This was the most unprofessional move I've ever seen I've used them 3 times and this was the worst move ever all our furniture was damaged the stuff they took apart they couldnt put it back together .when I asked if the furniture would be wrapped the lead guy said yeah and they only wrapped1 thing then we had to put some of the furniture in our car cause they couldnt get it on the truck because of the way they loaded the truck and we also paid for insurance that had a 300 dollar deductible and they offered 700 and…

We are deeply sorry for the extremely disappointing experience you had during your recent move. This falls far below the standard of service we strive to provide, and we understand your frustration and disappointment.

after booking 5 days in advance they had a mover no show. they never called us back and left shortly after getting to the house. horrible company DEFINITELY WOULD NOT RECOMMEND. choose a different company if you want your furniture moved.
Reply from the business

We sincerely apologize for the disappointing experience you had with our moving services. It is disheartening to hear that a mover failed to show up and that our team did not promptly address the issue or provide the necessary support.

First of all, Bellhops is not a moving company. Bellhops is an app that will arrange for a local third party to move your furnishings. This is not apparent in the advertisement and I certainly was not aware of this fact. Bellhops provides minimal insurance in the event your goods are damaged (.60/pound up to a maximum of $2000). I used them twice with good results. My last move on June 10, 2023 was a disaster.

Kenny, we appreciate you taking the time to leave a review!

Bellhops confirmed my moving appointment just to call less than 24 hours & cancel with no explanation or compensation. Offered to move to the next day, but I would have to pay an extra fee (even though it was not my fault I had to switch days). 10/10 do not recommend.

The website was very good walking me through scheduling a move. However, there were numerous things after that that didn’t work well. First, I got a bunch of marketing texts after I already confirmed my move. Second, I got multiple texts from Bellhop Moving Concierge after that from different people. I scheduled a call on one of their calendly’s and never received the call.

Max, thank you for taking the time to share your honest feedback. We sincerely apologize for the negative experience you had with Bellhop. We are sorry to hear about the repeated marketing texts and confusion with our Moving Concierge team.

Won't ever use them again. We moved with them recently and they damaged not only our house, but also most of our items. Two large pieces of furniture can't even be replaced or fixed. We paid extra for better damage insurance, so we thought it'd be fine. I sent them links to the items that we bought as well as when we purchased them. They said if we can't find an exact receipt for the items, then they will assume that they're 3 years old and therefore worth less than our deductible.

2-star Google reviewSally G.3 years ago
We were doing a long distance move from Birmingham, AL to a new state. The truck and team showed up within the time window promised and the bellhop team members did a very good job. As for the team lead, he did not seem to know how to properly pack a truck at all, let alone efficiently. Would not take direction or listen to anyone else, including the truck driver who wanted to make sure our items were secure, as he is a contracted owner operator.

Horrible, horrible, and horrible experience! First of all, my husband informed Bellhop of all the items we currently had to move into our new home which was out of state but they did not send a large enough truck for all of our items. They estimate the wrong size of truck we need and it was way off! Bellhop gave us the run around the rest of the day and finally sent an another truck out late that night.

Amy, thank you for sharing the details of your recent experience with Bellhop. We sincerely apologize that your move was left incomplete causing you to rent storage, and for the damages that occurred.

I recently had the pleasure of hiring the best movers I've ever encountered, and I cannot sing their praises enough! From start to finish, this moving company exemplified professionalism, efficiency, and a genuine commitment to delivering the best service possible. From the moment I contacted them, their customer service was top-notch. They were friendly, responsive, and accommodating, making the booking process a breeze.

Great Value for your Money! I only had about and hours worth of work and all the other moving companies charge a transportation fee in addition to and hour or two minimum rate. Bell Hops did not just the hourly rate. And the guys were super nice and professional and did a great job.

Awesome feedback, Carla. Thanks for the review!

5-star Google reviewAmanda C.5 years ago
I am so, so grateful for the entire team’s hard work. From the moment I called for the initial estimate, every person I interacted with was exceedingly courteous, professional, patient, prompt, friendly, helpful, efficient, and gracious. Shout out to Kenneth, Emma, and Rodney from the moving team, and Jacob, Christian, and Chelsea on the customer service team. Y’all were fantastic. This move was unexpected and pretty emotional for me.

Thank you so much, Amanda! I'm glad the team at HQ and your crew on move day exceeded your expectations. Moving is stressful and we do our best to help carry that for you.

5-star Google reviewSabrina3 years ago
It was time to empty our storage space and move into our new home. I priced out the company I see all the time around here and “rent your own truck and hire movers in our marketplace.” The second option’s pricing made it hard to go with the first, then we realized the estimate only included half the job - and somehow in their system the truck I had reserved wasn’t booked correctly and I was going to have to drive all over to pick up and drop it off. A friend had said she had a good experience with Bellhop.

Sabrina, thank you for taking the time to provide us with your feedback! It's wonderful to hear that the team able to provide you with a great moving experience. We'll be sure to pass along your kind words to them.
