If I could I would give them a zero, our stuff was in storage 2 months and we were charged for 3 months, and they were 4 days late with delivery. We paid extra for insurance, and had a lot of damage and broken stuff that they said was not their fault. They packed a gallon of opened paint in one box, which broke the items in the wardrobe box and refused to cover the damage. Their employee was vaping and videoing in my house, during COVID. They don't return your phone calls, they are dishonest in their documentation of your items and they say all your furniture is old and worn out etc when

The absolute worst experience! I have moved many times- across states. This was a heartbreaking experience. The movers broke antiques, dropped boxes, failed to load the truck properly and seemed clueless. But worse yet I cannot get the company to pay for the damage - or even call me back. Pitiful. Unprofessional. Disgusting. Sad, but it seems I will have to file in court to get any resolution.

Positive: Professionalism, Responsiveness, Value
I've not yet moved so my experience to date is only with the estimating and scheduling processes. I received estimates from several sources and Carey's (Allied's) was by far the most professional, and the least expensive. My interaction with the office staff has also been flawless, so I have no concerns about my upcoming move.

I have used Carey Moving and Storage 3 times over the last 5 years, so I believe I speak from a place of experience. The first two moves went smoothly, but the 3rd made me aware of how little regard Carey has for customer loyalty, satisfaction, and inconvenience.
1) Loaded my belongings on a truck they knew had problems.
2) Didn't notify me of any trouble or delay on moving day until 2:30 pm after we are 7 hours into our interstate move, even though they took the truck to the shop without telling me of a possible problem/delay.
3) When I pressed them to change trucks or improvise, overcome,

I was thoroughly impressed with the entire company. From my first contact with Ronnie, who came to give me a quote,, to the drivers (George & Kelly) and their crew. They were professional, hardworking and genuinely cared about my possessions. From start to finish, they made the whole process a pleasant one. I highly recommend them. They will exceed your expectations!

Pick up was perfect. That's the only good thing about this place. I had lots of broken glass despite the fact I wrote glass, fragile and put fragile stickers all over the boxes. The boxes were crushed. I'm really disappointed by this. Plus the guys were about to leave and they forgot two chairs. I had to stop them when I realized they were missing to get them. The next day they called and said they forget two more chairs and my box of shoes. They said they'd buy the chairs and mail me my shoes. What a sad job. The guys were really nice, but really slack.

This was a short move of approximately 30 miles. My husband and I moved everything ourselves save for 5 large items that would not fit into our SUV. Carey Moving & Storage damaged every single one of those five items. Bed frame dented, paint scraped off legs of dresser, glass door shattered on cabinet, mattress set down in mud, legs of couch missing foot pedestals. All of these items were brand new without a scratch on them prior to this move. Now they are ruined. Carey refunded $312 which they claim is the most they are required to refund at 60 cents per pound. The dresser alone was

Please read this review BEFORE you think about hiring Carey!!
I had gotten an estimate about a month or so before we were to move and I had 2 orders shipping to Florida and one was to be held in the warehouse until at such time, my mother moved and I would pay for storage until that time which we did.
So the movers came to the house and I needed them to pack as well as load. They wrapped and packed dishes however, I didnt know they weren't putting paper in the bottom of boxes for padding.
Also, my Christmas ornaments and elves, antique Angel's and even a 4cfoot Christmas tree

DO NOT HIRE THIS COMPANY! One star is way too generous! We had heirloom antiques damaged before they even got them out of our home. The workers stole the little food we had in the house, stole paper towels to use in bathrooms that had been closed and sanitized, begged for food, left garbage everywhere. And that was the beginning of our nightmare! We received our belongings in two shipments. This required a change of date for one flight and then another flight to receive the second shipment. This first shipment arrived without a bill of lading. MANY items missing, too many heirlooms damaged beyond

Before using Carey, please read this review.
The company assured us that they had excellent customer service and would support us throughout the move.
To start, the packers took off without completing the packing. Everything was left to the shippers.
Their truck leaked oil all over our driveway and the road leaving our house.
No follow up from anyone at Carey.
We arrived at our new home and the truck arrived four days after their absolute latest arrival date.
When it arrived, we were faced with what those incompetent packers had done: literally thousands in dry cleaning and clothing bills

This group had trouble following through with the correct contact. Even though we were moving furniture FROM my parents to my home and I was the contact they kept calling my parents. They are elderly and it was all very confusing for them. When we did finally get the furniture and other miscellaneous items--several things were broken and scratched up.
With the lack of care to the move, I can only imagine how the claim process will go!

The crew from Carey came to my apartment today to partially pack and move me. From the very get go it was obvious to me that I was dealing with four gentlemen who would do their best. They did not disappoint me. They were pleasant, hardworking, careful and professional as they moved my furniture which means so much to me. I wish I could remember all of their names, as they did introduce themselves, but the only name I can remember is Jimmy who was the leader of the crew. Thanks a bunch guys! James Curley

Consumer beware! We have moved alot, including 4 times in last 6 yrs. Never a bad move until this last one! We contracted with Carey Moving and Storage in Greer. Intrastate move to include full packing and insurance. They did 2 detailed in home inventory estimates , last one 10 days before move. They left half the packing undone stating they did not have enough staff to send. We cancelled our weekend plans and packed ourselves before the truck came on Monday! At our destination they upcharged us 25% more (several thousand dollars) and refused to move our household in until we paid. The driver had

Lied said Dad's things would go straight through with no stops. Then they contracted another company to do it. Three different companies involved and they all pass the buck to the other and you go in circles and can't get any results. They had North American Van lines pickup my stuff and they refused to load a table that I had hired them to move in the First place. Then they lied and said that the friend I had coordinating things told them not to take it. They refused to bring it.

No! No! No! Pick someone, ANYONE else! We hired movers so I didn't have to lift our furniture, but ended up carrying just as much as they did! While I was packing other items our UNWRAPPED wooden furniture was placed directly on the concrete with no barrier. Multiple scratches and corners ground down on our best stuff. I never got our claims form. Our refrigerator was dropped from the hand truck, we won't know if it works for another few months when our house is ready. The crew was uncertain on how to lift, move, and pack our items. They moved slowly and the office staff was RUDE

Used Carey last year for a move to New York from Asheville. They destroyed our office desk. Refused to pay for it because part of the desk was particle board. Scratched up an antique radio, antique bed, antique dining table, and antique desk. Refused to pay saying there was no proof it happened during the move. We recently realized that a family heirloom was missing when we had thought it was in our storage unit with the majority of our belongings from the move. It had no material value, just sentimental value. Gave us the run-around about not having the paperwork to track down the other people

These people are the worst. It has taken nearly a year to resolve our issues and not to our satisfaction. Our move was a turn key pack, ship and unload. The crew showed up late and then from there some of the crew left for another moving job not even half way through the packing. Then our belongings show up damaged, moldy because there was a hole in the roof of the trailer that our belongings were stored in. The damage and destruction I speak of is separate from the black mold. Our belongings were in I guess a trailer for 45 days. The sheer volume of damage was unreal. With that said I

Their packers were efficient and did the whole house in 1 day. The next day our belongings were loaded into a 53 ft van for the trip to CA, along with 1 car. There was another small load carried on the same van and dropped off first in CA. The unloading was also efficient. One old HS drafting table was missing, for which we received a check promptly. However, to a car in pristine condition, there was much much damage to the front bumper paint and later additional deep gouges were found on the lower edge of the driver's side rocker panel, possibly from scraping on the ramp coming up/down.
