We have used Allen's moving and storage for several moves. Four moves within Augusta and Hallowell and one out of State move. Also used their storage facility. They do a great job with packing, nothing was broken. Workers are friendly and professional, get the job done. Highly recommended.

I had nothing but a positive experience with this company for my move in December. Moving in the winter definitely has its challenges but from the very reasonable quote, ( which never changed) to the three men who hustled, advised, took great care with my belongings, and even l gave me some of their packing supplies when I ran out, things went off without a hitch. Joe, Al, and Darren were simply amazing to work with!! I highly recommend.

Do not trust this company!! This is a continuation of the terrible experience Emilie G. wrote about in her previous review. Customer service responded to her review that Lisa was working with us to resolve the issues with the move. That is a lie. It was not until after the movers delivered our belongings and we were forced to pay the remaining balance that we received an itemized invoice for the entire move via email. After reviewing the invoice, we found over $400 in charges for things we did not use. We were billed for materials that we provided and the move time was significantly overestimated

If you plan to use Allen's Transfer & Storage for your next move, I'd like to offer a word of caution. Pay close attention to the quote you receive or make it simple - go somewhere else. We requested a quote from Jon Carr to have most of the large household items and furniture moved from our old home to storage and then moved from storage to our new residence. We were quoted $1,988.
What we did not realize at the time was that this was only the cost to move our items and store them for one month. The quote did not include an estimate for the cost to deliver our goods; a point that

My experience with Allen S has been terrible. We moved from Maine to Florida and they did most of the packing and kept our stuff in the storage until we could find a home in FL. When we did, they made us wait for weeks before we could have our moving delivered, as they were always waiting for other stuff to fill the truck. So we had to live in our new house with almost nothing! The worst part came when we received our goods. Many things were broken, some damaged, others completely destroyed. It was clearly the result of a bad job in packing and a worst one in storing and moving our stuff. It looked

Jon Car was my contact with Allen Transfer for a move from Maine to Michigan. He was prompt, courteous, friendly, forthright about services and charges, responsive to questions and accurate with estimates and quotes!
Moving is not fun, but Jon made it as pleasant as possible. If I were making the move again, he would be the first and only person I would call! My furnishings arrived in good condition with next to no damage - less than if I had moved it myself. The loaders and unloaders were prompt, professional, and helpful. This was not my first move, but was the best I have experienced.
