Worked out from 24 ratings. That is enough to publish but few enough that one more review moves it noticeably, so read it as a hint rather than a measurement.

In their own words
DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. Absolute worst experience of any move we have ever move. Here is the short version of our experience: We hired World Wide Movers to move us from Oregon back to Alaska in August 2021. First problem, they called two days prior to our scheduled packing date and said they couldn't move us. We were rescheduled for a day later. Then the packers showed up 5 hours late due to not inputting the correct city in their gps. Next, we were quoted a two to three week moving time frame.
My contract to move to Anchorage was with the Mayflower Company and it covered the entire shipping to my home. I did not know that Mayflower uses subcontractors. When I moved to Anchorage, I was told to contact World Wide Movers. My belongings probably arrived in Anchorage before I arrived. Worldwide Movers refused to deliver my items after my repeated requests by telephone. World Wide Movers then told me that I would have to pay extra money to get my things delivered from their warehouse to my apartment.
Contacted World Wide Movers for a two part job at my house. Initial quote of $250 evolved to over $1000 without any explanation beforehand due to poor communication between several employees. In between the time I received the first estimate and the subsequent estimate, I was told I had to do some prep work at my home for the second part of the job. I paid a contractor to do that the same day. When the estimate increased for part two, I opted not to use this company.
BEWARE! World Wide Movers; Mayflower; the whole corporation of moving companies... INSPECTORS: OPEN THE DOORS OF CLOSETS & CABINETS & ACTUALLY LOOK IN THE CLOSETS & CABINETS TO SEE IF EVERYTHING GOT PACKED! The PACKERS WERE AMAZING, very courteous, respectful, & efficient. I asked them to not pack the pantry & spice cabinet & they did just that. After everything was loaded up, Ron & an inspectors went through the house looking for DAMAGE only, not inspecting for items left unpacked.
Rena, We are very sorry to hear about your frustrations with the items that got left behind. We received three messages from you late Thursday night/early Friday, all outside of business hours.
What satisfied customers point to
The same method, applied to the four and five star reviews. Most movers are praised for the same handful of things, so what is missing here is often as telling as what is present.

In their own words
I hired World Wide Movers to move my already packed belongings across town. The office was very responsive to my inquiries and communications. The pricing they gave me was consistent with the quotes I received from other local movers. The movers arrived at the expected time, they had a positive and friendly demeanor, they completed the work much faster than I would have thought possible (my new home is 3 stories with almost all the furnitureon the top floor), and they were very careful with my belongings and…
I am very pleased with the service we received when we relocated from Anchorage, AK to Asheville, NC. The two men who packed up our house were careful and efficient. When we unpacked, not a thing was broken!! It was great working with Samantha Renfrew from World Wide Movers. Karen and Andy Florian
These guys (Dan & Fred) really went far & above in ensuring my household goods were carefully wrapped and packed & that the new house was protected to avoid any possible damage. The efficiency and quality of work they do in packing is unmatched. Dan was very knowledgeable and efficient during the estimate done in person. He was on the dot in the weight estimate too. A TRUE EXPERT! I have made friends with DAN & FRED for life.
We've used World Wide Movers twice already for our move. The movers are always efficient, friendly and communicates effectively. They are courteous of our homes and would lay down protective coverings and boards to protect our hardwood floor. Highly recommend!.
Thank you for your review Jackie!
