I was surprised and disappointed by my experience reviewing moveBuddha. At first glance, their moving company pages look polished and helpful. They include detailed information about individual moving companies, including company names, DOT numbers, addresses, reviews, licensing details, and other trust-related information. As someone in the moving industry, I initially thought this was a useful directory-style resource. However, when I clicked “Get Free Quote” on a company profile, the request did not appear to go directly to that moving company. Instead, it routed to a separate quote platform. That is concerning because consumers may reasonably believe they are contacting the specific mover whose profile they are viewing. In my opinion, this creates confusion for both customers and moving companies. If a page is built around a specific company’s name, reputation, and licensing information, the call-to-action should be very clear about whether the customer is contacting that company directly or being sent into a separate lead/quote marketplace. Consumers deserve transparency when shopping for movers. Moving is already stressful, and people need to know exactly who they are contacting, who will receive their information, and whether the company shown on the page is actually the company receiving the quote request. I hope moveBuddha adds clearer disclosures and more direct-contact options so customers and movers both understand how the process works.

I have to agree with previous reviewers. Move Budda has to be getting paid to promote these companies. Some of them have awful reviews on other sites but have glowing recommendations on Move Budda. I am actually in the middle of a move with Safeway and I could not be more disappointed with my service with them so far. However they somehow have glowing reviews on Movebudda and I can't seem to find any other record of reviews for them. These companies are definitely paying for the positive feedback.

All I could say is I wish I researched this website before using it. I had a terrible experience with a moving company that was recommended by this third party website. Not goin to details but missing boxes, incredibly late delivery, and down right disrespectful service. I mean they literally held my stuff hostage. That said I reached out multiple time to Ryan Carrigan at moving Buddha. The only response I got was fill out our survey. I detailed everything and requested action. NOTHING. I wrote a few times asking to speak on the matter and nothing. Maybe they’re all in bed together. Regardless of my assumptions I would not trust these guys as far as you could throw them. No wonder there reviews are terrible.

S.M. posting from Sept reflects our experience exactly. DO NOT TRUST what moveBuddha claims. And the negative review I gave to Safeway was taken down from the moveBuddha site. This is an unregulated industry FULL of unreliable thieves.

Safeway Moving Systems is NOT a moving company. They are a broker. They have no moving trucks and no movers. They simply sell your contract to 3rd party movers that you have no say in. The moving company they gave our contract to had their driver EXTORT money at the door, refusing to deliver if we did not pay an extra $200 cash. They threatened my husband. Safeway was completely unreachable during this time, has still to this day refused to pick up calls, and they have yet to reimburse us for broken items. If you want a moving company, just book with the moving company. Otherwise you must work with multiple moving companies and none of them have to take responsibility for loss of items. Additionally, the initial price estimate is a compete and utter lie. The total price changed with each moving company. And what were we to do? They had all of our belongings as well as our contract. Once again, Safeway was completely unreachable once they had our money.

Movebuddha promotes fraudulent broker companies and I just wasted 1h talking to a guy from safeway moving systems that almost lulled me into believing him. Look anywhere else for reviews of these businesses and you will quickly find that they are terrible. Movebuddha seems to get some form of kickback because they try really hard to justify Safeway moving systems poor reviews on yelp! Why would you do that unless there's something in it for you?

I'm trying to move a container from Atlanta, GA to Portland, OR. MoveBuddha estimated a cost of $1,500 to $2,500. PODS quoted $5,700 for the move.

Do not use this site as a reference or use whatever company references this company. They are a scam. I had the worst experience moving due to this. Learn from my mistake and do not use them.
