   They did all very well!!

   Great Moving Company! Lee and his staff work hard and are very professional. I would highly recommend. They finished the move faster than expected, and the final cost was well under the estimate. We couldn't have been more pleased.

   My crazy home closing

   If ever the need arises I would highly recommend Tony and Pedro (workers) it did cost me more but I’d expected it. First, it was the Weds before Thanksgiving! These guys worked so hard to make sure I got out of my old place. They also had to come back the Friday after the holiday to finish everything up. They were professional, listened to my needs and really were a pleasure to work with. Tyler worked with me on time and it was and all around good experience where it could’ve been a nightmare. I firmly believe that the 3 workers I had Tony, Pedro and I unfortunately can’t remember the 3rd gentleman’s name but they are the cream of the crop. They should be the premier movers of this company!! Thank you so very much for everything ????

   Good

   The team was incredible and I cannot thank them enough for the hard work of moving all my stuff up all those stairs! There was damage done to my coffee table, which was completely an accident, but David was great and refunded me for it in a timely manner.

   DO NOT USE

   ZERO STARS!!!! *Scroll past the 5 star comments that are more than likely coming from the owner himself* I find it disgusting that they try to bury actual reviews with fake ones to cover up the fact that the owner Jim runs a scam of a company. To the staff that knows what is happening behind closed doors. I ask you have integrity and leave the company. As for the movers or anyone looking to apply or currently work for this company I suggest you RUN the opposite way. I pray Jim gets a wake up call soon.

   Worst moving experience of my life, several thousands in damage

   No matter how clear you are with their sales rep about what needs to be done, you will never know what you will be charged until they have all of your possessions locked up on their trucks. They lure you in with a lower price and then you are stuck. If the amount is much higher and doesn't make any sense, you are left with no recourse. If you ask to speak with someone in management, they tell you that management is "unavailable because they are in meetings." If you suggest that the new, higher amount should be discussed with management, they will hold all your possessions hostage in their locked warehouse until you agree to pay the ransom. In an effort to save money, I moved moved about 35% of the property in my home prior to Advanced arriving. Advanced Moving and Storage is demanding I pay 54% MORE than estimated for them to move 35% LESS than estimated. Despite claims of their movers being professionals, the crew didn't know basic moving techniques and practices. The Advanced Moving and Storage crew: (1) caused several thousand dollars of avoidable damage to not only my property but my home, (2) didn't use packing materials with the items they packed even though they charged me for them, (3) didn't label boxes even though they tell their customers to do so, (4) didn't keep screws necessary to assemble beds with the beds (one set I found on another floor in a ball of packing materials, unlabeled), (5) sent my son to McDonald's to pick up their lunch with cash covering less than half of the cost of the order. A second crew that came to my home to finish the job abandoned by the first crew asked me why the crew didn't do things like lift the backs off of chairs so they were easier to move, chairs that scratched my walls in the way they moved them. Advanced Moving and Storage sold me "repair or replacement" coverage for an extra $125 yet have not mentioned or conceded replacement to me directly and want to have my items repaired by someone who does shoddy, temporary repair work that doesn't look like anything close to what it did when Advanced gets their hands on it. As part of their scheme, other than the deposit, Advanced will only accept forms of payment where the consumer has no recourse - cash, money order or cashier's check. And since you don't have any idea how much it will be, their charges can vary so widely and you can't get cashier's checks or money orders 24/7/365, your own personal safety is put at risk as you have to keep thousands of dollars in cash at the ready or they will keep your property until you do.

   Overcharge

   This was the worst experience of my life. These people are straight out thieves. The workers were great and they told me to be careful on the time spent because the company always put in more. When I confronted the company I was stymied. They begin by sending a truck that is too small for the inventory sent to them. Then they send a second truck and charge double. They even lied about their services.

    Liars and Thieves

    Absolutely the worst. Don't use them unless you want to learn what extortion really is. The owner is a bully and has a rotten mouth. The sales estimator doesn't know how to estimate a job. We are now working with past customers who have sued them and won and a lawyer. They will have another day in court! DO NOT BE FULLED BY THEIR 5 STAR REVIEWS. THEY WRITE THEM THEMSELVES. AS A JOURNALISM MAJOR AND GRADUATE, I CAN TELL YOU WITH CERTAINTY THAT ONE PERSON IS CRAFTING EACH OF THESE 5 STAR REVIEWS. PLEASE READ ON GOOGLE AND OTHER PLACES LIKE THE BBB TO GET AN ACCURATE READING ON THESE CRIMINALS
