Negative BMS Moving & Storage Reviews
Dennis C, Google
I've moved across country five times and Bekins provided the most I'll prepared and unprofessional service I could imagine. Lost items and damaged goods and then they squeezed me on the claim.
Cassie Hanson, Google
Their billing person said they had made a mistake in my monthly rental for over a year and that I owed them an additional $1K which I would have to pay to get my goods moved.
Mark Smith, Google
We experienced minor damage, more importantly, expensive items were either missing parts (refrigerator) or lost entirely (expensive 64” tempered, polished round glass dining table protective cover).
Neutral BMS Moving & Storage Reviews
L M H, Google
Bekins charged my credit card MORE than the amount on the final bill which I signed at the end of the move. Alex the salesman was great. Francisco, Manuel and Miguel packed and moved my belongings quickly and carefully.
Janet Sheiner, Google
The move went fine on the California end with very nice packers. The unloaders were very clumsy. Dining room table was broken.
Sunita Subodh Gupta, Google
The furniture was disassembled and wrapped quite well, but there were some nicks and dings we noticed later.
