House rules every page follows
- Every recommendation comes with a catchIf we tell you to consider a mover, the same section tells you the tradeoff. Look for the Worth knowing lines on our rankings.
- Plain English firstRegulations, valuation, and binding estimates get explained in words you would use, with the official term next to it.
- Scores live in one placeGuides do not print CMR Scores. Scores live on each company's profile, so a number is never out of date on one page and current on another.
- We say when we do not knowIf something cannot be confirmed, the page says so. We would rather leave a gap than guess.

Frequently asked questions
Who writes the articles on Consumer Moving Reviews?
The CMR Editorial Team writes every guide, ranking, company review, and route page. Each page is built from the Research Team's data and checked by the Review Team before it publishes.
Why don't CMR articles list an individual author?
Because no page is one person's work. The credit line names the teams that researched, wrote, and fact checked it, which tells you more about how a page was made than a single name would.
Can a moving company pay for a better spot in your rankings?
No. Companies cannot pay to change a score, a badge, or a ranking placement. See our disclosure page for how CMR is funded.
Who owns Consumer Moving Reviews?
Consumer Moving Reviews is owned by Preferred Movers Network Inc. Our disclosure page explains how the site is funded.
