Review Analysis

Bellhop Moving earns applause for a fast, friendly approach and professional teams who arrive on time and move efficiently. Most customer feedback highlights courteous staff and careful handling of belongings, with many appreciating the clear communication and flexible scheduling. Bellhop’s process also stands out as easy to book and often more affordable than competitors. Despite many satisfied customers, some report late arrivals or cancellations, with complaints about poor communication and damaged items. Delays tend to upset clients most, especially when paired with lack of updates or unresolved support issues. Compared to other moving companies, Bellhop rates high for energetic, polite staff and speed, but reliability and damage handling fall short in a notable share of experiences. Out of 339 reviews analyzed, 77% were positive, showing Bellhop frequently delivers on swift, professional moves but needs to improve dependability and communication.

Review Analysis

Word gets around quickly about companies that blend fast work with real care. Our review looked at 81 pieces of feedback for All Pro Moving and Storage—nearly 78% described their experience in glowing terms. Clients compliment the movers' professionalism, careful handling, efficiency, reasonable prices, and willingness to go the extra mile. The staff’s respectful attitude stands out, placing All Pro ahead of many competitors in customer satisfaction. On the flip side, some people report surprise costs, inaccurate quotes, and issues with unprofessional staff behavior. A few noted major discrepancies between estimates and final bills, sometimes paying double their quoted amounts. Most clients experience smooth, reliable moves—yet a pattern of price concerns and isolated incidents of poor conduct indicate the importance of confirming a clear estimate before booking. Customers say All Pro often outshines other movers for friendliness, speed, and cost, but price accuracy can be a pitfall if not closely managed.

FAQs

What else should you know about moving out of state?

A moving company helping you move out of Colorado must be properly licensed and have a U.S. Department of Transportation number. Of course, all the Montrose movers we’ve included on this list have everything in order, but you can check for yourself on the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s database.

If you’re moving from one state to another, you’ll want to familiarize yourself with the Your Rights and Responsibilities When You Move document from the FMCSA.

Should I use a local company or a national company when moving from Montrose?

If you’re moving across town, a local moving company in Montrose is going to be the most cost-effective approach. If you’re moving out of Colorado, using a national moving company like Safeway Moving comes with more experience, which may cost a bit more.

When is the cheapest time of year to move away from Montrose?

Moving companies in Montrose are usually slower in November and December due to the holidays and kids being in school, so you can negotiate with a mover more during those months and save some money.

What are the cheapest ways to move out of Montrose?

DIY moving will always be cheaper, especially when moving within 50 miles of Montrose. The cheapest options for moving out of Montrose are usually renting a moving truck like U-Haul or a moving container like PODS. We’ve also got a helpful guide if you’re looking for the cheapest ways to move out of state.
