    Our American Moving experience.  Our belongings strapped to the top of a U-Haul trailer pulled by a U-Haul van.

    I CANNOT EXPRESS HOW MUCH I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY. My wife and I have relocated 3X in the past five years. Using corporate relocation services, Allied Van Lines and a few weeks ago - Bekins/American Moving. This by far is the worst experience we've ever had. The terms "bait & switch" and "misleading" are the overriding themes. We hired Bekins/American Moving to move our four-bedroom home from Castle Pines, CO to Lakeville, MN on 8/24 - 9/10. The first part of the moving experience was good and met expectations. The team that arrived was professional, hardworking and appeared to take good care of our furnishings. That is where the quality customer service ended. From that point forward we felt we had been set-aside as our credit card had been charged and we were no longer a priority. Specifically: From the point of loading our home on 8/24, we had no proactive communications on the delivery. I would call and leave a message with the move coordinator and wouldn't hear back. I would call the Salesperson and he would call back but it felt like he didn't have complete information. When I asked about the timing of the delivery of our goods less than a week out, I had to call multiple times. This information was important to us as we were trying to juggle personal and professional schedules and wanted to ensure we were ready when Bekins arrived. We were living in a hotel at this point and trying to coordinate when to meet and move into our home. Because we were getting no response, I called the destination agent and they seemed totally confused. They gave us the load date in Colorado as the delivery date which made no sense. I finally got a response from American Moving and was told to expect the furnishings on 9/8. We then received a call to inform us that the furnishings would now be delivered on Sunday, 9/10. We were told the movers would deliver our furnishings between 8:00am and 10:00am on 9/10. They arrived Sunday shortly after all 11:00 in a U-Haul truck and trailer with some of our furnishings strapped to the top of the trailer. This was far from what was sold! As Bekins states, "we take care of our furnishings as if they are our own". Really!!??I The two men who arrived had just driven 1,000 miles in 1 day were tasked to then unload our furnishings. There was no additional crew. There was no supervisor. They didn't do a walk-through of our home. They didn't ask questions. They didn't take steps to PROTECT our new home. When asked about the carpet protection, they responded they didn't have any. We called American Moving to state our dissatisfaction at the lack of care, unpreparedness and request a full crew with the necessary supplies to protect the house. We stated we were willing to wait another day so this could be done correctly. We were told this is the crew that was available and there was nothing else they could do. I personally left to go find some carpet protection while they started unloading. I was unable to find any and then the two movers both left in the truck and returned in about an hour - with the cellophane carpet protection. They did find padding to partially protect the stairwell. By the time the house was partially protected, it was nearing 1:00pm. My wife and I (both in our 60s) helped carry many of the boxes and directed some of the boxes to be put in the garage to save time. In the end, the unloading took from 11:10am to 9:30pm and the movers left before everything was complete. In addition to carrying boxes, my wife and I unboxed and assembled several items that were packed by the movers. Several pieces of furniture were damaged and a brand-new carpet soiled from the mover's shoes. We will process an insurance claim for the furniture. We hired and paid $15,000 for a professional moving company. This is far from what we received. This was, at best an amateur, unorganized, uncaring delivery of our furnishings (repacked in a smaller truck and strapped to the top of a trailer)! If we had known this was the service we would receive from a company "making moving easy since 1891" and that we would have to help with the process, I never would have hired Bekins/American Moving. Even after requesting to speak to the salesperson/owner of American Moving, he hasn't responded to my request to speak to him since these issues began and delegated any interactions to a subordinate.

    Just one of many rooms that American Moving moved to our new place.

    So happy with our experience with American Moving. We had several quotes and hands down American Moving was the best priced, most communicative and friendly moving company we dealt with. They provided extra moving boxes, which was very helpful. The movers showed up on time and did an excellent job. Worth every penny! Highly recommend.

Not to mention very kind and respectful! We live on the second story and don't have an elevator, and it was no problem. Can't recommend this company highly enough. We will certainly use them again in the future. 5 stars doesn't do it justice.

Curiously and without any follow-up from anyone at Boulder Packaging, my time-sensitive customer's package sat without even being scanned into the system for tracking four days after drop-off at this store until I called with pointed questions. My business card was provided twice to the clerk at the time of drop-off and he refused to take it, but since my business contact info is listed on the label & internantional paperwork, I'd thought everything was good. It very much was NOT! When I noticed no progress on the tracking, I called to check in on the 26th and the employee that answered was the same man that had initially received my package three days earlier on the 24th. He casually related that mysteriously, neither FedEx nor DHL had picked up ANY PACKAGES for three days, but "we absolutely did nothing wrong", he insisted. I was stunned to be expected to believe that explanation for an "Authorized" Ship Center, so I immediately called DHL customer support and my Account Rep directly to repeat my questions and get real answers. DHL explained that some shipping centers have automatic daily pickup while others have to call to request pickup. Miraculously, my package was finally picked up on the 27th to at last begin it's journey abroad after an inexplicably undocumented and uncommunicated four day layover at Boulder Packaging Center. This is certainly not what I or my customer paid for when we were entrusted to get their package abroad in a express manner. We DO NOT RECOMMEND and will not trust this location again for our business shipping in-the-field drop-offs. It is really unfortunate since we prefer to support local businesses whenever possible. My business reputation cannot afford their lack of professional accountability and excessively casual attitude about their role in getting paying customer's packages delivered on time. FedEx & DHL, you need to check up on your "Authorized" Shipping Centers. Your brand and your customers are not being represented or served well here.

I know this from experience and, so, have asked for her expertise on so many projects off-and-on, over time. I'm retired, with some physical and other limitations, including chronic procrastination, so I never hesitate to request her involvement in any endeavor I feel I can't address or handle alone. It's so well worth it. Aside from speed and efficiency, the diversity of what Debra will tackle is mind-boggling: -Near-instantaneous reorganizing of existing messes, functional rearrangement, decluttering, and sorting. -Slogging through clothing, shoes, and knickknacks, helping you make the difficult keep/resell/donate/ditch decisions quickly. -Reviewing, categorizing, and shredding/recycling accumulated files you just can't bring yourself to look at. -Excavating and evaluating storage unit items, and dispensing of them--saving you money-pit dollars. Debra is a premier connection in the Boulder County area for recycling, reselling, composting, donations--all benefitting you and the community. She's a consummate networker--so well connected, she has even provided invaluable personal resources and professionals of so many kinds. Chemistry: 1- Trust is supreme. You will not be let down. 2- Sense of humor, which is paramount. 3- Debra will always tell you what she thinks is best, and why. Feel free to disagree; she's not going to fight you on it. 4- I enjoy our interactions and what I learn from them, and so does my Siggy (my sig-other man, who has opinions all his own).
