FOR MOVERS

What does Alliance do?

Alliance is a third-party crating and relocation company. We handle crating, furniture disassembly, appliance disconnects, and unpacking across the US and Canada.

How do movers order?

The mover books the work for its customer. We scope it, price the job, and send it to a nearby vendor. Each order gets one named coordinator.

How are techs chosen?

Each vendor and tech carries insurance and passes a background check before the first job. Vendors keep a performance score, and we work only with top-rated providers.

How do I track orders?

Order status, arrival times and changes appear online in real time. The tech logs photos, and the customer signs off on the tech's phone when the job is done.

FOR VENDORS (TECHNICIANS)

Do I need insurance?

Yes. Vendors keep proof of insurance on file with Alliance. The portal shows your policy and its expiration date, so you know when to renew.

Do I take every job?

No. You accept or decline each order. A decline asks for a short reason so dispatch can send the job to someone else.

Can I apply alone?

Yes. Independent techs can apply on their own. Some techs join an existing vendor crew. Pick whichever option fits on the application.

Where do jobs happen?

Orders come in across the United States and Canada. List the cities or ZIP codes you cover when you apply, and our vendor team will share expected volume near you.

How do invoices work?

After the customer signs off, the job shows under Invoices needed in the portal. Upload your invoice there; the list also flags any job still missing a signature.

FOR FAMILIES

Who comes to my home?

An insured tech who has passed a background check. Alliance works only with vendors who pass regular reviews.

What does crating mean?

A crate is a wood case built to fit one piece. Foam, boards or braces inside keep the piece from shifting on the road.

What should I crate?

Think fragile, valuable or oddly shaped: art, antiques, mirrors, chandeliers, pianos, large TVs, wine and collectibles. If no box fits it, it probably needs a crate.

Do you unpack crates?

Yes. We open the crate at your new home and unpack the piece.
