The estimated quote and weight was exact!! The truck was on time with excellent movers. Very professional. The truck delivered our things in a few days in another state. The movers that unloaded the truck were fantastic. The staff at allied were reachable and communicated with every step.

Moving can be very stressful, but every point of contact was spot-on… the sales rep, the truck driver, and the physical movers were so very helpful. They asked questions to clarify and provided great answers to my questions throughout the process. There were no surprises to deal with along the way. So appreciate everyone involved with my move. Would definitely use them again and recommend to friends and family.

Allied in Milwaukee did a very nice job throughout the whole move process - quoting, pickup at origin (Milwaukee) and delivery at destination (San Francisco Bay Area). Very professional and set proper expectations on timing and cost. I had to follow-up a few times for payment and the delivery team was super helpful but it was a bit chaotic checking off all the items. All in all though I would highly recommend this firm to anyone looking for a long haul mover.

Very good service. Pretty upfront about everything. Joe, our driver, and his crew were really speedy and professional. They handled our stuff with extreme care.

The whole experience exceeded my expectations. Our driver and his crew couldn’t have been better.

The Coakley Brothers movers in Milwaukee showed care when packing, loading and unloading our household goods. However, their price was increased about 12% from the original quote with no real explanation. In addition, they lost a large rug and a few smaller items while in storage.The Allied over-the-road semi delivery driver and the unloading crew were fabulous. They were prompt, courteous and showed true care with our items, and truly wanted us to be satisfied! We certainly would recommend Allied as a long distance moving company!

I could not have been happier with my move from Milwaukee, Wisconsin to Austin, Texas. Coakley brothers (Allied's agent) came in and packed everything in under four hours; a feat that would have taken me weeks to accomplish. Well worth the price! My belongings were handled a lot because the driver assigned to my load could not be there at my home for loading. So first, everything was loaded into a local van and two days later was transferred to the driver's trailer. Upon arrival in Austin, the driver had to rent a small moving truck to be able to get into my apartment complex, therefore moving my belongings again. And finally moving everything into my new home. Thanks, Mario! You're the best! I have now unpacked everything and the only casualty was a shelf made of pressed particle board. Hardly a loss. I would recommend Allied Van Lines to anyone needing moving services.

I took a chance with Coakley Brothers and Allied on a cross country move. They were not the lowest quote by far but the salesperson gained my trust. Based on many previous moves I was very clear that I wanted more than one person moving my furniture. The load team arrived on time, very professional and there were 4 people. Before delivering to my new home (one schedule) the driver called and told me he would be the only mover. He was very nice and was trying hard. It was not even reasonable that he could move my furniture alone. I arranged for a family friend to come help, so the driver, my friend and I unloaded the truck. The driver was very apologetic. I’ve contacted Coakley Brothers twice now requesting a 10% refund, which seems more than reasonable given the situation. They have not responded. Perhaps this poor review will prompt a professional response. Not recommending Allied or Coakley Brothers at this time.

Allied Milwaukee sent a sales rep who gave me a quick estimate and tips on packing things up. They made follow up calls to insure we were both on the same page for pickup and delivery dates. Driver and helpers were quick and courteous. Would definitely recommend them!

Sebastian and crew were excellent. They took good care of our things and were interactive with the little ones during the move. We were given a price estimate with a guarantee, which came into play. No financial surprises, which may happen with other movers. Overall, I’d highly recommend these movers!

They damaged our 18th century tall clock. They were specifically told to crate it. They did not and the works are damaged. It's going to cost a fortune to repair if I can even find someone who knows how to repair it. They banged up and chipped the entire front of my dresser. We will see how they do with the insurance claim. If they give me any grief we'll see them in court.

Used Coakley Brothers for a cross-country move. Terrible experience. Lies and made-up charges. Used Schroeder Moving (also in Milwaukee area) for a second cross-country move and was very satisfied. Schroeder is an honest and professional organization. Highly recommend them over Coakley.

We used Coakley for a move from Milwaukee to Chicago. We've moved 13+ times in the last 20+ years due to job transfers so I consider myself an expert on the topic. There's been some really bad ones and some decent ones but this one was seriously the absolute best. Everything went smoothly from the initial meeting and estimate with Brett, coordinating the actual move with Vanessa, and the actual load and unload with Mark and his crew. I packed about 90% of everything myself, I left larger items (TVs, lamps, mirrors, etc,) to the crew and they packed it all like it was fine china. Furniture was carefully wrapped and made it unscathed. Crew arrived on time for both the load and unload and Mark kept in touch. Both crews were fast and personable, we've had issues in the past with nasty and inexperienced local day labor hired by movers. The charges were as expected. Interstate moves are expensive no matter what but I don't feel we overpaid for the service we got. I had a few cheaper quotes but I just didn't feel comfortable with those companies, especially the ones who priced with just a list of items. I hope to not have to move again but if I do, I'd definitely use Coakley Brothers again.
