My daughter hired Allied to move her and my 2 young grandchildren from Montana to near me in Michigan, immediately following her divorce. They emailed her a quote of $2100. They showed up after 8pm, the night before her closing date on her house. They had to be out. When the movers showed up, they were a Slovakian and an Asian, neither could speak any real English, but were both fluent in Russian. The Slovakian put stuff in the truck while the other tried to keep my daughter distracted away from him. Fortunately, she wasn't so distracted that she didn't notice him tagging multiple boxes and items multiple times, trying to increase the recorded cubic feet used. He played dumb when she called him out on it. After it was all loaded, the driver asked for the payment, which was double the quote. He told her if she didn't like it, they would dump her belongings in her yard and leave. She paid. They told her that her stuff would be somewhere in Michigan, and no, you can't know exactly where, nor can you access your things. You cannot rent a truck to pick it up yourself. They can't extort you more if they let you do that. Before the day came, which was today, to have her belongings delivered, they had extorted her for about $6000. Even though she took the 3 biggest items off when she wound up selling them. So you'd think the cost would have gone down, not up. After she told me about what was going on, I looked into them and saw hordes of awful reviews about them. We knew then that she would be lucky to ever see her stuff again. So many have not. Two days ago, they said it would be a week to get her stuff. When she asked why, they said because they had to get a semi and drive 1600 miles. If her stuff was in Michigan like they said, why 1600 miles and a week? The very next day, she got a voicemail saying they would be here today, and yet another, final payment of $3400 would be due upon delivery. Cas or money order,, of course. She decided that nothing she has is worth allowing the extortion to continue, and that she would not pay it. Two different men showed up in the biggest 18 wheeler I've ever seen. The driver spoke Russian, very poor English. The other guy, the big one who served as the "muscle", did not speak. He only tried to intimidate. I told them one of two things were going to happen... either you don't unload her stuff and get sued, or you do unload and the company can try to sue her for not allowing them to extort her. They did not unload, and she watched them drive away. Them immediately, 3 back to back phone calls from people at the company called her, trying to threaten her. If you don't pay up and take your stuff, we'll store it and charge you storage fees and a redelivery fee. In a couple months, we will auction it off. She refused their antics, and about 5 minutes later, the truck drove by again. They waited to see if they could force her to pay up. So my daughter and 2 young grandchildren lost all their belongings today. Photos, crafts the kids made, family mementos, among the rest. These people don't care who they hurt, as long as they get as much money as they can squeeze out of them. Something needs to give.
