In their own words
Do not Use this company. Check out the BBB website. Terrible service from Bellhop. Jennifer Penn will not get back to me, when she offered a laughable settlement. Movers from Jacksonville were terrible and unprofessional. Their preparation for moving my items was like a toddler trying to put his toys away. Broke glass, scratched tables, broke my portable heater base, chipped furniture and a box has gone missing with an iPhone and my medications.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We're sorry to find out that you had a negative experience with Bellhop. We take our customer feedback seriously, and we would appreciate it if you could provide us with more details about what went wrong so we can improve our services at [email…
I would give this company negative stars if that were at all possible. I wish you were right to think I'm being dramatic. But the experience was nightmarish, causing more angst and wasting more time than if I were to move everything myself. Don't be confused, this company is a broker/middle man. They contract their drivers and movers with little to no quality control. You don't know what you're going to get and clearly neither do they. So about the move. I was initially given a 3-4 hour window. The driver arrived.
Hi Ryan, we are very disappointed by this poor experience from last month for you and your roommate. This quality of service is not typical for us, and we appreciate your willingness to work with us through this difficult situation.
Bellhops provided a HORRIBLE moving experience. On the date of my original move the only person to arrive on time was the driver. The first bellhop arrived an hour late and the second bellhop didn’t arrive until an hour before the move was to be completed. On that day they did a “limited move” which involved only getting the bare essentials to my new residence. On the day we rescheduled the move to be completed I received a phone call 1 hour before the move was to start informing me that their driver quit.
Hi Marsalis, we are very disappointed by this poor experience from last month for you and your roommate. This quality of service is not typical for us, and we appreciate your willingness to work with us through this difficult situation.
DO NOT USE THIS SERVICE! UNRELIABLE! CANCELLED DAY OF. I booked bellhop for a move from downtown to the east side of Cleveland. The initial experience online was easy and customer service was very pleasant. I did receive a call from the movers a few days in advance confirming Services. What was NOT made clear as that this company is contracting private movers and trucking companies to the job, Not Bell Hop specific truck, driver, or movers.
We sincerely apologize for the frustration and inconvenience you experienced with your move. We completely understand how stressful moving can be, and we regret that we were unable to complete your move as scheduled.
**** BEWARE *** BELLHOP MAY END UP SCREWING YOU OVER. I booked through Bellhop’s website a few days before my move as it advertises itself as an option for last minute moving services. The order was confirmed and I was sent a contract which I executed the day prior to the move. Approximately 2.5 hours before my scheduled start time, I received a message from Bellhop stating they did not secure a team and asked if they could reschedule the move for 5 days later.
Hi Michael. We are deeply sorry to hear about this experience, especially given how stressful moving already is. Our team tried our absolute best to find movers for your job, but unfortunately, due to the high volume of month-end bookings, we were ultimately unable to secure a team for you.
Our movers were slow moving only our furniture from one apartment to another 1 mile apart. My wife and I had moved everything except what we were not able to carry prior to our big moving day. The movers were quite nice, however, and pleasant to work with. The worst part about Bellhops comes after the move actually happened. My wife and I went over to our old apartment to cover up and Magic Eraser any dents or dings on the walls and we were greeted with a deep gouge into a door.
BEWARE OF BELLHOP!! I booked a labor only move which did not require a truck because I was moving from the 2nd floor of my apartment building to the 3rd floor. I was not told that moving equipment was not provided and that I would need to provide the moving equipment for my move during the sales call. What company makes the customer provide moving equipment for a move they are paying for?!?! I have NEVER heard of such thing!! The drivers left without completing my move and left my bedroom a MESS!
I signed up for service approximately two weeks ago. I've paid them at least $800 and nothing has been moved. Not a single. Pencil. Has been moved. They claim that they came during the scheduled time, which they did not, and I waited most of the day. They never showed up. They canceled my order but kept my money. I then proceeded to try and reach them for a week and A half with no luck. Surprisingly they pick up the sales line but do not pick up the service line.
Hi Max, Thank you for sharing your feedback, we're truly sorry to hear about your experience and understand your frustration. To clarify, our team originally arrived on May 18th as scheduled, but the move had to be rescheduled because the items were not move-ready at that time.

In their own words
Very professional team. They were on time, prepared and worked quickly. Everything was wrapped well and the team was communicative. They disassembled and reassembled furniture as I needed. I would definitely use Bellhop again, and especially I would use this particular team (Kelsey Holmes, Armand DiPuccio and John Baker) again if I ever needed to.
Thank you for the awesome review, Daniel! We're so proud to have wonderful moving pros like Kelsey, Armand, and John on our team. We wish you the best as you settle into your new home!
Good price. My moving team in Cleveland with team lead Solomon was professional, prompt, patient, and very friendly. However my unloading team was the opposite, so seems to be very variable.
Tori, thank you for sharing your experience with us! We're so glad we got the chance to help out with your move. We will be making sure to continue to improve in order to have greater moving experiences with the best consistency.
All of the thanks to our Ohio team: Mateusz Ziarno (team lead), Kelsey Holmes, John Baker. Like the team that loaded our stuff in Atlanta, Mateusz, Kelsey, and John were excellent. They were on time, professional, and treated our stuff with care. They managed to get all of our heavy book boxes, bookcases, a bunch of furniture and a large sofa into the new place. They were so careful with our stuff and made sure everything ended up in the right place. Like Atlanta, the Ohio guys were also so nice and friendly.
Thank you so much for choosing us to help you move, J. A.! We appreciate you and are so glad that everything went well.
My bellhops, Liviu and Julian, were phenomenal! They were very friendly, careful, and professional. My move was totally stress-free. I would recommend them to anyone! More specifics: I say there were professional because of their communication and care. They actually read the fragile labels and took note of what’s inside the boxes so they were handled appropriately. They were also very efficient and got the move handled a lot quicker than expected. They were very clean and didn’t smoke.
Thanks for such a kind review, Joshua! We truly appreciate the kind words. I am glad the team was able to show you how stress-free moving can be with the help of our teams.
