Alliance Professional Moving

I’ve used Alliance for three moves. I’ve tried some other moving services, but I always end up back here. They’re not the cheapest; but they are the most careful, hard-​working and honest movers I’ve ever hired. These guys have NEVER damaged any of my paintings, electronics or furniture. I can’t say enough good things about this firm.

I used Alliance for a big job, 11 hours to move stuff into my new home. I will be honest, the first hour, there was a bit of a problem, but as soon as I contacted Jim Furtney, he bent over backwards to make everything right. What a great company to deal with. I wish every company would care so much about their customers. I will definitely use them again the next time I move.

I can’t really say how Alliance performs as a moving company, because we never got our quote. Mr. Furtney spent quite some time with us, assessing our needs and describing the process, but then never sent us a quote. We had been impressed at the beginning.
P. S. After reading this review, Mr. Furtney called to determine where things had gone wrong. Apparently a misunderstanding between us, and he really wants to make things right. I appreciate that.

Very customer oriented moving company with storage facilities as well. I’ve met the owner Jim who was super nice and he and his crew strive to fulfill all your moving and storage needs with care and for a good price. I highly recommend them to anyone who needs a professional moving and/​or storage company.
Very convenient and secure location.

A1 TOP NOTCH SERVICE!
On time, quick, easy, affordable. Id highly recommend to friends and family!

This is a great moving company I had my moving done with them back in 2013. Because their trucks are so large I was able to get all my moving done in one trip, their storage facility is really great as well it’s huge, I added some pictures to this review. The owner is very nice he will sit down and talk with you and make sure all your questions are answered. Also I should mention the price was very competitive with other movies companies in town, very affordable. The building location was very simple to find it is nicely located and easy to find. These check out my photos.

I just moved from Gilbert Az. to South Phoenix and used Alliance Proffessional Moving company. Using moving companies for me is a splurge, but I was juggling a lot and needed help and I had personally met the owner before my move and he is a very kind person and i knew that would translate to the rest of his business.
Sure enough, the movers I got too were very kind and patient. I ask lots of questions and tend to give a few orders, so patience is needed to move me ;-). It wasn’t until they started working that I reallized, there was no way I could have done the move with just a couple of friends. This was in the middle of Summer and the temps were near 110, but the movers worked their butts off. (I kept them hydrated).
I am an artist and I was very concerned about my 3’x4’ paintings as well as my 55: TV, but these guys carefully wrapped each of those items and NOT one thing was damaged.
This was a relief compared to when I had friends help move my refriderator in to the previous house in Gilbert and we damaged my floor.
Alliance movers, however, had to move 2 fridges (old out, new in) as well as washer/​dryer upstairs on wood floors and did a perfect job. Also, one of the fridges is very deep with the handles, and they took the time to remove the door handles that stick out about 3 – 4 inches. They were very maticulous in every thing they did, yet very quick.
I wound up giving them a nice tip and will certainly consider using them in the future.
Also note that you pay the movers by the hour, so I did as much work as I could to save money. I recommend not only doing that, but there’s no reason you can’t still invite friends and family to help to move the small stuff.

Fantastic moving experience. Extremely professional. Hard working, went the extra mile, nothing broken or damaged. Highly recommend!

I’m not sure if I’m writing a review for the same company. The phone number is different and so is the address I was given, but the website is correct… so here I go.
I’ve used these guys twice already. I’ll give you the rundown for both experiences:
As with any moving company, you need to provide accurate info and ask as many questions as possible. These guys are insured, bonded, members of the BBB and came highly recommended by a friend. I contacted them for their rates and surcharges. They gave me their minimums, fuel surcharges, credit card surcharges (illegal, but everyone seems to do it) and labor rates. I received a quote, told them upfront that I was possibly using a CC so they could include that charge and set up a date.
They arrived 15 minutes early. Since I had everything ready to go, they packed up my 2 bedroom apartment into their truck in less than one hour. They drove it to the rental house and had everything unpacked, assembled and cleaned out of the truck in less than 2 hours. I was completely shocked. Nothing was broken. They assembled heavy furniture for me. They helped arrange my other furniture so I didn’t have to move a lot of large items. They arrived at my apartment at 8 am and it wasn’t even noon and they were done. Traveling, unloading, assembling, everything. What they quoted me was damn close to what I paid. I think I paid about $ 20 over, but not bad considering if I had done this myself, it would have taken all day, or even two days to do what they did in just over 3 hours.
So about 18 months later… I found myself in a very difficult situation. Laid off, separated from spouse and had to move from a 3 bedroom house back to a 2 bedroom apartment. I called them again. Got all the rates and such like I did before. Packed everything up and waited for my move date.
They arrived early again. But this time, they kinda lurked around like they were lost inside my house for about 20 minutes. I finally said I wasn’t paying them to admire, I was paying them to MOVE. They moved alright. Once they got going, they had everything in the truck and moved into my apartment in less then 4 hours… again. Loved it. They assembled my bedframes and such again. Although they seemed not as motivated as the first crew, they still did a great job. The only reason why they don’t receive a 5 star rating was the lurking around bit. Again, what I was quoted was very close to what I paid.
I am buying a house and have to be out of my apartment on the 25^th, so they will be moving me again. I will be utilizing their storage services until I close on my home, so I will « Unilocal» again and let you know how I feel about that service.

They are eager to get your business and money, but if you have a problem with their service, suddenly the phones don’t work and no one is available to take your call! I will never use them again.
I called to schedule a move, giving the rep the full details of my home and belongings. He called back with a quote of cost and time needed which was acceptable. But on the day of the move, last-​minute I was informed by the dispatcher that one of the movers (of 3) was not available. Then, when the other 2 movers arrived 30 minutes late, the first thing they asked was «Do you have to move TODAY?». What???
Apparently, the rep who scheduled the appointment had found a previous record of a move I had done with them, and used that old information of home contents and home description, rather than the lengthy data I provided just days before. So the movers were unprepared to move me.
The two movers did the move, but overall it took 2X as long and cost over 50% of the quote. Much of the time was wasted in the movers calling dispatch and being repeatedly promised a 3^rd mover would arrive to help. In fact, over 1.5 hours was no work going on as the first 2 movers waited for the third! And I was charged for this time! And, I was charged overtime since the entire move took 9.5 hours vs. the quoted 4.
I tried repeatedly to contact the rep who took my original call or a manager, but no one was ever in the office, or seemed to know when anyone WOULD be in. In the end, no one ever called me back, after 5 or so calls.
I do not recommend this company to anyone, unless you are looking to waste your time and throw away your money on bad service.
