  My son and I arranged separate moves from ******** to ****************, ** and were each quoted a Miscellaneous charge of a round trip ferry fee/cost. As it turned out, circumstances lead to both of our loads being packed on the same truck in ******** and being delivered to us one day apart on ****************. The truck had to come from the mainland to ****************. We were each charged a round trip ferry cost, despite the truck only going across and back once. The agent says they can do nothing, it's up to Allied and Allied says it's up to the agent and they both claim the charge as a regular per registrant charge despite it being referred to as a round trip ferry cost on my estimate and my initial estimate being delayed a few days while the ferry cost was researched. Since the truck only crossed back and forth once I feel we should be charged one round trip between us. I have asked both Allied and the agent for a copy of the fee schedule where such a charge is listed. Allied again referred me to the agent and I have waited a week after asking the agent, with no response. This situation is similar to taking a taxi with multiple people to various locations and having each person in the taxi pay the same toll fee that might be incurred.

  

  Business Response

  Date: 07/27/2024

  We are very sorry for the frustration the customer experienced with the fees for the ferry.

  There were 2 separate moves with 2 different registration numbers.

  There is a round trip fee because the truck has to go round trip to make that delivery.

  Every shipment on board is charged the ferry fee.

  Again, we are very sorry for the frustration, however this has also been explained to the customer by the teams.

  Customer Answer

  Date: 07/29/2024

   I am rejecting this response because
  I would like someone to point me to the fee schedule that shows ferry fees or how they are calculated.

  It seems wierd that everyone whose load is on the truck pays the fee. So that if there were 10 small loads on my truck Allied would get $13,500 on ferry fees?

  
  

  

  Business Response

  Date: 07/30/2024

  We apologize for the inconvenience.

  The claimant would need to reach out to their booking agent to determine how the charges are calculated. They are the ones that do the quoting and calculating.

  Unfortunately we are unable to make those determinations in this BBB site.

  We hired Allied Moving to relocate us from ***********, ** to *************, **. During the course of the move, they destroyed a table saw (the front of the base is completely broken and crushed and it now sits at an angle and is unusable), and broke a shelf unit. It looks like too much weight was piled on each item when loading that caused them to collapse.I filed a claim for the damaged items and the claim was denied saying the inventory sheets listed both pieces as missing parts or damaged. This is untrue as neither piece was damaged at all prior to the move. The only piece missing from the table saw was the detachable dust bag that had been packed separately in a box. The table saw was also wrapped in stretch wrap prior to loading on the truck to help protect it.The inventory description for the shelf also only reads as L approx BR a bunch of numbers BR. If this is some kind of shorthand that indicates damage then it needs to be made clear to the customer what it means, because as it is now, it gives no indication of meaning damaged or broken. This shelf unit was not broken or damaged and was fully usable prior to the move. As the piece was located by a bedroom, it was my assumption the mover was stating thats where it came from in the house.The movers notes are also impossible to read on the table saw, but pcs missing can be made out. Again, the only missing piece was the detachable dust bag.I have included pictures of the damaged items.

  

  Business Response

  Date: 07/31/2024

  We are very sorry that the claimant had issues to report from their relocation and their claim settlement.

  The claims department has been asked to review the case to see if there are any changes they can make or to see if they can consider liability.

  The ***************** will reach out direct to the customer if there are changes that can be made.

  Customer Answer

  Date: 08/06/2024

   I am rejecting this response because:

  Its been nearly a week with no contact from Allied. These items were absolutely *not* damaged or missing pieces prior to our move, and they are destroyed now. They are refusing to accept liability for the damage their mover caused, and falsely claiming the inventory sheets said they were previously damaged or missing pieces. NEITHER THE TABLESAW NOR THE ***** UNIT WERE DAMAGED IN *ANY* WAY. The only missing piece on the table saw was the detachable dust bag that was removed and packed sparately.

  The Claimant should contact the claim adjuster and ask for a review of their claim file and provide any substantiation to warrant a change.

  The origin inventory was completed showing damages to the items and it was signed by both parties.

   

  Customer Answer

  Date: 08/08/2024

   I am rejecting this response because:
  
  As I stated, the form I signed at pickup does not show ANY damage listed for the shelf unit, and the only thing readable on the table saw was "pcs missing" which I've already stated the only piece missing was the detachable dust bag. The rest is unreadable. There is NOTHING on either item on my copies of the inventory sheet that can be read as stating damage or specific items missing. I have attached photos of what my copy of the inventory sheets state. Please tell me what part, especially on the shelves, states damage.

  And I did contact the claims adjuster immediately after she told me the claim was denied, and received no response. After approximately a week with no contact from her, I filed my complaint here.

  Allied moved my family in late May 2024. We are missing a number of items and other items have been damaged (see list below). Allied refuses to speak to me via phone and has provided a "settlement statement" which is absurdly inadequate and fails to even come close to addressing the costs of replacing the items.

  

  Business Response

  Date: 07/10/2024

  We are very sorry the claimant had damages and missing items to report from their relocation. The carrier made settlement on the damaged items, however the claimant did elect to have a $500 deductible so the deductible has now been met with acceptance of liability on the damaged items.

  The claim file is going to go to a review process and they will make a determination as to whether additional liability is accepted for the claimed missing items that were not documented at the time of delivery.

  Unsure why the claimant is seeking $13,000 as resolution as their claim filed is far less than that amount.

  It is documented that the staff would like everything in writing, first so we have documentation, and second due to the way they were spoken to over the telephone by the claimant.

  Again, we are sorry to cause any frustration and/or inconvenience to the claimant as their claim file goes through the review process.

  Our things were packed on June 24, on time, no problem there. During my conversation with one of the representatives, I was told that they will likely deliver the things on June 27. We paid the whole money on June 24 so that they can start loading. When I kept having conversations with customer service representative because of the delay, I was told that usually driver gives them an update depending on their route and he is waiting to hear back from them. Finally, I was told on July 1 that driver is planning to deliver on July 5 and they will confirm it on July 2. When I called them on July 2, because of no response, I was told that driver was originally double booked and they just got that information, they are trying to find a new driver. So, our things were never loaded in the first place even after about 10 days of packing / money transfer was done. They are still trying to find a driver, as far as I heard last. It is the afternoon of July 3, not sure how much more time they need to find a driver. For a reputable company and with how much money I paid for the moving process, I would assume that they have back up options & have good communications.From what I see, there is complete miscommunications between different departments, there were no good updates to the customer about where the things are and when they will deliver. Moving is stressful, and we are trying to start new jobs, I have to keep pushing my start job for my new job, hopefully they deliver our things soon.

  

  Business Response

  Date: 07/03/2024

  We are very sorry for any inconvenience the claimant is experiencing regarding their relocation.  It is always the intention of the carrier to load and deliver shipments within the spread of dates agreed upon. It is unfortunate when situations happen and dates change. The claimant's agreed upon delivery window is through 7/8 and there is a delay policy if the shipment has not delivered by that date.

  The carrier is working diligently to obtain a driver and get the shipment moving as quickly as possible.

  Again, we do apologize for the frustration and inconvenience.

  Customer Answer

  Date: 07/03/2024

   I am rejecting this response because:
  
  There is no sincere apology, transparency or communication during the whole process. I booked my car transportation through allied as well, they gave it to a third party company and there was a delay by a day after they confirmed the delivery window. But I felt like there was a good transparency with them, and they called with me even small updates and kept me posted during the whole process. But with our goods delivery, I have to reach out every time, and whatever I was told so far, there was so many back and forth, which is causing me to push so many of my appointments. Even now, I feel like, they are trying but it is not a priority for them, it is going to get delayed and they are going to deal through delay policy. Nobody has called so far, explaining why there was so much miscommunication. They could have told me they have problem finding driver for 10 days and they are double booking, I would have gone with a different company.

  I do not show that the claimant has reached out to our customer service. The Claimant should contact customer service and keep in touch with them regarding their shipment at ************.

  Unfortunately, we are unable to monitor the shipment through this BBB site.

   

  Customer Answer

   I am rejecting this response because:

   

  Please stop projecting at me by saying that I have not reached out to customer service. I have been emailing since the day things were packed, I can list out names of the people I talked to or post the snapshot of the email conversations here, but I did not want to do that because of courtesy. There is so much disconnection between the departments, it took like 8 days to figure out that our things were not loaded, after constant emailing. I even called and spoke to a representative after posting the message here on Wednesday, and I am getting a reply today here saying that I have not reached out to customer care. (From the conversation I had Wednesday, looks like they were finally able to find a driver who is going to pick up tomorrow (Saturday), waiting on ETA and further confirmation, hopefully it happens soon, so that we can plan accordingly).

  On July 7, 2023 I paid Allied Van Lines $14,771.51 to pack, load & deliver my belongings from ********** to *******. Account #******. Payment included $100,000.00 for insurance with no deductible. Allied Van Lines ************ refused to compensate me for a damaged 4 month old HP OfficeJet Pro printer and refused to compensate me for a missing purple Levenger briefcase. I had provided examples of the malfunctioning printer but was told that it had to be a "mechanical" problem to be compensated. The printer is a machine and printer malfunction can only be "mechanical". The printer was packed in a single box with no padding. I reported the missing purple briefcase but was told that I could only be compensated if it was reported as a "missing box" on the day of delivery. There was no missing box and my other Levenger red briefcase had been packed in a box with clothing - not a separate box. It took me time to go through all boxes before I could say the purple briefcase was missing. I will upload photos including a photo of how carelessly some of my things had been packed & sealed.

  

  Business Response

  Date: 03/11/2024

  We are very sorry that the claimant had to file a damage/missing claim from their relocation. The valuation coverage does have limitations and therefore the claims department was correct in their handling of the claim.

  Regarding the mechanical damage, electronic items have sensitive delicate internal parts that sometimes malfunction due to the normal vibration of the moving van. The carrier has no control over this type of damage occurring and therefore it is excluded from the valuation coverage. If there were physical damage that would indicate signs of mishandling there would have been consideration.

  At the time of delivery it is the customer responsibility to perform a checkoff at delivery to ensure all their items were received. It is not expected of the customer to open cartons etc as it would not be possible for items to escape the sealed cartons. It is expected they check to ensure all cartons are received and document any missing at delivery.

  I hope this helps explain the carrier position. Again, we apologize for the frustration.

  Regards.

  Customer Answer

  Date: 03/11/2024

   I am rejecting this response because: Allied Van Lines response was unsatisfactory to me.

  1.  They (whoever "they" are in their response as only "Regards".) claim that "sometimes malfunction due to the normal vibration of the moving **** results in damage that is excluded from valuation coverage.  However the printer arrived inside a cardboard box with no bubble wrap or padding of any kind and I find that unacceptable packing.

  2. The claim "It is not expected of the customer to open cartons etc (sic.) as it would not be possible for items to escape the seal cartons.  It is expected they check to ensure all cartons are received and document any missing at delivery."  Again I say that I did not report a missing box because there was no box missing.  However, my red Levenger briefcase arrived in a box on top of clothing - not in a box by itself.  Therefore when there was no single box containing my purple Lavenger briefcase, I expected the purple briefcase to be in another box also on top of clothing - as was the red one. But when I finished opening all boxes the purple briefcase was not to be found.  I could not know that until several days after delivery.

   

   

  
  

  

  Business Response

  Date: 03/11/2024

  Again we are truly sorry but unable to change our position with the claim settlement.

  If all cartons were received then the carrier delivered all that was tendered to them for transport.

  With no physical damage to the printer to support mishandling we are unable to accept liability. We have no idea of the working condition of electronics prior to transport.

  Customer Answer

  Date: 03/12/2024

   I am rejecting this response because: Allied Van Lines Claims continue to ignore that I did not claim a box was missing but rather that the same item missing but in a different color was not packed separately but in a pile of clothing that I did not know it was missing until I unpacked all boxes - not at time of delivery. As for the printer it was in use the day of packing and then was delivered in a box without any protection of bubble wrap or padding.  Very careless packing for both items.  

  Therefor I will move on to report to ******* ************************* and ******* ************************* to file complaints against both Allied Van Lines in ******* and Allied Van Lines Claims in *******.

  Movers arrived at destination with no advance notice. I was 30 minutes away and had to rush back. Boxes were hurriedly moved and I was rushed to sign. Several days later I noticed items missing and immediately contacted Allied. I got lots of apologies but no resolution. The "investigation" claims to have spoken with all parties involved and no one was at fault so they are basically calling me a liar. They never contacted or spoke with the person who was on site for all the packing and the loading so I know this whole thing is just a sham. Some of the items are irreplaceable and the idea that they were never packed or loaded onto the van is beyond absurd. My DVD collection was missing everything from Star Wars trilogy through Wizard of Oz and some TV series. Everything from A to Star Trek was delivered. One piece of foam and the metal bed frame were missing from my sleep number bed. One TV was delivered but not the remote control. I am certainly not lying about the missing items and I am devastated at the loss of some items that were from my late father. Was I supposed to make the movers wait while I unpacked every box they did bring? If so, why do they say you have 9 months to file a claim? How they can get away with this is beyond me and I want to warn everyone that Allied cannot be trusted and I would not recommend them at all. I know they won't reimburse me even though they know they should. Most of my replacements were ordered through Amazon or **** and I've only attached one invoice for illustration. Thank you for the opportunity to get my message out to help others avoid the same fate. DO NOT USE ALLIED.

  

  Business Response

  Date: 01/18/2024

  We are very sorry that this claimant had items claimed as missing from their relocation. In this particular case the individual at origin dictated what was to be transported and the claimant was not at origin to dictate what was to go. There was nothing documented missing at the time of delivery at destination to indicate items were missing. The driver loaded direct and went straight to destination and all was delivered that was tendered to the carrier. It may be possible the items are still at origin. Perhaps the claimant could check on that. There was only one other individual on board the same truck and they did not receive anything that did not belong to them.

  The items being claimed would be random items packed in cartons and again all cartons were signed for as being received at the time of delivery.

  We are sorry for any frustration and/or inconvenience this has caused the claimant.

  Customer Answer

  Date: 01/18/2024

   I am rejecting this response because: I do not agree with the position of the business. I was treated unfairly, have a sketchy at best inventory and find it incredible that I was expected to open all boxes in front of the driver before signing off. I stand by my review and will never ever recommend this business. Ever. I expected this response and thank BBB for the opportunity to publicly voice my opinion.

  trust this email finds you well. I'm reaching out to highlight challenges we faced during our recent move from ***********, *****, to ************, ******* in January ****. Despite understanding the inherent stress in relocation, our experience with ******* ******************************* a subsidiary of Allied Van Lines, has left us deeply dissatisfied.Sales representative ***************************** assured us of competitive rates and top-notch services, but the reality did not match these promises. On the moving day, we were charged for ***** lbs. while our belongings likely weighed ***** lbs. This was brought to ************************ attention, who provided limited resolution options.Contrary to ************************ claim that their pricing method was the only one, we later discovered this was untrue. The lack of transparency during sales discussions and the refusal to explore alternatives reflected a lack of integrity.Upon delivery, we found three broken items, including two TVs and a family heirloom mirror. The packing crew's attempt to categorize items as "Packed By Owner" to avoid liability was misleading. Subsequent communication involved blame-shifting and reliance on contractual obligations, compounding our frustration.We were offered a mere $130 credit on a $5,660 bill, inadequate for the additional charges and damages. The overall lack of professionalism and deceptive sales tactics have left us deeply disappointed.We request a thorough investigation and a fair resolution to address the financial implications and damages. We believe in honest business practices and *********************** *************** Services takes appropriate steps to rectify this situation.Thank you for your prompt attention.

  

  Business Response

  Date: 01/16/2024

  We are very sorry that the claimant was dissatisfied with their relocation charges. The claimant was provided with a guaranteed price order so there are no adjustments made when a guaranteed price is given. Had the claimant been given a guaranteed price with the lower weight the adjustment would have been around $77.  The claimant was provided with an adjustment of more than that as a customer service gesture.

  Unfortunately, on load day no adjustments can be made to the order for service that was agreed upon by both parties.

  I utilized Allied Moving and Storage for a cross country move. There were many issues with the delivery and services I contracted for were not provided. I settled those issues with a credit but there is one outstanding item. The company was negligent in handling my belongings and threw them into a pile in my garage which broke an antique mirror. The company is refusing to pay for the replacement and is giving 60 cents per pound for the damaged item. They are stating that I should have purchased additional coverage and since I didnt, Im out of luck. A company as large as this shouldnt be charging its customers for the negligence caused by their company. Im asking for an exception and want the glass replaced. The claims department (they use SIRVA) mainly *****************************, have been awful to work with and refuse to do anything.This mirror is part of a dresser that I received from my grandmother that is deceased. I cant just replace the dresser. I have been fighting with Allied for three months and was respectful up until dealing with ******. She is rude and really pushed me over the edge and I said some unkind things. Throughout this process Allied has misrepresented their policies and processes. Photos of the broken mirror are included but I was instructed not to open anything because they would send out a claims adjuster. That never happened. I also includes photos of how my items were thrown into my garage. No care was taken and Allied should not be charging its customers insurance because they have staff that doesnt care about a clients personal belongings. I am seeking an additional $1000 to get the glass repaired. Allied/********** supposed to send me $90, which will not cover the cost of repair.

  

  Business Response

  Date: 12/05/2023

  We are very sorry for the damage which occurred, as we realize that it causes inconvenience for the customer.  

  Before their shipment was loaded, the customer signed a Declaration of Value, attached above.  She states that Allied misrepresented their policies. The Declaration of Value gives a very specific and detailed explanation of claim settlements under the valuation option chosen by the customer.  The document was signed on July 17, 10 days before the shipment loaded.  If the customer had any questions regarding the coverage, their move coordinator at the origin agent would have been able to answer them. Once a shipment has been loaded, a carrier does not legally have the option to make *************** to the coverage.

  In their complaint, the customer states, "I have been fighting with Allied for three months and was respectful up until dealing with ******. She is rude and really pushed me over the edge and I said some unkind things."  The customer filed their claim on November 17; it has not been 3 months.  By law, a carrier has 30 days to acknowledge receipt of a claim and an additional 120 days to provide a settlement response.  It has not been three months since the claim was received.  The adjuster professionally explained the carrier's liability, based on the valuation which the customer chose.  Since the customer did not familiarize herself with the details of the valuation for which they signed, she was not happy with the maximum settlement that the carrier could offer under that coverage.  This led to the "unkind things" which the customer said, which were actually a selection of vulgarities.  We are very sorry for the damage and for the concern that it has caused for the customer.  Unfortunately, altering valuation after the move or choosing to overlook the specifics of the coverage are not options that are available to the carrier.

The door frame to my bedroom was damaged, my bed was banged up and put together incorrectly so that it is disintegrating and it will completely fall apart completely in a matter of months. Several boxes with misc. items went missing, an over the toilet storage unit and bookshelf made by my father also went missing. The bicycle that was moved is also in need of repair after the rough handling it received.

  We are very sorry for the frustration and inconvenience the relocation has caused the customer. It is never the intention of the carrier to deliver a service that is less than expected from a professional moving company.

  Apologies that there were damages to some items. It appears the claim was filed and an adjuster was assigned and working on the claim for resolution. The complete claim process does take some time and we appreciate the customer's patience and understanding.

  Again, we are truly sorry that the relocation was not to the standards expected and hope for a resolution to the claim very soon.

  Thank you.

  This company continues to call me several times a day and has pre-made message. I told them to stop calling me 3 times, and they continue. Due to this possible issue with multiple companies, I always give an old land line number andbreal email. When just browsing a general website for moving, everyone else emailed. Allied Van Lines did not email. These people somehow with AI got my real cell number and won't back down for a week now. They also got around my blocking feature. I just want it to stop.Their calling number:************

  We are very sorry for the frustration and inconvenience.

  I called the number myself and it is a legitimate number.  However, the claimant will need to call and opt out.

  If you call then number it will give a voice mail that says if you wish for calls to stop press 1.

  The claimant can call that 800 number and do the opt out process.

  We are again very sorry for the inconvenience.
