Laurel MacDonaldVerified ReviewerGoogle“We got stood up on moving day and could not reach the office. The delay forced us to take time off, extend the lease, and reschedule deliveries; promised compensation never came.”
Mukund BapnaVerified ReviewerGoogle“The 4th mover didn’t show up for about an hour, delaying the start. Our mattress and couch became very dirty, and the lead overcharged us by at least $425 before a partial refund.”
Valerie ReavesVerified ReviewerGoogle“The crew declined to move our fridge and artwork after loading, despite both being included in the proposal. The office took three business days to respond, so we hired another company.”
Timothy B.Verified ReviewerYelp“They changed the time of my moving appointment less than 24 hours before the start. The movers arrived later than the revised window, and I was charged for five hours instead of three. My discount request received no response.”

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.
