About
Our company, College Movers, was established by Ethan Vastbinder when he was a student at Brigham Young University-Rexburg. Although it has its origins elsewhere, it has grown and expanded its operations to several locations, including Phoenix, AZ. Phoenix is not just another location for us, it's a vibrant city full of opportunities and continually expanding client base. In contrast to many linear business models, we've adopted a radically different approach. Instead of focusing solely on profit, we focus on community. The majority of our workforce is composed of local college students. By doing so, we have managed to provide excellent, cost-effective services to our customers while simultaneously offering flexible job opportunities to hard-working students. While we don’t provide moving trucks or supplies, we offer a wide range of services such as loading, unloading, in-home moving, event setup, and cleaning. Whether you're moving into a new residence, rearranging your professional workplace, or just in need of help with odd jobs, College Movers has got you covered. Our purpose is to provide affordable labor without compromising on the quality of work, making us a refreshingly unique presence in the field of moving services.

How we ranked the top Arizona movers
Why you should trust us
We take reviews seriously to protect people just like you! Our team has been crunching data on moving companies since 2010. Our math-based ranking system uses data, manual review, and statistical analysis to help you hire the best movers in Arizona.
Rating Methodology
Here's the methodology we used to come up with the best movers in Arizona:
Our original review-based ranking algorithm
We started with a total of 429 companies that offer moving services in the Arizona area.
From these 429 companies, we analyzed a total of 74,225 reviews dating all the way back to August 2007.
We also reviewed a total of 21 state and federal moving licenses from these 429 companies and 1,398 different 3rd party review and social profiles.
Each of the ~74,000 reviews was scored according to our detailed 11-point rating criteria
This gave us a total of 228,775 data points to compute individual company scores.
Reviews are time-weighted so that more recent reviews carry more weight. This helps you understand how a mover is doing today... not 5 years ago. We have 35,389 Phoenix moving company data points from the past 2 years that carry more weight.
Bayesian averages calculated to fairly account for the differences between companies that are newer.
