My original review was positive, but Bellhop charged me $700 more than the estimate and never called back after I left a message.

The truck arrived 3 hours and 40 minutes late, with no direct update. My sofa and bedframe received little protection and arrived dirty, while other furniture was damaged.

Loaders did not use the provided straps or stack boxes safely. Items tumbled during the move and damaged my furniture. Customer service refused to open a complaint.
