Our two Bellhops arrived on time, worked quickly, and completed a challenging truck move efficiently. Communication was perfect every step.
Negative Bellhop Moving Reviews
Yelp
The truck arrived with boxes smashed and furniture improperly wrapped, leaving several items scuffed or damaged.
Yelp
We booked two movers, but no one showed. The company later said they could not assist, costing us time on a six-hour van rental.
Yelp
The final price rose by $310 from the quote. The service was fine, but the office did not explain the added cost.
Neutral Bellhop Moving Reviews
They were on time and moved quickly, but a bed rail damaged the wall, and a mattress arrived black after contact with a dirty truck.
The movers were on time and precise, but after I arranged an additional day, the company canceled without informing the movers.
The team that finally arrived was strong, polite, and professional, but three scheduled move dates fell through before the service happened.
