Negative BMS Moving & Storage Reviews
Scott B, Google
None of the boxes packed by the movers were labeled by room, so I spent days figuring out what each box contained. The staff was friendly, but the packing created major problems.
Carey J, Google
We had an entire pallet missing, including a couch and keyboard. After numerous calls, it took six days to hear back from a supervisor.
Travis Andrews, Google
The sofa was essentially destroyed, several large items were damaged, and some boxes appeared lost. After I reported it, communication largely stopped.
Neutral BMS Moving & Storage Reviews
Monica Beachler, Google
Michel and Mary were very kind. Items were completely mislabeled, with toilet brushes and cleaning supplies packed with couch cushions in a box labeled kitchen.
Stephen Harrell, Google
The team worked incredibly hard in rain and cold, but several items were damaged, beds were assembled incorrectly, and excessive paper was used for small items.
Jason Hirzel, Google
Packers were polite and quick, but they threw food and laundry items together without care. The movers were efficient and respectful.
