Shady company. The only company out of 10 that I have contacted to get a quote for the move that outright refused to provide unless directly by telephone, which is for a non English speaker and full time working person is extremely horrible to do. No one had an issue to provide the $ I have contacted via email except them even after communicating all details and explaining the situation. Almost like they have to hide something and do not want to be transparent with their charges. It was highly recommended in our immigrant group but I will make sure to warn off the rest after this experience.

I can't recommend Bekins highly enough -- we made the move from interior BC to rural Australia and the Bekins team was intelligent, respectful and supportive the entire time.We engaged them 8 months before we actually moved (delay was due to visa issues on our end) and they had great communication during the entire limbo period.When it came time to finally pack up house, the movers were so knowledgeable and professional, offering advice as to what can/can't go to Australia and what shouldn't go even though its allowed because it could extend the quarantine time or have the potential to damage property and not be covered by insurance.Once things were packed and shipped, I had excellent insight as to the whereabouts of our goods and estimated delivery dates.I'm so happy we went with Bekins! If we have to move back across the Pacific again, I wouldn't hesitate to engage them again!

We did hire Bekins to move our household from British Columbia to Poland. After reading reviews of many different moving companies ( Bekins had actually good ones),we expected some problems, complications etc. Nothing like that! Great service, starting with Michael Knight (moving coordinator), the packing crew did amazing job and the delivery of our stuff in Poland ( arranged by Bekins ) was first class! We would highly recommend Bekins to anyone!!!

Update: I had paid extra for Bekins to crate a marble table. When the movers on the US side of the border opened the crate we discovered the table had not been secured. It was just floating around in the crate. Do yourself a favor and find another company for your move.

I am very happy with Bekins World Wide.They moved me from Vancouver, B.C. to Glasgow, Scotland. I opted for the the shared container service which did take a while to arrive in Glasgow but I was made aware of this when they quoted me. Also, the crew that picked up furniture were fantastic.

I had a great experience with Bekins. They helped me with a move from Canada to the US and it was incredibly painless and quick. Michael from the Surrey office was particularly great in managing and organizing all the millions of logistics that came along with the move. I would recommend these movers to anyone!

Bekins was fast to respond and provided a clear quote for service from Vancouver to Europe. I declined the insurance as the cost was significant and I understood the risk of doing so. The packers when they arrived were fast and courteous and appeared to do a good job. I was not present but received good reports. The updates during transit were delayed but I always received a reply but only if I initiated contact, and the goods arrived within (just) the window provided at the start. When I got to unpacking a six foot long mirror with tremendous sentimental value, however, I noticed it had been put in a box and not properly crated. It had also very clearly been dropped. Needless to say the mirror had been smashed. The cost of replacing the mirror (if we can find one) is less than the cost of the insurance. My concern is more that packing with care was supposedly part of the service and Bekins refused to discuss their lack of proper packing and care. My tale is more one of advice to be very clear and get, in writing, the packing expectations as Bekins proved their lack of care is part of their service.

Don't be pressured by their tricks! I purchased international shipping from UK to Vancouver and the company I hired in the UK chose Bekins World Wide Moving (based on Surrey, BC) to deliver to my home location. However, when the items arrived, Bekins called me and claimed that they quoted the UK company for delivery up to 1 mile radius from their warehouse, and then tried to extort additional fees from me for collection ($900 to transport to Sechelt from Surrey) and threatened to charge storage fees ($60/day) if I didn't accept the fees or collect the items myself. I contacted the UK company I hired and they agreed with me and a dispute started between the two companies. Eventually, a compromise was reached where Bekins agreed to deliver to an address in Vancouver, so I had to rent a van and come and collect my items from Richmond. I don't think the moving company I hired will be using them again and I certainly won't.

I got my stuff shipped from Seattle. YCR freight told me to go downtown to clear it and these people said clear it at the border. The manager Scott basically yelled at me, since I went downtown based on the first piece of documentation they gave me (which I did not even stamp btw). I have not met a bigger asshole in all of Canada. Stay away from this place. F**king piece of shit.

Bekins worldwide moving did such a great job with our move. The move was well organized and very efficient. The movers did a great job taking care of us and our family, and the management team was easy to deal with and responsive to our needs. I would highly recommend this company to all our friends and family!

Belkins helped us pack up and move out of our old home just after we had our second child. They were incredibly friendly, helpful, and efficient. They then stored our items and delivered them to our new location. The entire process was smooth and without issue. We would strongly recommend to friends and family to use Belkin for any moving needs.

The team at Bekins kept me constantly informed of changes to my delivery schedule (it was a fairly complicated international move), and ensured that all relevant documentation was promptly collected to prevent hiccups with customs clearance. The delivery crew was prompt, courteous, efficient, and accommodating. I would highly recommend Bekins to anyone.

Haven't used them but driving home today going south on 176 a Bekins 5 ton Moving truck accelerated from gas station across my path. If I hadn't started slowing down I would have hit him.,he could have waited, he was in a hurry and crossed three lanes (he hit the gas and the truck actually shook as it took off) at once to get into lane going east on 32. It was at 7:05pm on Feb 24, do if you had stuff in his truck and it is damaged then you know why
