America First Moving

If you are thinking about using this company I recommend that you run for the hills. I thought I was savvy but people, I was conned. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY, unless you want to be swindled, robbed, and gaslighted. Unless you don’t mind using the LEAST professional movers, if you don’t mind being scammed, if you don’t mind your things missing and broken.

The packing was careless to the point of negligence: nearly all the boxes arrived completely crushed; the delivery crew themselves remarked they had never seen packing done so unprofessionally. Many fragile, valuable, and irreplaceable items were destroyed.

The movers also arrived unprepared, without any packing materials, even though I had paid a significant amount to have them pack me. They tried to convince me this was “normal,” but ultimately had to leave for two hours to buy packing supplies—despite there being nowhere nearby to purchase them. This delayed the move and dragged it late into the night.

In one especially egregious case, they forced a $4,000 Sleep Number mattress into a wardrobe box because they did not have the proper mattress carton. By the time it was unpacked a month later, it was completely ruined.

Delivery was no better. The truck was impounded en route. When they finally arrived, they wanted to begin unloading at 9:00 p.m. I refused, and we agreed on a 7:00 a.m. start the next morning — but they did not arrive until 10:00 a.m.

To make matters worse, one box containing shattered glass was never delivered at all—it was left behind in the warehouse. Essential hardware for my TV and tables was misplaced, only to turn up much later in a random box.

On top of all this, I was charged an extra $1,500 beyond the agreed price, even though every item was listed on the inventory sheet. I went through the inventory list 3 times. The list matched what was moved and I was still charged. You are a prisoner. You have no choice but to pay. When I questioned the charge, the company dismissed my concerns and insisted this was “standard,” which I believe was misleading and dishonest.

And the insurance. What a joke. Oh, but their sales people are good. They will promise you everything. Don’t be fooled.

Overall, my experience was extremely negative, and I strongly caution others against using this company.

I only hope time will help me forget this moving company and get over the trauma of having to deal with them. I urge you - learn from my mistakes.

I am not surprised to see other negative reviews on this company and I'm not going to stop until they're held accountable. There are too many accounts online accusing them of wrongdoing. I originally paid them. They sent out a scam company to collect my things. The scam company -Barahones Moving had all kind of strikes and flags against them. Visa did not allow the payment to go through. There was also a third company - Firstline Moving. To make a long story short. I was told they'd accept a credit card. The companies they hired to move my things were not capable of accepting credit cards. I should have been told this upfront.

They presented faulty balled up paperwork(see PDF) collected my things from my home and left! I then received frantic calls from Visa about fraudulent charges on my card. It was the company America's First Moving hired to move my things. The Actual company -America's First basically was done once the paperwork was filled out but I decided since they'd lied to me and had my things stolen, I stopped payment on them. Actually Visa did. I had new cards issued. They'll come on here and say I committed "fraud" or whatever. That's a lie. They hire fraudulent companies to move people. What'd I look like sending payment to a company that has been deemed a scammer. You can look upUGCcontent on Google, Tik Tok and basically any other platform. This is NOT a reliable company. Igf you want your job contracted out to scammers, go right ahead but be warned. It's not a reliable business.

They ruined my move from California to Texas. Original quote est. 1700 final invoice 2700 est all additional fees I was not informed about.

All damages faced:

1.) lost my screws to the bed they broke down so they could not reassemble it completely.

2.) lost two rugs 10x16 and 6x9

3.) broke my full length mirror. I paid additional fees for mirror boxes yet the boxes were square that they put into a makeshift card board front and tied two mirrors together. Obviously one broke!

4.) broke my ottoman- the heal

5.) cracked my end table granite top and tried to hot glue it back together.

When the movers came to my home, I felt I was being scammed. Their priority was to inform me of all the additional costs, then with delinquency, dismissive and a careless attitude miss packed all my large furniture items. I have faced an est. of 600.00 damages. The company does not cover damages, so it looks like I will not get any retribution.

Please save yourself the heartache! Do not use them!

This company contracts out to your pick and delivery people, so your actual movers are not with who you hired. On delivery day, they decided that the truck was "too large to come to my community." They charged me an addituon $580 .

When I got upset and expressed my objections, two so-called supervisors responded with rude condecending remarks, refused to escalate my call, and provided the worst customer experience that I've ever had, in my 57 yrs of life. I believe my move was underbidded and they decided to get me on the delivery side. Quoted $3300, paid $4000.00
