****Please read**** I was really really nervous when I was looking for a moving company. You talk to a lot of people, read reviews and you get disheartened that there's no great companies. This was the first time I used a moving company to move interstate. California to Texas. After all the drama and headaches, I decided to go with Allied. Roni (in California) helped me so much to find the right size I needed for my move and really worked out a great price for us. The pick up was fantastic our driver Ernie kept in touch with me the entire time, showed up even early, and loaded us quickly and efficiently. He was friendly and courteous, made sure all my things were loaded carefully. The best thing there were NO hidden costs. I read so many reviews about people saying their drivers showed up asking for money knowing they have you in a bind. He labeled all of my things and had notes on what every item was. I had over 200 pieces!! We touched base on our way to Texas and he dropped off just as he said he would. Their were guys waiting to unload us and they wasted no time. This whole experience for us honestly could not have gone better. If I could give 10 stars I would. Thank you to Colonial Van and Storage Inc for making this the best experience possible!! read more
