Prior to the move, they communicated clearly and their follow-through was excellent. The team showed up on time and carefully wrapped all of the furniture. They were friendly, courteous and efficient.
Negative BMS Moving & Storage Reviews
Michelle, Google
Once money was exchanged, for move, communication was zero. Was lucky enough for the actual independent moving company to finally connect with me and coordinate the move.
Tom Van Ausdell, Google
Our furniture sat in storage for two weeks after we relocated, and we were told the delay was because a driver quit. As I write this, we still have no furniture.
Samica Norman, Google
I was missing the part that connects the TV to the stand and the power cord. Belkin denied my claim, saying I did not disclose the missing items at delivery.
Neutral BMS Moving & Storage Reviews
Emma Rosen, Google
The movers themselves were great -professional, on time and fast. The coordinator miscommunicated important details, like wardrobe and TV boxes, causing for a less than ideal experience.
