Smooth 3-Bedroom Long-Distance Move to Charlotte
I recently moved from Tampa, Florida to Charlotte, North Carolina, and America First Moving made the entire process a breeze. They coordinated everything ahead of time, showed up with a full crew, and handled my 3-bedroom home like true pros. Nothing was damaged and they delivered right on schedule. I’d absolutely recommend them for any long-distance move.

Smooth Long-Distance Relocation
I had to relocate from Orlando, FL to Philadelphia, PA, and America First Moving exceeded my expectations. It was a 3-bedroom home, and they managed the entire process with professionalism. They carefully wrapped all fragile items and checked with me before loading anything delicate. Everything arrived safely, and the move was completed smoothly.

SCAMMERS DONT TRUST THEM!!!!
They were very nice and responsive until they cheat you. The moving teams showed up 4 hours before scheduled I was unprepared because I had a lot to take care of before the move. They demanded a $220 tip for junking a bed frame right outside the apartment. They didn't give me a chance to do a walk through after the move because when they called me to say they already left while I was at the dog park. I had to end up paying a smaller moving company to get all the stuff they left behind in my apartment the next day. When you call the back to complain they ghost you. Don't trust them with all that 25 years in the business crap they will tell you.

***BEWARE SCAM ALERT***
***PURE NIGHTMARE*** If I could give a negative 0, I would! It has been 6 months, no resolution at all and NO furniture and out of over $10,000!!! NJ sales person told us that America 1st is a self-contained one stop shop and will deliver door-to-door for our international move to the Dominican Republic from North Carolina. NJ continued to reassure that their company would be great for the international move and that his guys would love to take a vacation to the DR and we had nothing to worry about. NJ proceeded to tell us that America 1st would also take care of customs, the fees and so forth once our belongings reach the port in the DR. We paid our deposit that was over $4400 pick-up date set for May 24, 2025, paid for so-called boxes for our tvs, a large mirror and a large picture. A U-Haul pulls up and only one guy to move our belongings name John. We had our belongings that were being shipped already boxed up and ready to go. John stated that we would need to pay an extra $1700 because of the cubic size of the container. First point of contact NJ did not say anything of that nature. We refused to pay the extra $1700. John contacted someone and that was the end of the conversation. Now, the boxes that we paid an extra $250 for the TV's, mirror and the picture; were just regular U-Haul moving boxes that were broken apart. Two other random guys pulled up hours later to assist John with the loading the U-Haul. We provided a cashier's check to John over $3000 once the U-Haul was loaded. I wouldn't think that on May 24, 2025 would be the last day that we would see our furniture. Next thing we know, we received an email from UShip Van Lines (also known as RADO Express), received the contract; had to make two more payments before our belongings could be scheduled for pick-up. Made the payment over $1300, and the last payment over $1900 once we receive our furniture. We're 6 months in, way beyond the delivery date of August 24, 2025. We have called America 1st numerous times over and over just to get the complete run around. We have spoken with Brian, Jessica, Eric, Matt; probably the entire company at this point. Today was the day, called back for a follow-up because Tuesday we were told that they reached out to UShip and waiting for an update. Each time that we have called, placed on hold; your shipment is in transit, your shipment is still in storage and you owe for 60 days of storage fees (we only had storage for 30 days and the fees were waived), your belongings are at the Miami port, now it's in transit, still waiting to assign a driver; the list and the plot continues with the same verbiage with no end! Today, called to get a follow-up and was speaking with Matt, all of a sudden Jason (Manager) took over the call. Where do I begin? First, I did not ask to speak with Jason. I was speaking with Matt. Jason thought that he would just bully me and that I was just going to be quiet and listen as if I was his child. That was not going to happen. Jason wanted to out talk me, and didn't care about our concerns. No one would tell us where our furniture is located, nor provide any resolution. We keep getting excuses, well we're the broker not the carrier. I expressed once again, that America 1st is the first direct point of contact. You took a large deposit just to leave us abandoned. Jason sent an email to UShip but at this point the way we have been mistreated; is pointless. We haven't received an apology or what can we do; just straight attitude from this company without any empathy or respect. We are very frustrated and disheartened that we have come to the conclusion that we may never see our belongings again. This company is nothing more than a SCAM and has taken our money and has provided a MAJOR DISSERVICE!!!! We have filed several federal disputes today after my conversation with Jason. We have already taken legal action with our financial institution for FRAUD, and I will be filing a dispute with our Attorney General in the morning. We shouldn't have to go to these in-depth measures to retrieve our furniture!!!

A Smooth Move for Our Busy Family
We relocated from Plano, Texas to Asheville, North Carolina after a sudden job transfer and the birth of our second child. America First Moving handled our four bedroom home with care, making sure fragile items like baby furniture and electronics were secured. They communicated constantly and everything arrived on time, allowing us to settle into our new home without added stress.

Cross-Country Move Done Right
I recently moved from Los Angeles, California to Richmond, Virginia for a new job, and America First Moving made the whole process effortless. The crew was efficient, polite, and careful with every item. They called before arrival, kept me informed, and even helped unpack a few boxes once they arrived. Everything arrived in perfect shape.
