I used Farnsworth express to move my furniture. They assured me my furniture would be protected-it was not. This is what happened. Almost everything was seriously damaged. Mayflower/Farnsworth offered a settlement, which was half of what their appraiser said it would cost. Then they denied the entire claim/insurance forcing me to go to arbitration. After eight months of grueling documentation and dealing with lawyers, I won. It was half of what it will cost to repair things. Then I asked Farnsworth for $6,500 to help in the repair, which they refused. I told them I was going to yelp them. Their response was - people don't care what you say. I have attached five images of 125. One of the images is of my furniture the day before they took it and then damaged everything. Good luck if you use them! Read More

Run as far away as you can from this company. My move was a disaster even before they pulled into my driveway to pack my items. Earl Farnsworth charges *literally* DOUBLE all other cross country movers in the Bay Area I spoke to (at least 15 companies) and for that price tag, I expected a premium experience and I got anything but. Some of my issues: filed a parking permit for the wrong address (if you live in SF you know a parking permit is essential); sent 3 guys to pack up my 500 sq foot apartment, two of which had never packed before so it took them 7 hours to pack my stuff (I didn't have that many belongings and had packed half of my belongings myself before they arrived); upon delivery I realized these guys had no idea how to pack and half of the items on my valuables list were damaged in some way. They purposefully put my belongings in as many boxes as possible to charge me for 3 pallets: put a single wooden board in its own box, put my reusable grocery bags in their own box (I only have about 5) with stuffing, but shoved things that needed their own box into some to make it fit. Absolutely ZERO additional care or attention was given to the items I deemed high value. I cannot even put into words what a headache this move was and how many tears were shed at the hands of Earl Farnsworth. A priceless item damaged beyond the point of repair. Every box I opened and unpacked that they had done brought more tears. I have moved cross country 4 times and while each had its share of issues, all of those combined do not equal what I experienced with Earl Farnsworth. They will sweet talk you during the initial quote and you think you're in the best hands before they bamboozle you. I wish I had another company I could recommend for you, but I don't, just avoid these guys at all costs. Read More
