I would highly recommend this moving company. I had outstanding customer service from the initial review/quote through packing/moving day. Tim McAllister was my main point of contact throughout the entire process and addressed all my questions with a smile. Moving isn't easy, but they sure did take the stress out of the equation and packed all my goods with such care.
Everything was clearly labeled and I was provided a detailed shipping manifest of all my goods. I couldn't be happier with their service and so glad I selected them as my moving company! Mahalo for everything!

I called with with a few questions, mainly about what contact number the team had to get a hold of us when they arrived at the storage unit. Explained we had to switch numbers to mine as my husband had been pulled off island and I would now be acting as POA for the friend that was being packed up. This happened months ago and its still not sitting well with me, the woman on the phone was honestly very very rude.
I happened to have her on speaker as I was moving some things around at the unit and even the people with me looked up shocked when she was so aggressively dismissive. Cut me off, scolded me for changing the contact information, demanded why we are changing it and if my husband had literally left yesterday and why we wouldn't have had advanced notice.
It was kind of unbelievable, I explained he left due to the military two days prior and we didn't have any notice. She huffed and just kept asking me over and over and over if I held a POA to handle this then. And I did, this was just a bizarre and out of line conversation. Team who packed us was very nice and efficient.

Only getting one star because the only positive of this company is that they're fast. It only took a crew of 3 men approximately 5 hours to pack 5,000 lbs worth of household goods. However their speed was due to their negligence and downright carelessness when packing. Sure they brought in TONS of packing paper but never used it on the things that needed it. Frames with glass were tossed into a box with heavy powertools on top, no organization when it came to where to put the screws for items that were disassembled, and tossing smaller electronic devices randomly with no coverings despite us giving them the original boxes they came in.
Not to mention a good 25% of our household goods were not even labeled or wrapped at all. 5 mystery boxes with no writing on them and no label, didn't even show up on our inventory but we're ours. They misjudged the amount that we had despite a pre-move inspection, causing us to have to throw out a few items because they would not fit into the container they brought and they didn't want to call their boss and get another container. Overall a hastily done job. Worst packing experience in over 3 moves.

An overseas military move can be pretty stressful but Levi, Justice and Tino made our pack up and out easy and did it well! They worked quickly but were very thorough. They took great care of our items and it was evident that they took pride in their work. I worked around them adding my own labels to what they packed and they would even remind me when a box or wrapped up was missing my own labels!
They were neat in the house and garage and brought extra boxes and paper to fill our final crate to ensure no movement. They were personable and I felt like they let us get to know them, which is something I highly value when working with people. Our final large piece, which is a super heavy dresser, got some fun art work on her to put the finishing touches on the job! I would work with this trio again in a heartbeat!

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. For the love of god, do not put yourself through the same misery and problems that I have. Learn from my mistakes, pay the extra money and go with a more trusted moving company. There's nothing "Aloha" about this company. Especially their sales agent; Tim. Who thought he was too high and mighty to answer questions, very unresponsive and last minute.
Which is the last thing anyone needs when moving internationally. The best part of all is that the cheap ghetto moving company they hired in Spain broke a piece off my balcony. They fixed it with super glue. PS. Shout out to the movers in Hawaii who packed everything and were super friendly. They were the only positive and pleasant aspect from this whole ordeal.

Honestly I was pretty nervous for our move after reading the reviews but was presently surprised at the service we were provided. Initially one guy showed up two hours early which wasn't a huge deal but I would recommend having all your packing stuff done the night before. The one mover packed the entirety of the down stairs and was very nice and careful.with our belongings.
He left and assured us the rest of the movers would be on their way soon. It took 1.5 hours for the other movers to come which is why this was given 4 stars. However, the company was good about communicating to me and keeping in touch with the movers and myself about the timeline. Once the rest of the movers came they started moving and packing right away and we're actually alot nicer with my stuff than I expected, not quite to the level of the first mover by definitely better than I had read about. The movers were also good about wearing masks and being respectful and asking before using my restroom. Honestly wouldn't mind doing business with them again. Nice job!

Attention all military families, beware of this shady moving company. all of our expensive Christmas ornaments were stolen! They were methodically taken out of our Christmas storage bag, that was in another bag. They made us fill out paper work of how they're services were, thinking we wouldn't notice. We can make a claim, but it won't bring back all our family memories they stole from us. I've never been so angry in my life

Critical: Value Unpacking stuff here in VA and finding stuff "missing". A huge chunk of my kitchen stuff and all of my board games. This is how your ohana treats the military. Ridiculous. Military beware! Refuse this company to move you. Services: Out-of-county removals, Packing/unpacking, Local removals

EXCELLENT pack out for our HHG! I LOVED our crew! Unfortunately, I cannot remember their names (performed the move-out on 8/7/2019 on Hickam), but they were by far the best movers we have ever had! First, these two showed up EARLY! Super courteous, wrapped everything, and were extremely gentle with our things! I was a nervous wreck because of our previous move with a different company, and these two truly restored my faith.
They labeled EVERYTHING and the paperwork was 100%. I marked all of the high value items with signs beforehand, and everything made it on the list, no issues! I would give 100 stars to those two if I could! Thank you for such a great end to our time in Hawaii! :)

Reading all the bad reviews I was very worried about this company packing our stuff. Only 2 men showed up which I think is fine as long as they can do the job. A 3rd guy actually showed up to help because the people he was packing for canceled. We put stickers of our info on our boxes they packed and they didn't mind. Only the 3rd guy questioned why I needed to do it.
I read that they are known for stealing, but one guy found my debit card while packing and gave it to my husband. Very honest of him. They sealed the crates in front of us. They didn't give us attitude about taking pictures of our high valuable list. We just got our HHG delivered yesterday and EVERYTHING made it in the same condition it was at our old house.
They sealed the crates so well that the company that delivered our HHG could barely open the crates. They definitely know how to pack. I was very happy with their services. I NEVER leave reviews so they made a big impression on me.
