In addition to an incredible moving-day disaster in which Bellhop-hired movers showed up with no truck, no supplies and short 1 mover for an NYC to Nashville pack and move, Bellhop lost a priceless family heirloom while moving me from NYC to Nashville, May 25-27. There was no inventory list for any of the moving teams (even though I did a thorough video inventory chat with Jesse T.), so there is no record of the piece. I'm posting a photo here in the event (praying) SOMEONE received this by accident. It's a large, flat metal sign that was my Grandfather's auctioneering sign. It reads: RAY STELZER AUCTIONEER 289-3350 It is a priceless family heirloom. I'm devastated that out of everything, this is missing and hasn't been recovered. Anna H. at Bellhop said she would personally call "every customer" that was on the truck's route after my stop. Apparently just 1 customer was called, in Florida. I am distraught. If anyone has the piece, please reach out to me or Bellhop. My email:
[email protected]. Beware these are not Bellhop employees that move you - Bellhop is a moving broker. They hired 1 company to pack/physically move (Dumbo Movers in NY), 1 company as the truck (Queens of Deals in NY), 1 company to unpack on the delivery (random 3 guys in Nashville, didn't know each other, 1 guy didn't show up). I was assured everyone would be a 100% Bellhop employee. Please know that is not the case, these teams are not coordinated, and the process is unorganized and chaotic. The packing team in NY did not speak English and did not know I did not have my own truck (!!) and did not know the final destination of the move (long haul trip). Several of my items showed up damaged and/or broken (3 lamps) and I was refunded approx $960 for the damages. That doesn't include the loss of my Grandfather's sign, which matters first and foremost. I have reached out to Bellhop leadership, including the CEO, through LinkedIn. It will take someone caring enough, with empathy and compassion, to take on sorting the route of the truck and tracking down customers at each stop. This is what I'm praying for and hoping that by getting the word out, folks will read this and be able to help. I am heartbroken and sick over the loss. Most of all, I don't want this kind of thing to happen to anyone else. Moving is stressful enough, who needs this? Thanks for reading.
