Negative Bellhop Moving Reviews
Chantelle, Google
"While the Bellhop guys were nice and efficient, their lack of strategy and care ruined or damaged almost all furniture in the truck and several other items. Wish I would have supervised more closely. I definitely regret it."
Ciera Meade, Google
"My move was scheduled between 8-9am. At 7:51am, it was canceled. At 2pm, the truck wouldn’t arrive until 3pm. Items scratched, walls damaged, and had to help move myself. Offered a $60 refund for all the hassle."
Sherrie Thornhill, Google
"Bellhop movers damaged an antique dresser valued at 5K. I have sent 23 emails to claim and no resolution. I completed the insurance claim and was asked for proof, but still nothing. No responsibility accepted."
Neutral Bellhop Moving Reviews
Angela Wade, Google
"I'm only giving three stars because they were on time and moved quickly. The bottom line was we were quoted around $600 for a few hours of work. Damaged items and claim issues left us covering losses."
Felicia Carter, Google
"I was going to give them 5 stars originally because the movers were great. On time and precise. But I needed more time and talked to someone to add a day on and then they called and said they couldn't come."
Jennifer Stewart, Google
"The team who came Sunday morning was FABULOUS. However this was only after 3 Strikes of Scheduled move dates falling through. I will not recommend Bellhop to anyone after having to wait for days."
