Reviews and Complaints

I hired Beckens to move my son to Texas. I was quoted a price of 950. I have all the emails to prove their quotes. We were told originally that it would be “their” truck and they would label all the boxes with a scanner system and we would get a printout of the inventory. We sent them an inventory list prior to the move.
We were to meet them in the A.M. on a Saturday morning to weigh the truck in and then load up and weigh again.
Three men in a budget rental truck showed up 5 hours late and said they could not weigh in and they glanced at our inventory and said it would be about 1800.00.
They had no intentions of getting the truck weighed before and after they picked up our stuff even though Becken’s stressed that the price was to be calculated by weight. The driver told us that Beckens was just a broker and they outsourced the move to them.
We sent them on their way because I knew once they had our things, we would be at their mercy.
BEWARE OF LYING THIEVING MOVERS!

This company sets you up with a low ball estimate for a service it never provides but contracts out to some intimidating foreign thieves. The first of who came and created the drama of loading my stuff while re-figuring the estimate upwards. In this case Beckens sent Experienced Van Lines of Brooklyn New York. They hijacked the price from $1750.00 to $2400.00 and I had only three extra boxes from the inventory I gave Beckens to get the original quote. It gets worse. The Experienced Van lines crew refused to leave without a15% tip (they wanted twenty percent). It gets worse still. Experienced Van lines turned my goods over to Olga Van Lines of Brooklyn New York. They delivered my stuff three days after the promised delivery date. The Olga crew refused to give me my $25.00 change for the cash payment I made for the $75.00 I had to pay over and above the final balance because there were five more stairs than in the fine print of the contract. Den from Olga van Lines indicated the money would be kept as part of the gratuity he was asking for. They also left furniture disassembled.

There was not a moment that I did not feel threatened and intimated.

I never thought I would write a review for a moving company, but Across U.S.A. Moving really outdid themselves. My roommate and I were moving from an elevator building to a 2nd floor walk-up. I called Across U.S.A. Moving when I was price shopping and they immediately came in lower priced then most of the other people I spoke with. They assured me this would be quick and easy. The guys came on time as scheduled and wrapped all of my furniture in moving pads to assure no damage. They quickly moved everything to the new walk up in no time. The price and the service made moving painless. I highly recommend Thank you, John

They provides very well services i am very services.. I think everyone should go with them if someone in need for movers..

In a word: WONDERFUL.

We moved to a 6th floor condo -- they had everything up there and in the correct room and our beds put together in 2.5 hrs. Professional, courteous, and all around wonderful. I HIGHLY recommend them! Love!

They completed the move with a great deal of professionalism. They worked as a team and were very efficient. They took great care with my furniture and were very pleasant to work with. They packed, loaded and transported everything and were very professional.

The company provides very good services i am completely satisfied from the services they provides. I asked to moving some of my goods, they took them 100% without any damages and stolen.
I prefer to go with them if you are in need for any movers.

finally an easy move!
I have moved many times in my life and it rarely ever seems to go as I would like/plan it too. Beckens Moving Company did everything so professionally, I was truly impressed with how everything went so smooth. The pickup was seamless, they were right on time, and very efficient. The delivery also went great, and of course, I counted all the items and made sure there were no damages

Thank you for a job well done
Everything went as planned and the crew was a pleasure to deal with. Kept us laughing the whole day! All our items were protected and arrived with no damage. We will recommend beckens company to anyone we know is moving. Once again thanks

This company shouldn't be in business. They are unprofessional, have no concept of ethics, and usually subcontract work out to companies that have no credibility and are not qualified to do your move.
I am currently working with an attorney to file a lawsuit for misrepresentation and theft of my property with this company. They really do a disservice to their profession. I have worked with Joe Cohen from the NYC office, with Victor who is their manager from the California office, they are unprofessional and unfit to be in business. Do not work with Beckens moving.

Does anyone have last names or the owner or president of Beckens or Experienced Van Lines?
