Worst moving company I have ever worked with. Do not use Bekins! Almost every piece of furniture I have is damaged and all of my electronics are missing. I have spoken with 3 people who have not responded, nor paid me the insurance they were supposed to pay. In addition, they had the audacity to charge my credit card another $300 without my permission because they claim their staff did the paperwork wrong! Going to put a stop payment on that!

I found the crew who loaded our house onto the truck and unloaded the next day 150 miles away to be very professional and careful with our possessions. I could not be happier with the resuly. Thank you for taking some stree out of our move.

Couldn't have been happier with this company. They were so helpful in every aspect of the move! The three young men were fantastic. Anything we asked them to do was done, no problem. I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for movers!

From our phone interactions with Sylvia and our home consultation with Will, to the day of our move and dealing with Nate and his team, all of our interactions with this moving company were pleasant, professional, and put us at ease. We were very stressed when it seemed like no moving company could move us in the time we needed. I was very happy with the service they provided and I am happy to say we had no problems, nothing lost, and no repairs needed. I highly recommend this company for your move.

The rep that came out was very professional, he left a folder with labels etc. I was impressed and happy with my choice until the move day. To start the moving crew was sent to the final destination instead of the starting point. Once they started on the big furniture the moving process was a mess. They were not working together very well. They were careless with items. Upon arriving at the house, one mover hopped out of the truck in a very vocal, very public tantrum (he was yelling obscenities) and stormed off in a fit because he could not find his cigar. Boxes were unloaded and left upside down

From the initial estimate meeting through the end of the move, my experience with Bekins was excellent. The organization was very accommodating and scheduled and executed a move that had 3 drop offs at separate locations in an extremely efficient and conscientious manner. The crew was incredibly courteous and truly hard working. They even took a moment to educate me about my sleep number bed set up in case I would ever want to dismantle myself in the future. I highly recommend Bekins!!
