Negative BMS Moving & Storage Reviews
Michael S., Yelp
"If I could give one star I would and stay away from this moving company. They did an interstate move for me and lost two crates that never arrived at my new location. Also very deceptive price practices as the original quote I received all of a sudden went up $6,000."
Gary L., Yelp
"The move did not go well. The office staff was apparently on vacation. The crew did not show up the first day and they were late the second day. Many things were damaged. The price kept going up, finally reaching $6600."
Kathy B., Yelp
"Do not use this moving company if you care at all about your possessions. Our items were moved onto a different truck to be transported to CA without any additional padding or boxing resulting in extensive damage."
