Before I tell you about my move with America's Moving Services I would like to stress the dishonest companies on here. I called 5 of the top companies from this website for quotes and also had 3 in house estimates from the large moving van lines, Atlas, North American and a Paul Arpin agent as well. N.A was quoting me $7,500.00 Atlas was $8,000.00 and Paul Arpin was $7,700.00 all 3 were out of our budget. America's Moving Services was quoting us $4,900.00 while another of the moving companies from here was $2,000 and another was $3,000 and I will not name them in fairness to them. We decided on the local California company that was at $3,000.00 to do our move. On our moving date they showed up in a crappy rental truck and proceeded to tell me that A) our price would increase for packing, boxes, supplies, and materials by close to $1,000 and B) Our cubic feet was more than estimated.....We were told that they were quoting by weight and that ALL the packing was included. When we confronted the movers with that they became very belligerent and angry with us and we sent them away. We called America's Moving Services back and they told us if we could move 2 days later they could accomodate us for the initial price they quoted us so we agreed and waitied. The driver called and said he would be to us in the morning between 8 and 12 and showed up at 10:30. They packed everything andloaded it in about 6 hours or so. The only extra charge they had was for a shuttling fee because the tractor trailer could not fit on our street and they had to rent a Ryder truck so they charged us an extra $400.00 They were the only ones who seemed honest and did a great job with our move. We recieved our items on Friday and I would like to thank them for not only a great move but for helping us out when the "other" company could not do what they promised us.
