Summary:

This company seems to be OK. They have 6 complaints with the BBB, but all those complaints are more then a year old, so if those guys keep up complaint-free operations their SOUR rating will rapidly go up.

For now I would say it is relatively safe to move with them, but overall I haven't seen too many red flags.

If you decide to hire this company we advise you to take some protective steps. Follow the guidelines in our Moving Guide regarding closing deals with movers and understanding your estimate, and make sure you insist on having an on-site visual and getting a binding estimate (but that should be done regardless of who you choose for your move).
