DO NOT USE BAYSHORE! DO NOT TRUST BILL HAYWOOD!
I had the worst experience moving with Bayshore and dealing with Bill Haywood. I have moved across the country 4 times, and this was undoubtedly the worst and most stressful moving experience of my life.
Below is my experience:
My move was confirmed to pack on a Tuesday and move the following day. Even though Bayshore called me 3 times to confirm my move, I found myself waiting for 2 hours after the confirmed showtime on pack day. After calling, I could not get any help from their support; they had no idea what was going on. So, I sat in my apartment on my moving day with no update or solution. Finally, 6 hours later, they called me and said they would pack the following day. Knowing they would be unable to pack and move in a single day, I had to scramble to purchase & procure boxes and supplies to pack about half my apartment myself. Finally, after persisting 5 times with customer support, they confirmed a larger team the following day. My wife and I stayed up till 2am packing what we could, and the next day the packers and movers were barely able to finish on time (even with half the apartment already packed).
A week later, when the invoice was sent, I called Bill for an explanation and breakdown of the costs. He was unable to speak to the contract, completely blew me off, and sent me an outdated contract that was incorrect. After calling him back, he proceeded to argue with me and still could not explain the invoice because again, he was looking at an outdated copy. Finally, 2 days later, someone else was able to send me the most up-to-date contract and invoice for the move. Quite frankly, Bill Haywood is a slimy used car salesman in my opinion.
When my stuff arrived at my new destination, I had issues again. The driver was 1.5 hours late from his confirmed time. Then, he parked his massive 18-wheel truck on our narrow street and informed me the movers would show up in 15 minutes. They finally showed up 2.5 hours later. He never moved his truck and created problems on the street. Again, customer service was unhelpful delay after delay, and they could not provide me with any updates and solutions. Finally, the movers showed up and started 4 hours later than planned.
Do yourself a favor, DO NOT book with Bill Haywood or Bayshore.
