the packing team was amazing, we feel he treated us like family. We really couldn’t be happier. Thanks again read less

Paul was amazingly helpful and kind. Although I ultimately decided to go a different route for my moving needs, the quote was fair and clear. Definitely recommend!

The men did a great job loading. Upon arrival to new home, only 1 came to unload.
His name was Jerry. He got all of it done alone. What a great employee they have in him. Thank you again Jerry,... read moreThe men did a great job loading. Upon arrival to new home, only 1 came to unload.

Our driving team (Brock and Noe) were amazing! They assembled a fantastic crew in Chicago to pack and load and then had another crew in Florida to help unload. All in all, a pretty easy experience - if moving can ever be easy? Federal did a great job for us and I would recommend them. read less

Laura Huff, the move consultant, was highly professional and knowledgeable, provided a timely, detailed inventory and estimate, and responded quickly to emails. The team of Luis (driver), Leo, Jose, and Oscar did a superb job of packing and shipping our houseful of furniture, artwork, and kitchen items including dinner- and glassware. Not a single item was broken or damaged. They did everything in record time, finishing earlier at both ends of the move than estimated. They were respectful and friendly to work with, always asking questions when needed. We would highly recommend Federal Companies, and especially this team! read less

Very friendly, and fast unloading my trailer.

Staff and movers were great. Cole, our driver, and Bernard his partner/helper were careful at both our homes as we left and when we arrived- the move being from IL to AZ.

I work there. Great place

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.

I would highly recommend this company to handle an interstate move. read less

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

Wrapped everything in moving blankets to protect items while in transit. Very responsive to our concerns. Our bed frame was a pain to disassemble, the movers jumped right in and provided a hand.

They made move so easy and worry free. I had 2 movers and they worked their tails off to get in and out but was always very careful with my belongings and didn't scratch a thing.I would definitely recommend this company!

Our drivers were AWESOME and we were so grateful for their professionalism, speed, and the quality of the service!

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 less

I had an international move with them, and all things considered about any move. This was a pleasant one, everything was crated and packed, delivery time was shorter than expected, both crews were right on time. I would totally recommend them.

He took his time, went over everything and showed me he wanted my business from the very beginning. I got one other quote from another company that was actually lower in price but went with Federal Allied simply because of how professional Mark was. The. On loading day and unloading day Frank and Austin were great! Very experienced and they had excellent attitudes and made us feel at ease through the entire process. They were flexible with the move and made it feel very easy. I will definitely use Federal Allied again for future moves! read less

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
