Yelp
"Absolutely terrible experience in June 2021. One mover didn’t show. Then damage to my wall, wrong tools, and extra charges. Customer service unhelpful. Would never recommend."
Yelp
"Very disappointing! Movers broke items while loading and transfer. Some furniture arrived dirty. Was charged extra $1000 and long wait to talk to someone."
Andrea Braykovich, Google
"After booking, Bellhops wasn't able to find a crew, so they needed to move my immovable move date to 2 days later. I was left scrambling with less than 48 hours until I needed to move."
Neutral Bellhop Moving Reviews
"While the process of working with Bellhop was a bit convoluted, they did outsource the services to a very competent local moving company. My main issue...contract had incomplete information. Didn't feel secure. Next time I'll book directly."
