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.

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?

Any moving company helping you leave Colorado must have the proper licenses and a valid U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) number. All the Montrose movers we recommend meet these requirements, but you can verify credentials yourself through the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s database.

If you're planning a move across state lines, make sure to review the FMCSA’s Your Rights and Responsibilities When You Move guide.

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

For a move within the same city, a local moving company in Montrose will typically be your most affordable option. But if you're planning a move out of Colorado, a national provider like Safeway Moving brings more long-distance experience.

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

The moving industry in Montrose tends to slow down in November and December because of the holidays and school schedules. That means you may be able to negotiate a better rate with movers and save during that time.

What are the cheapest ways to move out of Montrose?

The most affordable way to move, especially within 50 miles of Montrose, is to go the DIY route. Your cheapest bets usually include renting a moving truck like U-Haul or using a moving container company like PODS. For more budget-saving tips, check out our guide to the cheapest ways to move out of state.
