How we ranked the top Massachusetts 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 Massachusetts.
Rating Methodology
Here's the methodology we used to come up with the best movers in Massachusetts:
Our original review-based ranking algorithm
We started with a total of 394 companies that offer moving services in the Massachusetts area.
From these 394 companies, we analyzed a total of 68,784 reviews dating all the way back to July 2005.
We also reviewed a total of 216 state and federal moving licenses from these 394 companies and 1,465 different 3rd party review and social profiles.
Each of the ~68,000 reviews was scored according to our detailed 11-point rating criteria
This gave us a total of 220,145 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 28,165 Worcester 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.
