Negative Bellhop Moving Reviews
Zach Oldham, Google
Crew no showed, and support contacted me four hours after the job was supposed to start. They then billed me for canceling a rebooking I never confirmed.
Raja Haddad, Google
Two months later, I get an email informing me that they charged an extra $900 to my card without even my approval or heads up.
M C., Yelp
Damaged and Lost Items exceeded $8,000 in value. Bellhop refused to cover that. They require you to consent to absolve Bellhop from blame before looking at a claim.
