I cannot thank the Bellhops enough for their help with my move. They were efficient and professional, arriving right on time. They moved quickly but carefully and were accommodating and helpful.
Negative Bellhop Moving Reviews
Chloe Good, Google
I booked this move months ago and paid a deposit to secure my date. Two days before the move, I got an email that they were unable to fulfill my request and cancelled my move. I wouldn’t recommend Bellhop to anyone on a deadline.
Sebastian Zorn, Google
The bellhops arrived on time, but the truck came almost three hours later without basic moving supplies. I had to buy supplies, and a 45-minute job took four hours.

During the move, they damaged my wooden staircase while taking my Peloton downstairs. After reassembly, the Peloton did not work, and a cover piece was missing. I opened a claim for the damages.

C Senter, Google
The two young men were courteous and worked hard, but only two of the three confirmed movers arrived. Not all my items were moved into the apartment, so I had to keep the truck overnight and hire more help.
Skylar Spitzer, Google
The movers arrived on time and moved everything efficiently. They broke one cable on my Peloton treadmill and did not reassemble my standing desk properly.
Yelp
Only one of the two movers showed up due to a miscommunication. Because of the understaffing, my roommate, the driver, and I had to help move and load the truck. I was still waiting to hear how Bellhop would reimburse me.
