Several wooden dressers, some of which were heavy antiques, were moved with exceptional care and attention to detail. The movers wrapped every piece in protective padding and carefully navigated each one through tight spaces. Not a single dent or scratch on any of the dressers, and they were placed exactly where we wanted in the new home. Their expertise in handling large, fragile furniture was evident from start to finish. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them for antique furniture moves!

I'll first say that this company moved our belongings safely and quickly.

However, I would not have signed up with them if they had been honest about their quote. I have text messages from [NAME EDIT] saying my move would be "$7,000 flat." I responded "and that's for the full truck? And if we use less we pay less?" "Of course, just like we spoke about that in the last texts. Then I asked for clarification about per foot, and he said "you are using around 21 ft of the truck. However, they don't make 21 ft trucks so they'll send you a full truck of 26'. If you use less than 21' it will be prorated.

So that point, I knew that we wouldn't go with them because we were pretty sure we'd take up an entire truck. So I said "Oh so this price is already for 21 feet?? I thought it was 26. And if we use more than 21, we are charged more. I'm sorry, this was not my understanding." His response was "nope, this is the whole truck." Of course I should have double checked the numbers in the quote to see that they were for the whole truck, but when you have it in writing, it just seems like you can trust the person to be honest.

Before our move, I suggested my mom also get a quote from them since they had worked to get down to a reasonable price. When she didn't sign with him immediately, he started yelling at her on the phone, which made her uncomfortable and made me worry that I had signed on with a sham.

Fast forward to moving day, our things are all loaded on the truck, and I get a call from [NAME EDIT] informing me that my move is going to cost $9,910. Almost $3,000 more than expected and way above our budget. But that he would discount it down to the original $7000 if my mom signed with him. When I told him that I would not have him just put my mom in a bad situation so that I could save $3000, he started yelling at me. He also called my mom separately to try to convince her to do it so I could save the money.

I obviously paid them because they had my stuff and we needed it moved. But we never would have gone with them if [NAME EDIT] had been honest about the pricing. He even called me the day our things arrived trying me to get my mom to go with him.

Even though they moved our stuff well, I would NEVER recommend this company because of the deceitful communication and the way [NAME EDIT] spoke with my mom and myself when we disagreed with him.

I recently relocated to a new city to start over, and I'm so glad I hired these movers. They arrived on time and handled everything with care, even my cookware and heavy furniture. I had various fragile goods, such as glassware and artwork, and they took extra pains to ensure nothing was broken. The team was friendly and made me feel at ease during what was an emotional transition. They even advised me on the best way to organize my furniture in the new house. Their expertise and attention to detail were exceptional, and they played a significant role in making my relocation stress-free.

Moving amid a heat wave was not something I was looking forward to, but the movers were incredible. They worked tirelessly in the blazing heat to ensure that all of my items were packed and safely delivered. Despite the harsh conditions, they maintained a positive attitude and worked efficiently. I was apprehensive that the heat would slow things down, but they stayed on time and completed the job without incident. Their professionalism and hard effort were greatly valued, particularly considering the circumstances. I would strongly suggest their services, regardless of the weather.

Relocating from a home that included many built-in appliances required extra effort. The movers coordinated with us to disconnect appliances like the dishwasher and oven, handling each step with care. They packed the units with protective material and ensured everything was labeled for easy reconnection. Once at the new home, they helped position each appliance where it needed to be. Their willingness to handle even the most cumbersome parts of the move saved us a lot of stress and time.

We moved to a new home that has a dedicated playroom for our kids, and the movers were simply amazing. They handled the packing efficiently, taking extra care with all the kids’ toys and furniture. The team was punctual and polite, and they kept the whole process organized. Once we reached the new house, they unloaded everything and placed it in the designated rooms, making it easier for us to get set up. Their attention to detail meant that the kids were enjoying their playroom by the end of the day.

I just bought our first home, and the movers made the experience wonderful. They arrived promptly and packed all our belongings with great care, including fragile items that were important to us. The team worked efficiently, labeling boxes clearly for easy unpacking. They were also very accommodating when we asked them to place items in specific rooms. Their friendly attitude and professionalism made moving into our first home a great memory. We’re so glad we chose them.

I had the pleasure of working with Allegiance Van Lines Company for my move on August 12th, and they made a typically stressful day feel completely manageable. Oliver and his team arrived well-prepared and quickly got to work packing up my two-story home. What stood out the most was their careful attention to my fragile items and the extra care they took with my piano, ensuring it was securely wrapped and transported. Despite the complexity of navigating narrow hallways and stairs, the team handled everything with ease and professionalism. The entire process was seamless, and I was impressed with their punctuality and communication. I would gladly use Allegiance Van Lines again!

Moving out of a shared house can be difficult, especially when attempting to avoid taking goods that do not belong to you. The movers made this portion of the process really simple. They were extremely careful to name and identify which items were mine, and they even double-checked with me before packaging anything suspicious. They worked rapidly but did not rush, ensuring that everything was in order before loading the truck. By the end of the move, there were no misunderstandings, and my roommates and I were both pleased with how everything went. Their meticulous attention to detail was particularly noteworthy.

I am a Realtor. I have an 85 year old couple who are clients moving from Tallahassee, fl to North Carolina. The company gave them a low price to move them when they first made contact. They have paid them 3458.00 as a deposit. Now that they are a month from their scheduled move date, the price has gone up due to the company saying the first quote did not include packing. I am trying to get my clients money back for them. The company is trying to keep it. It is disgustingly shameful. The better business bureau is my next stop.

They are signed up with a new moving company who actually waits until the packing and move has been made before being paid. Imagine that.

THIEVES! Stay away from the guy named Anthony. He mis-estimated our move quote, asked for double the amount when movers came home to pack. We couldn’t afford the new quote and we had no choice but to cancel the move. A hidden clause in an email that I had agreed to didn't let us get our deposit back and we lost $1650 when we were tackling expenses with the new born and move across the country. I made a huge mistake by trusting Anthony and Allegiance Van lines and transferring our hard earned money as deposit. In return the guy used words like “profanity” over the phone when we asked for cancellation. He stopped receiving my husband’s calls. Our stuff was partially packed, ready to move and Allegiance Van Lines and Anthony left us in a terrible situation with our parents visiting us and a new born. Allegiance claims that they are veteran owned, I don’t believe that. My husband is an Army veteran and this is not how veterans treat other veterans. As a new mother, I not only lost money but peace of mind and trust. I will not recommend Allegiance, and if you do decide to hire them please read their terms and conditions in detail. I have an email from Anthony promising the return of deposit if we decide to cancel and it had a hidden line in email footer that cancellation cannot be done before 10 days of move.

Was quote $2995 for 400 cf ended up paying $5245! I measured in front of them 400cf and still charged me for 800 cf. I had to pay $995 to book them, $2586 the day before pickup then additional $500 (they wanted to charge me and extra $1600, since one of the workers said it was 800cf without measuring.) They took my load from Arizona back to California then put it on a semi to Oklahoma. When they came to delivered I paid the balance of $954 plus $75 for extra 20 ft from front of the building and $75 more for 12 more steps! The SAD part is several irreplaceable items were broken: handmade doll bed by me deceased father, handmade Japanese doll & case by my Japanese grandmother deceased, china pieces from Japan, gouges in furniture, broken frame, mugs, dining chairs spindles pulled out, etc. I feel taken advantage of cause I am a 68 yr old single women. Next time I will pay some to drive a UHaul and fly them back, I would have been cheaper and things would not of been broken. I called several times to complain: Micheal gave me the first quote and was great; Frankie was wonderful but she was not in a position to make changes, Anthony was very pushy and condescending, Barbara (dispatcher for drivers) just kept telling me to read the contract but didn’t know it herself. I was so excited when I got my first quote I was telling everyone what a great company I found only to tell them later to never use them!

I contracted full pack 1500cf (under agreement to pay only actual cf moved) move from NYC to CA.

AVL movers arrived w 16ft/800cf capacity truck & NO packing materials - none were ever received on first day; NEVER came as scheduled or w enough materials; disappeared in the middle the day to supposedly get more materials - but never enough; forced donation of $5K of personal items I wanted to keep that didn’t fit in truck; delayed my departure from NYC; & caused 4 days of chaos & extreme stress.

AVL charged $15034 for 1900cf (discount of claimed 2000cf). When questioned in NYC AVL insisted truck had 2000cf & threatened to impound my goods if I didn’t pay extra.

This is a $10471 OVERCHARGE based on truck size - (800cf is 40% of 2000cf so correct price should have been of $4663)

AVL charged FULL BALANCE on FRAUDULENT amount upon NYC departure IN VIOLATION OF THE CONTRACT - only 70% of balance was due.

Before arrival in CA, AVL demanded I convert entire move cost to ACH transfer; tried to cancel contract; denied approval of full payment for move by my elderly mother’s credit card that they had approved & charged 4 TIMES; & demanded $4133 not due to get the truck opened or they would impound my goods.

Truck size confirmed upon delivery as 16ft/800cf & proof provided to AVL: photos of truck w time/date stamps in NYC and CA and Penske rental agreement in name of subcontractor confirming 16ft truck – all w matching license plate & truck tracking numbers.

In response, AVL continued to threaten I pay additional $4133 or they would impound my goods & then stopped communicating. I notified AVL that if they did not engage that I would pay the driver $1350 ($.45 x 3000 miles) to open/unload truck & they would have to reimburse me.

AVL refuses to resolve the issue.They have not been truthful with Citicards on 2 occasions as I tried to resolve through the credit card company. Formal claim for $12,388 filed w AVL had 20+ exhibits of proof including text from subcontractor admitting 16ft truck size:

$10,471 overcharge for truck size,

+ $1350 to open truck;

+ $671 in credit card fees;

+ $392 delayed flight expense.

This does not even include the things that were broken due to what witnesses have described as 'ghetto packing'. I just don't have the bandwidth to deal with as I take care of my ill mother.

AVL tried to tell me I didn’t know the size of truck & its capacity & that the truck made 2 trips from NYC to CA! It would have taken THREE trips to move 2000 cf in an 800cf trip!

AVL is NOT HONEST. Against all indisputable proof provided, AVL continues to perpetuate this fraud. DO NOT USE ALLEGIANCE VAN LINES UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.

Allegiance promotes itself as a vet run company that helps veterans, and it appeared to have high ratings. During our initial telephone conversation, they assured us that the company would do a full pack and move everything to our satisfaction. On that basis, we signed the estimate and sent the required deposit of $3,458. Later, after rechecking the contract, we noted a lack of wardrobe boxes. We called, and they then told us packing wasn’t included. We are in our mid-eighties and would never have agreed to use the company if full pack was not included.

The initial contract was for $9,380.80. When we called to confirm our moving date, they then added packing fees, raising the bottom line to $11,180.80.

When we tried to negotiate with them, they refused to budge. We asked Allegiance to return our deposit, and they refused. I am a veteran and by this time we realized the company was exploiting us, veteran or not.

We then checked with a reputable company which gave us an estimate which included the full pack for $8,538.27 and does not require a deposit. We learned later that most companies do not require an upfront deposit.

After our realtor wrote a negative review about Allegiance on our behalf, Allegiance called and emailed us several times, offering to lower the price to the original, including full pack and building crates – all of which we had assumed was covered by the original paperwork. Since these changes did not happen until after the negative review was published, and they still refused to return the deposit, saying the agreement was good for 18 months, we lost complete confidence in the company’s professional integrity and honesty. We felt we could not use them under any circumstances.

The company may say that they bent-over backwards to accommodate us, but that only happened after the negative review. We found the company misleading, rude, and unprofessional.

The guy that I initial talked too said they were not a broker (second Party mover), which a day before the move I found out this was a lie. When I contacted the Manger he informed I could not pay with card for the pick up and drop off. After asking why I could not pay with a card like I did the initial deposit he just said it was in the contract, come to find it because he is not the mover. After some words exchanged back and forth he proceeded to tell me that he makes more money than I do and that I shouldn't be moving. Horrible business do not use.

Steve lied to me about the moving timelines & service for moving our disabled son’s apt. He has not returned calls & he said that it would be a direct move in 7-10 days.

The furniture is at 18 days and counting stored in a Las Vegas warehouse with A to Z moving & Storage and they have no date for delivery or transport yet.

Horrible service & we don’t know if it will ever show up. I highly recommend finding a honest company who keeps their promises. We are very disheartening for our disabled son to sit in a vacant apt. waiting for 3 weeks/month for his belongings to arrive. We called A to Z. Movers & they were rude and dismissive on the phone. No guaranteed dates out of storage.

First, I was charged double from the initial quote that I was given for my long distance move (typical). Second, I had the worst experience with this company. Allegiance Van Lines hires other contracted movers to move people. The people that they hired "Moving Pros" did the following:

- Destroyed a brand new coffee table that I had ordered from Wayfair. (Smashed boards in half.))

-Removed the contents that I packed in a stainless steel garbage can and stole or lost them, dented that garbage can.

-Did not deliver half of my Kenmore vacuum cleaner, (The part that vacuums.)

-Removed a lampshade and did not deliver that.

-Smashed 3 boxes of dishes that were labeled fragile.

-Took a part a queen bed frame upon pick up and then refused to reassemble that at the final destination. They also lost the screws to this brand new bed frame and gauged the footboard.

-Ripped the back off of one of my nightstands, ripped the top off of the other nightstand.

- In addition to the listed above; I am a single middle aged woman who moved long distance by herself. The head mover from Moving Pros "Mohammad" was extremely nasty/mean, screamed at me and was verbally assaultive while I was alone in the presence of 4 movers on a rural country property. It was a frightening, and horrible experience.

You cannot get a hold of these contracted movers to file a claim. They are not a legitimate business. The insurance provided is useless.

Allegiance Van Lines did not return a single phone call to help me deal with this ordeal. When I finally filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau they responded with emails of "concern." Allegiance Van Lines offered me 300$ in "initial" compensation for my ordeal. After I accepted that amount they stopped responding to my emails. Since I did file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau they had to pay me the 300$. (The damage and missing items were at minimum 1000$.)

Please stay away from this company and hire a well known carrier. The experience that I went through being treated badly, having my personal items stolen and destroyed and then being dismissed was a learning experience. I am begging all consumers to stay away from these people.

* They are good at writing response emails however their responses do not match the actual treatment that you get from them once you have hired them. If I can save one consumer from being scammed this review has done its job.
