      This was our first time moving in nearly 25 years, and it was a move across the country. The Allied truck arrived at my home in Illinois on time with a crew of happy workers, ready to load out my house. We reviewed the contents before loading, and they began. They took great care wrapping odd items (mirrors, bicycles, Peleton, TVs), and had the entire house loaded onto the truck in a few hours. Joy did an excellent job inventorying every single item, and was very helpful in the entire process. They left for Arizona and greeted my wife a week later with all of our home contents in tact. They loaded into our new house, placed everything in rooms as directed and cleaned up after they finished. From start to finish, exceptional experience. Highly recommended!

      Federal Companies did an excellent job of moving my mother from a small apartment in an independent living community in Illinois to a private home in Sacramento. They estimated the job, completed the move-out and move-in as promised. (About 2 weeks from move-out to move in!) The team stayed in touch with me, nothing was broken and they successfully packed some precious irreplaceable artwork. I packed the rest of the belongings. They dismantled the movable bed, an electric go-chair and a power recliner and a crew set them up on arrival. They made the horrible experience of moving bearable. Now to finish unpacking!

      Federal Companies part of Allied Van Lines did an excellent job on our move downsizing from a two story home to a town home ranch. The crew was polite and courteous and very accomdating. They were extra careful and they did not damage any thing on either homes nor damage any thing that they moved for us. Likewise there was no breakage on any housewares items including dishes, glasses, plates, pictures, art items. The crew was truly amazing. To top it off when they moved us it was the hottest day spring/summer thus far when our move occurred. FEDERAL COMPANIES-ALLIED VAN LINES were the most reasonable out of several B***** subsidiaries thar we interviewed. Thank you again for a great experience we can't ask for anything better for a married senior couple. It truly was a great experience.

      Great communication throughout the entire moving process! All of the staff were very friendly and responsive. I can't highlight enough how important that is to us. We had ******** *** ***** move us from California to Illinois, and it was a horrible experience. The move with ******** *** ***** took much longer than they told us it would, and no one from the company would communicate with us. Allied/Federal Companies was the complete opposite for our recent move from Illinois to Massachusetts - they delivered our stuff on-time and stayed in communication with us throughout the entire process. I would definitely recommend them!

      The entire process from start to finish was just what i was looking for. After getting quotes from other companies, Federal was the most flexible and accommodating to our needs. When we first started the plan to move from chicago to denver there were a lot of unknowns. such as when we would need to be picked up, which items we were taking with us and when we were going to be able to move into our new house. Federal gave me all of the options of timing, possible storage before moving in and moving large unique heavy items. They also explained the different costs for each of these steps. Everything went flawless. they were on time, on budget and our items arrived undamaged. Thank you Federal for making a very stressful situation go as smooth as possible. I would not go with any other company for a cross country move like ours.

      I wish I could give ZERO stars. Their sales guy told me how I could save money on my move and when I followed his advice the company did not refund me what I should have saved. They give you a not-to-exceed price and their price did not exceed that but in order to save money I moved the pictures myself and did not move one of my TVs and instead of getting a refund they just do not respond. They say their "billing department" is working on it but they never contact me. My move finished at the end of August 2022 and now it is the end of February 2023 (six months later) and they will not even talk with me about getting a refund for the part of the move that they did not complete. I have contacted the General Manager Greg P****** multiple times and he has done absolutely nothing to remedy my situation. They also never answer the phones and you have to just leave a message hoping for a return call, which never happens. I spent over $8000 on my move from ** to ** and they will not follow up with me. Take your business elsewhere!!!! This company is totally untrustworthy!!!!

      I live at the end of a cul-de-sac, the street has a wide turn around for traffic. This evening I was sitting by my window that overlooks the driveway and noticed a Federal Moving truck pulling ALL THE WAY into my driveway then backing up in order to use my driveway as a turn around. I have a stamped concrete driveway and it is NOT designed by heavy trucks. It is disrespectful to be so lazy that you refuse to use the street and prefer to use a private driveway of a residence. They are not working for me and not making a delivery at my address or any of the surrounding addresses in this cul-de-sac. Their drivers should be told to stay off of private property and only use the street and not other peoples driveways. I do have all of this on my camera's. They didn't just barely pull up to the edge of my driveway - they pulled all the way into my driveway like they live here. I don't appreciate this and I am sure the owners of Federal Moving wouldn't like it if I hired a heavy truck to go to their house and pull in and out of their driveway.

      We went with Federal Moving in hopes of avoiding some lesser-known unprofessional mover. The experience quickly turned into us filing a police report because somehow narcotics and a handgun disappeared while Federal employees were here. It ended with us getting our possessions moved... but witnesses said Federal's people were just throwing our boxes into our new place without care or concern. And it showed, as many items were broken. And their "insurance" proved useless since WE did the packing ourselves. Well, that would've been nice to know at the start. Our business with Federal Moving was an absolutely terrible experience.

      Don, we regret you had a less than great experience with our team. We reviewed with our local manager and understand you have been in contact with them. We take allegations of theft very seriously and will fully cooperate with law enforcement.

      We have used Allied Federal Companies for all of our residential moves since 2005. This last move will be the last time we use them. In June 2022, we contracted for 2 moves from our home in MO: half to SC and half to a new place in MO. We also contracted for help moving donations to the Salvation Army. As can happen, some of our items were damaged during the move to the new place in MO. We filed a small claim for those damaged items. Our move to SC was much more problematic. The truck arrived at the distribution center in SC, but they did not have the staff to move our items to our home. They told us they could not complete the move on time and would deliver two weeks later. As Allied Federal reps were aware at the time of contract, my husband would be flying down to meet the movers on the contracted dates and could not stay for an additional 2 weeks since he had to get back to MO to meet the other moving team. In addition to expenses for getting down to SC, we paid them close to $2000 for the local move in SC. Because of the failure to perform, we had to hire movers in SC to complete our move. To date, Allied Federal has not refunded the $2000 nor have they reimbursed us for the cost of hiring our own movers. Also luckily, we had nothing too fragile in the move to SC because the boxes were in terrible shape. Further, they denied 2 claims for the MO move damage. They denied our claim for a broken TV because they claim they did not pack it, even though they did and we paid for it, and for a torn couch based on a false claim that it was torn before the move. Allied bases for the denials are codes written on the inventory sheet by the moving team. Codes that happen to indicate EVERY piece of our furniture they moved was either already scratched, badly worn or torn before the move. Countless calls to customer service have gone unanswered. Not only has this been frustrating, but we will also be filing a formal complaint with the BBB with all attachments.
