The worst moving experience I have ever had (and I have had many): The list of failures is staggering: Items were broken, scratched, crushed, or smashed. Boxes were mislabeled to the point of being meaningless. Parts are missing from furniture and other belongings. Multiple lamps and shelves cannot be put back together. A $300 wall clock from Pottery Barn had the hands removed, and the clock mechanism was broken in the process, rendering the clock useless. Entire items cannot be located. My bed sheets and towels were used as packing material. Salt and pepper shakers were packed inside a box labeled “TOOLS.” (One example of our inability to find anything, and packers just throwing items into anything they could find.) The truck arrived half-loaded already, leaving insufficient room for our belongings. As a result, items were removed from their original boxes (think Apple products packed in their original packing), items were taken apart, forced in, and crushed together with other items. Our hanging clothes were placed in flat boxes, instead of wardrobe boxes. Folded clothes were taken out of drawers and thrown into boxes. Our coffee maker was thrown in the laundry basket. We had to buy a new mattress because they folded my son's twin mattress into thirds. My expensive decorative tree was smashed down to a stick. Tools and pictures were packed together. Custom Pelican Case foam was shoved in a wicker outdoor table. Car windshield shades were folded in half. A box of my personal effects was thrown in a box marked "garga toils" - along with some oatmeal. The children's beds were improperly put together, which is incredibly unsafe and a HUGE liability. We were not aware of this until, again, our PROFESSIONAL movers pointed it out to us - that screws were missing and/or stripped. We had to use reinforcement measures when we reassembled the beds in our new home. This company and everyone they partner with are only concerned about getting as much money as possible from your employer. STAY AWAY FROM THIS HELLISH COMPANY.

I have had such a bad moving experience with Atlas Van Lines, Imlach Movers, and Ace Relocation Services that I really regret using them for my move. Days after a very tiring cross-state move, the driver simply texted that delivery would occur the following morning at 8am. With less than 24-hours notice from the driver, I ended up arriving alone to a remote storage unit, where I repeatedly felt rushed and very uncomfortable with the delivery. The four-person crew quickly packed and stacked items in the darkened storage unit, despite my repeated requests to fully inspect things in daylight. Some furniture appears to have been placed without protection from scratches, dents and moisture, even directly on the concrete slab. The crew moved so quickly with so many items that I was basically reduced to just checking off their item numbers. My complaints were met with mocking and aggressive behaviors, including a threat to leave. Once, the driver forced the crew to take a break, but then the process started all over again. I now wish I'd recorded everything from the moment Atlas Van Lines, Imlach Movers, and Ace Relocation Services arrived, to have a video record of the movers' words and tone, their gestures, and the overall rushed and unfriendly experience. I expected my move would be done with delivery, but troubles and frustration continue more than two months later. The claims process been very tiring and frustrating. I have communicated with multiple representatives and their supervisors at the companies, yet my time spent on calls and emails to Atlas and Ace hasn’t helped. Ace and Atlas advised filing a claim for damages but then also said they'll only accept a single, once-and-for-all claim. How could I possibly know the extent of all damages before being able to inspect everything? I still haven’t seen all my possessions. When I have offered to meet at the storage unit and finally inspect everything, they have simply refused and offered no productive steps forward for inspection. It has been extremely frustrating trying to work with them. Instead of being able to get on with life, I’m having to spend time communicating with attorneys and hoping I'll eventually get fair treatment from Atlas and Ace. This isn’t what I needed from my move. I seriously regret my choice of Atlas Van Lines and Ace Relocation Services and will never make that choice again.

I paid approximately $11,000 for an interstate move. The head mover was hostile and inappropriate during the move and tried to pressure me to sign papers that I received High valuables items when I had not even examined the delivery items. Pieces of my antique were falling off during delivery and he denied that the parts were from the antique. He refused to safely secure my inversion table and even Michelle Blake at Atlas documented that it could have killed me as head mover refused to tighten and secure it. They also were not going to fully complete the move and left obstacles and doorways blocked and left furniture unassembled. When I confronted the manager all he said was that the head mover was inappropriate and offered 300 dollars which was never sent. There was extensive damage including property and household goods that were moved. I Filed a claim form with Ace uploading pictures and documents of damaged goods. They told me I had nine months from the date of the move to complete the claim form. They prematurely cut me off from the website claim form and I was no longer able to upload further damaged goods that I found to complete their form. I turned to the credit card company American Express who originally paid the claim and filed a dispute for several thousand dollars' worth of damage. After sending all my claim information to American Express they awarded in my favor the claim damage I asked for and Atlas is being asked to pay back a few thousand dollars. I received an email yesterday from a person who identified themselves as an Atlas employee that was threatening me. She stated that I owed 100% of the money back and they are closing my claims and not paying for ANY of the claims despite the fact that I paid Atlas for moving insurance. They are violating their own policy by closing my claim before their policy allows and refusing to pay for ANY of the damages stating it was too late as they offered me a small amount BEFORE I had completed the claim form! Finally, corporate show apathy towards their employee's hostile and likely illegal tactics toward their customers. All official letters and correspondence from a company should be in a permanent form such as a PDF, NOT a live attachment that can be changed in Outlook as Chelsie Drysdale had done in her first correspondence threatening me so unprofessionally and inappropriately, I wondered if she was really from Atlas. Then a few days later she deleted the original attachment email letter she sent me, modifying the live attachment through outlook and cleaning up the email to a completely different letter. And yes, it is possible in 2022 to modify attachments sent through email AFTER they are sent. But as stated any official letter from corporate should NOT be an email live attachment that can be modified AFTER it is sent.

f you're moving out of seas, I IMPLORE YOU TO NEVER USE THIS COMPANY. The crew destroyed treasured belongings and the manger, Anthony Johnson held zero accountability or a response when my family and I voiced our heartbreak and concerns. Instead, all we got back was a message from the reimbursement company so now I am implied to give this review about the San Diego Ace Relocation Systems. Due to Covid, my husband and I had to step in & out of the apartment when the company sent at least 9 people to pack our belongings in our two bed, one bath apartment and I CANNOT stress enough how TERRIBLY THEY "PACKED" OUR BELONGINGS. The crew that packed our belongings threw glass (a coffee pot) on top of my fridge pictures, tupperware and various items in my kitchen causing me to cut my hand open upon opening the "crate" that they call boxes. It is just a paper that they throw your items into, bag them and tape it up like a gift wrap. However, they still record it as a crate in your invoice. We have had over $1500-$2,000 in damages because of the crew members who packed our belongings. My wedding dress, my husbands Airforce Service Dress were all abruptly thrown into a box and now they are ruined from being crumbled and the mildew that accumulated in storage. My wedding tiara is also completely bent and unusable. Whoever packed the kitchen also took it upon themselves to shove spices/seasonings, hospital prescribed ibuprofen and epsom salt into the paper wrapping with my Tupperware and as a result, all of my items are bent and covered with all kinds of substances. My pictures frames are bent, two broken, and even my dog of 13 years who recently passed away had her paw molds and old collars thrown into the bottom of wrapping paper with a handmade dream catcher, that is now bent. The items in my bedroom were also thrown into paper and wrapped and jammed together and now bent. My jewelry stand that my wedding tiara was also thrown in and damaged WITH my tiara that was well over $100. My husbands $700 desktop was never even wrapped throughout its shipment and is completely broken. Even his motorcycle helmet is badly scratched. Our main coffee table was disassembled and the parts to reassemble were not given or packed. Two of my lampshades were bent and disfigured. When unpacking the kitchen dishware and other fragile items, our heavy 5lb cast iron skillet was placed haphazardly on the top of all of our fragile items (glass dishes and fragile apothecary jars). Our sharp kitchen knives were thrown in the box with our dishes without any proper labeling. This type of carelessness also resulted in bodily damage, which I have reluctantly recorded at the time that it happened. I would also like to point out that the Packing Inventory states that there were 48 "cartons." I numbered each BOX that we received and counted 20 BOXES. That means 28 of our items listed "cartons" were discarded into paper, wrapped and taped together which resulted in numerous damages as well as bodily damage, which I would like to point out once again. The packing paper is also pictured which reached the top of the ceiling in my house, further concluding that our items were wrapped in PAPER. My family and I have several damages to our items and after going two months without our stuff, we were heartbroken and distraught to discover our stuff treated the way that that they were. I voiced every one of these concerns, word for word with Anthony Johnson and never got a reply so I'd like the public to know what you're getting with his staff. Here is a link of the damages and mistreatment of mine and my families belongings for those who have highly valued and irreplaceable (signed posters, handmade arts & crafts) items. If you and your family have irreplaceable items, I strongly urge you to give this link a look and see how they treated us and ask why they would allow this with zero accountability from management and/or staff. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1STwikNxKWpWmJjmuz0Qdgkbd7xc505PA

I have been a customer of this company for almost 30 years, paying a monthly charge of over 100$ for my deceased mother’s possessions for storage. I am 75 years of age, and for the past year, have been harassed for non-payment of old bills. I have sent the cancelled checks I have been able to locate, and have offered a settlement. All regular monthly bills are current. No negotiations have been offered. This company’s customer service is deplorable, and woe to anyone who has a dispute, they are unwilling to negotiate.
