Critical: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value Stay away! They gave us a bill which we signed before moving, after the move was done they sent us a bill that we owe 9,000$ for stuff we never approved. After we talked to someone, they sent a new bill with different charges. It's been 6 months of this ongoing problem and they won't solve it. Time to get our lawyer involved!

I had a terrible experience, Federal Warehouse/Allied International managed my move from Peoria (IL) to Italy for a job relocation. The moving crew that was sent to my apartment had total lack of professionality: the movers were not wearing masks, they used my restroom, they were 7 people packing and moving stuff in & out of my apartment, making me impossible to follow what they were doing. For some items they used dirty blankets instead of plastic wrap and carton boxes.
The result of all this is that 18 items resulted to be damaged at the delivery and 1 item missing, a Yamaha saxophone that the insurance didn't reimbursed because was not explicitly listed in the shipping doc, which I suspect has been done in purpose by a member of the crew in order to stole it. I don't have proof of that but I know I use to have a saxophone that I don't have anymore and none one will pay for that. Totally disappointed, I strongly suggest you to change moving company. Terrible, terrible.

Do not use!l this company! We had a horrible experience with this moving company. Many pieces of furniture were damaged during our June 2020 moved. I emailed and called Brenda Rayfield the claims analyst and our sales contact every few weeks for over a year. It took until spring of this year to get any compensation, which did not cover the full cost of repairs and the most expensive piece that they damaged, so badly it was unrepairable they refused to cover at all.
They stated it was damaged before the move which was completely untrue and can be clearly seen in great condition in our home sale photos. I have attempted to dispute this with the company for months, but they will not return emails or phone calls. I rarely leave negative reviews, but gave this company over a year to correct the situation and they won't even respond to my emails.

We were researching companies to make our out of state. I contacted a few companies and after interviewing a few we went with Allied Federal co. I couldn't have been any happier. They came at the scheduled pick up time and the team worked diligently through the entire day to ensure my items were packed in the moving truck securely. The company then stored our items for 90 days until we took possession of our new home.
They worked with me in scheduling and arranging my delivery. They showed up right on time as planned. All of my items were accounted for and we couldn't have picked a better company to help us through this most stressful move. Huge help from Ellen (moving coordinator), Mike (warehouse manager) and Shane (driver). They were FANTASTIC!

I have had moving companies move us approximately 5 times in the past for a company I worked for (company paid for moves). However, this time I had to pay my own way so chose Federal Companies for our move because they had the cheapest price. We moved from the St. Louis area to Reading, PA and the experience was excellent. The packers did an excellent job, guys loading took extra care so furniture was protected, the driver couldn't have been better with communication, and unloaders in PA we absolutely fantastic. We had no breakage and everything is accounted for. Thank you, Federal Companies!
