Bellhop stands out for its numerous offerings, including labor-only help, driver services for rental trucks or containers and dedicated trucks for long-distance moves. However, availability is limited in some areas, and service quality can vary by location. It’s better suited for standard moves than complex relocations.

HORRIBLE! My daughter paid for 3 movers and only got 2 movers, they did Not speak English which made it frustrating to communicate, they were late arriving, they did Not move all of my items, which made me have to get someone else to finish their job, they were very unprofessional especially when they knocked down one of the exit signs in the building and stood on Her furniture as they were fixing the sign, they were Not dressed with the Bellhop logo and their truck did Not have their logo either, the 3rd mover was a NO SHOW, and they DID NOT COMPLETE THE JOB THEY WERE HIRED TO DO! DO NOT HIRE THEM!!!! She should get a refund from this company! I am a Witness to all that transpired.

Bellhop is a scam do not use this company. I ordered 4 movers and a 26' truck for my move. 3 movers showed up with a small Uhaul van. I was supposed to get a discount on my reservation because I took advantage of a 10% coupon sent to me. Their team said they'd refund it after the move - never did. I also was charged MORE for additional time for the move somehow even though I did not authorize it and the reason it took longer was because of THEIR mistake. I've been reaching out for 5 days with no response. I even had to try to contact their CEO and VP of Operations on LinkedIn for help.

Unreliable, disorganized, terrible at communicating. I booked them for my cross-country move, quoted at $9000. Two days before the move, one of the moving companies they hired for my move called me asking me for information that Bellhop should have provided. It made me feel very unsettled. Night before my move, Bellhop calls me to say their driver canceled and won’t be there at 8am, but could be there at 2pm or come next day. Unacceptable as I had booked a weeks worth of hotels across the country, based on the delivery timeline they gave and I agreed upon a month prior. This resulted in me needing to find a solution for them so that a driver could come at 2pm. I got a friend arranged. Driver arrived 12:30 “because he didn’t feel like waiting until 2”, further making my end have to scramble to accommodate.
Additionally, the movers they hired treated my things like garbage. Multiple scrapes and dents in my furniture. Broke a leg off of one item. Ripped the handle of a cloth bag. Riffled through my armoire and rearranged my packing, leaving behind one of their own jackets along with a clearly dropped-and-dirty personal item that they shoved into my underwear drawer, blackened with filth. Bellhop has made it SO DIFFICULT to even talk to them about this. Zero reparations have been done. So that’s why I’m leaving them terrible reviews. DO NOT USE THEM.

Let me start by saying, Bellhop is not a professional moving company. They are an agency that hires people willing to move you. They do not have moving professionals on staff. They are the equivalent of hiring someone to hire your friends to move your stuff for pizza and beer. Let me explain…. We originally hired them because I am a disabled Veteran with severe back issues. Moving heavy things, like furniture, will lay me out for several days after the fact. So this seemed like a good idea, man were we wrong.
The morning of the move, the “driver” showed up without a truck. He’d parked it at the bottom of our driveway. He claimed he could not get the truck up the driveway, told us to reschedule with the company and left. We called the company. We were immediately told it was our fault and that it would cost several hundred additional dollars to reschedule, or $900 to cancel the service all together. That ended that conversation. Shortly after the truck and driver left, three men showed up to load the now non-existent truck. They had no information other than to show up and that they would be paid (according to them) by the homeowner (us). They said they normally get paid $100 each plus $100 for gas. I called the company to see what was up with this. Unfortunately with this company, you get an AI that will deal with you first. The AI, without actually saying it, was telling us the men were trying to extort the money out of us.
After much back and forth with the three men trying to get money from us, they eventually left. My wife immediately emailed the original agent who handled our case. In the meantime we went into town to rent, $700 later, a U-Haul truck. Either a new moving truck was going to be in our driveway tomorrow so we could use it as a shuttle, or we were going to move ourselves. Later that night we got a call from a friendlier agent that we'd dealt with earlier in the day. She understood our plight and was at least willing to try to get some people out to not only load our truck, but unload it at the other end. Because of the late time of day (this was 8pm), it might be 10am before someone showed up. Well, 10am rolled around, nobody showed. We got a call at 11am stating nobody could be there til 4pm to load. That was unsatisfactory. We at least got them to secure people to help unload, for $1000.
Much to the chagrin of my back, we began loading the truck to the brim. After getting to the other end, there were three men waiting for us to unload. They did a great job. Had the truck unloaded in 30 minutes where it took us three hours to load. While they were unloading we got to talking with them. They’d answered a Craigslist ad: $50 an hour for three hours (minimum) work. Well, since it only took them 30 minutes, the agent that hired them was only willing to pay $40. One of the guys didn’t have a digital money transfer app. The agent sent me the money so I could pay the man his $40. In short, my wife and I paid a company just over $1000 for 30 minutes of labor, and the laborers only got $120 of…
The rest of my move went like this: I kept the truck for another day. I hired one of the men, at a decent wage ($500 for two days plus lunch both days) to help me move the rest of the stuff. All in all it took two loads in my Jeep, two loads in the 15’ u-Haul truck and two loads in a 12’x8‘ enclosed u-Haul trailer. And my back is now going to cause me issues for the next few weeks.

First and foremost, Bellhop are Brokers, not movers. They must not properly vet the movers, as ours were the most unprofessional men imaginable. The damage to our household items nearest $5,000, and the insurance policy I purchased had so many exclusions that they would only settle for $460. The movers 'forgot' their tools, blankets, dolly, and mattress covers. They reeked of ** and so did their U-Haul. Please think twice if you value your belongings.

Movers were incredibly slow. Had to split my move up into two parts, I used Bellhop for one and another online moving company for the other. Other company: showed up on time, moved everything quickly, not an item out of place. Bellhop: showed up late, overcharged well beyond my estimate, damaged some items and took three times as long as the other company. Movers used many small time wasters to run the clock - started billing before the truck arrived (“let me just scan your QR code…”), many “empty trips” without carrying items back and forth into the property, spent 10-15 minutes in the truck between locations.
They damaged items in small & annoying ways. Am I going to file a claim to get $40 after you chipped & scratched the wood on my dresser? Can I make a claim for the plants that snapped in half? They even left some items on the street that they forgot about and I only discovered after they left. Above all, their customer service is absolutely horrible. Would not wish this on my enemies.

The moving service went well. The team they recruited was lovely and they were tipped well. However the Bellhop service charged us for 4 hours worth of move 48 hours. As a deposit with the understanding that they will prorate and refund if it's less than that, or charge more if it's more than that. Straight forward. They ended up only invoicing us for 3 hours which is accurate. But what they didn't do was refund the initial charge for 4 hours. So they charged us twice.
After spending a frustrating amount of time submitting emails and talking to AI bots, whenever Id get a person, they didnt understand the problem. They would say they never charged me before the move, despite the fact that they have to charge customers before assigning the truck and team. I still haven't gotten a refund and am having to work with my bank to remove their hold on the initial charge. Their inability to handle invoicing was eye opening. I wish I had looked at their reviews before choosing their service.

Unfair charges, broken items, and zero accountability. I had a deeply disappointing experience with Bellhop Movers, and I strongly caution anyone considering them. I paid for three movers, but only two showed up on time. The third mover arrived two hours late, which naturally slowed the entire move down. Despite this being entirely their fault, Bellhop still charged me for a total of six hours, double the time of what was originally estimated as a three hour move. Let’s be clear: The move took longer because Bellhop failed to provide the crew I paid for on time. Yet instead of owning their mistake, they passed the cost on to me. Their idea of “making it right”? A measly $83 credit, which doesn’t come close to covering the additional time I was unfairly billed.
To make matters worse, they broke an expensive glass table during the move. Their compensation policy paid out $0.60 per pound, which is frankly insulting and nowhere near the value of the item. This feels less like customer protection and more like a loophole to avoid real responsibility. Between the late crew, inflated charges, damaged property, and minimal compensation, this company showed a complete lack of fairness and accountability. I trusted Bellhop with my belongings and my money and regretted it. If you value transparency, professionalism, and fair treatment, look elsewhere.

I had scheduled my move 2 months in advance. Reached out the week of after emails said call to confirm, which I did and was assured everything was on track. 10pm the night before my 8am move I get email that my move has been canceled. I was shocked. I put a deposit down and was assured no issue. I called first thing in the morning. While on the phone I was charged the remaining balance for my already canceled move. $1,200 gone! I could only get through to an AI operator and was getting emails that they would call me. It was 6 days before I got my refund but I had to pay someone else an emergency fee for short notice at a lot more money. They have yet to respond. My move was not big. I had used them before and recommended them in the past. I will never recommend them again. They stole $1,200 from me and my bank got the money back.

Two months ago, we contacted Bellhop moving company to move our household goods out. We received a confirmation that they would meet us at the downtown Raleigh apartment at 9am to commence the move. On the day of the move when the clock struck 10am we tried to contact Bellhop moving company only to be treated to the most unproductive AI (automated Intelligence) voice system which stated we would receive a call back. After an annoying amount of follow up calls only to reach AI, I received a call back from a human being who stated that they had overbooked and would be at the apartment at 2pm. Although this was disturbing, within seconds of making that statement the “human being” from customer service stated that they had some last minute adds that caused our time to be pushed back.
I responded with a simple question, which was, “can you explain to me why we, as your customer that booked and confirmed 2 months ago for 9am today, am having our time moved because someone else called you the day before? And why weren’t we notified”? Her response was, that isn’t what I meant to say which gave us cause for more concern that she was not being truthful.
We arrived back at the apartment early (around 1:30pm) and had the apartment complex raise the door to the open Bay Area for the truck. At 3pm, no one at arrived, so we called Bellhop moving, only to have the AI experience again which told us a customer representative will return our call shortly since they could resolve the issue. At 4pm, we had not received a call back and no truck at arrived. I literally had to book an emergency move with another company. Also please note, bellhop now charges you in advance which was not the case before.
When I called Bellhop back and because I selected the option for cancelling, for the first time, we were immediately put through to a human being that wanted to know why we were cancelling. After explaining the lack of communication and the multiple no-shows, I asked to cancel and she said I had to be transferred in order to do so. Who did she transfer me to? AI… I called back only for her to transfer me to AI again and I called back again and demanded to stay on the phone until I reached a human to cancel and also to release the hold on my card. After demanding over and over to speak to a supervisor only to be told there is no way to do that then I got a call from someone else from Bellhop who could actually cancel the reservation. I ended up having to pay a 20% emergency fee for the new movers and they didn’t finish until almost midnight when I had intended to be done by noon.
Bellhop has left us with the impression that they have no customer service ethos. Bellhop demonstrated to us that they do not honor its reservations. Bellhop has demonstrated to us that have one of the worst communication systems and processes with its customers. After experiencing over 20 years of moves while in the military and multiple moves on our own, Bellhop is by far the worst moving company we have ever experienced.

We reserved Bellhops two months in advance and received a confirmation for August 4th at 9:00 a.m. At 10 a.m. they had no shown and when contacted they stated they overbooked and would arrive at 2:00 p.m. They failed to appear at that time or respond to any phone calls. After canceling the service at 4:00 p.m., Bellhop refused to refund my deposit, claiming that they needed to follow a process and release the $1,200 hold on our credit card. Both these transactions should have been straightforward. We used another company that arrived within the hour (5pm). Bellhop claimed that they had some last minute adds to the schedule the night before which pushed our time back, which had been reserved for 2 months! Unsat!

If I could give 0 stars I would. I booked Bellhop for an emergency move, and although the movers actually showed up on time, it went downhill from there. I hired 4 movers, only 3 showed up. They manhandled everything they touched despite me asking them multiple times to be careful. Just about everything they touched got damaged. Even containers and items inside said containers were damaged to varying degrees. I could keep going, but long story short, I have 100+ pictures of the damages that I sent to bellhop and the 'refund' they offered was downright insulting. I am still working on getting a full refund because some of the items that were damaged are antiques and the cost to repair everything is as much if not more than what I paid for the move. NEVER USE THIS COMPANY.

I have never left a negative review, because even when I’ve had a bad experience with a company, it’s never been worth the trouble to leave a review. Bellhop is the first exception, because I feel like it is my responsibility to warn anyone considering booking them. Never in my life have I been scammed out of so much money and treated with such disrespect by a company.
I booked Bellhop to help me move at 2:00 pm on Sunday, 7/13. I called ahead of the move to ensure everything was squared away on my end, and they assured me it was. I started getting worried because I was told I’d get a call before the movers were scheduled to arrive, but at 2, I hadn’t heard anything. I called repeatedly and was unable to reach anyone (wild how their sales team is SO MUCH more responsive than their support team), until at 2:51 when they texted me that they’re delaying my move to 5:00 pm. I expressed frustration as I had work early the next day and this would mess up my work week. I also knew the move would take longer because I had reserved an elevator and parking spot that would be expired by 5. When I asked to confirm that they would be here by 5 at the latest, they responded that they’re canceling my service entirely.
I’m a single woman without a car, and I needed to get out of my place by midnight, otherwise my apartment would charge me a hefty fee. When they cancelled on me over text, I tried calling and couldn’t get a hold of anyone for a while until I got a very generic call saying they’re sorry and nothing could be done. At this point, it was about 4:00 pm, and I started calling moving companies who would be able to help me on such short notice. Because of the short notice, the company I ended up going with was the absolute cheapest I could find, but they were over double the price I had locked in with Bellhop.
By the time those movers could come, it was after 9 pm and I didn’t finish moving my stuff into my new place until after midnight. I had to work a lot the next week, and spent it sleeping on a mattress on the floor and going through my boxes to find clothes. I was pissed that I was out so much money, but even more frustrated because this was the first time I’d ever booked professional movers, because I was told how it takes so much stress off your plate, but it ended up causing exponentially more stress than if I just paid a friend with a truck to come by.
Since I was out so much money for a mistake that was 100% on Bellhop, I asked them to reimburse me for the additional money I spent on emergency movers that I would not have spent if Bellhop operated as they advertise they do. I tried calling the next day to figure this out and could not get a hold of someone who could help me. On my first few calls, it went to voicemail and when I finally spoke to someone, they were reading such a generic script that I think they were AI, and they hung up on me. On Tuesday, I texted them that I really need to talk to a real human, and on Wednesday, they gave me a call reading from another generic script saying that they’ll escalate my complaint.
I JUST heard back from them on their final decision over a week after my move was scheduled, and over text in a jumbled (likely written by AI) message, they told me that my case was resolved and they’re not doing anything else to help me. Because of their mistakes, I am out A LOT of money and experienced a lot of stress, and they refused to take any accountability or any action to make the situation right.
TLDR: I booked Bellhop because it was $50 cheaper than the competition, and now I’m out more than it would have cost to move twice. If you experience ANY issue with your move, the one dependable thing about this company is that their support team will be nonresponsive, disrespectful, and waste even more of your time. Save your time and money and avoid this company.

Horrible experience. We reserved three movers but only two showed up. Due to the fact that there were only two movers, they were unable to move our larger items (bedroom sets/ washer/dryer etc). They could only move "one man" items. We had to hire another moving company to move the remaining items. Therefore, we ended up paying twice for the same move. Also, the movers spent the first hour just trying to get someone on the line from Bellhop. Apparently, they hire random subcontractors. They do not actually work directly for the company. So, you have no idea who you may get. They were only willing to refund me $114 after the nonsense we experienced with them. Yes, I've contacted my credit card company. Bellhop has the audacity to keep contacting me for the balance despite their failure to adhere to their contract of providing three movers. Ridiculous. Do not do business with this company.

Zero stars. This company absolutely screwed us. We used their online tool to determine number of movers + length of time for a complete loading for our 3600 SQ ft house + attic & garage, and then they set out the ticket for a studio apartment. We ended up having to get an entirely second set of movers, a second truck, and push back the close on our house. Both us and the crew called them over 20 times, and they didn't call back for 3 days. We had already booked the unloading for the move, so we proactively called in to ensure the same thing wasn't going to happen. SURPRISE! It was. We had to pay an extra $2k for the "missing" labor. They promised a call back with a credit adjustment - guess what never came?
This is a corrupt, cruel company that exploits and screws its customers. But the men working it are hardworking and reliable. Do NOT use this company for any reason, ever. Book directly with the local fellas who are also being taken advantage of. Zero stars. These jerks cost us $8k, almost made us lose our house sale, and almost made us not have enough liquid funds for our house purchase. I fully give them the middle finger.

The time management skills were absolutely zero and I ended up having to become a full member of the moving team to keep the job from becoming a 12 hour job.

If I could give negative stars I would. They told me less than an hour before they came that the movers they were sending couldn't do what I ordered. When I said I have PODS sitting at my house that are leaving and painters coming tomorrow they called back and suddenly the same moving team "could" do what I was asking. When I asked how she said well they don't have that skill and aren't the best for the job but they can probably do it. Since I was stuck I said so then since I didn't get what I paid for I get a discount or something right? They said they would note it and see if a supervisor would call me back in a few days. Horrible experience. I am extremely stressed out because now I don't trust the movers to do what I paid for and feel like I have to watch them constantly. This is a joke. I have paid for uhaul movers and thought I would give someone else a shot. At least U-haul is honest, communicates effectively and is cheaper.
UPDATE: After finally getting a supervisor ERICA blamed me for how I booked. They offered no recourse or how to make it right and then I sent her a video of why exactly I booked how I did. She was very indignant and offered to send another guy at full price. UNBELIEVABLE. SIDE NOTE: Dante and Dom were awesome guys as movers and did good work. Everything else was a disaster.

By other reviews they may be on time or fast, my biggest complaint is they do not tell you their damage items policy. I found it the hard way. They moved me last summer (third party, not Bellhop employees) and they broke my flat screen TV beyond repair and damage a steel kitchen garbage can. Their policy is to pay on the weight of the items instead of the actual cost of the items to replace them. So for the two items above, they wanted to give me $17. That is totally ridiculous especially both items were not only a year old. I even tried talking to the manager and they would not budge. They're stubborn and when I booked online, I didn’t see a damage policy listed. I would stay away from this company and find a different mover. I’m so frustrated!!!!

Bellhop Moving is a deceptive brokerage (not a direct moving company) that intentionally underquotes customers to lure them in, only to inflate charges by 350% or more after services are rendered. The kids they hire as "movers" are not professional or qualified movers, and they even admitted underquoting is standard practice for Bellhops.
The company makes no effort to be transparent about pricing. They quoted me 4 hours to move a 750 sq. ft. apartment just 3 miles, with only one large furniture item (a 3-seat couch) and total possessions that filled only half a truck. The move ended up taking nearly 11 hours, and with all charges, the cost exceeded $3,000 - an outrageous, predatory scam.
When I reported these serious issues mid-move, Bellhop lied about sending help and never followed up. Post-move, they falsified documents sent to my credit card company, falsely claiming more movers were present and that I never raised any issues or concerns, despite extensive communications proving otherwise. The Better Business Bureau (BBB) has been trying to hold them accountable for years due to an overwhelming number of similar complaints (1.2-star rating, 131+ complaints), but the State Attorney General offices have not yet taken action. This company is a scam, a bait-and-switch operation, and a consumer nightmare. If you value your time, money, and sanity, hire one of the many alternatives to Bellhop Movers.

Bellhop’s damage protection policy, which calculates reimbursement based on the weight of damaged items rather than their actual value, is not only unfair but also deeply frustrating for customers. I experienced this firsthand when my belongings were damaged, and the resolution was a mere $12—an insulting amount given the actual worth of the items. This policy fails to account for the real impact on customers, leaving them feeling undervalued and unheard. After digging further, I found that this complaint is common among others who have used the service.
On top of the inadequate damage compensation, the movers in my case were late, and two of them didn’t even bother to show up until almost 30 minutes into the move. Despite this, I was charged the full amount. It’s clear that punctuality and professionalism are not priorities for Bellhop. Unfortunately, my experience isn’t unique; similar issues with tardiness, incomplete teams, and careless handling of belongings are echoed in reviews on platforms like the Better Business Bureau (BBB) and ConsumerAffairs.
Bellhop advertises itself as a modern and efficient moving service, but my experience, along with the complaints I’ve read from others, suggests otherwise. From operational failures to an arbitrary and insulting damage policy, the company seems to have systemic issues that undermine its reliability and trustworthiness. I cannot recommend this service to anyone and would actively discourage others from using it.

We booked with Bellhop for a move. The reservation was for the 20th of December at 2 pm. I was charged in advance for the move which I had no problem with. The reservation was for 2 26 ft trucks 5 movers and 5 hours. The team was over 2 hours late and showed up high, could smell the **. They only brought 1 26 ft trucks and a small 10 ft box truck. We had every box on main floor to make as easy as possible. I said the entire contents wouldn’t fit with the trucks that they brought.
They assured me it would. They proceeded to roughly load trucks and broke and scared furniture. Only half of our items fit and when I said, "You’ll have to make a second trip," they said it would be extra and got very threatening over it. They brought the items they had loaded leaving other half at house. When unloading again were rough with stuff and only brought into garage. I had to rent a truck and finish loading the rest of our stuff myself along with hauling everything from garage to the rooms of the new house.
I am a disabled veteran that has a very bad back that struggles with lifting and carrying, which is why I hired a moving company. When I called Bellhop they informed me that they could only reimburse me 250.00 of a 2600.00 dollar move saying that was fair compensation. I explained I wanted half back because they only moved half my stuff and they rudely informed me it wasn’t going to happen and I could sue them. Which I plan to do!!! If you are thinking about using this company please be advised. They are not an actual moving company. They are brokers that hire out cheapest bid and keep the rest. I gave a 1 star rating only because you can’t give a negative one.

The crew leader didn't load the 2-26' trucks fully. They dropped several things during the loading. They were dismissive about dropping items. The crew leader complained incessantly about the workload. The crew leader pointed out anticipation of going to the next job that was over 3 hours in the future. Lack of focus on wrapping our project up. They had room. I visually saw it. They were instructed they could leave a mattress and box spring if needed. Instead, they left important items including pictures, etc. Now, my wife and I had to fly back, rent a car, then a Uhaul, then load and drive back to our new home in Iowa. It will cost us an additional $1600. I am one to leave a tip, even on moderate to bad service. Because of the crew leader not loading the remainder of our items and it costing me, I will not be leaving a tip this time. She can tip the other people.
On a positive the driver AJ was very nice and professional. The loaders, other than the crew leader were positive on interactions with my wife and kids. Very disappointed in having fix their lack of discipline to finish the loading project. The second driver was not helpful or professional upon delivery. He slept in his truck without letting us aware we were good to start unloading. We waited about 20 minutes before checking on him, waking him up to get an update of next steps. He didn't help to open the trailer door which I found could be a danger and liability concern if one of us novice people got injured attempting to open the door and get the ramp prepped.
I did a lot of homework on finding a moving company. I've never utilized one before. Bellhop was the cheapest. I now believe they were the cheapest because of cutting some corners and ultimately costing me more money after the delivery/unloading was done. Items should not have been left behind. Trucks should not have taken off. They had more room. Zero doubt in my mind about this. The crew leader made this happen.

I would give them zero if I could. How do I even start? San Diego, CA was a nightmare. I had one mover arrive on a skateboard at 11:00 am asking me to log in for the 11:00am two person move. He said the other had an issue with the GPS and went to the wrong address. I helped move what I could and then around 11:30am the other mover arrived. They were both on their phones - the entire move and the second mover smelled like alcohol. I called Bellhop and their response is the following: The second person was given the wrong address- how did the first person arrive? They brought their own hand trolly - yet it is what I paid for on the moving truck. The first person who arrived. Said, "I don't like that one?" I said, "Then why not bring your own?" He said, "How can I fit that on a skateboard?" So, finally they used mine. They were the worst helpers I have ever had.

Absolute worse move of my life. I'm in Real Estate and deal with clients moving every day and the stress that comes with it. This used to be a great company when they first started. I would not trust a word that they say. They do not care about you or your belongings. We are having to hire another company to get the rest of our furniture from our old house. They left about 1/3 of what was quoted and didn't bring a large enough truck. Their solution was to give us a discount and to hire them again to move the rest of our stuff.
We just had our 100-year-old hardwood floors refinished and scratched them up and refuse to do anything about it. They had another move booked right after us so the guys just started stacking our stuff on the front porch. Furniture is in all the wrong places even though they were showed where to put it. They were moving so fast we had to force them to slow down because of the damage they were causing.

Hi, my name is Andrea and I'm a single woman who booked Bellhop movers as I had no one local who was able to help me. I was hoping that by paying over $700 for a move that I would have all the help I needed. That was not my experience. I was moving a bedroom (including bed and dresser), kitchen table and bench, wicker patio furniture, a few bookshelves and boxes. It was not a full home move - no living room furniture, no washer/dryer, only one bedroom, etc.
My Bellhop movers joked as they packed my items in the truck that the 26-foot truck was definitely overkill, that it would be a super easy and quick move, and we would be done very quickly. My belongings were going into a storage unit as I'm in a temporary living situation. The movers would not have to navigate moving my items into a new home so again, they joked it would be quite easy. My storage unit was about half full so I told my Bellhop movers before we left the house I was moving out of that I would need some help stacking items in the storage unit so we could ensure all of my belongings would fit.
When we arrived at the storage unit the team lead, Dwayne **, changed his attitude immediately. He looked at me with anger and disgust and said, "What are you doing? This isn't going to work! We have a 26-foot truck out there, we can't fit all this in! What are we doing here?" I reminded Mr. ** that I had informed the team that my storage unit was about half full and had asked them to help me stack items properly so we could fit everything in. I also reminded him of his own statement that the truck was not anywhere close to half full. Mr. ** continued to speak to me with irritation and indignation, saying "This is not going to work. I don't know what you're thinking. You're going to have to figure something else out. We can try to consolidate, but it won't be enough." He's the moving professional, so I began to panic.
The storage place was closed, so I reached out to a friend to ask if he had any space in his storage unit and he kindly responded that he did. Luckily, the unit was only 8 minutes away. I informed Mr. ** of this and he said, "Text me the address" dismissively and angrily. I asked for his cell phone number. He said, "What is wrong with you? I sent you a confirmation text this morning." I had forgotten, but I found it in my texts. Mr. ** then demanded I text him the access code to the storage unit, which I was uncomfortable with, but his anger had me really quite frightened. I was a woman alone, and this man had become very angry with me.
Mr. ** and his cohort had stacked a few boxes but they did a terrible job, so I decided that I would try to consolidate my storage unit on my own. I began moving bookshelves, dressers, boxes, lifting heavy items over my head on my own and by the time Mr. ** arrived back at the unit with some of my items I had properly consolidated everything. Mr. ** and his cohort continued to bring items in but they were not stacking properly according to weight and so everything would fit, so I had to direct them where to put items.
As it became clear that everything would indeed fit in my storage unit, Mr. ** approached me and said that he had been wrong. I appreciated the sentiment, but it didn't do me much good as I had already done the work myself. I told him that he had really frightened me and he replied that he didn't feel he had done anything wrong and that's not who he is. I'm sure that's not who he is, but I have no other information to go on other than how he treated a single 41-year-old woman who had hired professional moving help and received anger, dismissal and a refusal to do the job properly in return. I cannot express how stressful and scary this experience was for me. I cannot in good faith ever book Bellhop again because I cannot be sure that I will receive the help I paid for and more importantly, that I will be safe. I especially caution single women against booking this company.

I typically refrain from lengthy reviews, but our appalling experience with Bellhop compels me to warn others. This moving company, which presented itself as professional and reliable, turned our long-distance move from Los Angeles to Seattle into a complete nightmare. Pre-Move Promises vs. Reality: Upon booking, I discussed specific requirements with a Bellhop representative, Jamie **. I was assured that our movers would be Bellhop employees, in uniform, using a Bellhop truck, and equipped to handle a long-distance move with all necessary supplies. Instead, what followed was a cascade of misinformation and chaos:
Confirmed Moving Date Changed: We were informed at the last minute that our moving date was not guaranteed. Movers Unprofessional: The movers, who arrived in an Enterprise truck, were subcontracted, not Bellhop employees. They lacked professionalism, appearing disheveled and unprepared. Lack of Supplies: The movers had insufficient blankets and no proper packing materials, forcing us to use our own resources.
Day of the Move: The moving day was rife with stress and mismanagement: Incorrect Timing: Confusion over the scheduled time due to a timezone mix-up, causing unnecessary panic. Unprepared and Unprofessional Staff: The team leader brought his toddler to the job site, contributing further to the unprofessional atmosphere. The movers were inadequately prepared, with minimal moving supplies. Constant Threats of Insufficient Space: We were repeatedly warned that our belongings might not fit, despite prior moves having no such issues.
Post-Move Issues: Avoidance by Bellhop Representatives: Attempts to contact the Bellhop representative who arranged our move were futile. Empty Promises: Conversations with the CEO and other supervisors during the move promised resolutions that never materialized. Severe Damage and Carelessness: Our belongings were carelessly handled; not properly wrapped or secured, resulting in significant damage.
Conclusion: This move was marked by a severe lack of professionalism, preparedness, and honesty. What was advertised as a stress-free and efficient service turned out to be a distressing ordeal, with movers who seemed barely more capable than if we had hired random people off the street. The experience was so far from what was promised that it felt like a blatant case of false advertising.
Demands for Resolution: We have captured extensive video evidence and possess all relevant communications. We are seeking full reimbursement for the move and compensation for damages, which we estimate to be at least $10,000. Final Thoughts: If you value your belongings and peace of mind, I strongly advise against using Bellhop. This experience was not only stressful but also deeply disappointing from a company that claims to be a leader in the industry.

Bellhop Moving Services LLC dba United First Class Moving and Storage. HORRIBLE! LIARS, INCOMPETENT, DON'T CARE! This has to be the worst commercial experience of my entire life. United promised the moon, delivered a nightmare. We contracted with United for $1500 for 364 cu ft to move my wife's stuff from Utah to California; pickup on April 17, deliver on April 20 give or take a day. At first they set us up with Alpha Moving. Their driver had warrants, got in jail, truck got impounded, etc., lost a week. Then United, without our approval, switched us to Good Move USA, which turned out to be worse.
Good Move picked up on April 28. It turned out (according to the driver) that my wife's stuff was like 3 or 5 times more than the original estimate. United did an absolutely terrible job on the estimate. RICK and AUSTIN are to blame for that. Austin was the one communicating with my wife – he got the video she sent of her stuff, and he should have made it clear that she had 4 to 5 times more stuff than the original estimate. He did not. Incompetent, didn’t care.
We left out a bunch of items planned for the move, and finally added 200 cu ft to the original 364 cu ft. They did new pricing and added a bunch of charges that were NOT on the original estimate, and the total at that point was $4041.52. The driver couldn’t negotiate the deal – that’s not his job. It was Sun afternoon, and we were basically stuck, so Holly’s brother in law wrote a check for $1770.76 (Holly had to leave for California several days earlier because we had our wedding planned for May 4 and it was getting down to the wire). I figured I could work it out with United later. Wrong…
United has never taken any responsibility. WHAT A HORRIBLE COMPANY. GOOD MOVE did not send our stuff by May 3. Then followed a nightmare of no communication, bad service, many additional charges, etc., from Good Move. I contact United many times to try to address the situation, but all I got was resistance from BROOKS, the “customer service” person. SHE WAS AWFUL!!! We never got a new contract from Good Move, and so I assumed the same deal was in place that we made with United, but no. That was NOT the case. Each time I tried to discuss the matter with Brooks, she kept repeating, “You signed the Bill of Lading so that’s it.” Etc. I was finally told to email the owner COURTNEY, and I did, twice. I never got a response from her.
GOOD MOVE was a worse nightmare. I spoke to RENEE many times. She was incredibly condescending, and couldn’t promise any type of schedule (“Mr Glen, this is logistics… we can’t tell you what the schedule is. We can only call you 24 hrs ahead of time…” etc. Etc. Etc.). They kept holding our stuff, delaying, charging us for storage, adding more charges not in the estimate, more delays, etc. At one point, after they promised that they were sending the truck that day, and after we had paid even more (by then we were up to $4600), they did not communicate for 2 ½ weeks. I called, left messages, talked to AMANDA. She promised to speak to the owner, never got back to me… EVER… I asked Renee if I could email the company and I did, NEVER got a response.
I was desperate so I tracked down the owner (maybe absentee owner?) BENJAMIN ** in Florida. I called him and he promised they would deliver. I had to call back again and he said they would deliver in a few days. We also got our attorney involved, and they called Good Move and spoke to them. I also contacted the Colorado Attorney General’s office and they offered to follow up and I left messages with Good Move and My Mingle that we were starting legal action and would get a criminal investigation going.
Finally after all that pressure, they called (and blamed us for all the problems), said we had to pay $600 more money, which we did, and that we would owe another $900 when the truck showed up. The truck came on July 2. The driver said we had to pay another $1400, but I was able to convince him that some of the charges (shuttle, etc) were already paid for previously (and they were) so we paid $1000 and got the stuff… But… as he unloaded, we then found out that the two twin mattresses ($1100) were missing. Since then, we’ve discovered many more items missing, including 3 garment bags of my wife’s dresses, vases, sewing materials, office stuff, etc. With a total value of $2,150. Not to mention the personal value of the items.
The final amount we had to spend was $6100. And we didn’t get a lot of stuff we had in the original estimate, AND a lot of stuff that was put on the truck never made it. But Good Move didn’t care, won’t communicate, etc. On the phone with the driver and myself and my wife, RENEE called me (and said, “I hope he can hear this.”) a “conniving con artist.” WHAT A BUNCH OF CRIMINALS, RUDE, DISHONEST, AND INCOMPENTENT AS WELL.

Am a repeat customer. I made a reservation for a move and for some reason two reservations were made, for the same exact date and time.

They kept my reservation from the duplicate order!!! They say I should have known and cancelled both. Why the hell would I make two reservations for the same day? They will not refund my original deposit. This is terrible customer service. Luckily I had enough time to cancel the rescheduled move.

HORRIBLE!!! On 4/26/24 I contracted with Bellhop Moving to move me 2 miles away on 5/31/24 with a start time between 2-3 pm. I paid a deposit of $102 at that time to reserve my move. At 8:30 am on 5/31, they called and said they wouldn't arrive until 3 pm because their first move was running long. I told them that was fine and then at 3:30 pm they called again saying they would have to reschedule me because they no longer had a truck or driver for me. Rescheduling was not an option for me as I had to be out of my old apartment that same day and I would have made that clear at the time of booking and/or not booked them had they simply been upfront about rescheduling being a possibility.
After numerous calls, they finally told me that they could still provide me with movers but that I would have to rent my own truck and find my own driver. At ~4 pm, they said my new movers would arrive no later than 5 pm. The 2 movers arrived an hour late at 6 pm and finished my move at ~11:30 pm. These guys were great but my move was not a 2 man job! I was told I'd have a crew of 3 but only got 2 and naturally the move took longer than it should have, however, Bellhop won't work with me to cut any labor hours off of my final bill. I also had to pay for renting a Uhaul, driver, and transportation to/from the Uhaul rental location out of pocket which I believe Bellhop should reimburse me for. The only accommodation they made was not charging me $150 for a truck and driver, but my total costs associated with procuring my own exceeded that by nearly $300.
I contacted them asking for a partial credit and they didn't respond. They should reimburse my out-of-pocket costs and cut some of the labor hours since they didn't fulfill all of the obligations they committed to: provide me a truck and driver, start my move between 2 and 3 pm, and send a crew of 3. Not to mention the emotional stress of this move! I'd give 0 stars if possible - DO NOT BOOK THEM!

WARNING, BUYER BEWARE!!! (Bellhop Moving Company, and/or via Offerpad "Free Local Move Service")... I recently sold my home in Forsyth county to Offerpad. Offerpad provided a "free local move" for using their service, which they contract out to Bellhop moving. I only used this service to get my furniture and items from the house down into the U-Haul Boxes pod-like containers I rented. The movers arrived, a group of young men in their late teens or early 20's I imagine, who seem to have been sub-contracted by Bellhop moving. They got most of the items wrapped and moved out in an orderly fashion, but on the last container issues arose.
#1) They did not wrap nor put available moving blankets over or around the two bedframes that went into this pod, leaving them exposed to damages. #2) (Most important), the group did not have an appliance dolly with them and so they attempted to move the Kenmore Elite refrigerator by hand. They dropped it several times, dragged it and scratched it, left dents into it. It hit the face of one of them when they dropped it, and left a gash in the finger of another a second time it was dropped. By the time they got it into the pod it was severely scratched on both sides, with dents on the front stainless steel frame.
Bellhop made the matter worse! I took pictures once I noticed that this wasn't going well (see attached) and later on with assistance I removed items to get better pictures of the fridge. I submitted a claim about the damages to Bellhop ASAP. They came back ONLY offering me $150.00 for the fridge, because their policy is $0.60 on the pound for damages. Of course, this base policy is ridiculous for a multitude of reasons! A) I was not offered extended coverage, told about extended coverage, or offered movers insurance because I was not the customer (Offerpad was). B) $0.60 per pound means that they do not take into consideration items inherent value based on craftsmanship, quality of materials, technology, etc. Or essentially, they do not base recovery on an items MSRP or cost to replace.
I naturally complained about being offered this amount, and was offered an additional $150 ($300 total) as Goodwill compensation, likely because I had submitted a claim to the BBB by that time and they were getting involved. They refused to budge on this amount, and to make matters worse their claims process indicates that you either accept their terms within 2 business days or risk forfeiting your claim entirely... Otherwise if you don't accept their claim within 2 days then you lose the meager/nominal compensation that they are offering you entirely.
The response from their marketing team via the BBB's services was essentially 'We are sorry this inconvenienced you, but we are sticking to our policy and not reimbursing you more. Too bad, so sad that you lost your fridge' (see exact response below). I certainly hope that no one loses a TV, or has expensive jewelry damaged in a move, because at $0.60 per pound you are going to lose out! I've pasted their responses in email as well as thru the BBB as well for reference. Please don't make the mistake I did. You may choose to either forego Offerpad if the free move through Bellhop is a point of consideration, or ensure that you read the fine print and purchase your own extended coverage or movers insurance because they aren't going to tell you about it if you aren't the paying customer!

The most important omitted fact on any long distance move provided by Bellhop is weight restrictions. By evaluating your inventory and assessing number of trucks, Bellhop will only consider size of items. When quoting a fixed price contract they will not mention any type of weight limitations. After the move has begun and you are no longer available to make alternative arrangements they will often call "requiring" another truck and additional crew. Increases your cost by 50%. Much better to get a quote from a full service mover that uses 18 wheelers.

Also, all of them were late and nobody knew for about an hour where the truck driver was?! Telling me I had to call their office and either request if the driver will show or reschedule my move.

Once they reach my new destination they were supposed to unload at 2PM the driver was there sleeping in his truck and talking on the phone while we were waiting the rest of the crew.

To replace all my items would be $8K so the $400 doesn't buy me a bed or half of my stuff they damaged. I asked them to take the bed and damaged items with them since I wouldn't be able to use and the truck driver refused to do so since he had another job and he had nothing to do with those items, not wanting them on his truck...NOW I have to find another company to dispose those items since they don't fit in my car to move them from my house that they left here, even though their rep.

Disappointing Experience with Bellhop Moving. I strongly advise against using Bellhop Moving. Initially, the booking agent seemed friendly and accommodating, but the experience quickly turned sour. They subcontracted the job to another company without transparency, resulting in communication issues and unexpected fees. Changing the move window by a mere two hours became an ordeal, with delayed responses and unexplained rate changes. Despite my efforts to resolve issues with their operations team, I was met with indifference and lack of follow-up. Even when canceling the reservation two weeks in advance due to these issues, they refused to refund the deposit. Overall, a frustrating and disappointing experience.

If I could give no stars, I would. Bellhop moved some of our heavier items (washer/dryer, 2 fridges, a treadmill, etc) in July 2023. The truck was almost 40 minutes late arriving because Bellhop dispatch sent them the wrong address. The team arrived with no tools (blankets, straps, furniture or appliance dollies, etc.) so they were ill equipped to handle a move of any kind.
One of their movers dropped our washing machine not once but TWICE. The first time, I was assured the washer was fine/not damaged, the second time, the mover dropped to the ground and rolled around on the ground like a scalded dog because he dropped (not placed) the washer on his toe (this was not the first of his dramatic outbursts). Not only did they drop the washer, they dropped a $1,500 treadmill on hardwood floors, they also dropped and damaged a cherry chest of drawers. The driver assisted intermittently to keep the team on schedule, which ended up being a failed endeavor as it took them 10+ hours to complete the move.
I am now battling back and forth with their customer service team lead, Jack Dent, regarding the broken washer. He is useless and has given no actual resolution to the problem. An initial claim was filed against the other items, which had noticeable damage. That claim was "closed" and Bellhop is refusing to address the issue of the broken washing machine (the entire drum was broken away from the inside of the washer, due to their negligence) because the first claim was closed. We were not aware of any damage to the washer since it was placed in storage, by their movers, with the assurance it had not been damaged in their possession. Bottomline - do NOT do business with the movers at Bellhop if you have any desire for your items to arrive unscathed and in working order. Run far and run fast.
