Negative Bellhop Moving Reviews
Yelp
The movers arrived on time, but they scratched hardwood floors and damaged several pieces of expensive furniture. Bellhop’s claim offer was only a fraction of the estimated loss.
Yelp
The truck showed up on time, but only one mover showed up to pack it. Bellhop did not inform the unloading team that we would be late, causing poor communication and a bad experience.
Sandra Remington, Google
Bellhop canceled our confirmed move less than 24 hours before the scheduled time because it lacked staff, leaving us to find last-minute movers.
Neutral Bellhop Moving Reviews
Yelp
Bellhops changed the crew several times on moving morning because workers called out. The team arrived on time and did a decent job, but a table was slightly cracked and the claim was still pending.
Yelp
Bellhops did not disclose that trucks were unavailable in the Birmingham area until after I received a quote. The movers may be fine, but the pricing information should have been clearer.
Carlin Barnes, Google
One mover did not show, and finding a replacement took about 1.5 hours. The workers were great, but the delay disrupted my schedule and caused billing confusion before a refund.
