Graham CummingsVerified ReviewerGoogle“The crew arrived right on time and were incredibly polite and efficient. They handled our heavy furniture with immense care, wrapped everything securely, and even went the extra mile to maneuver a large sofa up a very tight stairwell…”
Robin MayorkasVerified ReviewerGoogle“The quote was below competitors and (as they will tell you) the quote is the final number, no changeups later. The men were very pleasant, efficient, and careful with our belongings.”
Brad MonteforteVerified ReviewerGoogle“First and foremost, the customer service at Got2Move is exceptional, the best I've seen of any company. The staff are extremely friendly, responsive, and helpful, and quick to answer questions and resolve queries.”
Annie BVerified ReviewerGoogle“I had a few days between needing to move out and when my new lease started, but they were very accommodating and held my things for a few days.”
EErinVerified ReviewerGoogle
What mixed reviewers say
“Paid for full service but some items were not reassembled and unpacked. There was a lot of plastic packaging I had to unwrap myself. 4 heavy boxes ended up on the wrong floor.”
A TVerified ReviewerGoogle“I hired this company to do a 1 bedroom to 1 bedroom move. I was quoted for 3 hours. However, they moved incredibly slow and felt they dillydallied at times. It went almost over four hours.”
YelpVerified Reviewer “Nothing broken or damaged. Great prices. They definitely work hard. The move was taking longer than I had hoped for because of said stairs and so I ended up helping out by carrying boxes myself.”
YelpVerified Reviewer “Ali and Rusty were nice and worked hard. However, the move took much longer than expected (other moving companies estimated 3 hours and they took 5.5 hours). I was coerced to submit a review before they finished.”

Higher-than-expected costs

Barath VedanthamVerified ReviewerGoogle“Originally given the estimate $1800-2500 for a move from LA to SF for a 1-bedroom. Ended up being $2800. Now I'll be buying a new $2000 tv to replace my brand new tv.”

GoogleVerified Reviewer “I went back to my old place two days later and discovered that they had hit the dials on the oven at some point turning it on, and it had been releasing gas for nearly 48 hours.”

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.
