DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY OR ANY COMPANY ASSOCIATED WITH WHEATON WORLDWIDE! Delayed delivery, damaged furniture, poor communication, etc., etc. They don't even deserve one star!

DO NOT USE BEKINS MOVING COMPANY!!!!! If you value your things and your hard earned money, never use this company!!! They have missed 3 scheduled delivery times and have been holding our things hostage for more money as a result of their mistakes. The are demanding twice the “Do Not Exceed” amount signed in our contract. They have continued to threaten our possessions for more money. AVOID THESE MOVERS!!!!

ABSOLUTELY THE WORST EXPERIENCE. DO NOT TRUST THESE PEOPLE AND NEVER USE THEM. EXPENSIVE AND AWFUL.

We bought insurance, but now are told that does not apply to them leaving items that then were disposed of by the cleaning service. A terrible experience and I hope no... Read More

Cancelled their services one week before our move, leaving us in a bind to find another moving company. After a morning of trying to get a secure date for picking up our belongings from PA to move to AZ, all we were left with us rude services managers and managers. Lies about what was stated in their initial visit to our home and what they stated to us in the past two days. WHen they started to yell at us over the phone we knew that there was NO WAY we could trust them to move our belongings across the country.
