Two years ago they moved me from a one story to a two story with a tight staircase. This time they took me to a high rise condo without a freight elevator. Everything made it safely.
Negative BMS Moving & Storage Reviews
Paria Fakhri, Google
They broke my $1,400 chair in three places. After a month of follow-ups, the repair looked horrible, and they stopped responding to my emails and texts.
Tiffany Gillis, Google
They delayed our pickup, left many boxes behind, took three weeks to deliver them, and later we found several items missing. The company said it had no record of the items.
anthony duran, Google
I was told I paid one price, then at the end of our move was charged an additional $2,500.
Neutral BMS Moving & Storage Reviews
Chuck Fowler, Google
Great communication through the loadout, but after that communication fell off significantly. They also didn't bill at the agreed-upon rate. The driver and helpers were excellent on both ends.
Jan Kisch, Google
It was okay. Only the driver loaded my small house, so I worried about the heavy items and helped. We finished at 10:30 p.m., before my 7 a.m. flight.
ANNAJEAN -SASSY SISTER ARBOGAST, Google
The driver was excellent, but the packers were disorganized. I am still trying to find items, though there were no significant breaks. They also used wardrobe boxes for other items.
