I originally went to unit on 5/7 and talked to Gracie, she said Sharon will be back on Monday 5/11 and will call me. I didn't hear from her so on Monday around noon I called her. Sharon (Manager) SAID NO ONE TAKES BEDS AND THERE IS A 350.00 DUMPING FEE. She wanted me to sign abandoned paperwork on the unit. Guess what I found a Charity and they came and took everything on 5/19. My billing went from 5/15-6/14, and they charged me my monthly rate of 158.00.(3 days) Over 3 years Big Jims has made a small fortune off of us $5688.00. but still took their 158.00. I tried reaching out to their Corporate office listed in SARASOTA FLORIDA, 941) 379-8470 (Primary Corporate & Sarasota Line) phone number disconnected. Good Luck people, Shame on Big Jims! Thank you Donna C

From the initial contact via Yelp!, quote process, the planning and the actual move, things are…read morepretty timely and professional. They are the only company out of the 5 that I contacted to have the fully web/mobile capable quote system that make the planning easy. Corey was on top of things - follow up was timely and excellent. The 3 guys who actually did the move were experienced movers - I could simply tell by watching them how they prepared the items, handle the furniture and large and small items. Also, by looking at the inside the truck - how they packed things for easy retrieval, were a good sign. They are very careful not to break things but at the same time, move things quickly to get the job down within the initial quote. They moved 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom condo contents from downtown Sarasota to a house that is 40 minutes away in Myakka. Very pleased with the results. I would definitely hire them again.

Never use this company. They get so many jobs they use drivers as movers who do the move so slow as…read moreif they're dead. They forced me to sign for double the time or they won't continue, they left so much stuff behind that I listed for the estimate - I had to hire another moving company to pick those things up next day (the other company was amazing compared to this one). Guys had no gas when they showed up to the job. Horrible - everything - would never ever use this company again. When I reached out about my experience I was told they don't care. I am a single mother and that was the only money I had set aside for the move - they charged me 1k more than the estimate and had to pay 600$ to other moving company for the stuff they left behind. I would give 0 stars if I could.

Worst moving experience of my life! had valuable antique tables and dining chairs to move. I asked…read morethat all wooden furniture be blanket wrapped for protection. The salesperson as well as the estimator that came to my house said that they take great care in protecting valuable items. I also asked, and it was confirmed that my white, upholstered sofas and chairs be shrink wrapped to keep them from getting soiled. This is what happened: it was like they took my antique pieces, put them in a dump truck and dumped it into the moving truck. NO protection at all! They stacked carved mahogany chairs one on top of the other! ( see attached pic) . My white sofa cushions were tossed in the truck cab . My furniture was DESTROYED! The sofa cushions in the truck cab are filthy. Two Men and a Truck admitted fault and offered a ridulous low ball settlement. I paid TWICE the amount to Two Men and a Truck then I was quoted by another REPUTABLE moving company so that I would have a dedicated truck for my belongings only- it was a waste of money-DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY! They will ruin your furniture and not compensate you to replace. All they do is keep repeating about "policies and procedures" and refuse a fair settlement. BEWARE!

Let's be clear: I contacted him about the issue, and I even spoke with his wife--who acknowledged it and offered reimbursement. That offer was never honored. Instead, I got excuses and denial. So I did what I had to do. I disputed the charge, and the credit card company ruled in my favor and issued a partial refund. All of this over $400--which didn't even come close to covering the TV that was damaged because of his work. Instead of handling a simple problem like a professional, Gabe chose to drag this out, damage his own reputation, and lose future business. At this point, the negative reviews online speak for themselves--and I make sure to share my experience with anyone considering using him. This wasn't complicated. It just required accountability.
