The movers, James & Mike, were professional and efficient. They finished the job before the estimated time frame and took great care of my furniture.

Negative Bellhop Moving Reviews

Yelp

Movers broke items while loading and transfer. Some furniture arrived dirty due to inappropriate covering. I was charged extra 1000$ and received no follow-up.

Yelp

Only 3 men showed up, one left halfway through, and the 4-hour move took nearly 9 hours. My apartment and furniture were damaged, and I was charged more than double.

Yelp

The movers arrived two hours late, damaged my wall, lacked the right tools, and customer service did not resolve the issue.

The process was convoluted, though the local moving company was competent. The contract had incomplete information, and Bellhop could not update it for nearly three weeks.
