Allied Van Lines

llied Van Lines - Best for easy schedulingAllied Van Lines covers every aspect of your move with full-service packages that include loading, unloading, shipping, and storage. It’s a carrier that focuses on long-haul relocation and international shipping. You can also pay to get extra care for bulky, valuable, or fragile items through its list of add-ons.

In its household moving package, you get furniture assembly, disassembly, and cleaning services. You can also ask third-party movers to handle these tasks. For international moves, it maintains a network of over 1,000 agents in more than 130 countries, with online shipment tracking included.

Why we chose Allied Van Lines: If you’re interested in corporate relocation, Allied Van Lines may be ideal as it takes a lot of precautions to prevent damage. The movers wrap your items with a heavy-gauge stretch wrap—a plastic sheeting that protects your sensitive furniture from stains and rips. You even get an adhesive-based cover to shield your carpet from dirt and grime.

Client perspectives: Holly (47) from Nova Scotia appreciated that the foreman gave her a clipboard with all her items’ tagged numbers. She explained that “he called off each item’s number while unloading, and [she] checked it off.” She also had a heavy cabinet that wouldn’t fit in the elevator, “but they took the initiative to take it up a few flights of stairs.”
