Our experience with Bekins was phenomenal. The three guys that were sent to move us where professional, funny, and extremely easy to work with. The appraiser was great to talk with, as were the office personnel that helped set up our move. I highly recommend Bekins to anyone who wants to take the stress out of a move with a fantastic company that employs knowledgeable and kind staff.

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!

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.

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!

We recently used Bekins for a move out of our house and into a temporary storage unit nearby. The team that moved us was phenomenal! The men were considerate of our home and belongings, efficient, and hard working. They were able to expertly pack all of our items into one unit, saving us hundreds of dollars a month on an additional unit we had on reserve that we didn't need. We would love for this same team to move us into our home when the time comes!

DO NOT USE! We were recommend Bekins by friends and our realtor as they had a good reputation in the area. We used them and had, hands down, the worst moving experience of our lives. We planned to use them to move out of our house, then into temporary storage, and then into our new house two months later On move out day: The movers arrived an hour late and in a truck that was way too big to navigate the streets of Philadelphia.
This is after we had an appraiser come to look at our house and take notes regarding house size, amount of furniture and navigation of streets. The truck was so big that it damaged one of the trees on our block. The movers on move out day were inexperienced and had no regard or respect for our belongings. Twice I had to talk to them and ask them to not slide boxes down our stairs (yes, twice).
We had wooden furniture that I saw them roll (yes, roll - not slide) along the floor of our hallway. None of the furniture was wrapped in blankets before going into the truck and it all appeared to be done haphazardly. The person in charge of inventory could not seem bothered to do his job properly as well. If that was not enough, the movers damaged our property when moving us out.
The act of rolling the wooden furniture on a wooden floor caused multiple scuff marks, and there were multiple areas of the wall that had dings and scratches on the pain and plaster. We had to pay for a painter/contractor to come in last minute to touch up the house and fix the damage to the floor as we were closing later that week. The contractor stated it was the most damage he had seen to a house by a moving crew in his many years of experience.
We had them pick up some furniture from our mother in laws house after moving out of our house and it took them 2 hours (which we were charged for) to arrive at her house. I can only assume they were eating. A quick google map would let you know she lives 12 miles from the move. Storage/Move in This was done by an entirely different crew that were wonderful and professional.
We did, unfortunately note that many of the items were damaged, and others that were originally packed were missing, including furniture and various boxes. They helped us document much of the damage of the previous crew, and gave some pointers as to how to write a claim as well. You can see much of the damage they did in the attached photos including damaged boxes, broken glassware, torn furniture and scuffed/damaged wooden furniture.
I may not be the most experienced person with moves, but in general if a box is marked fragile or delicate - i would assume it would be best if it didn't arrive dented and crushed Epilogue: We submitted a claim hoping to recoup some of the expenses that we incurred from the damage to our property, and multiple missing items at the hands of Bekins movers but they disregarded everything except damage to the wooden furniture, which magically came in under our deductible!
What are the chances! So in the end we are out an additional 2K in expenses on top of the already costly expenses for hiring Bekins to move us out of our house. I would not recommend using Bekins at all - unless you don't particularly care about your furniture/belongings and enjoy being overcharged for time and poor work.

Spencer and his associate arrived on time, were very professional, and took care with my possessions. Everything was safely delivered to my new apartment, and I couldn't be happier. The guys did a great job. The whole process was seamless. The initial visit, professionally provided written bid, and immediate scheduling of the move was accomplished with ease. Compared to all bidders this was by far my best option. I highly recommend Bekins.

We recently bought a new house and our sale/purchase process was not smooth at all. Our settlement dates were pushed 5 times. Each time, Bekins went above and beyond to accommodate our ever changing schedule. I joked around with them that they were going to fire me as a customer! Their office and sales staff was truly the nicest. The operation team and actual employees doing the move were amazing.
They showed up on time and prepared. They emptied our house quickly and efficiently and even helped me pack last minute items that I was super stressed about. They had us unpacked and organized at our new house in no time. On top of doing such a great job, the guys were so personable and fun to be around. It was an all around great experience and I would hire them again in a second for any future move.
