Yelp
Their communication was excellent from the moment I scheduled the moving date and time until the last box was brought in. They were extremely friendly and efficient in loading and unloading.
Negative Bellhop Moving Reviews
The only reason I'm giving 2 stars is because the 1 mover who showed up was great. I booked 2 movers for the 2 hour minimum. When he arrived, I was told they couldn't send anyone. Communication has been terrible.
Yelp
The loading team was THREE HOURS late. Communication was terrible across the board, and I had to call multiple times for updates.
Yelp
As for the promised $150, while they did refund my deposit, that money has never shown up on my credit card.
Neutral Bellhop Moving Reviews
I was told the team would use protective covering; they didn't, and they randomly threw my items on truck. I tried checking on the status of my move but could not get any answers until the driver arrived.
Meisam Amjad, Google
They were nice people, but they were 3 hours late and slow, and I ended up paying extra because of it. Not fair!
