“Sales guy, Larry, was excellent person to deal with and trustworthy. Loaders were mediocre/average. Truck driver was on time and clear communication. Unloaders were mediocre to above average. Corporate follow through was very inferior.”
YelpVerified Reviewer “These guys do a fair job. Some drawers and cabinets were unpacked, some boxes missed the truck, and promised follow-up never came. None of this was a big deal with my short move.”
YelpVerified Reviewer “The two males were friendly and punctual for the morning start time, but they were not very quick. They wrapped large items without unwrapping them, and dirty fingerprints covered an entertainment center.”

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.
