Description of Work: They stacked everything without regard to size. They left tall pieces close to the doorway, then blocked it completely with a Queen size mattress and box spring. A recliner chair is in the far back corner with several boxes piled on top. The aisle promised so we could see and access the needed things is non existent. My walker is on top of a very tall stack of boxes in the back of the space. We have been unable to see all the damages but can see a roller wheel ripped from a TV table plus several damaged boxes. There was a distinct feeling they were discouraging us from checking off the boxes. We have not been able to find several items and so far cannot get into our space to search, due to the large pieces blocking the entrance.

Prompt call back for appointment for estimate. Estimator was punctual and very efficient at sizing up items to be moved. Provided very good and thorough printed estimate. Packer was a great worker. She came day before the move and was very efficient. Day of the move, the four movers arrived before 8 a.m. and did a terrific job of loading and unloading. Took about 8.5 hours. No breakage. No damage to former house or to new house. They are very careful. Their rates are very competitive. Would definitely use them again.
Description of Work: Local move. Also had packing done for kitchen and dining room plus some other breakables.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY! I had been reluctant to move this piano cross-country due to distance, cost & highly special & sentimental value of this vintage piano. Kim Schachtele, found me a good price, a prompt transfer date & a trusted driver. She accommodated my late request for including the framed art. She phoned me each time the 3 man crews were here to check my satisfaction & again when the items left Minneapolis. The load arrived a day earlier than expected & over a holiday. She called me twice during transfer to update me. The Driver called my daughter in Seattle the day before delivery & 1 hr prior as well. Each of the 2 crews in Minneapolis & the one in Seattle were polite, professional & introduced themselves by name. I received wonderful service at a fair price. A great value. A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE!
Description of Work: Moved old, oak vintage console piano & bench with a lot of sentimental value & 2 large framed prints from my home in Edina to my daughter's home in Seattle Washington. A 3 man crew arrived twice (once for piano, next day to pick up framed prints as an add-on) to carefully assess, pack & load items on truck. All were transferred together in only 3 days (1 day less than estimate). Since piano alone did not meet weight minimum, the framed prints were added the next day for no extra fee. All items arrived in fine condition & were moved into the space my daughter had selected in her home. All moving staff, in both cities, were prompt, polite, professional, friendly & very accommodating.

They didn't send enough people to do the packing so they weren't ready for the move and were rushing. They did not send someone to disassemble our furniture and two beds were broken in the disassembly. When they arrived here to unload, they were rushing and at the end they just dumped a whole bunch of stuff in the basement and garage that belonged in other rooms.
Description of Work: They packed and moved us to Pennsylvania.

THE ESTIMATOR WAS PROMPT AND VERY HELPFUL. HE ACTUALLY INVENTORIED OUR HOME ON A HAND-HELD DEVICE AND WAS VERY COMFORTABLE WITH HIS ESTIMATE, WHICH WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF OUR OTHER TWO ESTIMATES ($4000). ON OUR SIZE HOME (3400 SQ.FT.) HE SAID THEY WOULD NEED TWO FULL DAYS (ONE FOR MOVING THINGS OUT, THE OTHER FOR MOVING THINGS IN). THE OTHER TWO FIRMS INDICATED THAT THEY COULD EASILY DO OUR MOVE IN ONE FULL DAY, WHICH WAS THE DECIDING FACTOR.
Description of Work: MOVE US FROM A 3400 SQ.FT. HOME TO A HOME ACROSS TOWN, WE TO DO OUR OWN PACKING.

RECEIVED THREE QUOTES FOR MY FAMILY'S MOVE TO BIRMINGHAM, ALABAMA FROM SW MINNEAPOLIS. PICKED BERGER-TRANSFER DUE TO OVERALL EXPERIENCE AND PRICE. AT THE TIME OF THE BID PROPOSAL WE DID NOT HAVE A DEFINITE MOVE-IN DATE BUT STILL NEEDED TO VACATE OUR HOUSE IN MINNEAPOLIS. SINCE THE HOUSE WAS GOING UNDER CONTRACT. THEY WERE VERY FLEXIBLE WITH DATES. THE PACKERS AND MOVING CREW (TWO DIFFERENT GROUPS) WERE PUNCTUAL AND VERY INFORMATIVE REGARDING THE MOVING PROCESS. COMMUNICATION WAS GREAT BETWEEN THE LOADING AND DELIVERY OF OUR HOUSEHOLD ITEMS. TOOK DAMAGE PRECAUTIONS AT BOTH HOMES BY LAYING DOWN PROTECTIVE FLOORING AND WRAPPING THE DOORWAYS WITH BLANKETS. OUR GOODS WENT OVER A 1,000 MILES AND EVERYTHING ARRIVED IN GREAT SHAPE. PIANO, BEDS, TABLE, ETC. WERE REASSEMBLED CORRECTLY AND NO NEW MARKS FOUND. BEFORE THE MOVING CREW LEFT, GAVE US SOME HELPFUL TIPS FOR BOX PICKUP AND WHO TO CONTACT FOR FUTURE MOVES. WE HAVE HAD THREE MAJOR MOVES AND THIS CREW WAS THE BEST. WILL USE AGAIN.
Description of Work: PACKED AND MOVED BELONGINGS (INCLUDED A BABY GRAND PIANO) OF TWO AND ONE-HALF STORIED HOME FROM SOUTHWEST MINNEAPOLIS TO BIRMINGHAM, ALABAMA.

FIRST OF ALL, THIS IS THE BEST DEAL I HAVE FOUND FROM THOSE REVIEWED ON THE LIST OF MOVERS THAT WERE ABLE TO DO A LONG-DISTANCE MOVE AND COORDINATE IT END-TO-END. NOT ONLY WERE THEY THE CHEAPEST, THEY HAD THE BEST INSURANCE COVERAGE WITHOUT ADDITIONAL COST! BOTH THE COMPANY REPRESENTATIVE AND THE MOVER HIMSELF WERE IN CONSTANT CONTACT TO ENSURE IT WAS COORDINATED PERFECTLY. EVERYTHING WAS WELL LOOKED AFTER, THOUGH THERE WAS A MINOR SCUFF ON A PARTICULARLY DIFFICULT LEATHER COUCH GOING THROUGH A TIGHT TURN. HOWEVER, EVEN THIS REPAIR CLAIM WAS HANDLED BY ALLIED QUICKLY AND WITHOUT HASSLE.

WHILE THEIR BID WAS NOT THE LOWEST RECEIVED, THEIR PERFORMANCE WAS BETTER THAN ANY MOVING COMPANY WE HAVE EVER USED [AND WE HAVE USED MORE THAN 20 OF THEM, IN RELOCATIONS IN THE US AND ABROAD, OVER THE PAST 40 YEARS]. THEIR STAFF WERE PROMPT, EFFICIENT, AND VERY, VERY CAREFUL OF BOTH THE FURNITURE AND ITEMS BEING MOVED AND THE FLOORS AND DOOR JAMS OF OLD AND NEW RESIDENCES. WE WERE GIVEN SOLID AND PROFESSIONAL ADVICE FROM THE OUTSET. WE WERE EXTREMELY PLEASED, AND I WOULD USE THIS COMPANY FOR A LOCAL MOVE AGAIN WITHOUT ANY HESITANCY.
