All My Sons Moving & Storage of Milwaukee

This was my first time hiring movers. They were efficient and fast, But they were grossly overpriced and didn’t state that I would be charged $ 100 for them to just get to my apartment, also they never stated that it’s a 2 hour MINIMUM. I paid $ 300 plus $ 40 tip for each mover (2). They only moved my furniture for 1 hour. INSANELY OVER PRICED and they leave out details in that price when they call you for an estimate. Wouldn’t recommend and probably won’t use again.

Do Not Use All My Sons Moving & Storage! I Their movers stole from us, cracked our big screen TV and were unacceptably sloppy and unprofessional.
I called All My Sons Moving & Storage to move my condo in the Third Ward. They were told not to go in specific rooms of the condo that had personal items we were packing ourselves. After the movers left I found that prescription medication was stolen. A police report has been filed.
The movers were very unprofessional and sloppy. When one of them dropped the 60 in Flatscreen they were moving and cracked the case they refused to file a report on it and tired to insist that they had no knowledge on whether the TV worked to begin with.
The office manager I spoke with dismissed was equally as unhelpful. He said he would be conducting an «internal investigation» and would follow up the next day. I never received a phone call.
I have never left a Unilocal review but my experience was soo bad that I am signing up just to warn other people.
Avoid them at all cost!

Would certainly recommend. I had to be out of my apartment before 10am so I was a little nervous about them arriving on time, but they were there by 8:45, didn’t start the labor clock until 9am and were all finished in under an hour (I had also taken apart all of my furniture before they came in hopes I wouldn’t have to pay as much). The two movers were very efficient and accommodating with the delivery of my stuff. I even got a call shortly after they arrived (I’m assuming from a manager) confirming that the guys were there and doing a good job. They did the entire job in 2.5 hours with a 45 minute drive, very efficient.
They have my vote and I will be certainly using them again.

I really wish I could give them negative stars. First they showed up late, but only about 2 hours late. Then they take a look at my China cabinet, tell me they don’t what they need for the China cabinet. So they leave, now at this point I’m thinking they are running to the truck, just for me to call them after 30mins of wondering what’s going on, to hear that they aren’t coming back. Now I have to pay another months rent at my old place and I have to scramble to get moved into my new place. Thank you All My Sons! Way to run a business!

I have moved at least a half dozen times for work and this was by far the worst experience.
— One of the people packing my stuff spent more time being nosy and looking through all of my books, etc. than actually packing them. The majority of my stuff was already pre-​packed in Home Depot boxes, but they decided to repack some items in their own boxes (which of course I was charged for). They were moving so slow that I had to call the moving company and complain.
— When we got to my new location, the drunk mover was so lazy and slow, that I ended up helping the more energetic of the two move the heaviest stuff up three flights of stairs. I’m talking about bed frames, couches, and all the stuff that you hire moving companies for in the first place.
— The actual charges of course were much higher than the estimate because they were so slow. To add insult to injury, they broke my TV during the move. After a long, cumbersome process to file a claim, they offered me $ 5 for the TV.
I will NEVER use this sorry company again.

Overall, we had a terrific experience. The crew arrived on time and worked hard. There were only a couple of small damage incidents, which was nothing more than you could expect no matter who moved your belongings. The team was also friendly and personable. Reading other reviews, I believe some of the negative remarks may be attributed to how you treat the group. The movers even finished early and we ended up receiving a credit on our time. The only suggestion I would have to better the experience was that the initial estimate I received was not accurate. Although I felt the team worked hard throughout the morning, the time estimate just was not realistic of what was required. However, I would recommend All My Sons to anyone and would use them again next time I need to move.

Great moving experience a few days ago. They were very nice on the phone and in person. Got to my house on time and worked very fast. Everything was delivered safely and efficiently. The cost was affordable, definitely worth it considering the stress and back-​breaking work of moving. No hidden fees, upfront about cost, which was less than they quoted me for. They wrapped up the move in less than three hours. Very pleased and would use them again. I recommend going with these guys!

When I called to get a quote I thought it was too good to be true; turns out I was right. The person on the phone asked me in detail what I had, how many bedrooms, what was the heaviest item, etc… apparently that was just small talk as they sent a small truck for a whole house + basement move. Then the person on the phone said that «you don’t even have to unpack your dressers, just leave the clothes in the dresser.» I even checked with the person who confirmed the move if that was okay and they said yes too. Unfortunately, nobody told the movers this, and they really struggled with the weight of the dressers. The movers clearly got tired quickly, granted it was VERY hot… but still. The movers were two hours late; we were the first move of the day. The movers had to take multiple trips, in a RENTED truck. The movers took care of things the first trip, those after weren’t as lucky, the dressers are scratched as are the end tables. The walls were damaged by who knows what, and we weren’t even informed of the damage. The topper: there is a laptop and an ipod still missing with the box that had both in them mysteriously opened when all the others remained shut. So to recap, the movers seemed very nice, but tired easily, weren’t prepared for the amount of move, the truck was rented, things were damaged, things were most likely stolen, things were broken. I will not use this company again.

I would not recommend this moving company to anyone. I booked with them a year ago, and the experience still stings. I tried to report them to the BBB, but alas, they aren’t accredited.
I booked a time with them, because they gave the cheapest quote, and I didn’t think I could afford much more — I think it was $ 850 from Milwaukee to Chicago, but for the ache that ensued, I wish I had looked into them more.
In a nutshell, they were 3 hours late to pick up my stuff in Milwaukee, which meant that they missed the 5 hour window that I had reserved the elevator for in my condo building in Chicago. Condo buildings are not flexible, and when the movers arrived, I was not allowed to move my stuff into my building. I had called the moving company in Milwaukee at least half a dozen times letting them know that I had a window for them to move my stuff in, that was slowly getting smaller and smaller.
Once they arrived in Chicago, an hour after the window closed, they had to follow me and my boyfriend to his parents house, so that I could store my stuff, until I could hire OTHER MOVERS to get the job done.
When my boyfriend’s attorney father told them that I shouldn’t have to pay for the job they didn’t do, they threatened to drive away with my stuff. I believe one guy turned the truck on. I think they knocked the price down to $ 500, but considering, I didn’t have my stuff, I needed to pay more money to hire other people to do the job, and the amount of time and stress that was wasted on this situation, $ 500 still seemed steep.
Of course, my stuff is worth more than $ 500, and when they threatened to drive away with my stuff, I begrudgingly paid.
I would never recommend them to anyone. They put a huge cloud on an already stressful situation.
Sometimes paying a little more for a trustworthy business is worth it.
Tread with caution.
I tried to give them no stars, but Unilocal wouldn’t let me.

ALSO — They filter their reviews so that you don’t see the ones that don’t give them praise!

I moved yesterday with All My Sons, they were nothing short of awesome. My entire move was done in less than 2 hours. Granted I don’t have a ton of stuff and really only needed to have help moving the larger stuff.
The guys themselves were nice, quick and super polite. The really hustled to get me moved. This was the second time I’d seen these guys in action, they had moved my boyfriend a couple weeks ago and were awesome then too.
Moving is stressful enough without having to feel badly about renting a truck, plying your friends with beer and pizza in exchange to help you move. Honestly, when you break it all down I think the cost (as long as you are willing to move some boxes yourself pre-​major move) is about the same.
I definitely plan on using them again for my next move.
