bill owenVerified ReviewerGoogle“Brandon told us he would not refund undamaged darts because they had been used, though the written receipt did not state that. We found his response rude and the return policy misleading.”

Marjan P.Verified ReviewerYelp“Bought a beautiful stick. He helped me fix my bag when it was broken. But the tip knocked off my stick after 5 sessions. Not worth the $250. Great guy, super helpful. Just wish my stick wasn’t broken.”
Jake MeyerVerified ReviewerGoogle“After a $500+ bill, the rails were misaligned and the ball would not bounce off one rail. They returned to fix it, but wax later bubbled in the slate seams; another company ultimately fixed it.”

Helpful California moving resources
How we score moving companies
Every mover on moveBuddha is scored on the same six factors, weighted by how much each one changes a move.
- Quotes & payment optionsWeighs most
The heaviest factor, because price certainty is where moves go wrong. We reward estimates you can hold a mover to, and terms disclosed before you pay.
- Online reputationMajor factor
An objective read from third parties rather than from the mover. The Google rating for the company's headquarters sets the band; Trustpilot, BBB, and independent review sites are read alongside it.
- ServicesMajor factor
The range a mover can actually cover, scored across seven categories, with extra credit for the uncommon ones most companies hand off to a subcontractor.
- Customer supportSupporting factor
How easily you can reach a human, and how clearly the mover sets expectations before, during, and after the move. Verified against company documentation and direct outreach.
- Review feedbackSupporting factor
A company's share of positive customer feedback, converted straight to points, with no curve and no editorial adjustment.
- State availabilityMinor factor
The lightest factor, and deliberately so: wide coverage helps more readers reach a mover, but it says nothing about how good the move will be.
