WARNING: Terrible Value, Hidden Fees, and "Lowball" Scams (Job # 5470123)
Do not use Amerisafe Moving. If you are looking for good value and reliable service quality, you will absolutely not find it here. I have since learned that moving brokers operating like this often change their names to outrun bad reviews, so beware of their exact tactics!
They intentionally lowball your initial estimate to get you hooked, even throwing in a fake "senior discount" to get you to sign. During the sales process, they refused to do an on-site or virtual walkthrough, and they deliberately didn't take down the exact dimensions of my boxes, crates, or furniture. This was a complete setup.
Here is exactly how their bait-and-switch works:
▪ **The Under $10k Hook: The initial sales rep deliberately lowballed the volume of the storage units just to keep the my quote under the original $10,000 (for that senior discount).
▪ **The $16k Reality Check: During their "Quality Assurance" review right before the move, my quote magically skyrocketed to $16,000 "because the storage unit wasn't calculated correctly".
▪ **The $20k+ Moving Day Trap: because Amerisafe completely ignored the actual dimensions of my items, their volume estimate was physically impossible. Had I kept the storage unit on the contract, they wouldn't have been able to fit everything, and the final cost would have easily exceeded $20,000 on moving day. (Ironically, the actual third-party movers who showed up were accurate in their walk-through volume - proving Amerisafe deliberately lied on the front end to trap me).
▪ The Rate Trick: To bring the cost back down prior to moving day, I removed the storage unit from my move. Because they lost that portion of the sale, they secretly raised my rate per cubic foot—leaving me stuck with a massive bill anyway.
▪ Endless Hidden Fees: Once booked, they hit you with undisclosed charges for packing materials, long-carry fees, and hidden insurance costs that wipe out any "discount."
The actual quality of their service does not justify this predatory pricing. Save your money, protect your belongings, and only hire an honest, local movers who actually does a visual walkthrough before giving you a binding estimate!
