NIGHTMARE!!!! BEWARE!!!! I scheduled Beacons last week for a move on a Monday. All packed up and ready to go. They were told to arrive at 9 am. At 8 am they showed up , an hour early. The three guys had a bad attitude the moment I met them. When they realized it was a third story move, they didn’t want to move us. The head OLD guy (over 55 yrs old), proceeded to go downstairs and call Beacons and tell them he didn’t want to move us. Beacons knew it was a third story move and every item to be moved prior to these three guys came. The old guy came back upstairs and told us he wasn’t going to move us and literally left in the truck. Now, no move what do we do? I called Beacons local office and corporate and they said the old guy had been with the company for over 20 years and they would abide with his decision. Wow! They were quite arrogant about it. Hmmm, so a driver can pick and choose what to move, never heard of this.
I called Rose Bowl Movers and scheduled a move immediately. They were awesome and hard workers and cost me 50% less than Beacons. When going with a moving company, doesn’t really matter how long they say it will take, if they send old guys with attitudes it will take you twice as long and cost you twice as much. Beacons attitude is respect the union worker, not caring about their business since they don’t own it themselves. Young energetic companies do what it takes to make your move go well, that means business to them in the future. Beacon old guys simply don’t care. What an experience.
