Do not use this company! When we used Bekins to move from AZ to NY, they sent a professional to our home who knew how to make an accurate estimate. The movers showed up in an 18-wheeler, and they inventoried every item loaded on the truck. They showed up in NY and spent the entire day at our home unloading and helping to set up all the furniture. The cost of the move didn't change. 7k for professional movers to haul from one side of the country to the other. Why I didn't go back to them, I can't explain, but I truly regret it. For some reason, I started over and found Allegiance Moving and Storage. After all, all I had to do was go online and google top rated movers. They showed up every time. The main problem is that they don't send anyone to your home. The reliability factor is the person who isn't a mover, lives in all the "stuff," (aka, the owner) and then has to translate it to someone who can't see what you're talking about. He then types it all into a computer to do calculations. My initial cost over the phone, after I translated our belongings, was 5k. After a lot of packing, our second consultation went up to 9k. (This was one week ahead of the move, so I couldn't cancel.) After the movers showed up 26 hours late, it went up to 11k. I have crushed boxes that have the word, 'fragile' clearly written on them. I had to throw two broken items that originally belonged to my grandmother. They were also in a box marked fragile. (Isn't the word, "fragile" an indication you don't want things stacked on it?) My antique lamp cost 200.00 to replace the parts stolen off of it. My grandmother's antique chair that is decades old, is MIA, as is our two wheeler. The chair was one of three items the movers tried to leave in my garage in NY. We had to call them back to pick them up. The other two items are here. The chair that goes with my Grandmother's bedroom set didn't. It probably looks like junk to these folks because it's broken. I had planned to get it restored while we were here. I have an email to the company letting them know I want it here, but as is the pattern of treatment we have been experiencing, there is still no answer. The worst part of the entire experience wasn't the late movers. It was the lack of communication from the company. The ONLY time we heard from them was when a dollar bill was involved. Michael, the representative providing quotes and taking my money, disappeared into thin air after taking my second payment. This also happened to the second quote he provided to me. Customer Service had no interest in letting us know why we had no movers at the allotted time. They had no interest in keeping us in the loop when they had information they could have shared. They told us 6 AM and then didn't bother to call when they knew better. I guarantee we have 20-30 unanswered messages from the day of the proposed move. We learned the hard way that the 24/7 notice on the website means they have an answering service taking messages that don't get returned. We had to do a final walkthrough with our buyers around all of our boxes. The closing for the sale of the house was at 1:00. The movers showed up hours afterward, keeping us in a house we didn’t own until 10:00 that night. We had to pay a hotel fee of 300.00 for the out of state folks who thought they were moving into their new home that day. We also had hotel fees for ourselves. We have 5k in escrow money that was held back because of our movers that still hasn't been returned. May 26th was a very long and scary day. I honestly thought we’d been scammed out of a lot of money and spent a good deal of time trying to create a backup plan to move our home from NY to TX by ourselves. I am grateful the majority of our things made it and are whole. I'm also grateful it was so fast. The movers on both ends of the country were very hard and efficient workers. The movers in NY killed it with the furniture and the way they wrapped it all up to keep it from being damaged, although, I fear they didn’t mark those three items before putting them in the truck, which is why my Grandmother’s antique, irreplaceable chair is missing. DO NOT USE ALLEGIANCE MOVING AND STORAGE. They are brokers, not movers. They contract the movers, who then move your stuff from truck to truck (without telling you this is going to happen) as it progresses through the country. Bekins used the same truck/driver on both sides. I would recommend Bekins in a heartbeat. They are your ticket to a more organized and less stressful experience. I regret it that I didn't call them. I have paid my bill because that's what someone with integrity does. I currently wait to hear back from them with news regarding the chair and the two-wheeler.
