What the reviews show

1 review read across BBB
Only 1 review could be read across BBB; too few to assess the pattern.
  • WEAK
    BBB 5.0★ (1 review) vs Yelp 3.0★ (33 reviews): a 2.0-star gap between platforms — BBB rests on fewer than 10 reviews, so the gap is not a reliable signal (all platforms, n=34)

Verified customer experience reports

Structured accounts from customers who proved their move with a bill of lading or final invoice, a verified email, and a verified phone. No star ratings, no anonymous reviews, and nothing a company can pay to change — how this works.

No verified customer reports yet. Only customers who can document their move may submit one — that keeps the count honest, and it means it grows slowly.

How current is this report?

Last refreshed Sep 3, 2026. First published Sep 3, 2026. This report pulls from 302 pieces of information across federal, state, review, and identity sources, and is re-checked on a regular cadence. Every claim above links back to its original source.

NMB does not invent facts. When a section reads "—" or "this check has not run yet," that means we have not been able to verify the information from a primary source. It does not mean the answer is good or bad.
