We moved heavy gym equipment.

We recently had a small move from California to Idaho. The 2 movers that's showed up went above my expectations and were very easy to work with. Luis and Kyle. I wasn't as the delivery location but the the were all received in great condition and had been wrapped in protective blankets. Yes I would use them again.

This moving company was given to me when I contacted Allied. Don was nice giving the initial estimate, but included 4 large Tesla batteries in our move price. After getting the paperwork I saw batteries were not allowed on trucks. Carol had been assigned as our coordinator. So, I emailed asking if the batteries would be allowed. A day went by & I finally called her because we needed to hire electricians to remove them. Turns out, they are not allowed. I asked for a partial refund and was denied. Then 5 movers came to put our stuff in the truck. They pushed some furniture out of the way to move boxes & scratched our wood floor. When I pointed it out, I didn't even get an apology. I then was told our truck would be stored until they found a driver. WHAT!?! I called Carol and she said they had a 15 day window to get our stuff to our new home-It's in the contract. Yeah, I saw a window & figured you were covering for weather, flat tires etc. I would have chosen another company if I thought you weren't going to try & get everything there on the 1st. Which is the ONLY day ever discussed with Don. Carol said ALL companies give a window. I'm sorry, when I pay 11k I don't expect to live in my new home with no furniture, clothes or everyday needs for 15 days. They also do not have truck inventory computerized, even though they put bar code stickers on them and they can not track their drivers. Needless to say, I am not happy with my choice of Allied or Blue Chip Moving. I will happily update this review if everything arrives safely on time. Rn I'm super stressed out.

Y'all I'm just gonna keep it real with what to expect from these moving companies. My job moved me across country and paid for everything . When seeking a moving company, I just want to say that money was NO ISSUE. I immediately made it clear that I would pay more for good service (within reason ofc). I was moving a 400sq ft apt and my car. Interaction with Duane was great and he was responsive throughout the whole process. I'm guessing they find guys like Duane to be the "finders" and to make customers feel at ease, which he did. The service was a good price compared to some other companies I looked at but it was Duane who won me over. Pickup went ok except that I was under the impression that the movers were VERY exhausted. As stated, my place is small but in the end they were asking me if I "really wanted the stuff from my bathroom" uuummm Yes!! I felt bad even saying so bc these guys were beat. They got the job done. I was upset that the company had no option for me to tip on paper so my job could reimburse me. I had to use $60 of my own cash bc there was no way I wasnt going to tip these guys. Just a sign to me that this big company doesn't care for their workers as they didn't consider this. The move was from Los Angeles to Atlanta so of course I expected it to take a couple weeks and Duane warned me that it would be up to 20 days. The move took a month. It wasn't a huge deal for me bc I had bought a couple things to stay comfortable, but the delivery man told me when he arrived that he could have gotten the pickup days earlier but the company had decided to place my things 30 miles away in Oxnard and not keep them in LA where he was located. So maybe bad communication there. When my stuff arrived, I was waiting outside the truck and they lifted the door to reveal my stuff literally had made an 8ft wall along the back of the trailer against the door. Immediately a box from the top of this wall tumbled to the ground and I heard things smash. It became apparent to me that the moving company had at some point dismantled EVERYTHING to try and make it fit. This included things I would not have had dismantled, like a vintage record stand I inherited and a water crock stand. Both of these items were broken in the move. When the stuff arrived, another man also showed up to reassemble my things. This ended up being another situation where he was ready to go before the job was done and I had to ask for him to reassemble a bathroom shelf they had taken apart. I asked about the broken items and they said it would be noted. It was at this point the truck driver told me that i had to save the sticker/barcode from each item to make a claim. This was the only verbal information I received during the whole process of how to make a claim. Maybe it was in the fine print of my receipt but it was not clearly explained. As the unpacking process continued I noticed that several things were missing ! 2 large shelves, a decorative statue and a whole 2ft/2ft canvas painting ! So how do I make a claim on things that never even arrived ? I will soon find out as I just turned in the claim form and there were no instructions for such. Overall, I'm annoyed but the whole process and don't have high hopes for much of a refund even tho I was promised "full value protection" It's my theory that these big names literally outsource EVERYTHING to small companies, probably at the lowest cost, while they rake in the cash. I doubt Duane even gets paid by Allied Van Lines. I don't really know who this Blue Chip company is but that's who they sent me to review . In short BEWARE! If they can lose and break all these things in my small move, I can't image the job they'd do on a full house. Below are some pics to show I'm legit. Side note: the auto move went perfectly!!! (Also outsourced)

My stuff arrived on time and everyone was so kind! Keith the driver and Duane Morgan were awesome as well as the movers. Grateful my items arrived safe and in a timely manner.

Blue Chip is the absolute WORST!!! I cannot believe how unprofessional they are. They sent workers who left their food and trash all over our home. They DESTROYED OUR FURNITURE. Essentials items like fridge, washer, dryer and couches. They lost our kitchen table leg and hardware, my sons bed hardware, and even had a box that wasn't our delivered. We have items missing like our ladder, step stool, decorative items and linens that were in boxes. Moving is already stressful and they made the move WORSE. I will never use them EVER again. They totally SCAMMED us by taking our money and RUINING our home.

Taking care with each piece of furniture.

Best overall price for cross country move. Promised price is what we paid - no extra fees added. In-person sales rep (Duane Morgan) was knowledgeable and professional. He stayed in constant communication with us. Movers on both ends were professional, fast and respectful. Truck driver who picked up the goods was the same driver who delivered. He (Jaime) was a great leader and took good care of his team. Transit time was as quoted.

Don't waste your time with others.  Call Brad today!

My experience with Blue Chip Moving, an agent for Allied Van Lines was superb! From the initial estimate process conducted by Brad to the delivery of my items by the trucker Horacio, the experience made my cross country move a breeze. Brad was able to go through my items for a very precise estimate of cost which beat the competition! Blue Chip even connected me with a good broker to ship my car which went smooth as silk. The communication from the moving coordinator Debbie was great, and I never had a worry. Both my car and items were delivered in an extremely timely fashion and in their original condition. This was easily my least stressful move, and I have done this a couple of times. I would HIGHLY recommend that you do yourself a favor and call Brad for a free consultation today!

Foreman: Jesus and Jose…read more Extremely pleased with services. Moved locally from DTLA to Sawtelle area. No issues with furniture being damaged.

Do Not Reccomend, be warned…read more I hired this company because of its strong reviews and was willing to pay more for a professional, efficient move. Unfortunately, my experience was the opposite. I paid about $1,650 before tip, roughly $1,800 total, and ended up with damaged furniture, a damaged wall, a broken TV stand, and an excessively long move. Two of the three movers appeared to speak almost no English, and the third spoke limited English and had to translate for the others. The issue was that the crew could not reliably understand or follow instructions. Several times I made specific requests and was told "OK, OK," only for the crew to continue doing exactly what I had asked them not to do. At one point I had to repeat myself about five times and finally stop them and insist they change the loading order. It should not require an argument to get movers to follow a clear instruction. I own expensive Stickley furniture and other high-end pieces and explicitly told the crew that several items needed exceptional care. I repeatedly asked for more padding and blankets because certain pieces were not adequately protected. On at least two occasions I specifically asked for another blanket, and the mover simply repositioned the existing blankets and kept wrapping. When the furniture was unwrapped, I found scuffs on leather, scratches and chips in wood, marks on my TVs, a broken leg on my nearly new TV stand, and damage to several other pieces. The problem seemed less like laziness and more like lack of experience, organization, and leadership. The time reinforces that concern. My previous move involved significantly more belongings, more preparation by the movers, and a destination about 30 minutes farther away. It also used three movers and was completed in about 5.5 hours, including double drive time. Based on that, I expected this smaller move to take about four hours, five at the absolute most. Instead, it took about eight. Everything except furniture was already packed, I had removed many fragile and awkward items myself, and I had reserved a loading area and dedicated elevator. Even so, individual trips between the apartment and truck were taking roughly 20 minutes despite the distance being only about 32 steps each way. I expected roughly $800-$1,000 plus tip. Instead, I paid about $1,650 plus tip. In my estimation, I paid at least $650-$800 more because of the crew's inefficiency and lack of experience. The most unacceptable incident involved damage to my old apartment. Near the end of the load-out, I found a substantial fresh gouge/chip next to an electrical outlet. I immediately brought it to the movers' attention, and they denied causing it. I had plugged my vacuum into that exact outlet and vacuumed the area no more than ten minutes earlier. The damage was not there then, and it was there after the movers worked there. Damage can happen during a move. What bothered me was being told something that repeatedly that, was plainly not credible. I contacted the company immediately and sent photos. I had to follow up repeatedly before being told the claims department would contact me. The following business day came and went without contact, leaving me to address the damage with my landlord. There was also an issue with the drive between locations. Before leaving, the lead mover and I compared Google Maps and both showed about 29 minutes. The truck then took a different route and arrived about 11 minutes later. Because the company charges double drive time, that effectively became about 22 billable minutes @ 200 per hour. The workers were personable and they did work. My criticism is that the company sent a crew that appeared inadequately trained, inadequately supervised, inefficient, unable to communicate effectively, and unable or unwilling to follow clear instructions regarding expensive property. I chose this company because its reviews made me believe paying a premium would buy professionalism, efficiency, and care. That is not what I received. I would not use this company again and cannot recommend them

You don't want broken things when you already have dealt with the stress of moving. Here is the list of things broken: Subject: Moving Insurance Claim - Damaged and Missing Items Dear AJ, I am writing to formally submit a comprehensive moving insurance claim for multiple items and property that were damaged during my recent relocation from Richmond Ca to San Diego Ca.

They never complained and kept pushing through. Jose was great at communicating too. And they ask questions instead of assuming, which I appreciate a lot. I just wish the scheduling person was as communicative as Jose. The scheduling experience was not great - the person on the phone kept mishearing me. I clearly told them my house has 2 bedrooms and a bonus room, but in reality they only planned for moving 1 bedroom, resulting in understaffing, which made me ended up paying more because of the long hours and overtime. The scheduling person didn't even get my name right...the scheduling experience was pretty bad. But the actual moving experience was good. I guess next time I will just have to be extra cautious with the scheduling office.

I am giving them 2 stars for the following reasons... 1 star…read moreearned because Eric (the scheduler/owner) was nice enough to not charge me any cancellation fees since I had to cancel on them twice due to delays on the purchasing of our new property and the timing around the listing of our current property for sale. Eric was understanding of my moving situation and worked around it. My first impression was not positive because I specifically requested for 3 men, but no need for a truck (aka, labor only) as I just needed help moving items from the house into the garage, yet 3 guys showed up in a large moving truck and struggled to find parking on the narrow alley of the street... poor planning on their part. As for the actual moving team Daniel and his team were very fast, efficient, and friendly so I'll give them another star here. However, they used excessive amounts of plastic wrapping, then charged me extra for the "extra roll" they had to use, which I was not very happy about, but fine, I'll let this one go. Minus the first star because they were rough with a few of my items - broke my shredder machine and put dents as well as cracks in my wooden floor during the moving process. Minus a second star because one of the movers decided to pick oranges from my orange trees without asking and started eating it whole (including the skin and all) then threw the leftovers into my yard like a savage animal; gross. I am not oppose to sharing, but at least have the decency to ask first. How it was carried out made it feel like a disrespect to me and my property. Minus a 3rd star because at the end of the move, before they allow you to pay, they essentially force you to write a positive Google or Yelp review. You have to show it to them in-person before they accept your payment. This makes their reviews biased and inaccurate as customers/clients are forced by pressure to give them a good review in their presence. Be careful when trusting all the 5-star reviews that they have. I removed my original 5 star review that I wrote on Google and decided to write a more accurate review of my experience on here instead. Prices are expensive. They charge $85/man/hour and require you to pay a minimum of 3 hours even if you don't actually need 3 hours of their service. I ended up paying $765ish for a 1.5 hour job :( Sadly, I will not be using their services again.
