      Great experience

      I recently used this moving company and had an excellent experience. The crew arrived on time, worked efficiently, and treated all of my belongings with care. They wrapped fragile items, protected my floors and walls, and made sure everything was loaded and unloaded without any damage. Communication was clear and professional throughout the entire process and the team maintained a positive attitude during heavy lifting and tight spaces. Their attention to detail and willingness to go the extra mile ensured everything was placed exactly where I wanted it. The pricing was fair and there were no surprises. I recommend this company to anyone needing a reliable, hardworking, and trustworthy moving service. I will definitely use them again in the future.

      Moving from Tampa to Orlando

      America First Moving made what could’ve been a stressful day feel like a breeze. I was moving from Tampa to Orlando, and their team showed up early, fully prepared, and with great attitudes. They packed everything with so much care—even my awkward-shaped furniture and electronics were handled like fragile antiques. What stood out most was their speed without sacrificing quality. I didn’t have to lift a finger. Definitely the most professional moving service I’ve worked with in Florida!

      Don’t deserve 1 srar

      STAY AWAY!!!!! Worst experience ever, worst company. Started off being lied to. Was charged 95.00 more because of a flight of stairs which they was told from the start. My belongings was picked up Jan 24, here it is Feb. 24 and everything I own is not here. Has cost me over 500 to replace dishes and pans and other stuff needed for everyday use. Every time I called was told it will be here next week . Was told in the beginning that it would take 4 to 10 days for the truck to get to me. I had tried canceling for medical reason which I was told I could do before signing a contract, yes I could cancel but at the cost of 750.00 . So instead of going needed treatments to fix my broken wrist I rushed up to Fl because I was told if I wasn’t here when driver came an additional charge would be made. I couldn’t afford the price to begin with . It was Jan. 24 they picked up everything I owed and here it is Feb. 24 and still being told it will be here next week. This is a Horrible Company, should not be allowed to stay in business. I wish I would have read reviews before hiring, if there was any good ones they had to be written by someone within the Company. I am hoping that after talking…

      Untrustworthy Scam Artists Holding My Belongings Hostage

      America First Moving Services has nonexistent professionalism or reliability. Beware of unexpected price increases after they load your belongings onto the truck. Additionally, they and their subsidiaries (AMB Moving and Storage Inc. and Sorto Express Transportation Inc.) will hold your belongings hostage, with little to no support from anyone in resolving these issues. Only "give us what we want, how we want it."

      The company outsources its moves to third-party contractors, who in turn hire day laborers from in front of Home Depot, making it difficult to track shipments or hold anyone accountable. I’ve been waiting months for my belongings; I’m being pressured into paying additional fees before they’ll deliver my belongings. This is a scam company; they will lie and agree to any request to get your business, then bait and switch and provide nothing promised in the contract or via phone. I never authorized them to place my belongings in storage; they’re holding my items hostage and charging me storage fees for it.

      They took what they wanted out of my storage and left the rest, saying the whole truck wasn’t allocated to me. I’m still paying for a $500-a-month storage unit and…

The Worst"customer service" ever!

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

Hi there, Ms. Harris

We are terribly sorry to hear that you feel this way, and as such, we have listened to both recordings that you are referencing. Both representatives were calm and professional with you, giving a thorough explanation of the charge for the "shuttle fee". If a semi is unable to access the delivery location safely, is impeding oncoming traffic, and/ or causing risk to other potential drivers/ not following standard traffic regulations, a shuttle service may be deemed necessary.

We always do everything possible to try to avoid this service as it can be quite tedious for all parties involved; however, in this case, a shuttle was required for overall safety. We apologize for this inconvenience and can see the overall cost of the shuttle service was also discounted to assist with any applicable overage. If there is anything further we can do to assist or review this further, we are more than happy to speak with you in the Customer Support department.

Long-distance move from Queen Creek, AZ to Camden, SC

Beware!

TOTAL SCAM!!!! This company is a joke. They are brokers, so they contract out. Everything they tell you means nothing. Whatever contract you sign with them means nothing. The only thing that matters is the contract you sign with an actual moving company ( that you don't choose) and you don't sign their contract until all your things are loaded. Moved from AZ to SC, America First told us our things would be here 5 days after pick up. The actual moving company told us at pick up it would be 22 business days. At that piont, we had no other options. Also, they call two days prior for an accurate item and box count to sure up your estimate. When the moving company arrived our estimate doubled. Again we were moving and had no options. Total bate and switch.

Long-distance move from Round Rock, TX to Woonsocket, RI

Will sell your move to the worst movers!!! Beware

1) I was charged $743.74 more for alleged “extra space needed for 150cft” that wasn’t needed. I used to run dispatch for my truck driver friend on the weekends while in school. My stuff could easily fit in 300cft. I was charged for close to 800 cft. But my stuff was actually shoved into 300cft and I have pictures and video to show it

2) my furniture arrived completely beat up and destroyed

3) my furniture was indeed delivered by a company that wasn’t Jackson Movers, making the claim you’re NOT brokers a complete lie

4) was yelled at by billing person for trying to pay by calling/ emailing and texting

5) missed the 21-day mark and if I hadn’t been diligent about following up, wouldn’t have ever been on the schedule

6) rude movers who did not like me asking questions and huff and puff when I tell them where things go

7) completely destroyed my plants trying to park the truck and almost totaled my car

8) Demanded payment before even parking the truck

These are my true observations and I’ll be leaving honest reviews in all platforms with my pictures. I would not choose your company even for junk removal. Not to mention I was told I’d have a weekend delivery with a 48-hour heads up and I was given less than 24hours notice from an unknown caller who said my delivery would be 3 to 5 the next day. They showed up at 5:12 and started ordering me to pay and lock my 2 small and friendly dogs in a restroom. Delivery people completely destroyed and textured my newly installed flooring and scratched and stained my newly painted walls. One was on his phone the whole time while the other snapped “no” for every answer.

Thank you for your feedback in regard to your relocation experience. We appreciate you taking the time to share with us. It is unfortunate that you did not have the move you were anticipating. However, moving can be and is a stressful event. Several topics you pointed out are listed within the agreement such as ETA timelines for pick up and delivery, procedures onsite, if the cost increased due to additional space used by your items, and required packing materials or services had to be performed to complete your move. We ask you to please review your agreement that discloses these important topics and if you have further questions, please reach out to the support staff at the toll-free number on your paperwork. Thank you again and have a great day.

Long-distance move from New Jersey to Florida

Still waiting

On July 11th I spoke with a man named chris baker who I have to come realize sweet talked and manipulated me into hiring this company for my sons move from New Jersey to Florida for college. I did not realize that I was using a broker at the time. He moves you through the contract quickly in an effort to not see all the fine print. I was told that August 5th was the pick up date to ensure a delivery for the 13th through 15th. They did not give me a choice with the pick up date. I called and emailed them many times between the 5th and 13th to confirm the date of delivery but no one answered me until yesterday. I have called them twice today and the second time I was told that they don’t have the load ticket for my belongings. They keep telling me they are working on it. Meanwhile my son has all his furniture, all his clothes and everything he needs to start the semester on Monday in the moving truck. I am so disappointed in this company. I have read some reviews that are stating they have experienced the same situation. When I call they belittle me and do not care of our situation. They just keep quoting the contract and say nothing about the facts that were told to us regarding delivery. Additionally the charged me additional money for booking with them. A cost that was never told to me until they took all my belongings. Save yourself ALOT of stress,money and aggravation…..don’t book with these people.

Deliveries going in a similar direction will be grouped, sharing a truck. That truck will not leave half full. So sometimes there can be a wait until that truck is a full shipment before leaving on its route. This is where the “estimated Delivery Timelines” are disclosed.

Local move from Millsboro, DE to Wilmington, DE

Last minute disaster

I understand there are usually more negative reviews than positive. But this MUST be said. My first contact with this company, I was asked to give a list of items, size of house etc and being an experienced moving company they were able to have a fairly clear idea of amount of belongings. I was told I would I would be contacted before the move for an itemized review, NO, ask for an itemized review on the very 1st phone call!!!! I was quoted an affordable price on 1st phone call, promised and told all sorts of wonderful things and naturally ready to sign on dotted line. Don't belike me! 2 days before our move, when we gave the itemized list, the price quadrupled! Went from 4k to 16k and it was an in state 70 mile move. In our panic, I began making calls and a reliable mover came to our rescue! I might add when we gasped at 16k they lowered it to 12k!

Luckily this reliable mover was available.

This all took place during my work day as a nurse. Would you want a nurse caring for you being distracted by this? Would you want this to happen to you? No, no and no! So, don't do business with these crazy people. I'm hoping to get my deposit back for all the pain and suffering. I hope I still have a job! Good luck guys!

Long-distance move from Goodlettsville, TN to Jacksonville, FL

Horrible experience

I wish more than anything I had read some of these reviews before I payed this company to move for me.

The original representative gets on the phone and quotes you very low on purpose, omitting certain items, and estimating everything on the bottom side so that they'll get you to put down a deposit. I asked for clarification multiple times on what he needed an inventory of, And he assured me that it was only the very large items and didn't even ask for the size of boxes. Or any specific information about the items and quoted me $2200. They'll then call you 3 days before they pick up and your quote will triple because The new representative will want every single individual item going on the truck, even to the point of measuring length and width of every item, But they know they have you on the hook because you can't get your deposit back by this point.

The company gave me a pickup window from 5 to 8 on a Thursday. I waited around for them and they didn't arrive, They then told me they'd be there the next day, waited around all day and they never arrived. Finally, on the third day they arrived but in the only window on thenow third day that I said that I couldn't be there. I then had to miss a family birthday party for them to load up all the stuff, I witnessed them break a desk as they loaded it and they just tried to ignore it. They then told me that they misquoted me again and it was going to be another $1,500 on top of what they had already tripled.

We call customer service with my wife in tears because we can't afford all of this. They agree to take $800 off (A laughable amount after all they've done and we are still paying $700 more than the second larger quote)

I told every rep when I needed my things delivered and They all assured me that even though the contract says they legally have 30 days, that was just to protect them legally and because our distance was fairly short (550 miles) that they would shoot for the first available delivery day Or at least very close to it. They said however I needed to talk to the driver about delivery when they arrived, so I spoke to the driver and told them one the day I needed it delivered. He said they would shoot for that and it might be a few days later but heavily implied it would be on the day or very close to it.

Now that they have our things, we are over a week past the delivery date and when we call we get nothing but irritated customer service representatives who act like we're in the wrong for calling and asking. They basically told us that in the fine print of the contract they have 30 business days to deliver our items and that we should just suck it up because they can get here whenever they feel like getting here, So my wife and I are now living on an air mattress in a completely empty house for who knows how long.

My wife and I are absolutely sick over the amount of money this company has stolen from us only for them to be unhelpful, un-empathetic, at best incompetent and at worst deliberately deceitful.

I'm wringing my hands over what my belongings are going to look like when they arrive because I have no doubt they'll be mangled.

Will update on delivery.

If you're considering this company run far far away!

Greetings Robert Perkins ~
Thank you for your feedback in regard to your relocation experience. We appreciate you taking the time to share with us. It is unfortunate that you did not have the move you were anticipating. However, moving can be and is a stressful event. And we are unable to locate your file within our database, so we can assist with specifics. However, several topics you pointed out are listed within the agreement such as ETA timelines for pick up and delivery, procedures onsite, if the cost increased due to additional space used by your items, and required packing materials or services had to be performed to complete your move. We ask you to please review your agreement that discloses these important topics and if you have further questions, please reach out to the support staff at the toll-free number on your paperwork. Thank you again and have a great day.

Long-distance move from Decatur, GA to Hendersonville, NC

The movers were very careful.

Once the truck arrived at my new home, the unloading process was just as smooth as the loading process. The movers were very careful when unloading everything, taking great care to ensure that nothing was damaged in the process. Andrew also took the time to help me move furniture and other heavy items to their proper locations within my new home. He also helped me with the reassembly of some items, such as the bed frame and the desk.
