In their own words
My experience with this company was extremely disappointing from start to finish, and I would not recommend them to anyone. The problems began with the estimate. Nicole helped us with the initial quote and told us the cost would be around $4,000. She repeatedly instructed us to count every item carefully and warned us that the price could change if we missed anything. At no point did she explain that the estimate would be based on volume, cubic measurements, or square footage.
Hi, I'm the owner here. I dont know a Nicole, Pole Position carrier, or charge by cubic footage. We have 10 people that wokr in coordination and operations. No Nicole. Seems you have had some problems with some folks, but its not our company. Kindly remove this review.
Disappointed. I used this company based on the reviews from Google reviews. I paid to have them pack my items, store in Colorado, then for a cross country move to the southeast US. The crews were very professional (no problem there). The crews packed my things and everything was going well. When it came time to receive my items, they were late; not once, not twice, but three times. On the third time, we discovered they hadn't even loaded them on the cross country truck! Once delivered, numerous items were broken.
Mr. Saxton, we are sorry to hear of your disappointment with our services. We made the mistake of accepting your move dates to deliver over the Christmas holiday of 2020-2021. It's fairly tricky time to deliver a shipment 1700 miles away over the Christmas holiday time.
Working with American moving and storage has been the worst experience that I have ever had while moving. Their sales reps are very kind, but work in a very shady way. I called for an interstate move quote at the start of February for an end of March move and for roughly 900 miles I was told it would be $1800. Paid half up front, then a quarter on pick up and a quarter on drop off. Pick up was scheduled for end of march and delivery scheduled for 7 days later. Sounded like a great deal to me.
Hey Matthew, we're certainly happy to help. You got the moving broker deal. And its quite unfortunate. While we hold a similar name to the company hired, this single office location in Boulder, CO is not a move broker at all.
I CANNOT EXPRESS HOW MUCH I DO NOT RECOMMEND American Moving and Storage/Bekins!!! This by far is the worst moving experience we've ever had. We hired American Moving & Storage/Bekins to move our four-bedroom home from CO to MN between 8/24 - 9/10. The first part of the moving experience was good and met expectations. The team that arrived was professional, hardworking and appeared to take good care of our furnishings. That is where the quality customer service ended.
We at American Moving & Storage are committed to providing high-quality services and value the feedback of all our customers. We've noted the concerns shared in recent reviews and want to express our dedication to resolving any issues that arise, always aiming for the satisfaction of our clients.
three room 700 sq in same zepcoud asking $1800 may more. After i did review the owner call me use diffrent pho # to bother me and threaten , i dont understand if he very care the review why he did so stupid motion?!?! and asking me remove my review. i told him im not going to change anything and you cannot request me to do anything. do not text and call me. after that he still text me. i blocked him.
Actually we quoted $875 to $1225 for a 2 bedroom apartment going from 2nd floor to house. 1 hour ago Berion told our sales department he has lots, lots, and lots of stuff. But he wouldn't go into details.
Had a recent move with this American Moving. They hired a driver from a different company to transfer our items. During my move, they did not correctly estimate how much space the driver would need and upon driver arrival to the warehouse, the driver claimed she didn't have enough space and proceeded to opening our boxes and sniffing through the items to "minimize space". This was done without our permission.
Gigi, we apolgize for the experience you've had please call me, owner, Gabriel Kierson at [phone removed]. Thank you.
I chose this moving company because my sister used them twice. To start the movers we’re 30 minutes late. I was quoted 40.00 per TV because the movers used a special box to move the TVS in. When the movers went to move the TV they told me it was 125.00 to move the only TV we chose to have them move. I told them never mind I’ll get it moved myself.
Hello we've tried to reach you several times to review the booking call. What we found on the booking call is directly in contrast to what you state above. I'm sorry you and heard it differently but we reviewed it 3 times...... Please call [phone removed] to discuss with your sales person.
Very little attention to detail. Very poor customer service. Crew lead lacks customer service skills. Upper management had to show up on site to remedy situation. Would not use again. 1) Tried to lay our LED TV on its back for transportation, and did not know that this is the best way to ruin a flatscreen TV due to the stress load being distributed on the actual screen. Customer had to prevent this and tell them to store in a vertical position.
Jacob, We apologize for your experience. As soon as notified that you were concerned our management came out to the site. I apologize that we were unable to provide satisfaction, as you posted this poor review after we had reached a mutual resolution.
What satisfied customers point to
The same method, applied to the four and five star reviews. Most movers are praised for the same handful of things, so what is missing here is often as telling as what is present.

In their own words
My experience with American Moving & Storage was better than excellent. Ishmael and Jason were on-time, carefully listened to my hopes and concerns, immediately took action, and never stopped for a moment until the job was done. They are clearly experienced but also very interested in communication and customer satisfaction. I will ask for them again as soon as the opportunity arises. From the beginning conversation with Fernando who scheduled the appointment, everything went smoothly.
Hi Jane, thank you for the great review. Its customers like you that make our business so successful. We're happy to help anytime.
I have used American Moving for several local moves in the Denver/Boulder area over the years, and I keep coming back to them because of their excellent service. Once again, I was really pleased with my 2-man crew this time (Ben and Noah), who were professional, competent, careful with my furnishings, and fun to work with. And the communications from the main office were outstanding - giving me an accurate quote, confirming the move a couple days ahead, and even calling to check in while the move was in progress.
Wow, what a fantastic and thorough review. We appreciate you providing that for our team and company. Thank you!
Just moved about 45 minutes away with a full pack and move. Overall they did good, but there were plenty of small but undesirable issues faced. This was our third experience with a pack/move. Everyone at the company is professional, friendly, and helpful. My review would be 3 stars if not for the owners willingness to remediate and generally caring about customer satisfaction. This is a quality very difficult to find. Packing: 2 packers arrived on-time.
I don't mind moving but I hate that feeling you have when you give up your furniture to "strangers" & wonder how it will arrive on the other end! Dee Hughes reassured me my possessions would be taken care of & to be honest I didn't totally believe her. I have moved alot & NEVER had a decent experience.....until this move with American Movers! Dee was right! The guys were so careful with loading up all those boxes & my huge pieces of furniture, I was very impressed.
Hi Sue, we'd be thrilled to earn a great review like this! But, we are in Denver, please take a minute to post this review to their page, American Moving in Savannah, GA.
