After shopping for a mover for almost 2 months and looking at every type of move possible (pods, move broker, cargo trailer) we decided to stick with a true Van Line. We moved over 3000 miles from the southwest corner of the country to the north east corner. They we not the cheapest option we received but we felt the most comfortable. Also you cannot compare a van line to any other type of mover, Van Lines hold their own in a class above all others. Bekins was responsive, polite, willing to explain everything, right on schedule and they made the move from one side of the country to the other in 7 days so we had very little waiting for our furniture. The only reason I didn't give them 5 stars is because our quote was initially for 17,600 pounds or thereabouts. The final weight was 19,000 and some change. When I received the original quote, I divided the total cost by the weight to determine a price per pound cost. When we went over by 1400 pounds I did quick calculation and thought the price would be about $2k more. It was $4k more. When I inquired why 1400 pounds adjusted the price by $4k, I was told a few new fees were required like a large load fee (over 18000 pounds), added fuel surcharge, etc. As someone who doesn't deal with these sort of services that often I simply wish their was more transparency in costs and fees if you exceed the weight quote, especially when we are so close already to exceeding the large load amount which generated an additional fee of $600 by itself. A comment like, Mr. Client, we're very close to being in the large load category, if you exceed 18k in weight, there is an additional $xxx flat fee. Just more transparency like that would've been very nice considering all the expenses one needs to incur to make that sort of move. All in all, I would definitely use them again and have already recommended them to someone else moving cross country. I should add that our driver, John, was absolutely amazing. He was calming, kept us up to date and ran his crew like the military. read more

DO NOT hire this company to help you move! We used Bekins to move from Long Beach, CA to Michigan. At first things seemed to go ok despite the packers refusing to wear masks (this was in the height of Covid last September). Little did I know, only some of our items were being loaded on to the moving truck. When the truck arrived in Michigan there were several items missing. When I say several, I mean over $3,000 worth of mens clothing and a large container of loose change I would conservatively estimate to be $300. I would've never guessed someone would steal pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters but sure enough...... it disappeared. I immediately reached out to Bekins to express my frustration and unhappiness and they agreed to do a "trace". Of course they did not find anything because my belongings never made it onto the moving truck! Now we have filed a claim and they have denied it because it was 1 day late. Someone working for Bekins stole my belongings and now Bekins will not do anything about it. Like I said, DO NOT use this company..... their employees can't be trusted and neither can anyone in management. read more

Bekins did a great job with our recent move from a high rise building in San Diego to our destination in Missouri. The packing team came on time and did a fine job packing up the boxes with our belongings in them. The moving team arrived a couple of hours later, as scheduled. They carefully wrapped our furniture, including the legs, and fully complied with the requirements the building had for movers. The Bekins office and the driver communicated with us about the delivery and showed up when they said they would. Our belonging arrived in excellent condition. The drivers were careful in the unloading of our items and carefully checked the items against the inventory. The Relocation consultant that we initially contacted communicated well with us through out the whole process. The pricing for the packing services and the move itself were competitive with other major moving companies. We were very happy that decided to go forward with Bekins. (We are planning another move to Florida in a few months, and will be reaching out to the Bekins team to help us with that one too!) read more

Our experience was outstanding! Very professional and experienced staff both days of our pack-out. They worked with us, and with each other like a well oiled German machine. Breakable items were very well packaged and sealed up in a wide variety of specialized cartons which covered the spectrum of items which might be moved. The lead man really knew the trade, and how to lead his crew. We are very high on Bekins and are very glad we selected them to move and store our belongings. Our agent, Mark Glazier was great to work with and he has personal experience of every facet of the moving trade and this quickly established a bond of trust with us that remains strong. His estimates were spot on and he answered our many questions to our total satisfaction. Thank you Bekins, we are looking forward to seeing your truck and staff arrive at our new home soon!

I would give them 6/5 stars if I could! I have moved 5 times since 2013 and have used Bekins each time. My first move was with Mark Glazier the Bekins estimator. Mark estimated the job expertly, professionally and knowledgeably. He was spot on with the move and cost and all of our items arrived safe and were moved in by Bekins from the west coast to the east coast. Glazier beat two other moving companies estimates without knowing what the other companies estimates were. Glazier was contacted and helped advise us on how to handle our move back from the east coast to the west coast. Since then he has helped us move downtown from the east county and just recently beat out two other movers in out bidding them moving just 7 floors up to another condominium. Glazier has always gone the extra mile personally delivering tape, boxes, wrapping paper and making sure there is never any disparity between what he promises and what is delivered. If he is still in the business when this current lease is up he will be my one and only call for my next move! read more

Bekins is amazing, their representative Mark Glazier came out to my house for a free in home quote, he was very knowledgeable about the moving industry and provided me with several options for storing my furniture. The information that he gave me and his suggestion to store the furniture in my garage not only was the best solutions but by doing this thereby saved me some money. I was extremely impressed impressed with the crew that moved my furniture into the garage and the second crew that moved it all back into the house. Both were extremely careful and got it done with no dings or dents at all. This was great, in light of the fact that my doors are narrow and require some right angle turns to get big items through them. Everyone was friendly, courteous and very efficient. They asked me what I wanted done and where I wanted the furniture placed when they returned it to the house. They showed up on time and completed the job far more quickly than I expected. All in all this was a very satisfying and pleasant experience for me. read more

This is the third time I've used Bekins for my move, this time I elected to use their storage option, where Bekins movers come in and load my furniture and boxes into these "vaults" where it is stored until I find my new place and all I have to do is call and the deliver. This is very convenient effective and efficient. From the beginning my representative was very professional and knowledgeable about the move process because he had been a driver for them in college. The moving crew Tony and Elijah arrived on time and in uniforms. We had a long carry through my parking garage plus an elevator not ideal but I heard zero complaints, tony and Elijah pad wrapped and protect all of my expensive furniture and I felt comfortable about everything because of the attention they were paying to each piece. I am recommending Bekins to all my friends read more

I used Bekins recently to move me from Del Mar to the Carmel Valley. None of the moving companies I looked at had positive reviews on yelp. Moving is just stressful, I get that clearly now after unpacking my last few boxes over the weekend. Anyhow, I looked at three moving companies and picked Bekins. They were not the cheapest, but definately the more professonal and had a good game plan since my house was not the easiest to move out of. I have moved five times around San Diego county over the year. This was hands down the best moving experience I have ever had. Sal and his team never stopped working, actually cared about my stuff and did a perfect move for me. Bekins did a great job for me and my family and I would not hesitate to use them again. read more

******* STAY AWAY FROM THEM- YOU'VE BEEN WARNED****** Top priority was charging my credit card- then secondly they destroyed my furniture- never offered to reimburse yet "fix" . they then sent a guy out who said he would fix- but never showed up again. No phone call , no nothing. Bekins/ Wheaton only priority was making sure they got paid- NEVER USE THIS COMPANY FOR ANY REASON OTHER THAN TO GET SCREWED HARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I PAID OVER $8,000.00 TO GET MOVED- HAVE OVER $$$$$$20,000.00 IN DAMGAGED PROPERTY THAT THEY HAVE ADMITED TO DOING. They don't want to fix apparently after seeing the damage in person. I will post pictures of my Restoration Hardware couches and furniture ruined by them as proof. read more

Bekins is GREAT! I moved from downtown to Carmel Valley today and these guys did an AMAZING job. I was really concerned because I had to reserve an elevator, they beat my reservation time without issue. Being an artist, I had quite a few expensive and delicate pieces that required a special touch.....GREAT NEWS, not a single scratch. From my first interaction with Bekins, to the crew that came to move me, I was very impressed. I am moving again in a few months and I will use them again. They even got the move completed under budget. Thank you Tyson, Tony and Austin for a great move!!! read more

After shopping around for moving companies this one gave the best quote and was recommended by the building I moved into. They were very professional over the phone and seemed knowledgable. 3 men showed up on the day of the move including Sal who was awesome. All 3 men were great at their job and made sure to take extra care when moving all items. They were polite, efficient, and went above and beyond what they originally thought they were supposed to do. No items were scratched or damaged during the move. I would highly recommend Bekins to anyone that is in need of movers in San Diego. read more

Great movers! All were ready for the large project i had prepared for them ahead. What started as a small move accumulated into the largest move of the century. Many men were needed and all 4 of them moved my lovely leather sofa into my brand new office without scuffing so much as a doorjamb while doing so. Professional and accurate they were on time and pleasant to work with. I even bought them lunch. Would recommend for any and all projects large and small, work related or home bound, and definitely if you want to protect your personal belongings. read more

We have moved every 2-3 years for the past 20 years for job changes. The past 2 moves were with Bekins, and both were OUTSTANDING. The packing process was completed by Bekin's movers quickly but carefully. There was NO BREAKAGE in this move. Loading the moving van happened in 1 day. The van arrived at our new home as scheduled and unloading also happened quickly with items placed in the appropriate rooms. I will call Bekins again without question when our next move takes place ! read more

Brandon constantly works with us on hospitality projects, and is always pleasant, on time, cares about his work, and always does his best! I've been in this business for over 40 years, and Brandon's work and attitude are second to none. I highly recommend Bekins Moving Solutions, and Brandon Felice. Brandon always goes the extra mile and is willing to be flexible with our deliveries and schedule! read more

I had the BEST experience possible with the help of MARK GLAZIER, he gave me an estimate that fit my budget and was extremely pleasant to work with. He went above and beyond to make sure that my move was stress free and went as smooth as possible. He even was available to be here when the truck arrived because I was unable to. He literally made this BIG move for me exciting and I am just beyond happy I was able to work with him! I cannot thank him enough!!!!!!!!!! read more

Everybody was terrific. They were professional, courteous, and particularly attentive to our concerns regarding a few special household items. Bill, who loaded and drove our household goods across the country, was great to work with. He kept us informed of his progress, and he arrived earlier than we had anticipated. Bill is a tribute Bekins, and he reflects the top notch reputation you have established in the industry. Thank you. John & Eve Herron read more

We have moved many times, but this was the smoothest move because all of the staff made it painfree. The packers were experts and managed to inventory after packing to speed up the next days move. And within hours all of the boxes went into the moving van. The team worked so well together that was a pleasure watching them in action. Even the special team that made crates for our most delicate possessions were pros. read more

We used Bekins for a move across states and it went great. I wasn't sure about how our things were going to do after such a long haul. I was worried about things being broken or stolen. None of that happened and even better they let me know the whole way where they were and when they would be there to deliver. Bekins Moving was awesome and I would recommend them to anyone. read more

Reading some other reviews and I have to say I am surprised. My experience was great! I'm active duty military so always moving and I had no issues from the video survey with Stephen/Steven to the truck driving away with Tobin and Amed. Everyone I interacted with was polite and professional. They made sure to communicate and I saw no mishandling of any of my belongings. read more
