Negative BMS Moving & Storage Reviews
Will Chill, Google
The packing job was completely careless. Boxes were thrown together without proper wrapping or padding. When my shipment arrived, multiple items were broken, furniture was scuffed, and some boxes looked like they had been dropped.
Jessica McQuagge, Google
The company did not treat my items with care and they did not bring a large enough truck to fit everything. One of the boxes was missing completely. Our household goods were finally delivered, with damaged and missing items.
Colin McHugh, Google
It has been a month since my belongings were supposed to be delivered. Horrible communication with informing me of the status of my belongings. I am still waiting for my delivery.

The packers were quick and did a good job labeling everything and they came on time. The drop was a nightmare. Multiple items were damaged.
N T, Google
Julie and Tatiana did a wonderful job. They packed everything very fast, but it made unpacking frustrating. My tool chest was emptied completely, and items were broken and parts are missing.
Jennifer Huff, Google
The movers were really nice and professional. They dropped my solid wood headboard and broke one of the columns. They also bent the front piece of my Nordatrack treadmill.
