Make sure that you get in writing, the estimate and the directions needed for the move. I was quoted an estimate that doubled due to a miscommunication that resulted in them taking longer than necessary to pack my items. Be aware that they will use multiple $20.00 wardrobe boxes and fill them with items that are not clothing. Be aware that when you express your concern with the owner, you will be told that if you wanted it done cheaper, you should have done it yourself despite the many additional costs and time due to them not listening to what was asked of them to do in the first place. I would have given them a 0 star if I could. The manager handled the situation poorly, not calling to talk about the situation, would only text. They put the additional cost and stress of them not doing what was asked to do on me. They didn't listen to the assignment. 👎
Description of Work: During our walkthrough we discussed prioritizing the back 2 bedrooms. We opened the closets and told them to do that. The items were to go into the garage and the overflow into storage. They packed up the entire garage and left everything in the closets My Tennant asked them not to use $20.00 wardrobe boxes, yet they used multiple of these boxes and put items in that were not clothing. Terrible job

Your job doubled in cost because you had much more than what was visible during the original estimate. Room and garage were piled so high with goods that I could not even walk into to get a good look at what needed to be packed and moved. Based on what I could see I gave the best estimate I could. Day of the move once my guys could actually get into the rooms and see what was involved, my team leader texted you at 9:24AM estimating 6 to 7 hours, you failed to reply to his text message and calls so we communicated with your designated contact person on site; your tenant, who directed us to continue, nothing was mentioned about prioritizing or not packing certain things, or put this in the garage and this in storage, etc. Also once you decided to answer your phone, I let you know that the job was bigger and there was more to pack than what I originally estimated, there was no complaint, you just wanted to know how much longer the job would take, asking would it be done in 2.5 more hours and I said it should. It took 3.5 more hours but only charged you for 2.5 also we provided a fourth man for the entirety of the job at no charge, we also discounted your packing supplies. All to be kind, lessening the cost because your job was much bigger than you thought it was and you not being on site I figured you probably didn't even know for sure what your job entailed. Concerning the use of wardrobe boxes, well again because you were not available or chose not to respond to our text messages or calls, my crew leader communicated with your tenant and let her know that we can use multiple other boxes or a wardrobe box and it could save you or at least be the same cost but allow for more space in storage. Essentially you thought your job was less than it was, that you should be paying less, and tried to micromanage the process rather than accept the reality and allow us the pros to do the job without issue. And yes, for someone like you, I do recommend moving yourself. Then you can give assignments and control the whole process.

Started out great with owner and crew and then the actual move occurred. Not only did the crew not arrive on time to unload, but they showed up hours later, many family heirlooms a were broken and some items (important to me) were completely missing. Also, I was to pay the business owner half up front (of which I paid over half) and the other half when services were rendered. Then he called me the night before my move demanding payment in full when they had not even completed the job yet. Banks were closed and that was a huge inconvenience. I wound up borrowing money from friend and repaying her next morn. Owner never followed up with me on how the crew did and when I wrote him to tell him, he never responded.

[Member Name Removed] I believe the entire job went great. To address your points; arrived hours late to unload, well you failed to mention that last minute, after we were hours into the drive almost to the unload destination, you said you could not be there till days after the designated unload time, and you could not pay the balance due until some issue was dealt with. I said this is unacceptable as we are on a schedule with your job and other jobs, and had to stick to our contractual agreement. My call was after your goods were loaded and we were almost to the unload location, not before your move. I said we would have to turn around if you could not uphold your end of the agreement. This prompted you to pay what was due and allowed for the move to stay on schedule. You were a risk until I said please stick to the agreement and you realized there was no alternative. So the delay was waiting on you to handle your end of the agreement. Concerning damages and missing items, you had multiple people packing your heirlooms and other items, yet you are sure we damaged them and imply we had something to do with missing items. Many hands packed, moved and handled these items other than us, at the loading and unloading locations. I am sorry you had items damaged and missing, however I would look a little closer at those you had helping you other than us. The written letter you wrote was very accussatory and not factual. For this reason it did not warrant a response. In spite of all this, I thank you for using Bigfoot Moving Services.

Did a great job. The three guys were nice and handled themselves professionally. They had a problem with their lift gate on the way. But, they kept us informed of their progress and still made it on time.

Told they were going to be there at 1. Then got a phone call that it was gonna be 2. After 2:10 got a call it was gonna be 3. After three they said they were just leaving destin( we live in Valp). At 4 we got a phone call saying it would be another 40 minutes. Finally 5:15 they start moving. I tell them there is a detached garage when they are packing and they pack the truck to fit just the house not the garage also. So we have to be out of the house that 3 days later with no time to pay them again to move the garage. They offer next week but landlord says no. Total waist of time and money. Save your money and go with someone else. .
Description of Work: Moved a 600 square foot house and forgot to pack the garage took 5 hours to get there from quoted arrival time.

Absolutely Awesome Service! They arrived promptly, began work immediately and were very careful when moving the furniture. We had several large pieces of furniture that were involved in the move... and no walls or furniture were damaged during the move. I received exceptional service at a great price! What more could I ask? My sister thought I was crazy for hiring someone to do this move. She thought between family and friends we could do this job ourselves. She was present during the move and after seeing how much work was involved (and how quickly, efficiently and how reasonably priced they were) my sister asked them for business cards. We both agreed... if we have any future moving needs we will definitely call BigFoot Moving. Highly recommended!!
Description of Work: They moved (swapped out) two complete bedroom sets from one house to another house locally. This involved breaking down and setting up the beds in two separate homes, loading and offloading all the bedroom furniture and making sure we were satisfied with the placement of the furniture in each home.

A crew of three showed up: Marshall, Dustin and Eddie! They were relatively punctual but had already given me a 'heads-up' phone call that they would arrive a little later than the appointed hour. When they did arrive, all three crew members introduced themselves to me accompanied by a hearty handshake! I walked through with house with Marshall discussing the packing 'plan.' Then they got right to work. They divided and conquered! The job took the crew of three about 1.5 hours. They were careful, diligent, quick and efficient! At my request, they rearranged some other items in my garage to make enough room so my car could fit into the garage along with all the new boxes. These guys were very customer focused and really cared about doing the job right. I highly recommend this moving company as they do excellent work at a very fair price.
Description of Work: I'm in the process of getting new wall-to-wall carpeting throughout my house. Big Foot's packers / movers came to my house to pack up my 'breakables' and other household items and move the boxes into my garage.

Description of Work: With only three days notice, they showed up at the promised time and moved a very heavy, bulky sectional sofa (2 pieces) and coffee table from an upstairs, corner bedroom into a moving truck. They were very efficient and professional and I will definitely used them again in the future.

Was going to meet the movers at storage units Friday at 4. They called at a little over 3 and were just leaving Destin. Due to traffic they did not arrive until 5. With my help we made quick work of the loading and moving other furniture into one storage unit. Trip to Gulf Breeze wasn't bad for rush hour. My home is on pilings so everything is upstairs. Guys went to work and completed the unloading in about an hour. Asked if they would mind bringing one more piece of furniture that I had on the ground floor to the third floor. Even at 7pm after the long day they had, they accepted and carried a large dresser from ground floor to third floor. Very happy with the service provided and the price.
Description of Work: Moved household furniture and goods from storage units in Pensacola to Gulf Breeze. Took remaining not needed furniture and combined to use only one storage unit.

Awesome moving company. My husband and I have never used a professional moving company before and were dreading the ordeal. But, of my goodness, the owner, Mick, was wonderful and the movers, Tim and Carlos, were fabulous. These guys are a joy to work with. They are polite, thoughtful, and respectful. We felt like we were being moved by family.

I found Bigfoot Moving Services from Angie's list and I had also seen their truck driving around town. They were very prompt. Easy to work with and schedule my moving services. They took great care with all my items. They were quick and efficient for a local move. I was very impressed with how well they were able to get everything packed and unpacked. I would absolutely use them again and they were a great value for the money that I paid. They made my move less stressful than I expected and took great care of all of my items. Highly recommended!!

Description of Work: They moved my small amount of furniture inside the local area. |The two man team was pleasant and efficient. |Regrettably three out of five pieces of office furniture was gouged or damaged beyond simple repair due to the dolly cart and vehicle organization techniques. |All in all a good move, just more damage than I expected for a small move.

They were amazing. They finished packing up all areas we didn't have time to do ourselves, including the fragile china, and moved us within the time frame they estimated. Nothing was broken. The were professional and responsible, showed up on time and with the right size crew for the job. They made the move as stress free as possible.

My experience with Bigfoot started before I booked the service. I sent Mick an email with my request. I was both surprised and pleased with his quick response. We spoke, set the move up and I couldn't be happier with my choice in moving companies. He arrived to both locations on time. He was extremely polite and I was completely confident in his ability to take care of my cabinet. I would definitely use Bigfoot again, in fact I asked for some business cards so I can give them out to friends and family.

Description of Work: I learned about Mick through Angie's list and I can only say - Thank you!! They were everything you look for in a moving company and I'm truly happy. There were no 'hidden' fees, which I appreciated. So many companies offer low prices and then 'nickel and dime' you. Not Mick. His assistant, Blaine, was a super hard worker and they finished my move in under 4 hours.

They worked hard from the time of arrival until job was done. They did not waste time. They were pleasant and took us the customer in consideration. Price was reasonable. We were so in need of moving help and relieved to find it locally. To find a company that does what it is designed to do was refreshing. Thank you Angie's List for having them on your web site. All worked for us. |C. Mills | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Bigfoot moving was very easy to work with and we had good communication with them throughout the move. They used a three man crew for our move and all of the guys were outgoing and professional. The original time quote was within an hour of what the job actually took, I know it would have been faster but the second floor storage unit really slows down the process as I learned when I moved our goods into the unit. Everything was packaged good and moved into our house without any broken or damaged items. I would use Bigfoot again.

Mick Minnis is the owner and heart of this wonderful moving service. He was very responsive to my calls and very knowledgable about his business. They have all the equipment they would ever need and overall they were the hardest working bunch of movers I have ever had the pleasure to encounter. I saw extreme care for every piece of my furniture as well as care for the walls and doors of the homes. And although I was hesitant to use a company that charges by the hour, this crew demonstrated great stewardship for my money and I could hardly get them to slow down long enough for a drink. They were even great about having to come back another day. To finish because I had underestimated how much "junk" I had. This move actually cost less than most "flat rate"estimates I got. Definitely recommend them!
