Main Street Movers

Not sure if Main Street Movers (Bekins) are the worst movers on the planet but they are up there on the list. What a scam! The moving crew came in like the blitz with men they clearly picked up off the street to do the packing. We couldn’t be everywhere to watch what was going on and believe me in retrospect they count on this. Inexperienced packers placed a Murano glass mirror in a picture box along with 2 televisions and a guitar. Of course this was a catastrophe but who knew until the boxes were unpacked many weeks later on the receiving end. We moved from NY to Florida and since our street in NY could not accommodate a tractor trailer truck we needed shuttles which involved having our belongings being transferred from shuttles to the large tractor trailer truck. This is a recipe for disaster. So much of our stuff went missing that months later I’m still discovering losses. But did the company care. No. At first complaint, the woman owner, of Main Street Movers feigned sympathy by trying to relate to my broken Murano glass mirror but when I said I was suffering from the loss of memorabilia ie. my grandmother’s heirlooms I’d inherited that her “employees” had either misplaced or taken, she told me rather emphatically that I didn’t know what suffering was and she did since her husband had prostate cancer. Seriously, this from a business woman. Sorry for your situation but I, have my own share of suffering that I did not care to go tit for tat with her. I know for a fact that they pull their workers off the street because one of the unpackers on the Floridian end is a local handyman. He does not work for Bekins or Main Street Movers. He is independent. I’ll give them credit by saying he was far superior a human than the scummy people who packed up on the NY end. No matter how professional Main Street appears under the guises of Bekins movers they are far from it. We took out extra insurance which didn’t help us at all. The company comes in and out like the blitz and by the time you know you have losses it’s too late to prove it. Stay away. They probably pay to remove unfavorable reviews.
