Allied VAn Lines moved us from CA to WA. Since we did not have a house in WA, our household goods went into storage with Spaeth Transfer at their warehouse in Bremerton, WA. Our household goods came out of storage and were delivered to us on Nov 7, 2014. We discovered many items damaged by Allied Van Lines during the trip from CA to WA. Allied settled our claim with them quickly. Many other items were damaged while in storage and that claim was submitted to Spaeth. Speath Transfer did not settle, instead they turned our claim over to their adjustor who inspected the damage and came up with the "opinion" that some of the damage was pre-existing, caused by us prior to the move. This was not true, and I was able to show pictures proving damage to the top of a dresser and arm of a sofa was caused by one of their employees who stepped in a black greasy substance while our furniture was in their warehouse and then climbed on top of our cartons and fine cherry wood furniture (this same greasy substance covered two of the cartons they delivered). Dispite this evidence Spaeth still refused to negotiate, stating we caused the damage. We have been forced to pay to go to arbitration to settle the claim. This ordeal began on 11/07/2014 when the furniture was delivered, and has still not been settled as of 6/29/15.
A very negligant employee at Spaeth Transfer left very distinguishable footprints on top of a carton marked "FRAGILE", and on top of a dresser. The bottom of the shoe left a clear mark of the word "JORDAN", and matches the design from an Air Jordan sports shoe, approximately size 10. Neither my wife nor I wear a shoe like this or of this size, and neither of us stepped in the black grease in the Spaeth warehouse and then climbed all over our boxes and furniture before it was delivered. I don't like being called a liar or accused of filing false claims. I also don't like my property being used as a jungle gym. I would recommend people avoid doing business with Spaeth Transfer in Bremerton, WA.
"Spaeth Transfer, Inc. would like to extend our deepest apologies for your moving experience. As you can see from other reviews, it is not the way we try to do business. Your feedback is crucial and we have considered it and will use it in implementing new procedures. Since you opted for an independent arbitration, the process is lengthy and we understand your frustration. We hope that the arbitration is able to resolve the issue to your satisfaction."
I will never move from Washington state again - but if I did, I would not hesitate to call these folks. They were just great!

"It is our policy to do a final walk through with the customer to make sure everything has been loaded prior to leaving the home. Our crew worked 8 hours on Day 1 and 11 hours on Day 2. The move was planned to load and deliver over 2 consecutive days per the customer request due to the access restrictions at destination. Additional charges were incurred with customer approval. An additional man was needed to finish the packing that was originally to be packed by the owner. This move was completed over 6 weeks ago and our office has never been contacted regarding an unfinished move or requesting a claim form for any damages. We always welcome feedback from our customers so we may address any concerns. It is our goal to satisfy the customer."
"Thanks [Member Name Removed]. We always strive to meet our customers needs. We appreciate all feedback and hope that you enjoy your new home."
