"WORST MOVING EXPERIENCE I'VE EVER HAD!!! They broke an expensive, one-of-a-kind mirror and only offered me $50 to replace it. They drove their truck off the driveway in two different places leaving huge deep ruts in the yard and never even stopped to acknowledge their mistake."

"ETA: One wing of our Ikea Norden Gateleg Table was completely broken off as the truck was being loaded; essentially the table broke in half and is no longer usable...We received the claim settlement offer today, and it's for $90. $90 won't make a dent in replacing $258 worth of damage."

Google

"My one star goes out to the team that actually showed up to help us. Bellhop is completely detached from customer service. Better make sure nothing breaks and read the FINE PRINT of their policies because you will NEVER get reimbursed a reasonable amount to replace or repair broken items."

Neutral Bellhop Moving Reviews

"I initially gave them a glowing review the day of the move on & tipped the movers. 1 day later on Friday, we realized an expensive item was missing, 2 & 4 days after we realized that more items were missing. I spoke with a rep on Friday, Sunday, Tuesday & the following Thursday. The first expensive item was found & left on the truck & that the movers had to move other ppl & couldn’t that day. They kept contacting the truck with the same response & after calling on Thursday & speaking to a mgr we received the printer the next day, 8 days later. I was told once I told her about the other two that i would be called once they contacted the truck. Each time I spoke with them every two days, I was calling them. No one kept us updated & they showed lack of concern. They kept apologizing, but still no one was calling us back to update us. They finally sent a claim form to out & the form says .60/lb/item for reimbursement & you have to agree to terms before submitting it. We call them back & leave a message for the mgr to call us back & it never happened. I dealt with this for over a week, numerous calls, still two missing items & the policy tells us we’ll get a couple of dollars. Mgr Jay reached out a few days later & issued a settlement letter/refund that we both agreed on & mgr Nathan followed up with me to make sure it was received & wanted to go the extra mile to make sure it was taken care of. We had an issue, The mgrs went over & beyond to make sure we were satisfied! It was greatly appreciated!! Thanks again!"

"Edit: Bellhop came in and posted a reply below. While I am upgrading my review from a 2 to a 3 on my review I still wish my sons expensive bed had been properly assembled and the dirt wasn't on my bed and couch. As a customer service expert I can say that referrals from me would have been more valuable I believe someone should have called to ask about the additional damage. But, well done on the rely. I do appreciate the effort. While the movers did a good job and were expeditious but the company itself needs help in customer service area. They broke valuable curio (heavy LARGE ) and we sent the pictures in of the damage within a few minutes and I filled out a claim. I didn't hear back from them even after two emails were sent out. I called and sat on hold for over 15 minutes so I hung up and called back. A woman answered and basically said "you're claim is on hold bc you didn't send pictures in." Yes. We. Did. The movers sent them and so did I. Long story short I had to send three more follow up emails to get the report done and then they offered me $90. NINETY dollars for a huge curio cabinet. It was NOT a cheap one either. So I have had a broken curio taking up a huge corner in my house, boxes I can't unpack and now they offer me not enough to even replace it with something big enough to hold everything that was in it. I saw today that my sons bed was put together wrong and there is black stuff all over my extra couch and my bed ($1600 mattress). It will cost half the amount they offered just to get the cabinet picked up! I HAD to accept the claim because I wrote back to dispute and they STILL haven't responded and honestly I am sick of dealing with this. So, Bellhop before you write "You accepted our claim" just know it was because you have yet to respond and I have no more energy for this issue."

"I was getting quotes for moving and called them. They were pretty friendly at first. When I told them I was still getting quotes, but I would keep them in mind, they seemed to get irritated. They became very short with me and hung up. I wouldn't use the services of someone with such rude customer service."
