Candice WoldVerified ReviewerGoogle“Upon inspection the day after I saw that formally pristine wood furniture was scraped and scratched. It looks like the wood was allowed to rub against each other during the trip. Also finger nail gouges in the wood finish.”
Gary WolfVerified ReviewerGoogle“They finally got there at 7:30pm and finished getting her stuff moved in at 2am. They made her pay more than the quoted agreement before unloading her stuff, then sent another $300 invoice at 5am.”

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.
