In their own words
Title: Unprofessional crew, destroyed furniture, and zero accountability I had a terrible experience with American Moving and Hauling during our recent move. Inexperienced Crew & Severe Property Damage: On moving day, a crew member openly admitted they were newly hired and inexperienced. Their lack of training resulted in the complete destruction of my office desk (the support leg was snapped entirely off due to violent mishandling), the damage to the Restoration Hardware Dining Table, and heavy damages and grease…
We take damage claims seriously, but this review leaves out important information regarding both the coverage selected for this move and our response afterward. … More
The movers and packers were excellent, professional, and kind; however, the company's management and operations are the core issue. I was given a very competitive initial quote of $2,175 ( around 1900 after referral discounts) (including $688 for packing and $1,487 for moving) based on Zillow photos and my agent's advice to estimate high. The company never requested an on-site estimate, despite claiming they did.
1. Zillow listings are for potential buyers. They will not show the contents of any cabinets or full shed/garage where clutter is usually hidden for pics. Your bill only increased on the packing portion by around $700. The move actually … More
Updating my review to 1 star - as I’ve unpacked the past few months, I’m noticing pieces of furniture are missing. The issues I encountered were all with my patio furniture. I moved all my boxes myself and hired this company to move my furniture. I cannot recommend this company to anyone. *** I had high expectations for this company given how many 5 star reviews they have. Unfortunately, furniture was broken and went missing during my move, which took less than 3 hours.
Laura, we apricate your feedback. Please accept our apologies that your move did not go smoothly. We want every customer to have a great experience with AMH. We have already begun the process for replacing the missing glass. We will be … More
The (three, should have been five) guys were very nice and respectful, but the overall experience was poorly planned. I say that with optimism. Here are some items: 1. Price. Feels like a bait and switch. Ultimately cost me close to TRIPLE what was quoted. Even after they walked through before getting started, then having me sign on the quote. 2. Duration. Took double the amount of time. Unacceptable. 14 hours total. 3. Labor. I helped move items, remove and fold moving blankets, and assemble furniture.
Mr Campbell, It's unfortunate that you feel that we didn't give you great service, but I would like to address your complaints. … More
I had to call the cops. I didn't hire American Moving to move anything for me, but three of their employees tried to fight me in the parking lot where I have a storage unit. I went to pick up stuff from my storage unit. When I arrived, I saw their truck blocking the door to my unit. I have an exterior access unit and this is not uncommon. Over the last year and a half of being in this unit, I've probably had my door blocked by no less than 10 people.
Hello Mr Easter. We appreciate all feedback, good or bad as it helps us grow and improve as a company. What we don't appreciate are false accusations against our character. After reading your review and then reading your history of Google … More
I hate to write this review because this company was delightful to work with however their crews caused extensive damage to our furniture, walls, ceiling fans, lamps and shades and wardrobe boxes. If you don't purchase "full insurance coverage" their third party only covers items based on weight. We were offered $80 for priceless antique damage and expensive brand new furniture damage.
Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad to hear that you found our team kind and communicative, though we regret that the move did not meet your expectations. … More
Be fully aware before hiring this company that they will double the price they originally told you - I have helped over 150 Families move and wanted to give this company a try based on a recommendation and was completely let down and so was my client. I sent photos to this company. We gave them all the information we possibly could. They came back later telling us that there was way more than they expected.
Hello Mr. Small. We are regret that you weren't satisfied with our service, but lets discuss the numerous times you've given false info in this review. We asked you to allow us to do an onsite estimate in regards to the move, since … More
Absolutely the worst company we have dealt with. They sent a third personal who was rude as can be. Did not put our items where instructed. When I complained they said this employee is just passionate. It wasn’t passion it was completely unprofessional and rude. Then they charged 15% for using a credit card but waits until you are paying to tell you. I absolutely would never use this worthless moving company. We still can’t find items in the garage. Absolutely horrible!! Usually women owned company’s take pride.
We respect every customer’s right to share their experience, but we also believe reviews should be accurate. … More

In their own words
Thank you American Movers! We had a wonderful moving experience. Our movers were seven of the kindest, friendliest, and most respectful young man that we have ever had the pleasure to work with. They worked so hard, and they were so careful to wrap and handle everything with care. They filled two huge moving trucks, and they completed the job on time and within budget. They followed directions perfectly on where to place items. They put all of our beds together.
Thank you so much for the wonderful review, Joann! We’re thrilled to hear that our team made your move a smooth and positive experience. We truly appreciate your kind words and recommendation. It was our pleasure to help, and we look forward to serving you again in the future!
We had an incredible experience with American Moving and Hauling this week. Amy was caring and helpful. Jackie was friendly, helpful and quick to respond. This was a quicker move than usual and Jackie made it happen for us. Emetreus and Lorenzo, our day of movers, were efficient, kind, professional and patient with me.
Thank you so much for the incredible review! We truly appreciate your kind words and are so glad Amy, Jackie, Demetrius, and Lorenzo were able to make a stressful situation much easier for you. We’ll be sure to share your feedback with the … More
We really liked working with this company. Very responsive to phone calls, everything handled cleanly online. The team that was sent to us arrived exactly on time and handled parking very well. They wrapped our furniture and delivered it to a new location without any damage.Everything was perfect.
Thank you, Mihai! We’re so glad everything went smoothly from the communication and online process to the moving day itself. We truly appreciate your kind words and are happy to hear the team arrived on time, handled everything carefully, and delivered your furniture without damage!
Brandon and his team did an amazing job. Handled our items with care and moved faster than we anticipated. Also came under the estimate they originally quoted. We will definitely use them again. Even for smaller jobs thank you American Moving and Hauling
Thank you, Vince! We’re thrilled that Brandon and his team handled your belongings with care, worked efficiently, and completed the move under the original estimate. We truly appreciate your support and look forward to helping with any future moves, large or small!
