It went very well. From the sales consultant (Scott),the driver (Jimmy), the crew packing and loading at my Florida home to the Allied crew here in Virginia (Victory Van Corp). The professionalism and service was outstanding. Their quote for packing, shipment, unloading and two hours unpacking plus insurance ($250 deductible) was fair. Other than one lid cracked on my towel warmer, there was no damage period. I have moved around the world twice in my USAF career. This was the most stress-free and professional move of my life. Without question. Highly recommend them. Avoid the non-national carriers. Use a national carrier when moving state-to-state.

Description of Work: Moved us from our home in Miami to their Storage for a month. Then moved us to our new home in Palm City, Fl. The first move went so smoothly that we requested the same employees for the move into our new home a month later. They provided service above and beyond our expectations.

The next day we were loaded into the 18 wheeler. The driver was an awesome packer! Amazing when we viewed our items within the trailer. At our request and due to the holiday weekend, our items were delivered a week later at our new destination. Same driver and one helper. Both were wonderful, punctual, careful, professional and friendly. I would definitely use them again. They worked 6 hrs straight, on one of the hottest days of the summer, without stopping or complaint.
Description of Work: First we were packed up by a group of very thorough young men. I say thorough because if it wasn't nailed down, it got packed!! Packing was done VERY well; very little breakage but some remotes that were needed for items in the house and pool light were packed and never should have been. Guess we needed to grab them and put them aside? Never moved before so our learning curve. Wonderful packing! As I was unpacking it amazed me how well it was done.

I called Griffin Moving as a result of their Angie's List rating and had moved others into our new condominium complex so they knew the insurance requirements, etc. My initial contact was prompt and professional. The caller arranged a time for a moving estimator to come to our apartment, inspect the job and provide a quote for the move. I took the morning off from work so that the rep could come as soon as possible. The morning of the appointment, the representative called (as I was told he would) called a half hour before he was to arrive. And to my astonishment he was calling to confirm that the move was for a one bedroom apartment, and wanted to know if im"really needed him to come to see the exact pieces to move, or he could give me the estimate over the phone"?!!!! I was shocked, mad and appalled.......I told him not to worry, I didn't Ned his quote, since I wouldn't be using Griffin Moving any time soon.amazing!!!!

I can understand your frustation at not receiving your quote. We do need to qualify appointments in certain situations. Our sales person was merely trying to determine if you had enough items to move to qualify for our minimum price. Our minimum can be quoted over the phone and if the price is acceptable, we will provide an in home survey and written guranteed price.

A huge thank you to Griffin Moving for the excellent professional service they offered during our recent move. Roosevelt, Joey and Mike were punctual, careful, and polite. They left everything in place and organized. There were no nicks, scratches or bumps on any of the furniture or the walls. We were extremely impressed and pleased. We highly recommend them. We got 3 estimates and their price was very reasonable.

The truck driver and his crew were very careful in their packing. They were courteous, professional and answered all of my questions while working very diligently. I would hire them without hesitation. There was some problem with the assembling of my desk, however, Allied did respond and handled it within a reasonable time. The crew in Conroe were also very diligent and very careful in the unpacking I would give the movers an excellent rating.

We were in touch regularly leading up to the move. They always got back to me with answers to my questions, were flexible as the moving dates changed a couple of times, and were great on the moving dates. On the packing day they were on time. Three men to prep and pack, quiet clean and fast but not reckless. Another crew came an hour later to load the truck. Clean, fast and polite. A third crew delivered the load. Arrived early, staged the area independently on a busy Manhattan street, and was out of the elevator building in a couple of hours. As low maintenance as can be. We are using them for another move. I've moved more than a dozen times in as many years, and they are among the best.
Description of Work: I called three movers for estimates. They were the first to get back to me, the first to do the survey and gave me an estimate on the spot. The were also the lowest of the three estimates with word of the most services to be rendered.

They showed up 2.5 hours late with someone elses stuff on the moving truck. That evening they said that there was too much stuff on the truck to fit all our stuff. They promised us that we would be able to move to Dallas the next morning. They told us at 11pm that night that there was too much stuff on the truck (including someone else things on the truck), but they would be able to get a truck here at 8am this morning to finish this move. At 9:30 this morning, I spoke with the owner and he said he didn't have anyone to dispatch. So now, we have no idea when they will be able to help us move. We're styaing in a hotel and paying extra every day because they have not been abel to fulfill their promise to us.

Response from Griffin Moving & Storage - Allied Van Lines
Member, I didnt realize that your wifes name was Another Person Deterding Now That I have the name I can respond to this, There are times that the shipment does not all fit into a truck, when going long distance, however in this case the entire shipment was loaded into the same truck, and the shipment was delivered on time. Further more your wife was told at the time of the estimate that we would possibly need 2 days to load the shipment. From my notes you were delivered on time. I can understand your frustration, with the driver being late the morning of the load, however to rate us an F seems a little unfair.

Overall it went very well.
Description of Work: This was the third time that I used Griffin Brothers to move my home. I found them to be very efficient. We had a townhouse that required the movers to take heavy furniture and boxes down the stairs. It was amazing how they piled up 2 and 3 boxes, turned around and carried the boxes on their backs down the stairs. My only dissatisfaction was they did not move any mirrors, but we took care of them in our pickup truck. My closets were not ready to hang up our clothes, so the let us keep the wardrobe boxes (for a small fee that we will get back when we return them). That was a huge relief. I would use them again. Although I hope I never move again.

My mother indicated that this was the best moving experience of her life. The men were courteous, professional, and efficient. They went above-and-beyond in taking care of every detail -- the handling of the furniture (including an antique China display cabinet), the assembling of items like beds and dressers, and the cleaning of items as they placed them in the new location. They even went as far as using window cleaner on the glass top of a large antique desk. My mother would not hesitate to use them again or recommend them highly to family and friends.
Description of Work: This company moved my mother and years worth of belongings from one apartment to another in the Bal Harbour area.
