Authority Moving Experts

If you are looking to be scammed, this is the moving company to choose!

They will lure you in with attentive and consistent communication, a reasonable price, and what appeared at the time to be a fair delivery time window. Also, if you are moving out of state, they will subcontract you out to even MORE scammers, if you didn’t think that was possible – just wait and see (more on Luxury Logistics and their link next, since as you can imagine, Authority Movers did not disclose this!)!

I was told multiple times that my out of state move would take 4-7 days. Guess what? Multiple that 7 Days by about 4. Yes, you read that correctly! I moved on April 25th, to have my things arrive on May 20th! The 4–7-day frame turned into digging into the fine print of reading that they really have 21 BUSINESS DAYS and you better bet they intend on using it.

If you are still interested in moving forward, I will give you a little tidbit of advice, purchase an AirTag! I put an AirTag in my boxes and on my several follow up calls there were occasions where I was blatantly lied to (them telling me they were en route) when I could see they were sitting at their warehouse in NJ.

Can’t forget the time I was told my items were getting ready to be shipped the next couple hours (this was a Thursday night) only to find out Saturday that they could not find a driver due to the Mother’s Day weekend. Note to self, make sure your logistics company does NOT observe hallmark holidays.

If you want to further the scam, their payment methods will surely seal the deal! I was told at first Zelle/Venmo would work for the pickup payment with Luxury Logistics, as the first payment was done via CC with Authority Moving. Well, conveniently over a week later I was told this was incorrect, you guessed it! They only would accept methods of payments that no doubt the IRS would deem acceptable – good old wire transfer! But of course, what option do you have when these trustworthy folks have all your belongings. It gets better! They will also just happen to do “research” on your street before telling you your things are en route to let you know that their truck would not be able to make it on your street and you would require a shuttle. So, for a fine price of $700 extra I was told my things would be forthcoming. When finding out my options, the polite woman on the phone told me (in AZ at the time) that I could just get my own truck in NJ. Customer service was five stars, indeed.

After many nags about wanting to pay with Zelle, it MIRACULOUSLY was an option again at the final payment. Amazing!

The drop off was sunshine and rainbows as one would expect, the driver was incredibly rushed to get to their next drop off location. Don’t even bother labeling your boxes with key words like “fragile” or indicating which was is up on the box. This doesn’t matter! All boxes were upside down, it was great for anxiety seeing the driver and his partner tossing these boxes to each other from the truck!

All in all, if you are looking for a great moving experience that involves scams in all directions, I would recommend giving this organization a call!

I couldn't be happier with the service provided by the moving company AME have found for us. From the moment I reached out to AME, I was impressed by their professionalism and commitment to making my move as smooth as possible. They carefully facilitated the entire process, ensuring that all my requirements were met. The company they connected me with was prompt and efficient. They arrived on time and handled the packing and loading with great care. The unloading and unpacking process was equally seamless, thanks to the expertise and attention to detail of the team. Thank you for your exceptional customer service!

As someone who has had bad experiences with moving companies in the past, I was skeptical about hiring another one for my most recent move. And AME’ service was the best solution for me. They did all the homework: gave me the best quote, found and coordinated a very professional movers’ team, and worked with them closely, making sure everything is taken care of. They not only provided great insurance options to protect my belongings during the move, but the movers also took great care to ensure that everything arrived at my new home safely and intact. They were professional and courteous throughout the process, and I felt confident that my belongings were in good hands. Thank you, it was a pleasure.

I only gave this company a single star because zero stars was not an option. Hired these guys last ‎summer from the Midwest to the east coast. They were very competitively priced, which in hindsight ‎should have been more of a red flag, but they had good Google reviews. (I now believe many of these ‎reviews are fakes.) I believe they are actually brokers instead of movers, as I learned later. They ‎subbed the actual work out to a ragtag outfit called Safer Movers who was equally terrible. Safer ‎Movers showed up a day late in a rented U-Haul to pick up our stuff. They looked at our full 12 X 14 ‎storage space, informed us that it was more than they had estimated, and almost doubled the price. ‎So much for their competitive price! In any other business scenario, I would have aggressively ‎protested, I'd given them the exact dimensions of the storage space, and detailed all of the significant ‎pieces of furniture, etc... But they had me over a barrel. I had flown in from the east coast, was ‎scheduled to fly back that evening, and they were already a day behind. They were supposed to ‎deliver it the following week, but they didn't show up or call. I called Affordable Moving Experts a ‎number of times, and each time I was assured it would be "later in the week", or "early next week", ‎etc... They often failed to return calls and I almost always had to call them to get an update. Finally, ‎after more than a dozen calls, they showed up...a month and a half late...on a Sunday...and refused to ‎unload the truck unless I paid them in cash. They wouldn't accept a credit card, which is how I paid the ‎deposit. Nor would they accept a check. I don't know about you, but I don't keep thousands of dollars ‎in cash on hand on the off chance that I will be extorted by an unscrupulous mover. I had "words" with ‎the owner, who threatened to take our belongings back to his warehouse in a different state and ‎charge $600/day for storage if we didn't pay him in cash, which was pretty rich considering he ‎supposedly had already been storing our stuff for free for over a month and half. I ultimately ended ‎up having to call the local police, who gave them the choice of either unloading the truck or getting ‎arrested for theft and extortion. And I paid them with a check. I'll conclude by strongly recommending ‎that you never do business with this company. In my opinion, they are scam artists, not a legitimate ‎moving company.‎

Moving can be such a hassle, but AME made it a breeze for me. From the moment I contacted them, their team was responsive and courteous, and they made the whole process so smooth and easy. The movers they sent were professional and diligent, and everything arrived safe and sound. Even though I have changed the dates of the move twice, they were very patient and friendly. And took care of all the rescheduling. It was a hard job done very well and smoothly. They have my highest recommendations.

I recently used them for my move, and let me tell you - they're the real deal! Their team was super responsive and provided great customer service throughout the entire process. From accurate estimates to great insurance options, they made sure everything was transparent and honest.

But what really blew me away was the crew sent by them. These guys were professional, diligent, and took great care in handling my belongings. They made sure everything was safe and secure during the move, which really put my mind at ease.

Overall, I highly recommend this moving service to anyone in need of a smooth and stress-free move. Their team is top-notch, and they really go above and beyond to make sure everything is taken care of. Thanks again for making my move a success!
