MOVING SERVICES

Moving is a stressful time for anyone. You need to find a new place to live, pack up your old house, and get everything transported safely. As one of the leading full-service movers in the country, Bellhop has the team and the tools needed to give you a stress-free relocation experience.

Booking with Bellhop couldn’t be easier. You can receive a quote and book online in just a few minutes, or get in touch with a member of our customer support team by phone. No matter how you choose to book with Bellhop, we'll create a custom move strategy just for you – and send the best movers for the job.

Moving is stressful enough without having to worry about the safety of your belongings. When you take into account the time, effort, and money that go into moving all by yourself, getting the help of skilled movers is a no-brainer. When you hire Bellhop, you get a highly experienced team of movers that can transport your belongings safely, efficiently, and with no hassles.

In addition to handling the heavy lifting, your Bellhop movers are skilled at packing everything into our trucks. They know how to maximize space in the truck and secure your belongings to avoid damage. If you’ve moved by yourself before, you know the struggle of trying to pack all of your things into a vehicle, whether you’ve rented a truck or are making multiple trips in a car. It’s a time-consuming, frustrating process that is better left to the professionals.

One of the most important things to consider when moving is the organization and storage of your possessions. If a truck is packed incorrectly, your belongings are at a much higher risk for damage. A professional moving company like Bellhop will bring essential moving tools and materials, including furniture racks, dollies, blankets and pads, to ensure safe transport of your belongings.

When you contact a moving company for an estimate, be sure to ask what equipment the movers will bring with them on move day. Will they have tools to disassemble your furniture and/or appliances? Will they have the materials necessary to pad and wrap your furniture and delicate items to avoid damage in transit? Ask the questions up-front so you can avoid any surprises on the day of your move.

While you may think the details mentioned here may be obvious, these are important elements to consider when looking at how to choose a trustworthy moving service. Choosing a mover with a good track record may be the easiest part of the move, but making sure you have reliable movers with great customer service is worth a little extra work. Make sure the details above sound good to you, and take them into consideration when choosing the best moving service to make your moves go smoothly and securely.

The first thing to keep in mind is that a reputable business will have many more happy customers than unhappy ones.

Before you arrange any kind of move, you should reach out to get an estimate. Aim to get a quote from at least three different moving companies to increase your chance of getting a good deal. Remember that not all moving companies have transparent pricing policies (as Bellhop does). Be sure to ask about base fees, mileage fees, large object surcharges, and any other costs that may not be shared in your initial estimate. Some moving companies will even add fees if you don’t live in a street-level home (i.e. if they have to move things up and down stairs).

While many people look to online reviews to research movers, you should make sure that the reviews are written by regular customers who actually used the movers (review fraud in the moving industry is, unfortunately, commonplace). In addition to reviews that specifically mention customer service, reliability, professionalism, timeliness, and other important quality standards, look for specific details, like the name(s) of the moving professionals and the location the customer moved to and/or from.

Find out what kind of customer service the moving company offers. Are the customer service representatives knowledgeable about the types of moves that the company offers, and what will be required for each offering? Are they able to answer questions that you may have regarding your the details of your move?

There is nothing worse than having to pay too much for your move because the moving service overbooked their truck. Ask the customer service team how many vans or trucks the company uses on a typical moving day. This is a great indication of how well they can manage their business, but it's not the only thing you should look at when checking out a mover's credentials.

Other important questions for the customer service team include how long the moving company has been around, whether the company is insured, and if there are any hidden fees associated with their services.
