      Morning of 2/28/2024 Bekins Northwest sent workers to my house to pack my belongings for a move. They are contracted under the government to take up to 2 days if necessary to pack. I told them I had probably a 2nd days worth of things mostly in plastic tubs in my garage. They called their manager and insisted they would only pack 1 day. During this time one of the packers, a ******************************** slammed a stack of boxes on my upstairs floor and now my living room window leaks water inside my house.

      Unfortunately there is no opportunity to leave less than 1 star for Bekins Northwest. They showed up for an estimate in mid May - promised pickup and delivery at the beginning of June. They then proceeded to push our move week by week until finally they agreed for the first week in July. We called them a couple of days prior to the moving date. The Bekins Northwest office had never even heard of us and we were not even in the system. They then promised pickup on a week later and finally picked up our furniture. They never sent us our contract. They delivered mid July and showed up with no labor. A young driver with one arm and an older man showed up to deliver my 83 year old mothers's extremely heavy furniture. She lives alone. We had to hire all of the labor to deliver the furniture out of pocket that morning. They then proceeded to charge us thousands of dollars over the initial agreed amount with reductions for delivery over a month late and not providing labor for the move. I have everything carefully documented. Never have I seen such unprofessionalism in a company in my life.

      We, as a professional business with over 120 years in the industry, encourage our customers to share their experience. We have a strong reputation for providing quality service.

      When issues arise, we act immediately to resolve them quickly and effectively. As we have discussed, an internal error resulted in your shipment being delayed. When we became aware of the issue, we responded immediately to schedule your shipment on the next available driver. We discussed the expected delivery window, and delivered early in that delivery spread. 

      You have noted on several of the reviews you have posted about your experience that the driver showed up with no help.  Our driver is a fully qualified professional that showed up with the help necessary to perform the delivery. We verified with our interstate carrier, ************************, who confirmed the driver had labor there.

      Your misleading accusation that we collected thousands of dollars more than the contracted amount is untrue. The binding estimate of $8447.23 was collected by the our interstate carrier consistent with the contract that was signed . This was a binding estimate with the cost documented fully in several documents you received including the Bill of Lading. We are happy to provide that documentation to you again should you need it.  There was no attempt to collect any other funds. 

      We have made several attempts to contact you. You have not responded to our messages. At this point, we feel we have responded professionally and in full.
