Megan B.Verified ReviewerYelp“They misplaced wires, could not disassemble furniture correctly, and refused to reassemble a treadmill. They quoted $4,400 but charged $5,800, and one driver took over 10 hours to deliver a one-bedroom apartment alone.”
Damar FairbanksVerified ReviewerGoogle“The initial survey was underestimated, and the crew rushed, resulting in broken family heirlooms and an expensive smart fridge. When they ran out of time, they threw things in boxes. Jordan sneakers and furniture hardware were missing.”
Christer AntonsenVerified ReviewerGoogle“Nice workers, and the work they did was well done, but they were late, gave no calls, and brought half the staff. A one-day move became a multi-day move, and they left the kitchen unfinished.”
Grace M.Verified ReviewerYelp“After two months, a leaking van damaged furniture, rugs, books, and more. A computer, monitor, printer, vacuum, and tools never arrived. O'Neill referred all claims to National and washed their hands of us.”

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.
