My one word of advise would be to carefully watch and monitor the pack up and unpack process for when you get your final bill. I felt my bill (which they knew was being paid by a top notch insurance company ) seemed quite inflated.

They may be reasonable in price but we had a really bad experience with this company. I'm shocked they are affiliated with such a reputable company like Allied Van Lines. We had to store our items in the truck at their facility for 5 days. The day of the move in, we realized that a lot of valuable things went missing. Power tools, TV, kitchen appliances, jewelry cabinet, etc. They say their facility is gated, secure and locked down but it is not.
I went and parked in their lot to find employees driving their personal vehicles in and out of the building. Strange isn't it? I happen to get one of the movers cell phone number (he paints on the side) and he told me when they brought the van in, he told the owner that the lock on the truck was broken.

Worst moving company. After getting in touch with them through Allied and talking to an agent for a month and agreeing on terms, I found out recently that not only does that agent not work but the terms that we had agreed on are not honored by the company. Now, I'm struggling to get a mover last minute.

Please Read This Before Hiring This Mover! I contracted JD Carton to manage the move from my home in Staten Island NY to my new home in Bellmore NY. Due to the timing of the closing date for my new home, it was necessary to put my belongings in storage for a period of approximately one month. The first phase of the move occurred on June 27, when all of my belongings were picked up from my old home on Staten Island.
All items appeared to be tagged and inventoried as they were being put on the truck to be moved to their storage facility. I arranged for the second phase of the move to Bellmore NY for July 25. When the items were being removed from the truck, no one was checking off the items versus the orignal inventory. Then I began noticing many boxes coming off the truck that were completely mutilated and re-taped.
Several rather expensive items were heavily damaged, and many more were completely missing. I reported this to the company and given some claim forms to fill out. No one seems interested in resolving this matter and once I reported this to the Better Business Bureau, no one will even return my calls anymore.

Never use this company! I contracted them through Allied Van Lines, and they gave me a Total Price Guarantee move contract. However after they moved my belongings they charged me more than double (over $3300. more) than my contracted price and didnt even have the decency to contact me or tell me! They just charged my card. I've been disputing this for months and this company has actually falsified documents with my signature on them! Very poor business practices, no communication, and Illegal charges. Never Ever use this company! and Never ever give them your credit card number. Jut outrageous.

I did a very local move in the same town with J.D. Carton and was very impressed with 4 guys who did my move. I moved few times before and had few really bad experiences, so I was a little nervous. But everything went well. The movers were extremely professional and worked 10 hours straight, taking only 15 minutes for lunch. I only needed to move furniture and didn't need them to pack a lot of small items. But whatever needed to be packed was packed and they didn't charge me for packing material wich was a nice surprise. Definitely would recommend them.
