Long-distance move from Texas to Florida

Damage all my furniture.

To whom it may need some information.  This company is the worst that you can hire.  I have move a few tmes, 7 to say the least and have never encounter this problems, and have never place a complaint in my life.
 
I will be happy to show all the paper work, and I am in the preocess of filing a sue against this comapny.  They not only damage my furniure but stop paying the insurance that I Have on record, so I was denied by the insurance company.
 
Please do not hire this company, read all the reviews and complitas that they have against them. You will be very dissapointed.  and if you need proof off all the damages they caused please do not hesitate to email me.  Claupdv@gmail.com.

Danger!! do Not Hire This Company!!

Danger!! Do not use this company!!  I planned a move from Houston to Dallas.  I was promised/quoted a 32' truck which would handle (promised) 2000 cubic feet of space.  The company arrived with a 26' truck and told me that there would be an additional $650 charge for a second truck.  I complained and they waived the fee, but that was jsut foreshadowing of what was to come. The movers loaded all of my belongings into one truck and drove to Dallas. They screwed around in Houston all day and didn't arrive at my house until 9pm.  When there, they demanded more money than what was quoted and said that they would not release my things until I paid.  They put me on the phone with their "regional manager" that belittled and threatened me.  While I was talking to the manager, the workers quit/left because they didn't think that I would tip them. Nothing was resolved and the driver stayed at my house until 11pm while threatening to drive back to Houston with my things.  I finally agreed to pay more than quoted to get my things and the driver came back in the morning to move us in.  We were bullied into paying more than what we were quoted and on top of all of the aggravation, the mover complained to my wife the whole time. I never write reviews on anyone, but please do not use this company!  Since our experience, I have called the company multiple times to retreive the extra money that was charged and they will not return my call. These guys should be out of business and I hope my review will influence at least one person who would make a mistake by using the company.

Long-distance move from Texas to California

Doen't pick up on time; and rude customer service.

I ordered for moving from Texas to California. My mover was supposed to pick up my stuff on Monday, but they called me that they cannot because they were busy (Don't over book). However, I said ok. They were supposed to pick them up on Tuesday from my storage, which they did not without notifying me. On the day, I even emailed to the moving consultant (who took my order) to ask the drop off date. The response was " Yes our Driver will be picking up today. Our dispatcher will have a drop off date tomorrow afternoon." So, I waited for the call from dispatcher. I did not get any call by the end of Wednesday. I called and I found out that they have not picked up my stuff yet. Their customer service was terrible. It has been already three days behind, but they do not think nothing is wrong! The moving consultant was very nice, but their service is not organized at all. Oh, I got a call on Tuesday morning 7am in CA time (I am already in CA) from their customer service "how did you move go yesterday?" The lady had no idea about the delay. I am still waiting for calls from them to be notified when they are picking up my stuff and when I am getting them here in CA.   .

Long-distance move from Texas to Georgia

Worse Company Ever!!

If you have any breathe left in your body DO NOT use this company.   They were 9 days late on delivery and I was missing boxes with important information that was packed and the company does not care.  CUSTOMER SERVICE DOES NOT EXIST WITH THIS COMPANY.   Lets not forget about the extra charges for 2nd floor that the customer service representative fail to tell you about until the movers get to your residence.   This company was the worse decision I have made all year.

Long-distance move from Texas to Washington

Great Move.

After reading several reviews, I was hesitant to use any moving company - but I took a chance on this company. I'm glad I did. While the pickup was late, it was the same day and they were very professional and apologetic. The driver had a new truck, but you could tell there was engine trouble from the sound of the engine, so it was understandable that they were a little late when driving from Houston to San Antonio. After that, the experience was great. They arrived on time with my stuff, all intact. They unloaded with care and the price was exactly what was negotiated from the beginning. I have recommended these movers to other people.

Long-distance move from Texas to Iowa

Trashy packing, damaged goods, nonprofessional and very late delivery.

I am so motivated to write a review about my bad moving experience with Right Start Moving and American Knights. I signed a contract with Right Start moving for my move from Dallas to Iowa City for a full service pack and move. People from American Knights came to pack my stuff. First they arrived an hour late and then as soon as they stepped into the house they concluded that I had lot of stuff and raised the price. Needless to say that calling Right Start Moving was useless since they did not pick up my phone nor did they answer my voice mails, when thry were so prompt about it before I signed the contract. Since I was running short on time I signed a new contract with increased price. But what a trashy job they did with packing! They brought huge boxes and Literally just threw our stuff in their. They did not care whether the stuff was fragile or glass or whatever. They packed our counter top oven on top of wine glasses which of course broke when we received them. We have so much damages to our plastic wares and glassware! They threw in our XBOX in a huge packing box which had other hard things on top of each other. My 900$ mattress has a big tear and greasy stains all over. On top of this when the movers did not listen to our concerns when they were packing our stuff. I was told that the stuff will reach in 7-10 days but our stuff arrived so late. The dispatcher at American Knights did not answer my phone calls nor did she answer my voice mails. I had to dial another extension to reach her but I must say the guy was kind enough o walk over to her desk and talk to her. My advice would be to stay away from American Knights and Right Start Moving.  I had a very bad experience, I paid a whole lot of money and I have so much damage that I so regret going with them. .

Long-distance move from Ohio to New York

Great job.

I have moved from Ohio to new York. I have to say the best move yet. I will use them again. They were on time, fast, very nice and kind, very respectable. The three guys were amazing. I have been moved before but nothing like this. I have gotten all my things. Nothing was missing, nor broken. Just a happy face from me. Thanks so much. I was so very pleased with my choice. This time better than when I used United Van Lines. Then there were some broke things and TV was missing. Prices were OK, but I really just paid to have all my things broken or missing. My heart was at my feet. They were as useless as a clock flavored lollipop.

Long-distance move from Texas to Arizona

Highly recommended.

Moving is considered one of three stressful matter in life. I have already moved many times in my life. Day by day all movers are getting crazy with their prices which are out of range. But in my last move, luckily I found American knights through one of my friends. Their rate was quite reasonable and affordable to move me from Texas to Arizona. There was no hidden cost in the final bill also. The representative, Megan, have been helpful and informative. On moving day they called me one hour early to inform that they would come. Arturo, The leading person, arrived with other three crews. So far I can remember Joseph and Max were two names out of other three folks'. Unfortunately I forgot the other one’s name! However, they were skilled and supportive to meet my demand. Throughout the move they worked very hard and ensure the safety of my all belongings. I highly recommend them.

Long-distance move from Texas to New York

I am happy to suggest them.

If there is any A team, that is American knights. I usually don’t write review but their exceptional moving attainment helped me to post few words. They had absolutely no complaint though we asked them to move some over size furniture with no elevator at our old apartment. The guys kept focus on their job. They took care of problem right away if there was any. The moving team had several dollies those made their job more fruitful. American knight was fully insured and they showed me the proof. So actually I had no tension at all. We just had a great move in all aspect. I would be happy enough to recommend them.

Long-distance move from California to New York

Outstanding movers.

My life became easier by the help of American knights moving & storage. They are just outstanding. We moved to Louisiana with entire family members. I phoned several movers to know their approximate cost. I felt that American knight might be the best. And I was right; they arrived on time and very aware of their duties. Until the work was over, the guys were not slowing down themselves even for having a tea break. The American knight’s crews have been very diligent. They put tremendous effort to make the wrap and pack as well as making labels on boxes perfect. They successfully finished the move at their quoted time. I think they are the right choice for everyone searching for movers.

Long-distance move from Ohio to New Jersey

They made us happy.

American knights movers have been very much concern with our move. They made us happy by the way they packed our belongings and moved safely. I moved from Ohio to New Jersey. Their crews brought almost new supporting materials and tools in order to pack and load our stuffs. American knight movers possess an excellent customer relation service. Throughout the move they kept constant contact. They always informed me how the move went on. All the awful stories I heard about movers turned into false in my case. I would like to thank American knights once again for the exemplary job done for us.

Long-distance move from North Carolina to Texas

Go with someone else..

If you have options, go with another company.  This has been my third move in 6 years, and by-far the worst company to deal with.  The movers were expected to arrive at 3pm, showed up at 6:30 pm.  Estimated two hour pack (I had packed most of the boxes), took 3 hours, plus an hour to load.  And by "pack" I mean they still left two kitchen cabinets full of pyrex because of time constraints.   Additionally, I had requested weight tickets (it was a DITY military move) which multiple people, including the driver, had agreed to.  Now, three days after delivery, I'm still missing a weight ticket which may force me to stop payment.  Communication was less-than-adequate.  They did call the night before pick-up to arrange the move (but were off by 3.5 hours).  The morning of the delivery in Texas, they originally quoted me for delivery between 8-10 am; had I not called them with an updated contact number, they would not have told me they would be there at 4 pm.  That's another day of work I would have missed for no reason.   Packing:  they did alright packing boxes, but storing them, they put heavy on-top of light boxes, crushing smaller items.  Couches were ripped, knobs of drawers broken, and they packed my computer printer in a plastic hamper, so naturally that was broken upon receipt.  Professionalism:  pant waists were closer to the knees than waist.  But the movers themselves were nice enough.  Just not very efficient, wasting a lot of time.

Long-distance move from New Jersey to South Carolina

The best in every part.

I recently used American knights moving & storage to move my household stuffs to the newly rented apartment in South Carolina. Their employees have been sociable and cooperative. What made me surprised that their consciousness on every sector of work. The movers arrived on time just at 8 a in the morning exactly according to their quoted schedule. They were reliable and completed the move again within the timeline. If I am asked to say about them, I would rate them as good, dependable and efficient movers to whom you can leave your valuables. Their cost was also attractive in relation to the service provided for me. No broken items, no dirt items or no cracked items I found in the stuffs. They are the only mover for me.

Long-distance move from Ohio to New Jersey

Excellent process.

I highly recommend American knights.
Throughout the whole process they did everything excellent. They always replied my call and responded my emails quickly. Their estimate comparatively reasonable, moreover I think, for the weight of my stuffs that was lower. Because they wanted to keep their promise that the guys wouldn’t change the initial price. The crews were on time on calculation time and loading day. The care they took with the protection for my belongings made me really happy. They transported my items within the time frame they promised. Thanks American Knight for changing the stressful experience into a great one. You are really true mover.

Long-distance move from Ohio to New Jersey

Late and Broke Everthing!

Started off well: quick, friendly, and competitive moving quote.  The day of the move also went well with 4 guys moving everything in a very efficient manner. Then things went out of control.  I called multiple times to confirm my delivery date (was supposed to be 7 days later), but no one would call me back.  7 days after the original delivery date (I was staying in a motel all this time with a few pairs of clothes), they finally said someone would be by at noon that day (I had to take a day off from my job after I was already at work).  It wasn't until 6 pm that they showed up and it was only 2 guys!  Worst part of it was one guy was the driver, so he didn't help move anything.  It took 1 guy 5 hours to move all my stuff in and assemble it (I was so frustrated I even helped!).  Here's the worst part: they lost the screws to my bed frame (so it is still unassembled), they destroyed a side table, damaged my desk, broke half my kitchen plates and glasses, damaged my high end stereo speakers, tore apart the fabric on every corner of the mattress and box spring, and crushed every box that was moved (thankfully most of the stuff in the boxes were only scratched because of that).  They left my apartment at almost 1 am.  I will never go with this company again and highly suggest you avoid them, as well.

Do not recomend.

Do not use this company they have the worst service ever! They said my deposit was refundable
Then they tell you. 5-7 business days delivery they give you a date then when that date comes they say is another week then when you call again to confirm is one more day cause the driver doesn't want to deliver that day even though he is only 20 minutes away from where we live and then I call to complain and they hang up the phone. I do not recommend this company.

Long-distance move from Mississippi to Illinois

Flawless service.

How many stars I should give them! I think at least hundred.  The best decision I have taken this year is hiring American knights movers. They expertly moved my duplex household belongings from Mississippi to Illinois. They kept all things intact to move between both separate places those have great distance. I was highly satisfied. They maintained excellent communication with me. Their supervisor helped a lot suggesting me moving tips and to make the inventory list. That made the entire move flawless.

Fast, safe move.

I don't understand all the negative reviews about this company.  All I had was a great, timely and most important safe delivery of my furniture.  They even transported a grandfather clock which can be very difficult to move.  Not one bit of damage and they even had to transfer the whole cargo from a small 14 foot truck to a semi and back to another 14 footer to get to my house which is on country dirt roads.

Long-distance move from Texas to New Jersey

Bait with low total $cost but 3x more expensive.

Main compaint is that they promised $1500 range and then when all items were loaded on the truck, it came up to be $4200.  After I complained, they reduced to $4000. Beware:  They can give you cheap price as a bait and then charge you much and much more.   At the end, you just want to move, so no choice but to pay the price. Uncomfortable experience.

Moving made easy..

I have moved many times in my life. I always dread moving. Lifting all that heavy furniture and appliances. Now that I'm getting older that has become even more of a challenge. I decided to hire movers to move all of the heavy items during this move. That was one of the best decisions of my lifetime. The moving team showed up on time and worked quickly and very efficiently. No time wasted. They moved a complete large truck load of my heaviest items in 4 hours plus 1 hour travel. For less than $500 we were moved.. Wow, that was amazing. They took apart the furniture that needed to be taken apart and reassembled it at the new house. They helped setting up the furniture at the new house. They were everything we could have ask for and more. Money well spent and my back is thanking them today.. I would highly recommend American Knights Movers.. I don't impress easily and I have been known to be very demanding, but no need to be that way with this transaction. This was moving made easy.

Long-distance move from Texas to Colorado

Worst experience ever.

I booked the company based on the good ratings and the fact they actually have their own trucks. Having your own trucks doesn't matter if you can't get them to you client anywhere near the time you promise. I understand that sometimes things happen, but when you book a plane ticket for 4 based on the moving company showing up by 12, and they can't show up by 7, something is wrong. I ended up having to cancel their services and get a penske truck, load it, drive it myself. I lost the money I had spent on the plane ticket and had to miss a day and a half of work because they couldn't be anywhere near accurate with their timing. Horrible experience.

Long-distance move from Texas to New York

Horrible Moving Company.

This "Unamerican" Moving company are swindlers. My move was in June of 2012 but I'm still furious about how I was treated. What wasn't broken or damaged was stolen of most of my furniture. They really went out of their way to be as un-American as possible. They quoted $5,500 for the move and added another $3,500 to the price before the same truck in my then driveway the company.
- Do not rebuttal comments or reviews left. I would have been better off renting a moving truck and a car trailer and taking turns with my husband driving from Texas to New York. I have regretted not doing that. The way they packed some of the items were horrible and made them get damaged. When my items finally showed up two weeks after the pickup in Texas, there were items missing that no one can pack, a trash can, a step-ladder and wheels were broken off other items like a pantry I owned and a laundry sorter. I'm still trying to find a replacement wheel for the laundry sorter almost four years later. I don't believe in throwing things out that can still be used. I'm by no means a millionaire. The movers that were hired in New York to move the items off the truck were ex-cons that weren't at all interested in working at all. One of the guys, whined the whole time how it was his birthday and fought with the driver to pay him first before moving anything which was over an hour's time. Coincidentally, it was also my husband's birthday and my husband and I were moving more of our things we spent $9,000 to be moved than the movers that were being paid to move our things. That same guy was also whining about moving heavy things. Dah, a real wood entertainment center weighs a lot and hey, don't move people's things for a living if you have a problem picking up people's heavy furniture. It was also raining and the driver was throwing our household goods off the truck in the middle of the rain. Did I mention the driver was very rude also? Well, I had a certified check made out for the rest of the amount for a grand total of $9,000 for the move to ensure I would not be milked out of anymore money. The truck that was moving our stuff had a big hole in the ceiling in the back of the truck. About ten boxes of our stuff was drenched ruining books, etc. Can you imagine spending a small fortune for the items you paid to have moved and then a lot of them getting ruined? Well, if you hire these foreigners plan on that exact thing happening. None of the employees that I have met were originally from the U.S. How can your name be "American Knights Moving" and you don't employ any real americans? You are better off moving yourself or selling and/or giving all of your stuff away before leaving. Their mediation to settle the claim you file is a complete joke! After nine months of waiting on the company to settle my claim, they tried to award me $5. That's a horrible joke! Thousands of dollars in damaging furniture and breaking more than a few things also. A box with pesos and other coins I had collected that I wanted the movers to tape up and put on the truck ended up mysteriously missing! At least over $100 worth coins that I didn't claim to be missing because I thought my claim would be settled for at least $1,000 to replace missing and broken items. So, they're also thieves!
