Service Offerings

Meeting your specific needs, not ours … guaranteed.

Allied’s Personal Moving Plan allows you to tailor your move to use as many of our packing options and additional service offerings as suits your time and budget. Your Relocation Consultant will help you put together the Personal Moving Plan that’s right for you.

Packing Options

Full Service Packing – All items in your home are packed by our experts using the most up-to-date packing methods and materials in the industry.

Fragile Packing – You define your breakable or high-value items such as dishes, glassware, artwork, fragile furniture, mirrors, etc. We professionally pack them with care, and you pack all other belongings.

Do It Yourself Packing – Allied can provide boxes and materials to make your job as easy as possible.

Basic Services

Loading – Each of your belongings is labeled, inventoried, and loaded in a systematic process. Additionally, all upholstered furniture is wrapped in Stretchwrap, a strong, clear plastic that completely covers the furniture, protecting it from dirt and damage.

Transportation – All of our trailers are equipped with airride suspension systems to ensure the contents travel in the safest manner possible. All trucks are driven by professionals with the best training in the industry.

Unloading – Upon arrival, all items are inventoried as they are unloaded. When unloading, furniture, boxes, and other belongings are placed in the rooms you designate. Assembly of beds, bookcases and other furniture is available upon request. Additionally, we protect your new home by using several types of floor runners to prevent stains or scratches on carpet and wood flooring.

Additional Services Available

Unpacking – Boxes are opened and contents are removed and placed on a flat surface for you to put away at your discretion later on. If desired, Allied will provide any further placement needs. Boxes and packing material removal is included within this optional service.

Crating – High-value items such as artwork, electronic equipment, or delicate collectibles may need some added attention. Consider custom crating to protect fragile or non-standard sized belongings.

Cars/Boats – Transporting larger items such as cars and boats can be included in your move. Depending on size, the items will be protected and placed in the truck with the rest of your belongings, or loaded on another vehicle if necessary.

Assembly/Disassembly – We can help with disassembly of furniture, swingsets, etc., prior to your move or re-assembly upon arrival at your new home.

Third Party Services – Upon request, third party services such as appliance connect/disconnect, pool or hot tub disassembly/assembly, and cleaning services can be arranged for you.

Shuttle Services – If access to your home is difficult because of a narrow driveway or obstruction, Allied will provide a small truck to transport your belongings from your old home to the moving van or from the moving van to your new home.

Storage – If you anticipate a lag between move out and move in, Allied offers storage-in-transit for your belongs for up to 90 days in a secure warehouse environment. After 90 days, goods are transferred to permanent storage.

Other services not included here may be available. Just ask your personal relocation consultant before your quote is completed.
