Estimator was very professional and nice. Driver was nice, spoke some english but unfortunately he made a mistake by not putting a family heirloom sculpture into the crate he had just built for it and instead put it in-between two cardboard pieces. Upon arrival, it was cracked. Atlas National out of Indiana was extremely difficult to respond to this problem as well as four other antiques that they broke along the way. I was on the phone for over a month. They gave me the run around and fought me tooth and nail on it when it was their fault. I will never use them again. Movers were all nice, one made a mistake but the national company was horrific to deal with.
Description of Work: Moved 3 rooms from Miami to the Midwest.

This mover provided us with three separate estimates, all of which changed. We could never get anyone on the phone, and when you call the cell phone number provided there is no ability to leave messages. The day before our move they increased the estimate by $1,000 dollars leaving us with little time to no time to make alternate arrangements with another moving company. I consider this conduct to be in bad faith and I would never recommend this company to anyone.

Response from A-1 Fargo Van & Storage Inc
Hi{member name removed}, I was sorry to read your comments. I did some research and you are correct, we did change the quote right before your move date which is highly unusual. I believe you had requested to have your shipment packed, loaded and held on one of our trailers for four nights then delivered back. In this manner the shipment could be held out of storage which would reduce the handling of the shipment and the overall cost.The price quoted took all these services into consideration. When one of our crew accepts the move it is based on the revenue parameters that were quoted. A large part of the revenue on your move was the packing services we were to provide. You ended up doing the packing yourself and contacted us shortly before the move to advise that this service would no longer be needed plus you required the shipment now be held on one of our trailers for 8-9 days. Based on this the revenue for the job changed and it required that we take a trailer out of service for that time. Our re-quote was based on these changes as the parameters and revenue for the move changed considerably. I regret that this happened and that it put you into this position. Sincerely, Gary Hale Vice President

The staff they sent was very friendly, professional and hard working. The furniture was wrapped with moving blankets and taped closed, and all kitchen items were wrapped and secured in boxes with plenty of wrapping paper. They took the time to handle everything carefully.
Description of Work: A1 Fargo came and packaged all of our kitchen items into boxes, wrapped all of our furniture and placed it in a container for storage for a few months. They also unpacked everything and returned furniture to its original location.

This was my second move with with A-1 Fargo; obviously the first move went very well, so I asked them to move me this time too. They did an excellent job using all the relevant rating criteria. I could not have asked for better.

Mr. Bob Addis was our salesman. We called for an appointment for an estimate and he arrived on time. He asked a few questions and then walked through the house, checking every single item. He was very professional and personable. We accepted the estimate and scheduled the move from Miami to Central Florida. On moving day, the truck arrived with three men who were very pleasant and began wrapping and boxing. This part, including preparing the large pieces of furniture, took two days. On day three, they loaded. Two days later, they met us at our new residence and began unpacking. I will be honest here and say that we were anxious to see the damage after reading reviews of other companies prior to our choosing this one. We anticipated that whatever could go wrong, would. That was a wasted moment of anxiety as the guys did a beautiful job. We had one minor scratch on an end table after all was said and done. Not bad enough to even mention. Everyone was very careful with our new wood floors, which we greatly appreciated. There was only a $2. difference between the estimate and the actual cost. A good experience all around.
Description of Work: Boxed approx. 50% of our belongings and moved everything we had boxed as well. We had approximately five rooms of furniture on moving day. No major appliances, big screen TVs, patio furniture, grills or garden supplies were taken. We had taken our electronics to the new residence ourselves the week prior.

I had to hire the contractor making renovations in my new apartment in Philadelphia to send out a crew to put the desk back together and the TV. It was hard to fill out the Ratings List above because the packing crew was excellent but the delivery crew was completely unprepared and insufficiently staffed. The work was performed in Miami at my residence, 1717 N. Bayshore Drive, Miami,FL and delivered to 901 North Penn Street, Philadelphia, PA
Description of Work: A-1 Fargo sent 4 guys out to my apartment to pack all furniture and breakable items. I packed the rest. They told me there would be sufficient help on the other end to not only deliver the furniture but to put it back together. They took apart my 8 foot office desk and left me a box labeled "parts". The 46" TV was also packed leaving all the components in a box marked TV components. The driver arrived at 2 p.m. on the delivery date with only one person to help. The condo rules require that all moving be accomplished by 5 p.m. They allowed the driver and his helper to work until 7 p.m. But there was no time to put my office desk and the TV back together.

Response from A-1 Fargo Van & Storage Inc
The packing and loading services were performed by our firm A-1 Fargo of which the shipper said she was happy with. The long haul to Pa. was handled by Atlas Van Lines. The Driver is an independent contractor responsible for his own labor. The delivery to another state is for a specific day not a time frame, and building restrictions are not the drivers fault. The Unpacking of the TV was not included in her pricing and the original quote was within $50.00 of the original quote. If it was they would have unpacked it. Regarding the desk, the driver should have re-assembled it. In that case the shipper should fill a claim with the hauler Atlas Van Lines and they would reimburse her for that expense showing them documentation that she paid for the service.

I was only able to give them short notice of my move and they pulled if off perfectly. The estimator showed up at my Condo in Miami as scheduled and gave me the price. Then three days later, as scheduled, the movers were there ahead of time. They packed my furniture and belongings into the truck in Miami and we were on the road by 9:30 AM. We unloaded in Sarasota that afternoon. They got me moved in one day just as I had hoped. I was very pleased with every aspect of the service.

Excellent. Bob the estimator arrived on time and gave a comprehensive estimate. Beverly in the office was very helpful in coordinating the move. The three man team arrived early, immediately went to work packing and loading truck. They were well organized, very professional and polite. When we arrived at the destination, they were very careful with real wood floors, placed boxes and blankets to protect floors and placed items where I desired. Very good, would use A-1 Fargo again. .

Well we were told that there would be 2 guys, they sent 3. It started out very slow. They threw everything in boxes (toilet paper roller), even my sons shoes! He had to go barefoot until he unpacked the boxes to find them! They did not even come close to half filling the boxes. They wrapped plastic in paper, keys in paper and even paper in paper????????? It made no sense what soever!! We were quoted 400.00 and they almost doubled that with ridiculous charges!!! I was disappointed but glad it got done. I always like to add........it could of been worse!! My son said that the guys were very nice!

Response from A-1 Fargo Van & Storage Inc
This was a phone quote. No visual survey as person was flying in from out of town as we were unable to see items to be moved and packed to give a more exact quote. Originally quoted two men but on move day customer request an additional man as had to be finished by 12 Noon at their request. The person we moved wrote a very good response about the move. Quote: "The guys arrived promptly, worked hard, & were amiable & friendly throughout" "Experience A, Price B, Quality A, Responsiveness A, Punctuality A, Professionalism A, Use again Y" (from Angies List Review Form completed on move day)

We have used them twice now and both times we were very satisfied with the service. They sent a really great crew for the most recent move. It was raining the day of the move and they were very cooperative and kept the pace up great with the move. They were very careful with our belongings and our home. I have moved several times and this was by the far the best experience I have had. I would definitely use them again.

A-1 Fargo was recommended by a friend as well as by Angie's List. Estiimator was on time and thorough. Movers were on time and very careful to blanket-wrap all the furniture, load it in the order it would need to be in to unload it in the right order at destination. They packed the breakables carefully with plenty of fill. Everything arrived, was unloaded, and was put in place without incident or damage. We could not have been more pleased and relieved with the whole process.

The quote was for $2400. We didn't use them because the quote was beyond our budget at this time. I liked the fact that he made me very comfortable in fact that I could trust his services. We decided to do the move ourselves. I might use them in the future for a shorter distance move because of the fact that I feel secure that my possessions would be in good hands.
