Negative Belfor Moving Reviews
Gustavo S., Yelp
Four days prior to my moving date the moving company changed the estimate and increased the minimum fee by 50% and was not willing to do either an in-person or virtual walk-thru.
Tony B., Yelp
The crew finally showed up at 8:40AM with their coffees and breakfast. I called about the second crew and was told they were not coming. They finished at 8:00PM.
Simon B., Yelp
They promised delivery on July 13th, plus or minus one day, but the driver arrived July 10th while we were away. Belfor ignored our calls, so my mother-in-law drove six hours to open the house.
Neutral Belfor Moving Reviews
Carol T., Yelp
The team that arrived to load everything was courteous and efficient. My only concern was the timeliness of my furniture arriving and the lack of communication; I had to call or email repeatedly for updates.
