Yelp
Bellhops was very communicative so we knew what could do to help in advance, who our movers were, and what went into our fees.
Yelp
They made sure to check in with me multiple times to confirm things for my move before the move itself. The cost of it was great.
Negative Bellhop Moving Reviews
Yelp
They first sent a two person team with a small van, but they could not complete the move. The next day, the movers never showed up after hours of phone calls.
Yelp
The movers were an hour late, didn't have supplies, and took zero care for items. Furniture was permanently damaged, claims came days late, and I was still charged.
Yelp
Our movers turned out to be three high school kids who had rented a U-Haul. They dragged new couches, crashed nightstands into doors and railings, and damaged every piece of furniture.
Neutral Bellhop Moving Reviews
Yelp
One of my bags (jewelry) didn't make it off the truck. The Bellhops team is investigating, hopefully, my bag is recovered.
Yelp
It's a cheap moving service and you get what you pay for. The movers were courteous and wore masks, but they had no moving equipment and dragged items down the hall.
