Negative BMS Moving & Storage Reviews
Jon M, Google
"Save yourself a headache, and read the other 1-star reviews. The load team damaged thousands of dollars in items, scratched recently refinished hardwood floors, and lost most of furniture hardware. Corporate does not care. 'File a claim' was the response I got."
Cormekki Whitley, Google
"The only good part of the move was the final delivery personnel. We were missing 25% of our items. The biggest problem was they also lost our parts box. Broken/damaged items, missing items, and poor follow-up."
Patty Ruiz, Google
"If you care about your items, and don’t want migraine after migraine, please read this. Many items left untagged, missing hardware, mislabeled boxes, and several items damaged. Worst move I’ve ever experienced."
