kala bryantVerified ReviewerGoogle“Undergrad Movers are the most efficient movers we’ve used in our four years in CHS. Ryan and Sam were super friendly and professional. They got the job done quickly and packed our uhaul truck with skill clearly gained from experience.”
Beth Scribner BoylandVerified ReviewerGoogle
What mixed reviewers say
“The two young men I worked with were very sweet, helpful and quick, but giving three stars since my dresser, credenzas, and stools are slightly damaged.”
Krystal QuilleVerified ReviewerGoogle“The guys that showed up were nice but not at all prepared. No dollies or any equipment at all which meant they were carrying boxes 1 by 1 and it took very long.”
Milan WinterVerified ReviewerGoogle“We hired two movers and only one showed up. The one who came was great and a hard worker but we were not able to move everything we needed because of the no show.”
Kathryn Pedings-BehlingVerified ReviewerGoogle“The 2 guys were enthusiastic. But they need to watch you tube on how to load a U-haul. Unfortunately, the whole passenger side fell breaking a hard to find Wexford piece.”
Deborah SmithVerified ReviewerGoogle“When the movers arrived, they had no equipment of their own. The walk to and from the apartment was very long, but because they had none of their own equipment, the quality of the service decreased.”

Nicole TargaVerified ReviewerGoogle“The movers were a few hours late and I was given a discount to compensate. Three pieces of my furniture—a standing desk, a dresser, and a coffee table—have visible damages.”
Teunta ReedVerified ReviewerGoogle“Unfortunately, they dropped an item on the stairs and broke the stair as well as placed a hole in the wall. They later scratched the floor in our new home. This crew was not experienced nor trained properly.”
Shannan MurphyVerified ReviewerGoogle“The move can take longer than other companies due to a lack of experience with packing the truck. My bookshelf was damaged, and the claim offered only $18.”

Helpful North Carolina 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.
