              Resolved
              1.In August I contacted Bekins Moving and Storage with respect to a move from ******* to ********. Following a detailed in-house examination by a Bekins representative of the quantity of goods to be moved we entered into a contract based on the estimate provided to us. 2.Following the packing and moving detailed in house estimate we commenced the moving process by pre-positioning four vehicle loads of personnel effects, disposing of two loads with **** *** **** and gifting two table sets. We then packed our personnel clothing and effects leaving the kitchen and the breakables to the professional movers. 3.Despite our efforts the final bill was 25% higher than the estimate. 4.We can accept that an estimate is subject to change by a small margin however having the estimate differ from the final billing by a full 25 % is either incompetence on the part of the person providing the estimate or a Bekin accepted business practice. Low estimates then inordinate billing once the contract is agreed to 5.My attempts to contact Bekins went unanswered

              It is very unprofessional and disrespectful of Bekins to provide customers' confidential contact information to their contractors. The contractor contacted me to discuss a payment dispute between Bekins and themselves. I was shocked when the contractor emailed me and then called me. I did not hire the contractor, I hired Bekins. Whatever payment agreement that the contractor has with Bekins has nothing to do with the customer. It is outrageous that ********************** would counsel the contractor to call the customer to resolve the dispute. One of the many reasons why I would never recommend or ever use Bekins again. This not the way to conduct business in a legitimate manner. Warning to all, do not hire Bekins for your moving needs.

              Bekins Moving & Storage (Bekins Canada) Ltd. Response

              06/12/2023

              This client contracted Bekins for a local move. The estimate provided was concise and clear that actual time involved would determine actual charges. On the day of the move, the client was made aware of the additional time required and agreed to continue. Further, the client then re-engaged Bekins to perform additional work (not originally quoted) the following day. When it came time to settle the bill, the client avoided our calls and ultimately ended up paying the estimate only. Numerous attempts to resolve this matter were tried. Our contractor had the copy of the Bill of Lading for work related purposes and as he was privy to the client agreeing to pay the additional charges on move date (as well as the additional work performed the next day) he attempted to assist in resolving the situation. Bekins expects to be paid for services rendered as per the terms and conditions on the estimate and Bill of Lading.
