I wish I had read these reviews before hiring this company. Extremely bad communication and professionalism. They broke my 55" TV during my move and even though the owner of the company came by during the move, just after it happened and promised to replace it, it still hasn't been replaced.
So first of all, I booked them for a specific time/date over a month before I wanted to move. The first sketchy thing that happened was that I got a phone call the day before my move from a random cell phone with a guy who told me he had been hospitalized and asked me had I found someone else to move me after......this was totally unexpected and a little unnerving. I was a little confused as to what he was talking about but agreed that I still indeed did need to move....the next day, they showed up a little late. The guys doing the move were friendly, but that's the best I can say about the whole experience. I had a 55" Smart/Roku TV that I asked if they could move safely, because if not, I could take it over myself, in my car. I was moving literally to the next street over. The guys assured me they could safely take it and proceeded to pack it into their truck.
When they finished and unpacked it at my new place, a 30 second drive away, the screen was totally broken. All guys present were very apologetic and they called the owner. He showed up while they were finishing up the move and saw the damage and they took pictures. He promised to replace it within a day or two. AFTER this, they overcharged me from the quote of $120/hour for 3 guys to $310 for an hour and a half move to the next street over. I never got a new tv or any money toward a new one. I sent dozens of emails and texts over the following days. With little to no response. After the lack of communication about the issue, I finally went on google and started to read reviews of the company.
I am a single parent, working full-time, and they are a company who will likely claim this through their insurance, but either way they can certainly afford to pay for the damages they caused. But Big Bear Movers left me high and dry. They even knew that I was a single parent.
Hopefully I can save someone else the time, trouble, money and stress of hiring this company to move them. read more
