Moving Services of America

Google the address 3191 Del Webb Ave NE Salem, Oregon 97301 & you will find it is a storage company called Self-Stor. I called & they said they have not affiliation with Moving Services of America. Also, if you call the Department of Transportation (DOT) hotline at 1-888-368-7238 you will find that Moving Services of America is not licensed! They WERE a licensed company (DOT #1462677) operating under the name Allstate Relocation Van Lines and had THEIR LICENSE REVOKED in April of 2011. This company is super shady! They post fake positive reviews (notice that EVERY review has 5 stars, and many reviews are recycled) to try to bring in unsuspecting customers. If you do a google search on this company you will find they have multiple locations, but each location is just another storage company that has never heard of them. This company ripped my husband and I off, they delivered our stuff a month late, boxes were missing, and they lied to us about how much our belongings weighed. I didnt know they were so shady until it was too late because believed these fake reviews!! Please Protect yourself! Do your homework and check on their DOT#. more

MOVING SERVICES OF AMERICA - IS A SCAM!!!!!! Recently used this company so please stay away very far away – Trust Me! This is how the scam works: Sherry Clark/Sherry Murphy or Nicole will give you call you to go over how everything works and then send you a decently priced moving quote (mine was $1,897.50 for 2,500 pounds and $0.69 per pound over) via email and tell you that they will deliver your belongings to their new destination within a 2 week window. They will ask for a $250 refundable credit card down payment and set-up your move date. They are very nice and easy to work with. Movers (Tony/Carlos) will come to your place on your move date and will be very friendly and pack your belongings carefully and efficiently. They will come in a rented Penske truck and fill out an itemization sheet of your belongings. They will also ask for another credit card payment which of about half of your original moving quote which in my case was $950. They are very nice and assure you will get your stuff moved quickly and in perfect condition. They have you sign a mickey mouse contract and off they go with all your stuff. This is where the scam begins! The movers are supposed to contact you the next day with the weight of your shipment, but the call never comes. You try calling the company, but all you get are answering machines and nobody calls you back. You start to get nervous! Finally we got one of the movers on the phone and the first thing they tell you is our shipment is 2,060 pounds over-weight and you will another $1,421 above the original quote at delivery. We only had 61 items so for the weight to be correct that would mean the average weight of each item is about 75 pounds which you realize is almost impossible. Tony the mover even assured us he weighed our shipment 3 times! It gets worse from here! Weeks go bye and you realize that your belongings are not really being moved, but are really being held in storage somewhere, but you don’t know where. You realize that all their company addresses a more

Avoid this company! They are serial scammers, operating under at least 3 previous names and stealing people blind under all of them. Google Transamerica Moving Incorporated, Allstate Relocation Systems, and Transamerica Moving & Storage to get an idea of what they have been up to. Look closely at the addresses. Every one is fake - either doesn't exist at all or is occupied by people with no association with Moving Services of America. Every positive review is seeded by their own shills. Stay away! more

They were on time which was a huge plus in my book because we planned our moving day around that. They were fast and efficient. . They set up everything where I wanted it and were extremely pleasant to work with. Thanks Moving Services of America. more

A friend referred me to Moving Services of America and I am grateful for that. It was not my first time moving and probably not the last. These guys were nice, honest, professional and much better than any other movers I've used this far. I am definitely going to use them the next time I move. Cheers. more

What a great company!!! Their prices are probably the best I have seen. They made numerous stops to pick up a couch for me and also my friend's stuff along the way to our new place and I think most movers would be complaining and charging you extra but they did not. Highly recommend Moving Services of America and will surely use them for my next move. more

They did not know the word no. They worked efficiently and happily. There was no damage done to any of our furniture and we kept our sense of mind. more

I had the great pleasure of meeting the guys this past Friday, and they did a fantastic job moving me from my rental house to my new house. They showed up on time, were extremely professional and courteous, and they were very careful with my items that were being moved. I've used Moving Services of America in the past and have recommended them to many friends. Thanks for the great experience guys! more
