Delayed arrival or delivery
Several reviewers experienced frustrating delays either on moving day or with final delivery.
Damage to items
Some customers reported that items were damaged during packing or loading.
Unexpected charges
Hidden fees or surprise costs caused dissatisfaction among some Seka Moving clients.
What negative reviewers say
“The movers showed up ~2 hours late and then started threatening with additional fees and hidden charges. But even after all that, they handled my furniture in a very poor way.”
Michael CarusoVerified ReviewerGoogle“Several pieces of our furniture were significantly damaged during the move, and the customer service afterward was awful. The company acknowledged the damage, offered a settlement, and repeatedly suggested they would make it right -only to never actually pay anything.”
Sumo GuptaVerified ReviewerGoogle“My scheduled delivery date was missed by 8 days. There was no proactive communication from the head office. Delays and issues are understandable, but the inability to proactively inform customers of actual timelines is inexcusable.”
Daniel CousineauVerified ReviewerGoogle“We had a fine experience up until moving day. We had a few extra items and, because of public construction, about 100 extra feet the movers need to walk -these factors resulted in our quote being TRIPLED on the day of our move.”

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.
