    a chair given to me by my great-grandmother. Busted.
    Greta P.

    I AM DISMAYED & HORRIFIED BY THE SERVICE I RECEIVED. I am shocked at the poor quality of packing I received. This company packed my items into U-box containers to be shipped across country. They did not use the shipping blankets provided (left them in plastic bags, untouched!) so that many of my wooden pieces have horrible scratches now. They SHOVED items into place - despite me saying to use as many U-boxes as necessary, so no need - permanently damaging irreplaceable objects, like an antique chair given to me by my great-grandmother, or expensive photography lighting equipment that I specifically warned needed to be handled with care - now in pieces and damaged, left for me to replace. Like, shoving a fragile circus light with multiple small glass lightbulbs (???) so that it would both BEND and SHATTER MULTIPLE glass bulbs all over everything. They didn't use the plastic mattress covers I bought just for this, leaving my BRAND NEW $2500 mattress exposed to dirt smears and tears, they placed hooked items jammed against box frames, ripping multiple holes in it, they dismantled tables I did not ask to be dismantled, with no care, literally breaking the studs, so that one table is totally destroyed. I was in shock, and the movers who helped to UNLOAD were shocked, having to point out damage after damage to me as they properly handled items. When I called - furious, no doubt - I was first hung up on. When I called back, this time calmly explaining my horrible experience, I asked for the one table mentioned to be replaced - $236 total - as a small gesture for the amount of significant damage that can not be fixed... only to be told they take zero responsibility. It wasn't about the $236 - which is a small dent in the damage. It was about having them acknowledge this was a total F up and shouldn't happen again. This was literally a master class in what NOT to do when moving. Frankly, I remain shocked that any moving company would not (A) APOLOGIZE, (B) offer some small compensation for the emotional and physical damage, (C) do a little research to find out how this could have happened so that NO ONE ELSE EVER HAS TO EXPERIENCE THIS POOR SERVICE. I lived in HR for 16 years, and it's a small town where everyone knows everyone. I hope this warning gets taken seriously. If you opt to use these guys, you better supervise every single thing they do carefully, because if you are not there to watch, your things get ruined and treated like trash. I would seriously say to use someone else. If you scroll through reviews, don't get confused by the good ones. It's the 1-stars you want to pay close attention to.

    Am I experienced with moving??? Does 28 moves in my lifetime make me an expert??? You can at…read moreleast acknowledge that I have above-average experience in this area. So have all the moves been the same type? No. Everything from interstate, intrastate to intercity, intracity. I have hired national movers, local movers and moved myself, so I have a bit of experience. In prep for my next move, I had interviewed a few companies to manage our move from the Los Angeles area to the Portland area. We had everything scheduled and had received a quote that was reasonable. However, I noticed this particular agency had not included storage. 7 days before our scheduled move, they finally update the quote and the storage fees were outrageous. Wow, they were trying to pull a fast one on me. Did I mention they gave me the quote on Easter weekend? I felt trapped, knowing that we were running out of time. That's when Scott Burke of Lile stepped in to save the day. He was able to coordinate our move at a great price in 4 days. YES, 4 DAYS. Am I talking a small load to pack and ship? No, I'm talking 12,000 lbs to pack and ship. How did the whole process go? SMOOTH SAILING. Every step along the way, staff was courteous and on time. Plus, Scott continuously checked on us to make sure we were happy. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

    After nearly 20 years of military PCS moves, I have never had any complaints about a moving…read morecompany--until now. I can honestly say this was the worst moving company I have ever dealt with. This crew was completely unprofessional from start to finish. * They ignored the agreed-upon schedule. * They arrived without the basic supplies needed to do the job. * They failed to protect our door and entrance showing little to no care for our property. * They left furniture upside down after unloading and made no effort to place items properly. * They didn't even have the necessary tools to complete the job. * They refused to help set up the bed and take the TV out into place. To make matters worse, I still tipped the crew because I believe in appreciating hard work, but looking back, they absolutely did not earn it. A PCS move is already stressful enough. Military families deserve a moving company they can rely on during a PCS. Unfortunately, this company failed to meet even the most basic expectations. This company showed a complete lack of professionalism, preparation, and respect for its customers' property. I strongly recommend avoiding this company. There are plenty of moving companies out there--don't make the mistake of choosing this one.

    The absolute worse experience of my life. The packers were impersonal and did not interact with me…read more(although I was in the apartment all day) so that I never noticed that they packed all of my prescription medication. When I complained, I was made to feel like an idiot (which is probably true) but an apology might have been nice (who packs vials that are clearly prescriptions?) The move took the maximum number of days which would have been OK had not my daughter used the same company and although their things were packed and shipped two weeks later, they arrive in California BEFORE mine. I had to call and complain and all of a sudden they arrived the next day costing me two full weeks of pay. Although I had been promised by Prestige that my furniture would be reassembled upon arrival, the actual movers said that was a dream and refused to do it. When I complained to Prestige they gave me a big run around and finally said someone could come and do it. I said "never mind" and did it myself, wanting to go back to normal as soon as I could. But the very worse thing of all was that when I went to look for my holiday decorations, the box was missing. The rest of the things that were in that room were there, this was a small box with treasured ornaments including one of my deceased husband and memories that can't be replaced. I was told that I "should have made a claim" earlier and while they supposedly looked I got a very rude note saying that they could not find my stuff. All in all, this has resulted in a heartbreaking holiday season and I am very, very sorry that I used this company. I had used Allied Van Lines before but, even though I plan another big move in the next year I will not only stay away from them but make it my business to make sure that no one I know gives them any business. Take my advice, stay away from this place, and most of all, avoid Allied Van Lines and anyone that uses them.

    Where do I even begin? I definitely can't name one thing that went anywhere near well in my…read moreexperience with this company. I wish they'd be put out of business. My point of contact starting being really inappropriate to the point that he asked me for pictures (selfies). I had to contact management because I was so uncomfortable and in shock. The owner fought with me over a matter of hours when my things would be moved into my new residence in Nashville, said they were very busy, it was a total nightmare. The way they loaded my things caused for many irreplaceable items to be shattered when I unpacked them, my boxes that were clearly marked as fragile were placed on bottom and the boxes were crushed. Most of my large, expensive pieces of furniture have dings and gashes in them. In the end, the owner Dave, simply gave me the number to his claims person. They did not make anything right and left me emotionally drained and sad in my new place as I put my house together. This move cost me over $7,000 and yes, I paid full price. Shame. DO NOT USE PRESTIGE. If they said it's the movers that they use who are at fault, they are lying. I would not trust the good reviews.
