I used this local Allied Van Lines in October 2023 for a move from Corvallis, OR to Dickinson, ND. I asked that they hold the shipment for a few days. They unloaded the original, smaller truck and placed my shipment in a much larger truck with others/piggy backed the shipment. Five pieces of antique furniture were damaged and needed to be repaired. My 6-ft step ladder and a shelf for an antique dresser went missing, along with other items. The large saucer for a bird bath was obviously broken beyond repair, and its base (an antique art deco stand) was chipped. The long-distance driver hired a crew of 3 from Bismarck. He unloaded a few things, then sat in his truck complaining that his helpers were taking too long. No one monitored the items on the check off sheet. Steer clear of this company if you value your belongings! read more

WARNING!! Honest review of an interstate move provided by Bertsch Moving and Storage under the Allied contract: This moving company completely destroyed many of my most valuable and irreplaceable heirlooms, some highly valuable furniture, fine glass art, kitchen appliances, a statue, a bed and 2 couches, in addition to chipping and dinging, and scratching most of my wood furniture items. This business displayed absolute lack of professionalism. They loaded my household into a truck with no care: they did not wrap my furniture or couches (I followed them into the truck begging them to wrap an brand new $5000 article Italian leather couch that was thrown on the floor of the box truck), they stacked 2 highly valuable Tibetan cabinets on their side with no wrapping and loaded them with boxes, completely destroying one of them, they threw a fragile antique secretariat crown and embellishments on top of the load, where they broke into pieces (some of which were never found in the truck suggesting they broke it in the warehouse) they stacked golf clubs in with heavy workout equipment, they threw kettle bells in so they rolled around and destroyed unwrapped table and cabinet legs, they pinned an I MAC between boxes with no boxing or support, they did not wrap half of my couches (the most valuable ones), they threw metal sculptures in the truck unwrapped, pinned between weights and exercise equipment, they did not tie down crates and let them float in the back of the truck, they completely destroyed my boxes, including those labeled fragile, and they concealed items they broke in their warehouse by opening a sealed box and hid half of the broken piece inside! This is only a fraction of the failures in my move by this company, but I hope this gives a strong enough illustration of the conduct of this company. Professionally, they did not provide me with an inventory of my items when they loaded my things, a breach of Allied contract, leaving me with no way to account for what they loaded and and what was unloaded when my possessions arrived. The women who run this business are completely incompetent: they were not able to use their computer systems, access photos they requested I email them, or update contracts without using their personal emails and texts. After a 17 day delay of transporting my things, the coordinator texted me that the 3rd party truck driver did not have to follow federal trucking laws and he could drive straight through from Oregon to Colorado without rest! Moreover, It took them over 3 weeks to give me a receipt for my payment. In all of my life experiences paying professional businesses to do work for me, I have never been treated so poorly or experienced such negligence. They have made no effort to make it right, despite my requesting them to do so. Please DO DILIGENCE and if you have valuable furniture, DO NOT TRUST Bertsch Moving and Storage. The moving coordinator told me their very best crew was loading my things (because I over and over expressed how valuable my furniture was to me). If these were their best movers, then they certainly do no train their employees on how to wrap furniture and load a truck. I tipped each loader $50 with the hope it would serve as an incentive to take good care of my things as they loaded, unloaded, stored and loaded them while in their care. Instead, when I discussed how my things were treated so terribly with the customer service manager, she rudely said "If you are so unhappy, why did you tip my workers?" The lack of professionalism is staggering. I spent the entire time with the loading team while they moved my stuff. I gave them some personal items as a gesture of kindness (I was giving away a few things owing to my move). I hoped the movers would take caution when they loaded my furniture, out of professionalism, reputation, or fondness to me for my generosity. In any case, they destroyed my furniture. Finally, the office manager told me, they needed to get my stuff out of the warehouse because it had sat from December 22- January 5th, and it was taking up space and money. She said this when I was pushing her to give me a reason for why my truck was delayed and there was no official Allied truck rescheduled, given I had paid nearly $20,000 dollars for this service. Again, the lack of professionalism goes from the top down with this company. Bertsch Moving and Storage relies on a false reputation and does not do anything to make it right when they damage and destroy your property. They hide behind Allied and take no responsibility for their business conduct. I directly asked them to do something to make it right; for example, give me a refund for their portion of profit from my payment, but they laughed in my face and told me that was impossible. It is never impossible to make it right, it is a choice. See my Google review for extensive photos of the loading of the truck and damages. read more

We haven't used movers much so it was where to start? Three bid/proposals and Allied stood above all the rest in both thoroughness of the walk thru to proposal but also pricing on a not to exceed proposal. Origin and Booking Agent (Bertsch M&S in Corvallis, OR) was fantastic and gladly walked me thru the process including my follow up calls to the office...I need to add this or did you include this? They were very helpful and reassuring. On the load date the crew was beyond awesome. The access for many boxes and furniture was by a narrow stairwell to the finished basement. They were pros! I watched often as they packed the truck, wrapping with care. There was one minor speedbump when the Destination Agent was changed unknown to us, but in the end, I was glad because, the driver and crew of the destination agent was also fantastic. We could not have been happier. Damage was minimal and limited to some scraped paint on a gym piece and two very large and heavy planters that were broken. The art, furniture, TV's, mirrors kitchen items and vinyl collection were delivered intact! We will take some credit as we packed, but the crews did a great job of packing the van and keeping everything well protected. I would highly recommend Bertsch Moving and Storage of Corvallis, OR for your moving needs. read more

My wife and I moved earlier this month (June 2020) from the Oregon coast to Salem. Kam, a very nice lady to deal with, from Bertsch was the most knowledgeable and thorough of three movers giving us estimates. The moving team--Garrett, James and Mark--were excellent: on time, prepared, very hard-working, fast, entertaining, and great with our goods. Best of all, our goods arrived with no damages and for a price that was very fair compared to the other companies' estimates. We would, without qualification, recommend this team from Bertsch (affiliated with Allied in Corvallis) to absolutely anyone contemplating a move here in this general area of Oregon. They were superb!!! read more

Economical and efficient moving experience. Company rep was professional, well trained and helpful. Movers worked steadily, didn't mind our input, worked with us when we needed to rearrange placement of furniture on the other end. Everything arrived packed well, no damage and staff showed care about the small things, stressors that come with just Moving. It was easy to give the mover staff a good tip for a job well done read more
