This is the 3rd time I have used Piece of Cake. They completed my move from lower Manhattan to…read moreCenter City Philadelphia this past week. They had seamlessly loaded the contents of my 650 square foot apartment including large/heavy fragile furniture with glass (8 foot tall dresser with mirror weighing 250 lbs, and 50 galloon reptile tank) in about 1 hour. We promptly left via car to meet them at our new address in Philly, and they arrived at exactly the same time as we did. They unloaded the truck in about an hour again, and helped partially unpack and put items in the proper places, especially the furniture that would have been hard for me to move on my own later. I will continue to use Piece of Cake, and have recommended to several friends over the years that I have been using them. It was quick working with the customer support team initially to quote the move, make payment, and on COIs and confirmation. When we move again in a couple years Piece of Cake will be the only mover I call. My recommendation to others considering the service, be transparent and honest about the contents of your move, especially items requiring extra protection even if there is an additional fee involved. There were no surprise add-ons in my move because we carefully selected every single item that would be included in our move early on in the process, and made sure to reply in detail to the follow up emails regarding insurance, access to the apartments (stairs vs elevator, reserved elevator, etc.), and so on move-in day everything went off without a hitch. Piece of Cake are professionals and we love the service.

The crew was amazing, incredibly profeessional, polite, took excellent care with our belongings, and went out of their way to make sure everything was addressed. We were stressed about the move but it went so smooth, and they made it so easy, that we had nothing to worry about. We had them pack all of our belongings, best choice we ever made. It would have taken us days to do it ourselves and things would have broken along the way. They did it quickly and securely and it went off without any incidents. Thanks for a great experience, you can't go wrong with these guys!

I can personally attest to a positive experience with my move from Los Angeles, CA to Italy. Nathan was a wonderful help on the US side. Incredibly communicative and attentive. The Schumacher team is also the only one of all of the companies I inquired with that came to do an in person survey. I felt they were very informative about the process and transparent, answering all of my questions and really making sure I felt confident. The team that came out and packed up our things were nothing short of professional. We had been given a general timeline on when to expect our things and had regular contact and updates as our things were set to arrive and go through customs here in Italy. The whole process was incredibly smooth. They provided me with realistic expectations all the way through, and especially with any possible end-of-journey costs that could come up so I was able to be prepared. Everything arrived safe and sound, with no damage and nothing broken. The team who delivered our things worked quickly and had everything delivered to our home by early afternoon! If life every takes me overseas again I will absolutely be turning back to Schumacher after this positive experience!

Absolute nightmare experience. Avoid the Los Angeles branch at all costs!…read more I was originally quoted $5,630 to ship two cars in a single container from Arizona to Germany, starting December 19th. The plan was to route them through Houston, Texas. Instead, without my permission, Schumacher shipped them to Los Angeles. When I demanded answers, they claimed a salvage title meant the car couldn't ship from Texas--a claim I highly doubt. This unauthorized rerouting caused massive delays and endless hidden fees. While in LA, they held my cars hostage until I paid an unexpected $7,765 for an "extra customs checkup." It took over five full months just to get the cars to Europe. Once in Germany, Schumacher tacked on another surprise fee of $3,931.40 just to release the vehicles, completely ignoring their original quote of around $520 per car. To make matters worse, their German destination partner, SATS Group GmbH, was completely unprofessional, clueless, and a nightmare to deal with. They tried to force an absurd, double-taxation customs scheme on me regarding my final delivery to Bulgaria. I paid triple what I was originally quoted, suffered through a 5+ month delay, and dealt with shocking unprofessionalism. I will never use Schumacher Cargo Logistics again, especially the Los Angeles branch. Be warned!

You will be impressed with this company, and they are honest…read more ALBO moved me last week, and this was my 2nd time using them. I moved from Delaware to NJ and this time, back to Delaware. My team consisted of Alex, the owner, who honored their 5 % discount if booked 3 weeks before moving, and my movers, Eugene and Serge. Eugene contacted me the day before to confirm & ask some questions about my contents, and he kept me informed all along as to their arrival time. All went well but it took longer than expected with only 2 men. They were careful and followed my instructions re: delicate or previously damaged furniture. I asked if they would tell me when the heavy furniture was coming inside because I wanted to put padding on the legs to protect the wooden floors. This slowed them up but it helped me because I might have forgotten about doing that later. Also, I asked them to carry many boxes to the basement, and that I appreciated so much. I was very concerned about one piece, an antique rocker that had 2 breaks in one leg. Much to my surprise, Eugene placed a reinforced bandage on the leg and I am still using it until I take it to get repaired. While packing the month before, I had forgotten where I had hid some valuable jewelry. Well, low and behold, when my bedroom was already emptied, I saw my 2 stashes of gold and silver on the window sill. When I went to Eugene, I commented that I would never have known if they had kept it, and thanked him profusely. His response, "My parents taught me right, I guess." As far as Albo's rates and overall value go....You can't put a price on this kind of integrity and work ethic. The fact that I used them twice in 2 years speaks for itself. Packing for a move is one of the worst stresses in life. But having a moving company that is reliable and trustworthy will free up your mind to concentrate on other important things during your move.

I got my initial date range to receive my things at my destination in NC and moved it to an earlier date, so I'd have my furniture before Christmas. The day of my move, the movers were three hours late. I finally got to my destination and figured that I'd get settled in and my things would get here soon after. A lot of people were asking when my things would get here, and I noticed that no one contacted me. I reached out via email to find out that the truck carrying my things broke down. The driver was waiting to find out what la wrong, and everything I own is sitting somewhere stationary. There will not be a different truck going to get my things. I don't know how long it would have taken them to even let me know this was going on had I not called. So is another truck bringing my things to meet the agreed timeline? No. Will I have my furniture by Christmas? No, and I will probably ring in the new year with no furniture. Did they give me an updated estimate on when my things will arrive? No. What did they tell me? There's nothing they can do, and gave me the pleasure of knowing that'll I'll still be paying full price for the move and have to submit claims to see if I can get any money refunded. Allied really needs to choose better moving companies. Reliable is an ironic name. Please do yourself the favor of declining and choosing someone else.

My most recent move went without a hitch on the actual day, until the very same night when I realized they threw away ALL of my blankets and bedsheets into the TRASH. When I could not locate the missing blankets, I called the movers who were adamant that everything on the truck had been unloaded. I drove back to my old apartment TWICE and was still unable to locate the missing blankets until I checked the DUMPSTER, which is where they were. I had specifically requested that certain bag of soft blankets and bedsheets to be loaded onto the truck. They left All Trash in my apartment and instead trashed the very bag I specifically requested to be loaded. I had to dash to Walmart at 9:45PM to have bedding to sleep on. I took a 3rd walkthrough of my new apartment and the old apartment and I am also missing my tools. I am a single woman with a certain amount of tools to get by with small projects. Yet, ALL of my tools except for a Hammer are missing. Noting these things that were missing, I reached out to the manager, ALLEN, who assured me he would investigate what happened and would be calling me back. It has been 5 days with silence and no answers. Had I known my move would've ended with missing tools and trashed blankets, I would've gone with the other company. I am absolutely disgusted with this company and its lack of response. Would not be surprised if I were to continue to realize additional items missing.
