Office staff (Jennifer) was very professional, patient with my many questions and easily contacted by email, text or phone call. Moving team (Lazaro) was very knowledgeable, experienced, intent on making sure everything was handled properly and very attentive to detail with re-doing the contract and pricing due to unforeseen changes we decided to make. I have not yet contacted them for delivery, but I have no doubt that this phase will go just as smoothly. Definitely would recommend American Knights Moving & Storage, Inc.

This company scammed me out of my deposit by demanding a waiver the day of pickup when they show up after you sign the deposit waiver meaning you lose the deposit they came up with a ton of out of contract bizarre charges I never saw before In a moving company. I've move to Alaska to Hawaii to many other states and shipped vehicles but never encountered an outright scam like this reporting to bbb DO NOT HIRE THEM THEY WILL SCAM YOU also at drop off by charging a 500 dollar shuttle fee.

I am disappointed. I inherited a midcentury modern couch and a Haywood Wakefield bedroom set from my parents, which is very special to me. It was their first furniture set, bought in 1956. I needed to move them from Louisiana to California. My sister recommended American Knights Moving (AKM). Unfortunately, I did not do much research. Their website said they were not a broker and owned a truck fleet. Their pictures on Google showed two men in AKM shirts carrying a mattress into an AKM truck via a ramp. If I had done the research, I would have discovered that AKM earned an F rating from the Better Business Bureau. With a consumer alert because they require any negative reviews to be removed before they pay a claim. If I had done the research, I would have discovered that many claims, including deceptive business practices, had been filed with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration against AKM. The pickup went flawlessly. Four movers showed up, expertly wrapping and protecting the furniture. They then loaded it into an American Knights' truck without a hitch. The problem began at the delivery. The furniture had to be moved to the basement via a set of stairs with a 90-degree turn through an entryway with a ceiling height of only 6 feet 9 inches. By the way, the couch is almost 9 feet long, and the dresser, I would guess, weighs over 300 lbs. An 18-wheeler from a moving company other than AKM showed up for delivery. There was only one person in the truck, the driver. I asked him where his help was. He said he was alone. I could not believe that American Knights would send someone alone for delivery when four movers were sent for pickup. After some back-and-forth conversation about the delivery, I figured I did not have much choice. I gave him the money. He then opened the truck door. I could see that the dresser had no protection on. What had happened to all the blankets that were wrapped and taped nicely around it? I asked the driver about this. He said he had to unwrap the dresser and take the drawers out because it was too heavy to load by himself. The dresser had been damaged, scratched on top and one side. The damage was not caused by an accident while the mover was careful, but by negligence, moving it unprotected and leaving it unprotected. I said, "Don't they give you help?" He said that he has to do deliveries alone. He halfway wrapped the dresser back up, threw some folded packing blankets on the ground in front of the trailer door opening, and pushed the dresser to the edge. I said, Hey, what are you doing It looked to me like he was preparing to drop the dresser onto the packing blankets, about a four-foot drop. Where is the ramp like in the pictures? I thought. He looked at me and said nothing. I said, I am not going to let you drop that thing down. You will destroy it. He said, Dont worry, I got it. At that moment, I was in a panic. I felt as though the drivers only goal was to get the furniture down in the basement, no matter what its condition was in the end, if it was delivered as a pile of sticks, job done. I ran over to the truck, put my hand on the dresser, and said, I will help you lower this thing.I did. I helped him move all the furniture, ensuring each piece stayed safe. I helped him move the couch, which was a struggle for the two of us. In the end, a piece of custom-cut glass for the night stand was missing, the dresser was damaged, and the dolly damaged one of the steps to the basement. I feel like I got baited with a white glove professional moving company, then switched to a one-man show. I asked for a partial refund of the delivery. They refused because the driver said he did not need help, but AKM wrote the driver up because he should have had help. They offered me $100 for the steps and around $180 for the dresser. I have an estimate to ...

I wanna think Kobi the owner of the company for an amazing service and great staff that made all my packing and moving, smooth, easy and pleasant. I donâ  t know how I wouldâ  ve done that without them, they took care of everything with white gloves and care, itâ  s not that every day you find a loyal company that can handle all your personal items like if it was theirs, thank you so much for being there for me and providing such an amazing service

We loaded the day of an ice storm, aided by flashlight and cell phone lights (no electricity) because the company would not reschedule. They also refused to put the driver and crew in a hotel overnight, requiring them to continue to work in the dark and then make the return drive from Austin to Houston in the ice storm and ridiculously high risk conditions. As a result, we packed and loaded what we could, but everything marked to pack and move actually made it in the truck. The crew was wonderful. However, I ?m still angry. Sadly, I would NEVER hire the company again. I had to prepay; they moved only 80% of what was to be moved; and customer service did not return my calls: 1) request for an adjustment; and 2) three items missing at delivery. So, bottom line?., Our move remains incomplete. I am in WY; my husband remains in TX. We still have packed boxes and misc. possessions needing to be moved to WY.

"Hello Baris . Thank you for sharing your feedback, Baris. We greatly appreciate your review and the opportunity to address your concerns regarding your move from San Antonio, TX, to Port Orchard, WA. We understand that waiting for your belongings can be a challenging experience, and we'd like to provide some clarity on the situation. As per your contract with American Knights Moving, you opted for a consolidated move with a flexible delivery window of up to 30 business days. We're pleased to note that the delivery was completed exactly on the 30th business day, in line with our contractual agreement. We do recognize that the extended waiting period may not have been ideal for you. To acknowledge this, we offered a $275 discount for the shuttle service, in addition to a further discount of $207.09. In total, American Knights Moving provided you with a compensation of $482.09 in good faith, even though no contractual violations occurred on our part. We apologize for any inconvenience you may have experienced due to the waiting time. It's worth noting that, had you chosen a direct move, your items would have been delivered within 3 to 5 business days from the initial readiness date you provided. We understand that customer preferences vary, and we aim to provide flexible options to accommodate those needs. We are thrilled to hear that you rated our professionalism and pricing highly. Your satisfaction is of paramount importance to us, and we believe we made every effort to ensure your move went as smoothly as possible.

There is not enough space here to insert my complete review, however, using American Knights was a terrible experience which forced us to spend more than two weeks in hotels wasting money and wondering of the whereabouts of all of my family belongings and if we would get them back. It was a very traumatic experience due to the movers. I will never again employ American Knights and I suggest that no one else does either!

Only can leave a 1 star which is too much for this company. They overcharge people, then hire convicts to do work for them so they can pocket more money. I have a broken tv, washer, 20k tool box. Was told they only do 60 cent a pound. That is unacceptable. At the day of delivery they were payed altogether about 18k to bring our stuff in, hook up, these guys did not want to to work because Americans knights only pay them very little while again they get ripped also the customer. This company needs to be shut down before more people get ripped off. Also if you find a positive review its payed one because I will assure you this company will rip you off.

"We apologize for your negative experience with our company and the inconveniences caused during your move. We take customer feedback seriously and appreciate you bringing these concerns to our attention. However, we would like to clarify our procedures regarding damages and claims. Our company has a strict procedure in place for handling damages during the moving process. As per the terms outlined in the contract, it is the customer's responsibility to file a claim based on the selected protection coverage. This claim process allows to review the damages and offer a suitable resolution, including potential compensation. On May 8, 2023, our office provided you with detailed information about the claim process via email at [email protected]. Additionally, our support manager spoke with you on two occasions, May 11 and May 23, 2023, requesting you to share pictures of the damages and suggesting that you file a claim. Regrettably, we did not receive a claim from you, and on June 22, 2023, you posted a one-star review on HomeAdvisor/Angi. However, on June 25, 2023, you sent us an email with a single picture of a scratched chair, requesting at least $3000 in compensation. On June 27, our support manager responded to your email for the third time, reiterating the need for you to complete the claim process. Alternatively, we offered to analyze a list of damages you could provide, upon which we could offer compensation. It is important to note that without purchasing full valuation protection, the amount offered as compensation would be significantly less than the $3000 you requested. To date, August 8, 2023, we have not received any response from you regarding the email we sent. We strongly encourage you to register your claim or provide a comprehensive list of damages, as this will enable to assess the situation and offer a fair resolution based on your coverage. Once again, we apologize for any inconvenience caused, and we are committed to addressing your concerns. Please get in touch with claim department of CSI at your earliest convenience to proceed with the necessary steps to resolve this matter. American Knights Moving."

I had so many issues with this company and it was an incredibly stressful experience. For example, I was supposed to receive a call from the driver 24 to 48 hours in advance of my drop off but this didnâ t happen. Instead, the driver called me on a Sunday morning to tell me he was literally on his way to my house. When I told him that this is not the procedure listed in my contract, he became aggressive and said it wasnâ t his fault that the main office didnâ t call me and he threatened to not make my delivery. And, yes, the drop off was on a Sunday despite the fact that weekend days donâ t count toward the 3-21 day delivery window. He also argued with me about the need for a shuttle because he claimed his truck didnâ t fit in my parking lot. I told him my management office assured me that it would fit. In the end I agreed to the shuttle because he said if the truck didnâ t fit he would charge me a fee, not make the delivery, and had no expectation as to when the delivery could be made. Regarding payment, my contract said that I could pay by money order or cash. The driver said he would only take cash and offered Zelle. This later became an issue because of daily limits on Zelle and the driver called some guy so that he could use this personâ s Venmo account, kind of suspicious. I canceled my plans and sat waiting for the movers because he told me it would be just a couple of hours. But they didnâ t arrive until after 6, I sat waiting for hours. When the truck arrived, it was the driver and three people that appear to have been hired as day labor, not regular employees. Many of my boxes were in horrendous condition, like they had been dropped onto one another. My furniture had so many scratches, dings, and thereâ s a lot of new wobbly legs. My metal file cabinet drawers no longer open. My shreddedâ s collection basket was completely smashed. Glass storage containers were smashed so bad that granules were coming out from the bottom of the box. Boxes were placed upside down and some were completely open. And more. At the end the driver asked if I wanted my furniture unwrapped from the blankets and I told him no. Given how theyâ d treated my stuff, even while in my house, I just wanted them gone. So I had to unwrap my own furniture and deal with nasty moving blankets. I donâ t recommend this company at all. Even prior to this delivery disaster communication with the office became scant after pick up and the first payment. For the most part, I was the one asking for progress reports, they called me independently maybe once. Pay for a pod and fill it yourself or hire people, just anything to avoid this company really.

"Hello Isabel! We truly appreciate you taking the time to express your concerns and experiences thus far, as we know it is a time-consuming task. I understand your concerns based on your HomeAdvisor review. We extend our sincere apologies for the challenges and stress you encountered during your recent relocation with American Knights Moving. We deeply regret the inconveniences you experienced and appreciate you taking the time to share your concerns with us. Firstly, we understand your frustration regarding the lack of communication and the driver untimely contact. This deviation from our standard procedure is unacceptable, and we apologize for the inconvenience it caused you. Regarding the driver's behavior and his insistence on cash payment, we acknowledge the discomfort this caused. We assure you that we have taken immediate action to address this matter internally and reinforce our protocols to ensure that such incidents do not occur in the future. Also we would like to mention that on April 12, we sent you an email from our company outlining the acceptable payment methods, which included cash or a postal money order. We apologize if this information was not adequately communicated during the moving process. We understand your disappointment with the apparent damage and mishandling of your belongings. While we strive to provide utmost care during the moving process, we must clarify that as you packed the items yourself, the quality of the packing falls outside our responsibility as a moving company. Additionally, since your furniture was picked up from a storage unit, we were unable to assess its pre-move condition accurately. Nonetheless, upon careful analysis of your situation and as a gesture of goodwill for the overall poor moving experience you encountered, we have decided to provide you with a reimbursement of $200.00. We hope this gesture reflects our commitment to resolving the matter to your satisfaction and provides you with a better financial value compared to the basic valuation protection you registered for during the moving process. Please note that the basic valuation protection offers coverage of 60 cents per pound per item, which may not fully cover all the damages you have reported. Today, we have also shared the CSI claim process information with you based on the basic valuation protection you selected. While we understand that this coverage may not meet your expectations, we want to ensure that you are aware of the available options. Our reimbursement offer is intended to provide you with a more favorable resolution considering the circumstances. We deeply value your feedback, as it provides us with valuable insights to improve our services. We assure you that we are actively reviewing our procedures and implementing measures to enhance communication, driver conduct, and the overall handling of our customer belongings. Once again, we sincerely apologize for the negative experience you had with American Knights Moving. We hope that our reimbursement offer demonstrates our commitment to addressing your concerns and making amends. If you have any further questions or require additional assistance, please do not hesitate to contact our customer care specialist at 281-345-2695 ext 772 or via email at [email protected]. Thank you for your understanding, and we appreciate your patience and cooperation. Sincerely, American Knights Moving and Storage."

We are having a terrible experience with this company. Short version - We were quoted a cost, told the cost would be 9k, jacked the price up 25% when picking up for THE SAME ITEMS, and failed to meet the 21 business day window. Long version - Prior to the company picking up the items, we were quoted $9k based on what was itemized. Issue #1 - When the movers came to pick the items up (Nov 14th) they stated the items were too big, and we needed to pay an additional $3k (25% more). These were the same things that were itemized and we do not own overly bulky furniture. Because we were moving the next day, we had no choice but to pay them more. Issue #2 - We were told we would receive our items within 21 business days. While this was not ideal (sleeping on air mattresses, eating while sitting on the floor, etc.) we understood and agreed to the terms, thinking the 21 business days (30 total days including Thanksgiving) would be a worst case scenario. I reached out to American Knights (outsourced company) each week to find out the status. Between November 21st and December 13th, I was repeatedly told that the items are not on the truck yet but would be informed when they are. On December 13th, I was told they were putting our items on the truck and would call us when they are on the road. I informed them that they are cutting it close to the deadline and we need our items sooner than later. On December 14th, I contacted them as I had not heard from them and they stated they were still putting our items on the truck, but would be leaving shortly. I reminded them that they are cutting it close in missing the deadline. They assured me that the delivery will be before the deadline and to expect it by Sunday (Dec 18th). Today, the driver contacted my wife and stated they would be there by Wednesday, December 21st. This would be the last day of the period and any delays would put them past the allotted period. Three hours later, they notified my wife that they now will not get there until Friday, December 23rd, past the period. Issue 3 - Compensation. Since our family has been eating on a floor and sleeping on air mattresses while paying $12k and they missed the deadline, I expected a discount on the service. Here is what I was offered: $25 PER DAY! So not receiving my items until at least 45 days from pickup and a bait and switch on the price equates to less than 1% of the purchase in compensation. There is no incentive for them to follow the contract. WORST COMPANY EVER!

This company is in connection with Graceful Movers. I realized afterwards I originally went through a broker that connected me with American Knights. The guy Tyler from with the movers is extremely nice but because I had so many different amounts of money to keep paying throughout the move, I really don't know who actually was responsible for our issues...movers or brokerage company. I do believe that if American Knights Movers were not connected with Graceful Movers they would be an A1 company. Communication is horrible, I'm not sure who's responsible for that and having payment amounts change throughout the move was very unprofessional and once your stuff is ready to be moved and you are scheduled to leave the state the next day, it's sort of hard to say you will find another company. I would just say call them directly and speak with Tyler to get things done.
