Equally fast and efficient as they were kind and communicative. Very thankful for this team and how they took care of our stuff and home!
Negative Bellhop Moving Reviews
In transit, almost every piece of furniture was damaged and some were completely destroyed. Bellhop offered about $750 for a claim involving bicycles worth several thousand dollars.
The movers canceled my move 10 minutes before they were scheduled to start due to a lack of employees. I had to pay for a hotel and hire another company.
Ashley Williams, Google
I paid for three movers, but only two showed up on time. The third arrived two hours late, yet Bellhop charged six hours for a three-hour estimate and paid $0.60 per pound for a broken glass table.
Neutral Bellhop Moving Reviews
Movers were professional and polite, but they were a few hours late and tried to reschedule us for another day. That's rarely an option with a planned move.
Great service and nice movers, but they dropped our dryer and didn't tell us. Bellhop wouldn't file a claim because it was outside the claim window.
Cece Jeanne (CeceJeanne), Google
The movers did a good job. The company charged three hours upfront but never adjusted the bill after the movers worked two hours and 40 minutes.
