“A disappointing and nerve-wracking experience. It took 16 business days for them to deliver my items for an East Coast move. I was charged ~33% extra just because of an elevator fee and a 'long carry' fee.”
Bruno FrancischineVerified ReviewerGoogle“Pickup was okay. The movers arrived after 6pm (1pm-5pm window) and weren’t done until after 9:30pm. The delivery is deceitful and I feel cheated by their empty promises.”
James GarveyVerified ReviewerGoogle“The salesman that sold me the job was very deceptive, and when it came closer to the moving date the price more than doubled. But the guys that picked up our stuff was excellent as well as the guys that delivered.”
Tim SmithVerified ReviewerGoogle“While the movers were professional and nice, most of my large furniture was damaged -scratched, chipped, screws stripped. I would not recommend using this company.”

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.
