The pickup was done very well. Delivery was on time. Two pieces of furniture were badly damaged and the mover crudely tried to glue them back together which only made things worse. Allied provides insurance of 60 cents per pound of the individual item and not the weight of the entire shipment. You essentially get nothing back but the company is protected by the offer. Next time I'll buy additional insurance or better yet find a mover that won't manhandle my possessions. Let the buyer beware.
Description of Work: Move furniture from Brooklyn, NY to Atlanta, GA

Description of Work: They sent four guys who packed everything super-carefully for temporary storage and then shipment to the Midwest. Everything they packed arrived in good condition and nothing was lost or missing. A couple of minor things I packed myself broke in the boxes, thanks to my bad packing. The two final-delivery guys were a father and son who also did an excellent job. They re-assembled a complicated bed and shelf system without instructions. They were fast, too. Strongly recommend Liffey and Allied. Liffey and two other movers had estimates within about $100 of $10,000, including a month+ storage in New York. Liffey had a good "vibe" and it turns out the vibe was right.

From the first contact through the packing and moving, Liffey Van Lines-Allied Van Lines were superb! After a horrible moving experience 12 years earlier, this experience was at the other end of the spectrum. Our possessions were treated carefully, the packing was done quickly, and the attitudes of everyone involved were that of wanting to be of good service. I would highly recommend Liffey Van Lines!
Description of Work: Moving from apartment in New York to Chicago area. Liffey personnel packed everything except our clothes and everything arrived at the destination in A-1 shape. The movers were on time, efficient and clean.

They were really great for both moves. The estimater knew his business, and what had to be specially crated (like artwork). The price on the fixed price contract was what we were charged. Everything was carefully packed, all furniture shrink-wrapped and there was breakage or damage to our possessions or to the floors or walls in either residence. They whiped their feet before coming into the house, and carried everything within the house (i.e., no dollies were used on the floor)/ They came highly recommended to us, and we could not imagine a smooter move. Also, the crew that moved us were great, and were fine with a moves of chairs, sofas and tables until we decided on the correct spot. Finally, the crew were really nice people.
Description of Work: We used Liffey Van Lines for two moves from Manhattan to Westchester County. In the first move, we did the packing, and in the second move we had them do the packing. The first move was for one full day, and for the second the first day was packing and the second moving.

The estimator was a very experienced older man, James Clogston. All the other extimators from other companies were quite young, The move went exactly as Clogston said it would. Packers came on day one. On day two the majority of the furnityre was taken to our new apartment. (we are doing the unpacking ourselves.) On day three packers packed for Connecticut. On day four they delivered Connecticut. Everything went super smoothly. OUR ECOMMENDATION: DON'T USE THE CHEAPEST ESTIMATE YOU GET. You need movers like Liffey's who know what they are doing, who are seasoned,, not recent arroivals from some other country, no matter how friendly land enthusiastic they may be.
Description of Work: This was a difficult move that took four days, going from a three bedroom apt in Manhattan to a smaller apt and to a house in Connecticut. There was a lot of crystal and antiques to move. While the estimate was on the high side of three we got, the professiionalism of the movers made lit well well worth wihile. Liffey does not fool around with the price. What they estimate lis what they charge-- no more no less. We found this very satisfying. No one was trying to beat the clock.. The movers were very careful, and nothing was broken. Very competent project manager.
