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.
Neutral Bellhop Moving Reviews
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.
