GoogleVerified Reviewer “I was blown away by this moving team. When I requested a quote they got back to me almost immediately. Angel and Jon arrived on time. They worked super hard and efficiently and were very careful with my belongings.”
Brian SteadVerified ReviewerGoogle“Carlos, Isaiah, and Mike were a total dream team, they were professional, respectful, and incredibly efficient. They were quick to get everything loaded, but what really impressed me was their care during the move-in.”

Erin CookVerified ReviewerGoogle
What mixed reviewers say
“The price was in line with other movers, but I also can't say they were very gentle or careful with my items. I saw clearly labeled FRAGILE boxes on the bottom of stacks, and a few antique glasses were broken.”
Emily MarcusVerified ReviewerGoogle“The staff was really great, but both times we were the first appointment and arrived about 45 minutes late. They also broke a ceiling light, and without upgraded insurance, the company refused to pay.”
Christine LuchtVerified ReviewerGoogle“They were easy to work with and get ahold of. Everyone was very professional and friendly. No hidden costs or fees. The movers were really slow compared to most professional movers I've come across.”
Shivan SharmaVerified ReviewerGoogle“A late arrival caused us to miss our freight-elevator reservation. The replacement team was unfriendly and slow, placed a dirty TV box on a clean stand, and tried to finish before moving the mattress inside.”

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.
