I interviewed 5 moving companies for our BC to AB move. I asked all the questions, I researched and researched. I chose AMJ as I falsely believed they were an honourable, upstanding company. Please learn from my mistake and do not hire this company!! AMJ makes false promises, your belongings ARE NOT INSURED if you pack yourself. Apparently you have to pay them thousands of extra dollars to have them pack your items to be insured. I was told on numerous occasions I was insured and not to worry. From our moving consultant to our driver we were reassured over and over again. My pick up raised red flags immediately. Our moving consultant did not estimate the amount of items we had correctly. Our truck was supposed to have another clients items as well as ours. They had to cancel the other client as there was nowhere near enough room. At the end of the day the crew was literally stuffing the truck with our belongings. On the delivery end the crew were not careful with our walls, boxes or furniture. We paid extra to have our big screen TV s crated and found out they did not crate one of them. Still awaiting a response from AMJ regarding this mistake. Not to mention they lost the power cord to one of our TV s. All of our furniture arrived dirty, some damaged and some missing furniture pegs. Once we started unpacking we discovered 2 of our boxes had damaged items. I filed a claim as instructed. AMJ replaced my tv power cord(took 2 weeks) furniture pegs and they covered the wall damage. I was told my boxed items were being denied as I failed to take pictures/keep the damaged boxes. I had no idea I was to keep the boxes!? They sent a furniture repair man to fix my damaged tv stand. He proceeded to tell me how great AMJ are with claims and he could not believe they would not honour the remainder of the items in the damaged boxes. They have completely refused my claim for my boxed items, we are out at least $2000. We have lost some irreplaceable items. I used extra bubble wrap, paper and padding for all of my fragile items. I have been told if I had the damaged boxes they would honour my claim. I have also been told the reason they won t honour my claim is because I packed my own boxes. So two conflicting statements. I have contacted them numerous times and I am met with robotic responses. I have given AMJ plenty of time and the opportunity to make this situation right and they absolutely refuse to. BUYER BEWARE!!
