Alliance Movers

Worst moving experience EVER. Beware of this company!!!! They are con artists and are scamming people. They give you a low quote and then hold your items hostage until you pay much more than the initial quote. My husband and I are out thousands of dollars and still haven’t received our items.

They were a day late to pick up and no one called to let us know. It has been almost 3 weeks and we have yet to receive our items. Every time I have called to get a delivery date, no one seems to know where our stuff is or when it will be delivered. Take my advice and do not use Alliance Movers Group!!

THERE ARE MANY ONE STAR REVIEWS FOR A REASON. DON'T HIRE THEM!! I moved from WI to CO from a 900 sq foot log cabin and my initial estimate of a high $6K ended up at $11K and did not know this until their subcontracted movers showed up on moving day, and a day late I may add. All of a sudden there were extra charges.

They never told me they hired out for the actual movers, Alliance contacts you constantly until you book a date, take your money and then wipes their hands of you.

Western Van Lines shows up with 2 guys one day late, then 8 hours late on moving day. 5PM we talk about finances for 1.5 hours before they will lift a finger and Alex the leader is on the phone with people from Alliance speaking in Russian. We DID make the down payment and there was a cap on our Zelle account per day!! Anyway they had to accept a check for the rest of the 70% (was told 50% on the phone by Barry at Alliance) because no banks were open at this time.

THEY FINALLY STARTED WORKING AND WERE AT MY HOUSE UNTIL 2AM, NO EXAGGERATION!! I couldn't believe it!! at that time they said the truck was full and couldn't finish the job. i had an entire u-Haul pod full that i now had to deal with getting to CO, another cost of course.

I had many issues with Western and then the delivery date too and Alliance said i had to directly contact them, they didn't know what Western was doing or planning. Why would they subcontract to this horrible company?

I have much more to complain about with the finances but will leave it at this. DON'T HIRE THIS COMPANY.

I wish I could give this company 0 stars. My first mistake was going with a moving company that basically used a ripped off Avengers logo. Movers were late picking up in the time frame provided. They knew they were not going to make it within the time frame yet waited until after the time to call to say they'd be there an hour late. The workers rushed to move things out to the truck, dropping boxes, and not being careful with things including ripping the plastic wrapping to my mattress which I later found dirt stains because of this. Then, they try to be savvy and have their delivery date as the first possible date. It took them all the way up to the 21 day mark to deliver my items. All of which I had no clue when my items were going to be delivered. I had to call every week for updates to even find out that my items were finally on the way to me-they never even thought to call to notify me. Through one of these times they finally told me my items were in storage in Florida when they never even mentioned if it was a temperature controlled area or how they were kept. I made sure to notify them before my items were even on a truck that an 18-wheeler was not allowed on the street. Yet the driver had no clue and I had to pay an additional fee since they had to carry things from outside of the street to my house. DO NOT GO WITH THIS COMPANY

I am taking the time to submit this review in hopes that I will save someone from an experience like I had with Alliance Movers.

My girlfriend, Lex, and I used Alliance Movers to move some of our belongings from NC to NV. When the movers arrived at our home they immediately changed the amount we owed them to move our things. They blamed one of their employees, and said he shouldn’t have quoted us that price. Lex and I were due in Vegas so our hands were tied and I didn’t have any other option but to pay them the higher price. This is only the beginning.

The company told us our things would be delivered in NV between 10-14 days. 15 days later we had zero confirmation that our things had even left NC. The customer service representative, Nancy, had little to no info and handled our move with little to no care.

Long after we were told our stuff would arrive a truck finally came. This is where things got really bad. You see, not all of our items made it. I was totally heartbroken to find out some of my precious musical instruments were not on the truck. My Martin Acoustic Guitar, Gibson Dobro, and Fender Hot Rod Deville 212 Amplifier were somehow misplaced.

I contacted Nancy about this situation several times and she literally didn’t even apologize or even seem apologetic that her company had negligently handled our move. I have filed a claim with their insurance, submitted police reports, and now I am making sure that the public knows how this company operates.

I am just sickened that my instruments are gone. I paid thousands to make this move and lost thousands more from my items being lost or stolen. Please reconsider if you are considering using this company.

When I first contacted Alliance Movers about my cross-country move, it was not explained to me by Larry that the date that you give them is not a guaranteed delivery date, but rather a “first available” date for when they MIGHT deliver, but contractually they are only obligated to deliver after 21 business days after the first available date. This was much to my surprise when I was called to ask if they had an ETA for when my stuff might come and they could not even give me an estimated date and that my stuff was still in storage in Atlanta. Not wanting to stay in an empty apartment, I decided to go home to my parent’s house when the very next day I get a call out of the blue from the truck driver saying he was an hour away from delivery. Thankfully I was able to get back in time to have them drop off my stuff that day but the whiplash and lack of communication from the company caused me much stress. In addition to this, they were a day late picking up my stuff in Atlanta and dropping off they lost an important part of my bed frame. Communication from the dispatch office was very poor as well. I felt myself having to call them throughout the process to find out the next steps because I had no idea what was going to happen and if I didn’t call to ask nothing was going to happen. The only thing keeping me from giving 1 star are the actual movers. Both picking up and dropping off the moving crews were professional and did some hard work. Basically if you are looking to save money and are fine with Alliance holding your stuff hostage for up to 3 weeks, go ahead and book with them. If you are actually looking to get your stuff where you need it on-time, find a better moving company.

Let me say that all the people are very nice. But, Even though we went room by room for the estimate it was off by was off by half. The truck they sent was to small so we ended up giving things away. The buyers were closing the next day and we were stuck. The cost was almost double the original estimate. Cash mostly up front. After that fiasco was done, we found out that our items were going to be moved to another truck for holding. We had a delivery date of 21 days. What that really means is 21 days later they will contact you for a delivery day sometime coming up. Could be 3 days could be 2 weeks. Our delivery date was roughly 2 weeks from the 21 days. When items arrived we found out that our things had been moved not one time but 2 additional times to other trucks. Amazingly everything arrived. We were glad. But everything and I mean everything was cracked, scratched, broken and damaged. We were asked to file for damages. We did not understand the method used to apply for insurance, but basically what it means is, if you don't buy additional insurance, you get paid pennies on the dollar for your damaged items. We had several items that were valuable and only got around 400. Very bad. So even though the folks are nice, the movers try, it still resulted in us paying upwards of 10,000 to move not including major damage to our heirloom dining table and chairs. Not happy with the end result. I don't know how to move to another state if you aren't able to do it yourself, this was expensive and not a good experience.

Never use alliance Movers, they are liars and cheaters. They gave me a quote to move my three bedroom home with a 26 foot truck to go from Florida to Alabama. They told me the same men that load the truck will unload the truck. Then they called me And told me they wanted to start my job around 4 PM. I told him there is no way they’re going to start my packing and loading my three bedroom house at 4 PM and I wanted to reschedule for earlier during the day. Then at 3 PM a huge truck showed up that already had another Houses furniture in it to be delivered to Virginia on the way to my delivery in Alabama . they then tried to charge me more money than our agreement because I had glass top tables which they knew about when they gave me the original quote. Only after I threw the driver out of my house did the company call me and offer to send me a single truck just for my job during the daytime as originally promised. but then it was too late. I already did not trust them and happily walked away from my 10% deposit and hired another moving company.

Every single person I spoke to at the company, had lied to me on that day
