This moving company packs and moves your possessions. They disassemble and break things and don't reassemble, regardless of the full move agreement signed. They also do NOT do insurance claims as listed on the agreement. They give a difficult time even giving the documents for the claim and then just say the insurance hasn't gotten back to them every time. It's been 2 years and they're still saying this. The insurance is fraud at this point.

Looking at all these poor reviews I would never use this company. Furthermore they don’t understand how the do not call list works and made an unsolicited call. Now if they can’t abide by a simple thing like that, how are they suppose to be trusted to move you?

Do not use this company! Over a year later, I am still dealing with the repercussions. After meeting with many moving companies, Richard, the owner, promised to take off $300 of the moving cost to compete with other companies' prices. He made additional promises, including 1 month of free storage and $495/month thereafter. He did not live up to these! We moved out of our house on July 30th. Around August 10th, I was hit with a $925 bill on my credit card. When I called Richard, he explained that my "free" month was July (I only had my stuff there for TWO days!) and said he would have "never agreed to $495". Fast forward to November, I give him a call, again, to let him know my house will be ready post-Thanksgiving. Richard agrees to November 29th, but when I call to confirm two weeks in advance, he claims he's too "backed up" and it will need to be moved to December. Because this is his doing, I tell him he better not charge me for storage again. He still does! Every week since mid-December I have called him about the $300 he promised. The excuses are laughable.

I have to re-review this - Moved my whole house and furniture and packed great people - great company I’d recommend ✅first time great - this second time charged me as much for 2 days as with only 2 helpers - as he charged for 5 helpers to pack my whole house for 3 days. Broke a mirror and dented my brand new wood floors with damage of approximately $5000 and I will have to get an attorney involved because Richard doesn't care. His supervisor laid on my front porch for literally 6 hours I called Richard and he said don't worry he'll be fine then he actually charged me for the guy to lay down on the job - he charged my card the first day and I thought fine that wasn't so bad no contract no written anything - then that night he double charged me I called him and he tried to justify it - unbelievable. NO do not use Beattie Moving unless you want awful service with no care in what they do. I was also told only 1 day but since the supervisor laid down on the job the two other guys couldn't get it down - I had someone come help them that Richard didn't pay or give me a credit for without the other guy helping it would have never gotten done - the two other guys did a good job but it was a 4 man job so extremally poor planning on Richard's part the owner. Plus he's other excuse was he had 19 move going that day - Not sure he didn't understand each person only cares about their job. I'd say thumbs down stay clear he will rip you off.

**Scammers*** STAY CLEAR FROM THIS COMPANY!!!! THEY RIP YOU OFF. THEY PROMISE THE WORLD TO YOU THE SWEAR THEY HAVE INSURANE THAT WILL PAY FOR ANYTHING THAT IS BROKEN DURRING THE MOVE BUT THAT IS NOT TRUE. My mom who is older used them to move and I was there during the entire transaction, but they took advantage of an elderly couple!!! My father asked them several times this will be the entire cost for the move, and he said yes. Once it was time to deliver their stuff, they hit them with another cost and doubled the amount it was originally. My poor parents were so distraught because they were holding their belongings hostage. On top of that they damaged so many things and was not able to replace the items or repair them because they don't have any type of insurance like they claim. My mom was very stressed from the beginning because they had very expensive things in the house. They broke her $10,000 Bernina sewing machine among a lot of other things. And a few other expensive things and refused to fix or replace them!!! I WOULD NOT RECOMEND THEM UNLESS YOU WANT ISSUES LIKE THIS. How ironic that their only 5-star review is from person with the same last name! I wish I would have looked at their reviews before my parents used them, But I met the owner and his wife and they were very nice and really took us to the bank. (They emptied my parents bank is what they did)

THE WORST MOVING COMPANY EVER!!!Beattie is a THIEF! Original cost to move from St. Cloud to Gainesville was $5600 plus $700 per month for storage. Beattie told us we would pay Hal of the $5600 when they picked up our furniture and the remaining amount once it was delivered. That wasn’t the case. Beattie wanted the total amount up front. We had our furniture in his storage for 2.5 months. He charged us $850 a month including our half last month. Before my furniture was delivered he demanded we pay another $5600. He was holding our furniture hostage and he kept charging our credit card the $850 for storage. Once our furniture was delivered, piece of furniture was broken, scratched and nicked. Our white leather sofas had mold. I’m totally disgusted with them! Don’t use them!

DO NOT..DO NOT...DO NOT use this company! The owner will definitely come in with the low bid to get your business. He will even promise you every third month free (in writing) and then not live up to what he wrote. He will quote you a certain price and at his discretion will go up on the monthly fee without notification! Will insist that you have a credit card on file and will charge your card whenever and for whatever amount he deems fit. I had to "lock" my card to prevent unauthorized charge. The company would charge my card twice in the same month and when confronted about it the owner would get indignant over the phone. My furniture was supposed to be stored in a climate controlled unit (another tactic to get your business) and once my items were delivered some were either missing, severely damaged, and many items had mold spores growing on them! Absolutely the worst experience I've ever had with a moving company. I've had to get rid of some items because of the mold and mildew growing on them. Believe me, the quote you're given at the time you sign the contract is nowhere near what you'll pay to have your furniture delivered, he will add additional charges to your bill that were never discussed in the beginning of the process. He will talk a good game to get your business but once you're hooked hold on for the ride of your life! Really don't know how this guy manages to stay in business, very corrupt and dishonest in my opinion.

They are terrible!! Do not use this moving and storage company. Th owner seemed very nice and professional until we signed the contract to move and store our items. They added an extra surcharge for fuel that he never quoted me for. Their mailer claimed to be A rated with better business bureau and they have no ratings with them. We stored our items until our new house was ready and the day we were scheduled to move they canceled on us!! My husband and I had to sleep on an air mattress that night. Our tv was broken and many other items were damaged and missing and the fee was more than I was originally quoted. Please make sure you check reviews online before hiring anyone. I made that unfortunate costly mistake with this company...

a week before our move, and 3 days before, i confirmed with him, and he said all set, 2 days before the move, he texts me saying he can not do the move. No contingency plan and never followed up. Extremely unreliable. I would not recommend at all.Service: Local moving

Poor service, overall no care in handling your stuff.. damaged several items due to lack of proper care and packaging, including a 100 year old painting by my grandfather. His comment was get it repaired and send me the bill and I’ll reimburse… almost a year now and no $$$.

Do NOT use this company! First, one of his workers broke into my locked jewelry cabinet and stole several pieces of jewelry. I informed the owner who said it wasn't his problem. The owner changed the payment terms on the day of the move. After I made a payment it was as if I was dealing with a completely different person. The movers broke several pieces of furniture and generally don't care about your belongings. After the move started, the owner was very rude and mean with me. To this day they still haven't returned several items which include a leaf blower and step-ladder which they took. So, don't use this company unless you want your items stolen, broken, and missing!Services: Senior move

What a nightmare! They were very careless and rough with handling the move. A lot of my furniture, lamps, personal belongings,etc... were damaged. They'll just throw your crap into your new home wherever and could care less. One of the guys kept taking weed breaks and stunk up the whole neighborhood. When I attempted to bring it to the owner's attention he was extremely unprofessional and hostile. It's been a year and I'm still finding damage. Trashy people with a trashy work ethic.
