Now for the bad. They ruined my sofa, I thought they put furniture on top of padding so it doesn't get grease on the fabric? Black grease on the side of the sofa. Second thing, they were suppose to bring a 3 man team and ended up with 2. More time it takes, more money. At the end, at bill paying time they took off $25 for the third person not showing! Thirdly, they sure chat up with my hubby. Hmmm, more time, more money. The time sure stretched out. Finally, that I know of right now, they put boxes wherever! I clearly had each box marked as to which room it goes. They would also ask me, I finally started saying "what's the box say?" Moving is stressful as it is, I would know, I've done it every two years most of my life (military). This was pretty stressful. I also tipped generously because I know moving "stuff" is not easy. When I move again, because I get restless in one place, I may have to find a different moving company.

I had a very unfortunate experience with big Gary's moving…read more On the positive side, they showed up on time, were friendly, had four movers, and moved our items very quickly. But on the unfortunate side, they damaged our bed pretty severely on the footboard, scratched our wood floor prominently in two locations, and literally dropped our piano on the floor, causing significant damage to both our baby grand piano and to the floor. They had indicated previously that they have experience moving pianos. What is most distressing about these errors is that they were not going to disclose any of that information. I had to call it out myself. At that point, they acknowledged it was a "bad day" and usually they don't have these issues, but I cannot in good faith recommend big Gary's movers.

We were eventually told (after we had to make contact) that the truck never left Fl until 6/24 (day it was supposed to arrive at receiving facility in PA). We were then told that the truck would arrive in PA Saturday, June 29. That date came and went. We received confirmation the day before that our delivery would be 7/2. We were contacted the morning of that truck never arrived at the receiving facility. On this anticipated delivery day, we took off work and my mother actually drove 3 hours to help us. We received that call 15 min before she arrived. We also took off work for the original delivery date of 6/25. We have been living without furniture, cooking supplies, and a decent place to sit at the end of the day besides camp folding chairs. The guys who came to move us were the best we ever had. They were respectful and so careful with our belongings. Unfortunately, the great experience ended there. UPDATE: Truck finally delivered to local facility last night at midnight (7/2). Local movers arrived this morning (7/3). So far, all boxes are smashed. All heavy boxes were on top of lighter boxes. Should be interesting to open them. Thanks BayMeadow Movers for making this process a nightmare. FYI we have moved many times before with other movers and have always had a wonderful experience.

I called them and emailed about the damage and sent photos. I was called back with no apology and they went into straight defense mode. Blamed me for the damage they caused.

It took 3 men to move the table, but somehow I did it on my own according to the company. Now the money I saved, I will now need to put into fixing the floor. Avoid this comapny!
