    Damage to mahogany lingerie chest from pressure placed on top

    DO NOT USE Takes Advantage of Customers, Seniors and Persons With Disabilities - as a disabled person I paid thousands of dollars to have Reliable Van and Storage Allied Van Lines move me from my home in NJ into their storage in NJ for 10 months, then into my new home in SC. While unloading the final Pieces of furniture, othey were all damaged, antique table legs beyond repair, craftique Mahogany Bedroom set damaged and then workers stopped to take a marijuana break leaving me to finish myself. The driver claimed pieces were damaged at the warehouse. When filing a claim employees keep directing you to Allied claims who rarely respond to calls. In all I received a check for $156.00 for thousands of dollars in damages and $250 for having to deal with a pot head work crew. The people I dealt with at corporate were Salesman Bill Jackson, Stephen Leo, Brad Tonklen and from the insurance Kathlyn Rounds. We filed photos and comparable items online with values and after 6 months they again request photos to prolong the process -

    Loaders handled the boxes aggressively that handles were broken for many
    Sarath J.

    While they did try to helpful there were many issues with them 1. They over estimated the weight of house 2. I only got back a fraction of the cost I paid as reimbursement for less freight 3. The loaders were rude, damaged the house, were unprofessional and very shady 4. My goods were damaged during transit. (Boxes, metal cupboard, parts box lost) 5. Insurance was a terrible hassle (Makes a lot of excuses, only provided token amounts for cosmetic damage, expects me to find repairmen..)

    Inside of one box.

    Horrible service! First estimate was $4,500, but when the mover actually came they charged an extra $3,000 because they said it was too much stuff. They clearly under-packed multiple boxes. They would put a view items in each large box and then stuff it with paper. There were multiple boxes with only a few items! Ridiculous! Supervisor/foreman was super shady and got angry when I argued with him. Asked to take a picture of my stuff in the truck and he refused. Asked for a portion of the estimate in cash which I did not have because I wasn't expecting it to be $3,000 more. Got angry and would not give the contract, inventory, or even a receipt of the cash he received and just left. When I asked for his name, he gave a fake name! Workers did not understand English and packed everything including all my shoes! I specifically asked them not to pack my shoes and a few other items. I was swindled. Do not use them unless you want to be swindled too.

    "Packing" of kids' toys

    Reliable Van and Storage charged us more than $22,000 for a full service pack, ship and unpack to move from NJ to MA. They failed to pack our goods in the manner agreed, many items were damaged, not taken care of, and destroyed, and they also failed to unpack our goods. Further, the workers that were hired and that were in our home did not follow COVID-19 guidelines such as wearing masks, and were repeatedly rude to our family. We have documented numerous examples of the terrible job performed by Reliable Van and Storage, and they have acknowledged they did not perform the services which were agreed to in our contract. However, despite this acknowledgement they have not provided a refund. I would not recommend using this company as they do not provide the agreed upon or paid for services. Quick follow-up: Please note that Reliable does not post any reviews on their website that are not 5 star. I have written a review on their site that they have refused to post. In my opinion, this filtering of reviews is unethical.

    Broken Venetian glass
    Paul A.

    Not very good. My Venetian glass, statue of St. Michael, the glass to my Monet and Cezanne pictures were broken. Mind you, I gave each of the movers in Jersey City $50 tips, totally $150, with plenty of Gatorade and water. Use Flat Rate movers, which I have used four times without any incident. Based upon the response from Reliable, it appear Coleman did the shipping but Reliable did the packing at my Jersey City residence, which the originating point I believe the majority of the fault is most likely Reliable, the people who did pack my things: my Venetian glass, which was inexplicably packed under big heavy books and poorly wrapped.

    Elevator filled with furniture left by the movers so no one else could use the elevator.

    This year has been a lot of moving for me, and moving is so stressful. I've heard great reviews…read morefrom my nyc friends about roadway moving, so I decided to get a quote from them. After talking to them, I knew I wanted to go with them. Their customer service, attention to details, and organization are 5-star levels. One thing that really stood out to me was that instead of asking me how many boxes I need, they asked me to send them pics of my place and stuff, and they calculated the number of small, medium and large boxes I need. It's so easy to underestimate and get a different price at the end. Also, I know I wanted packers because its speeds up the entire process of moving and settling in. I'm so glad I did with Roadway. It usually takes me over half a week to pack and be stressed for over a week, but Diego and his 3 teammates packed up our studio in 2-3 hours. They're so professional. They moved so quickly with care and accuracy. Most importantly, all my kitchen appliances were wrapped with care and delivered and arrived to my new apartment in the same condition. It took us about 2 hrs to settle in, and they once again unpacked most of the furnitures and reassembled them, making me feel settled in and relaxed. I cannot thank their team enough. They're all so polite, friendly and efficient. Within 1 day, I already feel 95% settled in. It's the easiest, stress-free moving experience I had in a while!

    I wish I could give negative stars! We spent an exorbitant amount of money to move from California…read moreto Florida in addition to paying for custom crating. They broke our special chandelier that was supposed to be packed with peanuts and had one blanket, both our TVs and our marble dining table in addition to many other items. Special crating legally falls under a different insurance standard but they offered the standard $.60/pound which doesn't come close to covering the damage. The damage was almost $50,000 and they offered $4000. We are tired of the lack of responsibility. It took months to even get that offered. Run to a different company!!! beware!
