   Allen Davis.

   Allen Davis movers have moved my friend Sandy S. several times and she was very pleased with their service. I called them this morning to get an estimate for a move back east and felt he was very honest about the cost. He told me he would have to charge me more than the big guys who have bigger trucks which the load up with several loads . He could have just try to bamboozle me and had me use his company but was frank about how I could get a better deal somewhere else. It was refreshing .

   OWNER mistreats Asian American clients

   AS CRAZY AS THIS MAY SOUND...BUT Alllen Davis hires piss smelly street help. Strong stench!. EWW. VILE THING is Davis  blamed MY CAT. Sorry Davis. But me cat is WAY CLEANER THAN YOU and YOUR STANKY homeless WORKERS. Davis also broke, hid, and took my priceless two GOLD mirrors. Mr. Davis told the BBB after he drove away that he "discarded them." WTH??? I thought he stole them. Same outcome. Am thinking he did keep them for himself. FIVE FINGER discount, eh Davis? Second, one of his workers stank of powerful urine. Needed a Pinesol bath real BAD. Dirty van. Found cockroaches crawling out of my boxes at destination. YECK! See pic. Also, chipped and scratched up $800 grandfather clock. He so cheap he lacked bubble wrap. El Cheapo Moving company. Filed lawsuit to get some reparations from Davis. Met him in court. Women judge questioned him. His face turned beet RED. Stuttered at the judge. Wore faded T shirt, shorts and flip flops in court. Seriously??! In court dude??? AVOID AND BOYCOTT Allen Davis like HERPES. TOTALLY GHETTO. STEALS AND DAMAGES YOUR POSSESSIONS. LIES over phone, sweet talks you. But breaks promises.  Backstabbing, Robbing you later. Find ANOTHER MOVER. Plenty GOOD ONES in San Diego and they are NOT jerks NOR Anti-Asian Racists like Allen Davis. I speak from direct experience, sadly. During our initial meeting, Davis acted like a white KKK leader. He was hostile, refused to shake me hand, refused to furnish bubble wrap, floor coverings as promised, NOT to mention STEALING FROM ME. And I AM Chinese American. WTH Davis?? Are you a KKK member? You treat your paying clients like SCUM but you ARE SCUM, sir. Just look elsewhere. Save yourself headaches and gray hair. Allen Davis is a old school ghetto racist, NO other explanation for his racial abuse. My fault; I should have fired his racist ASS.

   Worst Most Shady Unprofessional Moving Company Ever Used in California..

   WORST MOST SHADY UNPROFESSIONAL MOVING COMPANY EVER USED IN CALIFORNIA.. We hired Mr. Allen Davis Jr, a one man show mover in March 2009 for a 500 mile move; Davis showed up ONLY with kitchen saran wrap for the move after he promised to bring all needed packing materials. WHAT A CHEAPSKATE!! Hence, many items were broken; Davis refused to reimburse for all insurance covered items. Cheapskate INDEED! Davis pilfered our two gold framed mirrors, and blamed his hired helpers and lied and covered it all up; had to file police report and take him to small claims court; his face changed from pale white to beet red as he answered the judge while wearing beach [EDIT] clothes with flip flops, denim shorts and soiled gray T-shirt IN COURTY(NOT Professional Again!); never addressed female judge as 'Your Honor' ever; quite contempt of court if you asked me. He hires illegal aliens who only spoke Spanish and smelly homeless moving men, reeks of urine; and sits in his van instead of supervising his men; very lazy; just to save lots of $$ by cutting corners for his paying clients. Davis' van is suspiciously unmarked, come to think of it, must be a rental van; not professional at all. Hence, damaged items. Has large roaches on his truck which wound up in my bags and then, my new apt. Yeck!! Therefore, DO NOT USE HIM! Look somewhere else if you want a reliable honest mover and always READ other's moving reviews online Before hiring a mover to avoid going thru my moving HELL..

   Worst, But True Experience W/allen Davis Moving Systems of San Diego.

   WORST MOVING EXPERIENCE EVER WITH ALLEN DAVIS MOVING SYSTEMS!! THIS IS ALL TRUE AND ACTUALLY HAPPENED TO ME..CAN FURNISH PICS UPON REQUEST.. I hired mr. allen davis for a long distance move in march 2009. he sounded trustworthy, cordial and reliable over the phone. but come moving day: DON'T!! he promised to bring all necessary packing materials, but only showed up with a roll of flimsy KITCHEN SARAN WRAP!(see pics above) he even angrily chastised me to 'go out and buy your own brown wrapping paper AND pay for it out of your own pocket!!' when I complained to him. allen davis had NONE of the standard bubble wrap, wardrobe boxes, cardboard boxes, disassembling tool kit or even the quality brown wrapping paper(NORMALLY ALL supplied by PROFESSIONAL movers)promised over the phone to cushion and safeguard my things for the 500 MILE trip..all to cut corners, and make allen davis lots of $$ for himself. Of course, come things got banged up(see pics above). He treats his paying first-time patrons like myself like caca. Also, there was no direct supervision of his moving men over the move as allen davis sits in his van during moves; smelt old urine when one of them walked by me each time. LIVE GIANT 3-inch cockroaches found in my bags crawled out into my new apt. kitchen after being stored overnight in his moving van. (see pics above) I did Not have a pest problem before the move. Must be allen davis' hired buddies [EDIT] a ride..LOL Worst of all, took and kept two of my 20 year old antique gold-framed mirrors when he left property. (see pics above); boy, I miss those two mirrors..wonder if they're being held for a hefty ransom?? Then, allen davis TWICE demanded I pay him an additional $120.00 for 'waiting around!' This is AFTER I have already paid him $2500! BOTTOM LINE: if you are searching for a qualified mover, hire ONLY BBB-approved PROFESSIONAL Movers..allen davis moving systems IS NOT one of them and NOT VERY Professional!! DO NOT make the SAME mistake!.. shop smart..think BBB businesses FIRST..and of course, do read others' moving reviews..and hey, you all-DON'T EVER pay a mover $2500. for kitchen saran wrap and ABUSIVE RUDE STINGY service..and you won't get royally sc**d..Tommy.
