We had a short move from the downtown apartment to midtown. We chose Moving Services of America in Salem because they were recommended by a friend, and were also the lowest priced we found. These guys were fast, courteous, and did everything possible to protect our stuff. We were shocked that the move was completed so quickly. We had minor damage to our bed, and when I pointed it out for them, they offered to pay the entire cost of the repair, well beyond what we were insured for. The harm was so minor, and really beyond their control, so that I decided to not even pursue it. As we have to move again, we are using Moving Services of America. more

In the morning of the move I had been very nervous. The team of movers was early and the supervisor of the team spoken with me and explained everything to me and when we finished all of the signatures all the boxes were already out of my apartment. The team was extremely fast, efficient and very friendly to suspecting customers much like me. I would recommend Moving Services of America to anyone I understand. more

It was my first move, so naturally I have lot and lots of questions, and all sorts of were answered patiently from the very patient Christi who won my company with the professionalism.

I wanted to drop a note to thank Moving Services of America for the wonderful job they did in moving me. This was the first time I have ever used a moving company and what a pleasant surprise it was.

MOVING SERVICES OF AMERICA - IS A SCAM!!!!!! Recently used this company so please stay away very far away more

After searching for a mover, I came across Moving Services of America. They seem to be one of the top movers in Salem based on the previous reviews that I've read. Since this was my 2nd move in 3 years I was very careful when choosing a mover. Movers arrived on time and were very fast and careful. I would highly recommend them when choosing a mover. Hopefully I won't have another move in the near future, but if I do, I would definitely hire Moving Services of America again! more

My husband and I had a terrible experience with this company. Sherry Clark at MSA gave us a quote of $2,480 and a truck came to picked up our belongings on May 14th, 2011 at which time we paid $1,200. A week after they picked up our stuff Sherry told us that it would need to pay an additional $2,900 (stating that the weight of our belongings was 6,660 pounds way over the estimated of 4,000 pounds she originally told us). So the additional weight was the reason for the extra charges. We were supposed to get our stuff by June 1st, around June 10th we started to get really frustrated and thats when we read all the negative reviews (and we realized all the positive reviews written months earlier were all fake). I contacted the Department of Transportation (DOT) hotline at 1-888-368-7238 we learned that Moving Services of America (MSA) is really a company called ""Allstate Relocation Van Lines"". They WERE a licensed company (DOT #1462677) however their license was revoked in April of 2011. Therefore Moving Services of America (aka Allstate Relocation Van Lines) is not currently licensed. We filed a complaint with the DOT and if you have been a victim of this company I encourage you to do the same. The truck arrived in our town on June 29th, 2011. Sherry Clark told us on the phone that they would not unload our stuff unless we paid the FULL balance upon arrival (the full balance meaning the $2,900 that she told us we had to pay because of the extra weight). We had a cashiers check ready for roughly $1,200 (which was the remaining balance of 110% of the original quote. We learned from the DOT that legally a customer only has to pay 110% of the original quote to have the shipment unloaded, and then any additional charges can be billed within 30 days). But Sherry told the truck drivers not come to our house until we agreed to pay the FULL balance, so we finally agreed to do so. Sherry said we could pay the remaining amount with a personal check. So we wrote our a personal check for around $1,700. We told Sherry Clark on the phone that we wanted our belongings reweighed at the weigh station close to our home. Sherry agreed to this (legally moving companies have to reweigh your belongings if you request it). We met the truck at the weighed station before they unloaded our stuff and got an initial weight. Then the drivers followed us to our house and we gave them the cashiers check (for $1,200), PLUS the personal check (for $1,700). AT that point they then unpacked the truck (a few boxes were missing, we lost about $500 worth of stuff). We then all went back to the weigh station for a second weigh-in and that is when we discovered the TRUE weight of our belongings was only 3,500 pounds! At this point the driver GAVE US OUR PERSONAL CHECK BACK for $1,700! Thank goodness that the driver was at least a reasonable person. The driver did demand that we pay $325 for ""packing materials"" which we just gave him in cash. But the point of the story is, having the truck reweighed saved us over $1,400!! If you are in this same situation, DEMAND TO HAVE THE TRUCK RE-WEIGHED! The way this company is scamming people is by lying about the weight of your items and telling you that you owe a few more thousand than you do. This post is meant for people who have already had their belongings taken, if you have paid a deposit with this company, please DO NOT LET THEM TAKE YOUR STUFF. It may take months to get it back, some of your stuff maybe stolen, they will lie to you about the weight of your items, and try to trick you into paying more money. I suggest cancelling your credit card (if you used it for the deposit) and look for another company. If you have been scammed by Moving Services of America, you are not alone! I hope and pray there is some power out there that can shut this company down for good. Please spread the word about your story so we can prevent other people from having this experience. more

We used Moving Services of America movers for the past 8 years. Their packers were and quick and very careful. I used them to pack my 5 bedroom home and I thought it would take them at least 10 hours. They were done in 4 hours with 4 packers. Moving Services of America moving crew and also top notch. Movers were running 15 minutes late and called me to let me know that they were stuck in traffic. When you are packed, they really can pack the van quickly. I highly recommend Moving Services of America movers in Salem! more

We are 100% licensed and insured moving company. Our main office is in California with nine locations with storages and trucks only in different states, so we could accommodate our customers. Previous reviewer’s quote (at least we believe this is the same customer since she misstating the facts) was $1875.00 for a move only (no packing) when we arrived customer needed full pack (nothing was packed at all). We charged $600 for a packing services and she agreed to the charges in writing. Now her total is $2,475.00 but she only wants to pay $1875.00 and unless we agree she will post bad reviews all over internet. more

THIS PLACE LIES!!!! A FRIEND USED THEM TO MOVE AND THEY WON'T GIVE HER BACK ANYTHING UNTIL SHE PAYS 3x WHAT THEY QUOTED HER. ALL THEIR ADDRESSES ARE FAKE OR JUST MAIL BOXES SO YOU CAN'T FIND THEM. THEY USE A FAKE DOT# ON THEIR APPLICATION. PLEASE DO NOT TRUST THESE PEOPLE WITH YOUR STUFF. THEY WILL TAKE IT AND RUN. JUST TRY TO FIND AN OWNER'S NAME OUT FROM THE GIRL SHERRY THAT ANSWERS THE PHONE, I PROMISE SHE WILL GIVE YOU A HUGE RUNAROUND. FURTHERMORE THERE IS MORE FINE PRINT IN THEIR CONTRACT THAN ACTUAL CONTRACT. ALSO NONE OF THEIR REVIEWS ARE REAL. SHADY!!!!!!!! more

This was a very stressful move for our family, as we had to move due to me losing my job and then getting a new job 30 minutes away. My children were not happy about the move. Moving Services may not have been able to make my children happy, but they were able to take away some of the stress by handling the move so well. We knew that the movers were very competent and we did not have to worry about the actual physical part of it, which took a lot of stress off of my and my wife. Thank you! more

I'm sending this message to you after two of your colleagues, just delivered a baby grand piano to my home. I was very impressed with their professionalism, demeanor, the way they handled our property, and their efficiency. This was our second time doing business with your company, and it was again a very good experience. As a person who often sees less than professional work in all types of service areas, it made me feel good to say something good about your company! All the best and I'd be happy to refer people we know to Moving Services!!!!! more
