They truly deserve zero stars. Bellhop is horrible ! Do not! I repeat do not move with them. The third party movers they partnered with showed up late to load my truck in Atlanta and they all showed up late to unload my trunk in Kansas City. Not to mentioned they broke my dresser because they packed it wrong. They put the dresser on its side instead of just sliding it on the truck upright. No accountability. Not reliable! If you're thnking about going with Bellhop... Get somebody else to do it!

We apologize for the negative experience you had with our services. It's disheartening to hear about the issues you faced, including the late arrival of the movers and the mishandling of your dresser. We understand the frustration and inconvenience caused by these incidents.

I hired Bellhops to move me 11 miles, from one apartment to another. I contracted with them for 3 hours, which included a 26-ft truck, driver, and 2 movers . I spent 30 minutes booking the move with a female employee, on the phone, providing an in-depth list of all my goods and furniture. On the day of the move, my 3 hour move somehow was stretched into 10 hours. The team was lazy, incompetent and unsuitable to the task.

Art, we’re truly sorry to hear about your experience and understand how stressful moving can be. After reviewing your move details and speaking with the on-site team, we found that the final bill accurately reflected the scope of work completed.

I'm really having a hard time believing all of the glowing reviews considering my experience. 1. I scheduled an 8am move time and someone called two days before the move to say they didn't have enough trucks, so they'd need to reschedule me for 2pm. 2. Ten minutes before the move I was informed that one of the three movers wasn't showing up, so we wouldn't be charged for three people. Gee, thanks. 3. The movers were sweet kids, but far from professional.

HORRIBLE AND DISRESPECTFUL CUSTOMER SERVICE!! They cancelled my reservation with LESS THAN A 24 HOUR NOTICE. When I called to figure out why I was told by their rep very rudely that they "can't control people if they back out that's not our fault". They have NO policy to accommodate if your team gets sick or something comes up so you can be SOL within 24 hours or even a few hours before. Was given no alternative or accommodation besides a reschedule for 3 days later.

Katie, we're very concerned to see your review and appreciate you reaching out. Our Team is looking into this for you now, and it's extremely unusual for a reservation to be canceled unless requested by the customer.

My husband and I used Bellhops Moving for the first time and I would highly recommend that you DO NOT use them. Let me preface this statement by saying to each their own but I don’t have furniture from IKEA or Walmart. My furniture reflects the fact that I don’t have small children in the home anymore, so when we paid movers to move the heavy pieces, I had no idea that they’d damage my furniture and then not even have the decency to tell me they did before ending their services with us.

Hi Angel, we are so disappointed to learn that there were damages on your move and are eager to address this for you. We do not see a record of a move under your name, but want to make sure you have connected with our Customer Care Team to discuss your experience.

I used Bellhop to move from Dallas to Kansas City, which is considered a Long Distance Move. I booked the move months in advance since schedules can fill up quickly. I called Bellhop to change my move date (move it up a month) after trying to get ahold of my Moving Coordinator, Ben Oates, and having no luck. The woman I talked to told me since my move was a couple months out, I wasn’t important. I told her the entire reason I was calling was because I needed to change my move date to a month sooner.

Angela, we are so sorry to hear about your poor long-distance move experience. We apologize for the lack of HQ support, incomplete fulfillment, and for causing damages. We understand that you trusted us to protect your belongings and that we let you down.

1-star Google reviewCindy W.5 years ago
I would give a zero star if I could. First they changed my time from 8am to 2pm. This was very inconvenient by I was understanding. The day of moving at 2pm, there were 3 movers present but no truck. At 2:30 pm the lead mover let me know that there was not a truck coming and they would have to go rent a truck. At 4:05 they returned with a rental truck. By then it was raining and cold but they proceeded with the move.

1-star Google reviewLin K.3 years ago
Incredibly incompetent, lazy, and untrustworthy. I frankly felt like I should have been supervising these folks and really wish I had. I want to preface that I had a good experience with them 2 years ago. This time around it was a completely different story and I'm so disheartened. The movers arrived at late, but didn't scan QR code. Leader said it wasn't necessary and he'd already clocked in despite this code stating it was in fact required. They also didn't scan to leave.

I only booked a day in advance and I'd have to say the communication was excellent through and through. Here is what it was like: I booked on Friday evening pretty late in the afternoon for Saturday at 1p. I was called Saturday morning at 6:30AM by a very nice lady letting me know they wouldn't be able to find anyone for that day, so I cancelled and had to get back with my family to see what day would work best.

5-star Google reviewWhitney J.7 years ago
Ryan P., Travonte R., Jamaal L., and Dawaun J. were AMAZING!!! Best of the best! I cannot thank them enough for all their hard work and professionalism this past Tuesday! They got everything wrapped/packed and moved in 2.5 hours (less than was quoted). They even got a really difficult sectional into the basement, going through a narrow doorway and everything. Moving is hard work, but these guys made it much easier for me. Another plus, the final price was exactly what we were quoted for this move!

Whitney, thank you for sharing your moving experience with us. We hope you are enjoying your new place!

4-star Google reviewR. D.8 years ago
I recommend them. Both of my Bellhops were very nice and professional. The reason I took one star away is because the truck driver was very late and also took 4x as long as it takes to drive from origin to destination. Those two things caused me an additional hour of labor that I would not have otherwise had to incur. However, I explained this to the Bellhops office and they reduced my bill to a point where I was satisfied.

Hi R.D, thank you for taking the time to leave a thorough review and feedback. We are glad to hear you had a positive experience with your bellhops, and we apologize for the delays and issues with the truck.

Ship and Dip was the name of the team that met me. One of the young college-aged guys was very good at taking initiative and wrapping a glass top properly in storage what a previous set of movers weren't successful doing in my former apartment! They all were careful and time-efficient in loading/unloading my belongings. I really appreciate that they went above & beyond when it came to moving an existing washer/dryer set out and moving mine in.
