    How we review icon

    How do we review a moving company?

    Imagine the challenge of sifting through and reading every single review a moving company has ever received. Could you spot the fake reviews? Could you formulate a well-rounded analyses, or would you be left relying on a gut feeling?

    Our rigorous evaluation process addresses this by meticulously vetting each moving company based on 11 crucial aspects of the moving experience:

    • 1. Quality

      Overall quality of the service provided on moving day.

    • 2. Punctuality

      Did the crew show up on-time with the required equipment?

    • 3. Affordability

      1 = extremely expensive, 10 = extremely affordable

    • 4. Communication

      Was the office staff quick to respond to questions prior to moving day? Did the moving crew notify you on the day of move regarding any changes to the original schedule? If there were any issues to resolve after moving day, was an office manager quick to respond and address problems encountered?

    • 5. Stick to Prices

      Was a lowball quote provided to earn business only to see the final moving day price increase substantially?

    • 6. Speed

      Did the movers seem to take their precious time in an attempt to increase the overall cost of the move? Remember, moving is HARD work and some breaks should be expected!

    • 7. Friendliness

      Was the moving crew cordial and friendly to be around on moving day?

    • 8. Will Hire Again

      How likely a customer is to hire the same movers again for their next move.

    • 9. Professionalism

      Did the moving crew behave in a professional manner on moving day?

    • 10. Conflict Handling

      Accidents can and will likely happen at some point on moving day. How a moving company responds to these accidents can say a lot about the company.

    • 11. Precision & Care

      Were walls scratched? Did furniture get scuffed, broken, or lost?
