My wife and I want to thank you and your staff for helping make our move to Nashville a great experience. We were extremely fearful that our move from Florida would be a nightmare. When we researched movers on the internet most of the feedback was negative and we felt like the only choice was to find the best of the worst. Good friends of ours had moved to Wyoming a few years back and they used Allied so we opted to do the same. We were still very nervous through the negotiation process but Allied’s packers and movers in Florida allayed our fears when they handled the first part of our move from Florida. They were prompt , courteous and most of all very respectful of property we had spent years acquiring.Unfortunately we were unable to move into our new residence immediately so our belongings were stored at your warehouse in Nashville.Again my wife and I were nervous, hoping that the Nashville delivery would go as smoothly as the Florida pick up. We were not disappointed. When I called to set up the delivery date your staff had everything already in order. On the morning of delivery three of your staff showed up promptly at 9 a.m. and proceeded to unload two truckloads of our things in a remarkably professional manner.The project supervisor Brian skillfully worked with his two assistants to carefully maneuver a lot of heavy and difficult pieces into our home. When we weren’t quite certain where we wanted something to go Brian would say," We are here to serve you” I heard that phrase all day long as we struggled to get everything in place and Brian and his crew meant every word. Whatever we asked for they did it and they did it without any resentment or complaining. Not one piece of our belongings was damaged and not one of our many items was missing.Congratulations on a job well done. We would most certainly recommend Ted Sanders Moving and Allied Moving to anyone. You can use as a reference anytime so please do not hesitate to contact us Sincerely,Larry Arnkoff

My wife was given this company as an option to handle our corporate move. It was complicated, involving bringing belongings from Canada, USA and England to one location. We had a $10,000 moving allowance and made it clear that this was a hard ceiling. They botched every part of the move they touched. They failed to meet dates that were identified as critical costing us extra money in storage and rent. When asked about this, there was a figurative shrugging of shoulders and "not our fault" response, despite their obvious failure to organize pickups in a timely fashion. We were constantly contacting them to find out what was happening and remind them of what had to be done. We emphasized many times that the cost was fixed. When they decided that there was going to be extra cost to us, they claimed they couldn't provide paperwork to back it up. At this point, we already had the last of our belongings on a ship from England. When we said we wantred to see some sort of paperwork to back up their claim of cost overrun, their response was to say that unless we agreed to pay the driver in cash, our belongings would be put into storage until we caved in. From then on, our e-mails were simply ignored. What a childish reaction. I wrote to the president, Ted Sanders, and gave him a detailed breakdown of just some of the failures that had happened. His response was to accuse me of being sarcastic, yet he also sent me the paperwork that his son Mike had said "didn't exist". He also made comments that were complete lies. Clearly, they were excuses he was given and didn't challenge. We finally paid the ransom to release our belongings. There was at least one bill that didn't even have anything to do with us. We didn't recognize any company named on it. It probably belonged to somebody else that was paying for their move themselves and that Ted thought should "get a break" subsidized by somebody getting financing. These guys are just incompetent and dishonest.

Pros: I really can't think of any

Cons: Dishonest, lazy, incompetent
