Bekins Van Lines Reviews

Positive:

• “I was terrified of using any moving company for my move from San Jose to Oregon. I did a lot of online research and in the end went with Bekins because of two personal recommendations and their set estimate. It was an easy process, the movers took great care with my items and they delivered when they said they would.” – S. N. via Yelp
• “We obtained the usual estimates for our office move, and Bekins came in with the best and most detailed estimate.” – Wanda of Tampa via Consumer Affairs
• “This customer WOULD recommend the business to a friend, family member, neighbour or colleague.” – Cindy R via BBB
• “The entire moving team was fantastic. The estimators and coordinators were very thoughtful.” – Paul D via MyMoivingReviews.com

Negative:

• “Truly awful experience – lots of damaged goods and unprofessional service.” Kelly H via Yelp
• “The perfect move described by the agent became a nightmare.” – Marcel of Lake Park via Consumer Affairs
• “There were several things negative about this experience.” – David S via BBB
• “I have found Bekins moving and storage is unreliable.” D Langdon via MyMoivingReviews.com
