Overall, experience was okay. I've never hired movers before so I'm not exactly certain on what the usual process is. I spoke with a very courteous fella to discuss the details over the phone and he set me up with a crew of two guys that were very helpful. I think I would have appreciated a followup phone call to assure my experience was a good one but it was mid-summer so I'm sure they were a busy lot.
Description of Work: Helped me to transport a UHAUL box from the facility to my new home and then even helped place and setup furniture.

Description of Work: I brought a few boxes of old tax records for secure shredding. I had called in advance to ensure the mobile shredding truck was on-site and had an operator available (since the truck seems mostly to be used at off-site, commercial locations). Aside from the initial coordination, this was all quite convenient.

Generally went very well in all respects. initial explanations thorough and later questions answered fully, though sometimes communications not immediate or accurate due to large number of individuals involved who seemed not to talk to each other, and mixups about phone number and e-mail to use. Final cost less than initial estimate and appropriate. Packers spent whole day working hard but carefully, especially on large number of pictures, dishes, and memorabilia. Approved without issue many boxes of breakables we carefully packed. Moving out crew arrived very early without callling ahead but adjusted. A shuttle van was required, but team was very effective and organized to complete move out in one day. Both out and in crews were professional in every way, though the English language skills of some were limited. Driver Gilbert was particularly well-organized, pleasant, and communicative. Moved in 3 days later than originally indicated, but 2 days earlier than later stated, causing some confusion. Moving in went fast and without incident with the crew following directions very well about where to put items. No major damage or breakage occurred. All items were ultimately accounted for; the crew was very responsive about finding a few boxes apparently missing among the 400+ involved.
Description of Work: American of Virginia agent visited home to estimate cost and make arrangements for cross-country move to down-size from home of 25 years to new house. Provided estimate, scheduled packers and driver, monitored moving out. After moving out, independent driver was responsible for transporting goods and moving in.

Description of Work: Arranged two jobs with owner and myself. One to move two dressers at my home, the other to move daughter from one apt to another. Office lady called and had the jobs mixed up. She lectured me about the moving business and the costs. The daughter move people went perfectly; the other move of two dressers upstairs while they were in area - the two workers were great - the supervisor was snappy and wouldn't let them help with a couple of other small items (move two small dressers downstairs and take away a dresser to their warehouse that we no longer wanted and the owner said they would do. A shame - owner was nice, workers nice (we tipped on both occasions) but office worker and supervisor ruined any future work orders from us or referral.

I accepted estimates from three companies. American was not the lowest estimate (not to exceed), but they assured me that American employees would pack and move my furniture. Some companies are brokers, posting the job on a bulletin board for any company to bid. All employees involved were professional and courteous, especially Joe, the driver. I would use American again, although I hope this is our last move. American helped with reducing our stress level by keeping us informed on all the steps along the way and completing a very successful move. Well done, American!
Description of Work: American packed and moved my household goods from Williamsburg, Va. to Scottsdale, Arizona. I had 10,600 lbs. of furniture.

Will fill in all details when move is finished.
Description of Work: Have not actually made the move yet. My husband and I went to their office and was treated exceptionally well. Very friendly staff willing to help with any of our needs. The pricing was in our budget range. I have no doubt that our move will be very successful. We did not contact another mover as this one suited us. Sincerely, Brigitte Langhurst

The move was pricey, but the services were everything worth! Punctuality, accurate binding estimate, good quality of the completed work and professionalism would characterize my moving experience with Atlas. Thank you Atlas and the American of Virginia,Inc ! Simona Parvulescu-Codrea Phoenix,AZ
Description of Work: I searched several companies before determining, which company I will hire. Atlas was one of the companies, which had excellent reviews on the Business Bureau site, likewise Angie's list. I liked that the company had local reps (in my case in Virginia), who came promptly and accurately evaluate the household to be moved.From the reviews read on the BB 's site about various moving companies, I understood that the most of the problems were generated by the discrepancy between the " binding quote" and the actual final price to be paid, once the move was completed. Thus, I was very glad to benefit from the service offered by Atlas, because it provided a reliable quote. I also valued the fact that the reps and movers were very PUNCTUAL ! That is quite a virtue, which should be generously acknowledged. The crew, who packed my belongings, was polite, professional and fast.The crew was also professionally and cleanly dressed. Another concern which I read about, when surfing the Web about different moving companies, was about the quality of the boxes used during the moving process. The boxes used for my move were in good shape and clean; the paper used to pack my belongings was of good quality and the movers used a fair quantity of both items in order to ensure that nothing is going to be damaged during the move. Another quality to be acknowledged in the case of Atlas, was the communication. Agents were available at the indicated times and my requests have been promptly addressed. Even when I asked for an official receipt, this was promptly issued. The company had to move my household from Charlottesville, VA to Phenix, AZ. We could discuss and find out of a reasonable date for the arrival of my belongings. As in Charlottesville, in Phoenix too, the reps of this company showed a very professional attitude. The driver was very punctual and the whole crew provided services of high quality throughout the whole moving process. The move was pricey, but the services were everything worth! Thank you Atlas and the American of Virginia,Inc ! Simona Parvulescu-Codrea Phoenix,AZ

moved house furniture and large workshop tools and equipment. They were on time arriving, went through the house with us to see what of the furniture was to be moved and what was not. We had them move some relatively expensive and some hand made furniture. they carefully wrapped each piece of wood furniture and stowed it away for transport. They loaded the truck, hauled it across the mountain and unloaded at our new home the same day. nothing was damaged that we could see. Tommy and his crew were professional, courteous, and helpful. Would recommend company to anyone.
Description of Work: removed selected furniture from home, hauled it 50 miles away, unloaded it and put into specific rooms
